Cookie your Caroline Simons of Libertas and the Pro Life crowd, was very quiet today on there, has she been told only to speak when she knows what she is talking about?

She seemed to be trying to say that Libertas' printed propaganda did not ref the abortionists that would invade our shores come Lisbon passing.
But very much out of her league.

you mean the right angle?

the same show in which someone blamed the collapse of the irish stock market on our no vote to lisbon ?

i heard that shouting match and it was complete drivel. ALL liz could do was say "look who yer wit !"

as if THAT was a coherent arguement to vote for lisbon.

she studiously avoided saying whether what gilmore said after lisbon1 and if they still considerd the treaty dead. instead she did her best willie o dea and kept on talking when even the presenter told her to shut up.

considering the rapmant bias that coleman has in regard to lisbon, second only to o brein of saturday edition in my mind, thats saying something and seeing as they were deep in enemy territory i think mary lou and caroline did ok. TBH ima amazed you could pick out anything definative from what she said as most of it was partonising drivel in the "playing the player not the ball" mode of comment and the rest was lost in the overlaping noise.

coleman did here best earlier to slag off ganly in a peice he wrote in the sunday indo and made a bollocks of it. she kept trying to imply hes was promising everyting to everyone and was very short on specifics when one of the panalist pointed out

"well obama won a presidancy avoiding the specifics" .
