Irish Presidential Bet

[John m]

I would agree that Berty is odds-on IF he runs, but I don't think he will run.

What is in your favour John m is that he has not dismissed himself from the running, and the longer that goes on, the better fer your wager.

No other FF has been doing the Chicken in a Basket Circuit .PLUS FF cannot afford to lose a sitting TD .That is why I think Cathrine Connolly has a chance of a  Nomonation .some of the Independents supporting Government could support he .If she gets the Gig there will be a By election the Government should win ?

[John m]

Andrews says he dosent want the Gig .Is it getting to the stage of Berty or an agreed Government Candidate ? Nobody else in FF wants the Gig .

If Ahern is nominated we should campaign for the national flag to be changed to a €50 note.

It's already being considered in Limerick with their gay Mayor, bought by Uber, allegedly.

Who is better than Bertie ? The toxic Dwarf couldnt keep his mouth Shut but Berty knows how to do that .Berty could hold a Conversation with Trump and neither of them would understand what they just said or heard .Next 3 years going to be Dangerous for Irish Economy with Trump looking for small any Victory .We need a Politician in the Park not a Tv personality who stinks of Cow Shit or an X Alcoholic Cabaret Star

[John m]

Mick Martin has told FF TDs NO WAY is Berty to be allowed Run .Any TD proposing or seconding him will never see any promotion .Martin thinks Berty running would bring up to many bad memories plus Martin Hates Berty personally .

[Cool Boola]

Still I think it may be down to Lowrey.He is pulling all the strings for this government.Not sure how much Lowry likes Berty though?………[move]infacta[/size]

[John m]

FF were looking for somebody outside Politics .Niall Quinns name was mentioned but he was done for Drink Driving a few years ago returning from a game of Gold .Rumour at the time was it was another FF member who rang the Gards as Quinn was being considered to run in the General Election for FF in Terenure .Crumlin .

Government cannot give up a sitting TD FF have nobody not tainted by the past . No real outstanding Candidate .I recon it will be a very low turnout under 45% .

Where did you get all that from ?

Please don't say; "It was on Facebook" ?

Mate of mine was a Councillor .Talking to him yesterday .They recon Berty as the Candidate would Damage the FF brand bring up old scores .FF dont have anybody recognisable that would have a winning chance .Quinny and others outside Politics were being Considered .I remember Quinny being Done for Drink Driving on his way home from a FF organised Fundraiser .Strange how  he got pulled over ? Dont know if he was joking or not but the First Question potential Candidates are being asked is Do you speak Irish .

Breathalised on the M50  .Former Republic of Ireland international soccer player Niall Quinn has been banned from driving for three months and fined €200 for drink-driving.

Mr Quinn (39), Longstonerath, Naas, Co. Kildare, admitted driving with excess alcohol on the M50 in Dublin on July 29 ththis year when he appeared before Dublin District Court.

Judge Mary Collins imposed the mandatory disqualification of just three months as the alcohol reading was low. She also gave him a month to pay the €200 fine.

If Bertie Ahern was to be nominated and won, here's what the national flag would look like:

[John m]

The Dark Destroyers in FG are loading the Shit Cannon .Like I said earlier Mc Guinness is unelectable .He own Party are coming for her .FG suddenly discover FF might not run a Candidate so it could be a Walkover .Will Enda put his hand up now ?

[John m]

Anybody got an outsider for this half a million plus gaff and Staff Gig .FF dont want Berty ,FG dont want Mc Gunniss but do want the Aras .SF cant win it .Joe Duffy being mentioned in Dispatches but really a Radio Comic as President , The Lefties cannot muster enough votes to nominate a candidate without SF help .So looking at it The GOVERNMENT might Nominate a Candidate  Who? ENDA possibly if it looks like a walkover .Cannot be a lose Cannon like Higgins again . Imagine a Presidential Election years ago brought down Charlie now it dosent seem to matter .Its still Democratically the Most Important Job in the Country as the President must Pass all bills into Law .What does it say about Democracy when nobody wants the Gig .

How about this?

1. People are generally stupid nowadays, don't read newspapers and get their 'facts' from the likes of FB and instagram.  Gerry Adams just won a big libel case against the BBC and that will soften the cough of the media in Ireland about commenting on Mr Adams. 
2. SF are already cyber experts at pushing their (cough cough) version of events on the internet. 
3. Would it be a big stretch in a small field for a 'peace maker, statesman, cuddly book author' like Adams to get elected to 'close the chapter' on NI and start a 'new dawn' on the island of Ireland.  Everybody can be one big happy family - Catholics, Prods, Straights, Gays, Able-bodied, Dis-abled people     

OK, I'll take my tablets now and go back to bed

All valid points but Adams like Berty will bring up past .I think with the Big Orange Shite going Rogue the EU going to have to stand up to him .We need a security Guard to look after the Gaff for a few years not a President or nutter .Enda might not mind a 7 year shift for the National Good sort of thing .Some are saying it is not a Political Job but it is a Diplomatic one so needs somebody without a big Gob like Mc alese ,Robinson or Mick .Who might use the office to push their agenda .Think that rules out Adams .

[watty]

Enda might be done.  Has he kept his finger in the pie and gone on any state boards and the like?  Think his daughter got elected to a council so the dynasty is intact.  And I think he went hippy and spends his days cycling around the place smelling the fresh air.

Trump likes 'strong men' and Adams has that past (allegedly).  Adams fought the British for 30 years & dealt who many Prime Ministers & rumour says he knows how to deal with people who disagree with him.  TACO Trump would be no match for Adams.
