    Neocons, spuccers and trotskyites

    That's how Ciaran Cuffe of the Greens described much of the NO camp just now on RTE. Is he right ?

    He was happy enough to be part of them until his party joined the Government.

    The Greens went stale when Fianna Fáil genetically modified and irradiated them with cabinet seats.

    Oh he's dead right and fair play to him for being so outspoken. The NO side really are made up of a collection of embarrassments

    What's a spuccer? I take it I'm lumped into the Trotskyites group. I don't know what a trotskyite is and I don't want to know. As far as Cuffe goes, did he rattle off any green voodoo economic theories on how their policies are all neutral and won't have an affect on the markets or consumers?

    Or did he do what passes for professional politics in Ireland and just call anyone who doesn't agree with him names? (Jaysus wept. What a sorry wee country we inhabit.)

    More than one third of his Party voted not to have the Party campaign for Lisbon.

    Link?

    Or is this a windup?
