    FF telling people NOT to vote!

    over the past few weeks it's very noticeable the amount of FF supporters who, when talking to their friends etc, are saying things like

    "i dont know will i bother voting, it makes no diffrence who's in"
    or
    "nobody will bother their backside voting this time"

    They are deliberately trying to put people, who are angry with the government, off voting.
    (Watch this tactic in operation in your workplace, pub, shop etc over the coming few weeks!)
    You can be sure that come the 5th of June these FF'ers will dutifully trot along to the polling station and vote FF down the line.

    The fools who listened to them will be scratching their heads saying things like "how come FF didnt do as bad as they were saying" etc etc.

    it is everybody's duty to ensure that people get out and vote AGAINST FF on June 5th.

    Yes, they are masters of deception and chicanery no doubt.

    Much like their candidates election posters. You can barely see the tiny Fianna Fail logos. They are also using Yellow and Blue or White instead of the Usual Green...

    Fianna Fail really do play the Irish electorate for fools.

    Tis funny you mention the colour schemes.. I noticed that all right.. they don't look like FF posters or at least what you'd expect

    In fact, crazy as this might sound, but FG are using a double poster of Burke/Kelly down here, and the colour scheme looks exactly like FF's local election posters did in 2004... gives me heebee geebees passing them

    This is true for local elections but people should not vote on European representatives based on national party grievances.

    Sure don't we get the same message here...no matter what the title of the thread is ....it envitably ends up in "well what are the opposition suggesting?".from the closet and not so closet FF and the rest!!!!

    That tactic is not going to work. My impression at the doors is that people are looking forward to giving Ff a good kick. I think turnout will be higher than last time.

    Totally agree. If the events of the past 8 months [nevermind the last 12 years] are not enough to politicise people then we really are doomed.

    i met a nasty ff'er tonight whilst canvassing! I LET HER HAVE IT WITH BOTH BARRELLS WHEN SHE HAD THE CHEEK TO BLAME ENDA KENNY FOR THE FACT THE COUNTRY IS SCREWED!
    i must say i got a great kick out of laughing into her face and then walking away when she told me that "charlie haughey did a lot for the young people!"

    ff supporters really are idiots of the highest degree!
