I think you over estimate the power of the President. I received a flyer in the post from the McGuinness Camp: ‘Jobs, Fairness and Equality.’

We already have a Minister for Trade and a Minister for Justice. The President has no room for policy or legislative initiatives. The promises he, and other candidates, are making are outlandish!

If every one of them shoud know all the people in the photos, it might interest you to know that he got the identity of the rugby player wrong. It was Sean O’Brien, not Cian Healey.

Michael, is it the past or the future you are worried about ? Who would you want representing this country and its people ? All the other 6 candidates are in it for the money, McGuinness wants to lead this country out of its darkest days, nothing else. I think these videos show an awful lot of the character of the other 6 candidates. Every one of the others are financial terrorists in one form or another. They want to get their greedy, greasy little mits on the salary and the pension. Yes, McGuinness has a past. We all know about it. But that is history. Look to the next 7 years. Who do you want in the Aras based on what you know about the candidates NOW. Who do you think will work with every fibre of their body to deliver social equality, hold the Financial terrorists to account and bring down the Ivory Tower establishment through purely peaceful means. The media and the Government are terrified of McGuinness getting into the Aras, as it will be a kick in the teeth to their status quo, me fein view of the world. Ireland deserves a good leader.

Cal, you lose all credibility when you accuse Higgins of being in it for the money. What an idiotic statement.

LMAO!

M.D. Higgins, Financial Terrorist?

Do you not feel intellectually embarrassed by such a statement?

@ BJ, how many pensions is he receiving now? How many was he receiving 3 years ago. How come he used Union dues from SIPTU to pay for all his election campaigns. Do you pay Union dues? Would you like your dues to pay for an election campaign? Is that what the dues are for ? How come he collected Dail expenses when he was in Norway (not even in the country)? What do you call this behaviour? Its robbery. If he stood up and said that he would work for less than 100k per year now, i will retract my statement. But he said its up to the Dail (his party is in Government) to set his wages. His party is giving 700 million euro in 2 weeks time to unsecured bondholders from Anglo, while peolpe in trhis country are commiting suicide because of the financial strain they are under. His party implemented a budget in April that saw welfare payments cut,, Special Needs assistants reduced for the neediest in teh country, and all the while refusing to implement a third level tax rate for those earning over 100k per year. They are all the same… If you dont think this is financial terrorism, you are obviously not being impacted by whats happening in our country. There is no other way to describe this behaviour and strategy , other than Financial Terrorism.

Irish Indo, 24 April 2010

“Labour’s Michael D Higgins became the latest TD last night to announce he was giving up his pension later this year.
He said he had written to Finance Minister Brian Lenihan to ask him to come up with an across-the-board cut — and had been using his ministerial pension to finance African development projects in the meantime.
“I will end it altogether during this year,” he said.”

Terrorising the people of Africa with charitable donations!

@BJ, you just proved my point … look at the fisr statement i made, How many pensions now, and how many 3 years ago … He gave up one pension in 2010 in prep for the 2011 Presidential Election. That horrible little money grabber couldnt have done it after 2007 election??? He is looking for a large wage to take him into retirement. He has said himself, he will run for one term only. and then retire on a presidents salary. He is a thieving financial terrorist. The same with Mitchell and Gallaghers business is going down the swanny, so he needs a dig out. The banks are sure to give his businesses any loans they need, once they can see he is guaranteed a 170k pension per year for life in 7 years.

Cal your honorable sinners MP’s wouldn take the oath but had no problem taking her coin, claiming wages and expenses from the auld enemy.

Look to the Future! P.S. don’t always believe what the Media (vested interests) prints and says about people!
