When he labels his twitter account as “govchiefwhip” (and he has), he’s speaking as the government chief whip when he tweets.

I expect better from the government chief whip speaking as the government chief whip. Particularly when he’s also Minister of State for anything.

I think he is taking his position literally. Don’t you just love politicians.

Seems like FG are worried, why don’t they concentrate on telling people why they should vote for Gay Mitchell instead of telling us why we shouldn’t vote for Martin McGuinness, then again maybe they can’t come up with any good reason as to why we should actually vote for Gay Mitchell!!!!

Oh oh that’s not good!!! Now Paul did Inda not warn you about the dangers around gettin ur twitter in a fix.., you can’t be saying things like that about other people just because your own candidate is worse than a cardboard cutout. Jesus between Kehoe and the Brut Phil Hogan they are walking votes over to McGuinness…

As I said before FG completely bereft of ideas or forward planning for Ireland so all they can do is spit the dummy and try to slur other candidates. Think FG is getting too big for their boots only a couple of months in power and they are carrying on like this…

What an absolute idiot. Fine Gael have it lost before it’s even begun!

Minister of Hate

Isn’t it funny how Fine Gael coordinate their character assassinations just in time for the Sunday papers, ensuring Gay gets at least some spotlight, because let’s face it, without being a negative parasite leeching on MMcG’s candidacy, no one would give him a second thought.

Desperate attempt by FG to stay relevant in this election.
They are in for a shock as they find out they were never near as popular as they like to think.

FF are just very unpopular .

Wonder how the Northern Assembly Unionists how digesting McGuinness’ unsuitability for high office? The problem that FG and Mitchell have now is that having persistently tried to force the McGuinness’ campaign off the road, their own campaign wagon has careered off out of control on a rally of its own leaving the electorate scratching it’s collective head. Mitchell’s campaign is clearly both directionless and almost washed up. It needs a half a dozen reverse gears to get back to a non-hysterical starting point. Davis and Higgins presumably can’t believe their luck.

I think Higgins will win, as do the bookies. But if McGuinness does win, I expect Kehoe, Shatter and a few others to immediately resign from Government.

It’s tweeted and that’s that.”
Not quite. One defamation suit coming up.. ought to be worth a bit. Whats the value of an average Wexford farm these days?

Same old same old.

The Blueshirt Fascists are still alive and still promoting their message of hate , lies and division in Ireland !

Fine Gael are making some mess of our 22 counties :)

Serious back-fire for Fine Gael. Smacks of the Lisbon campaign: “Vote for Lisbon or we will lose jobs” – Now they are trying to pull the same stunt by saying: “If you vote for McGuinness we’ll lose jobs”… It’s beyond the pale, and the Irish public will see through this petty nonsense. By all accounts – McGuinness and Robinson have actually been doing a good job going over to the US on trade missions to entice work back to the north.

I’d be willing to go out on a limb and call this for what this is – terrorism by Fine Gael. They are using fear to try and dictate the public for who to vote for. I’ll tell you who they won’t be voting for, and it’s Gay Mitchell. He doesn’t stand a chance now and you can expect a few people to vote McGuinness now, just as a protest vote.

What a shower of yobs .. We voted them in because they promised us change .. Fine Gael has conned us just like Fainna Fail did … Same old shite .. Labour are the same … Lets have anybody but any of the above .. Shane Ross = Fainna Fail .. Mary Davis = Fianna Fail … Norris = Fainna Fail .. Dana = Fianna Fail …Mitchell = Fine Gael … Higgins =labour … All out for themselves ..

If in the unlikely event McGuinness actually does win this election won’t the relationship between them be slightly awkward and frictional?
Surely to this point these government ministers and representatives should remain neutral in their official capacity during an election campaign?

Ok seriously wtf is a chief whip?!

Why go on about it they have already decided who will win the puppet race anyway!!! lick the hole’s of county council’s to get in then your still on a string doing favours of those that got you in the first place why have such a high paid puppet for a mascot. Piss more money away go on as if there is not enough money waisted on that useless shower of f**k Witt’s already in the d…… why not have another big look in the courts on Did mcguinness get involved with the robbery or NOT f**k it let do it and really put this country back looking for soup again only we’ll have the spuds to go with it this time

He should be made resign for this. If he posted from his own twitter account, then it’s his personal opinion, but using the @GovChiefWhip account, and openly admitting that he posted using this account (it wasn’t hacked) – he should be sacked from the government.
Enda and others stood for long enough on the opposition benches shouting for FF heads on plates over similar things, and stated at the time IF they were in government they would sack the person … now is the time to put your money where your mouth is Enda… Have you the courage of your convictions?

Jim Mitchell from this moment will be working for all the People of Ireland ( in the 22 Counties presumably ) and obviously not the People of The Six Counties – as our current President has so phenomenally done so.
So I presume that the other four Counties to be excluded by him will include my County of Kerry , probably Louth , Donegal and anywhere else that have SF TD’s.
After all , if he is elected – he is going to be INFORMING us all on what he knows about SF and The North , as he stated – and that for a Fine Gael politician , is in truth – not a lot .

Time for you Mr Kehoe to resign from your post ! You have disgraced yourself ! and I’m looking foreword to seeing your Vote in Republican Kerry AND elsewhere Jim !!!

FG must have done a number of private polls and the figures scared them, i dont listen to Paul Kehoe about that bank robbery, i listen to the former garda commisioner, to Hugh Orde, to our government, to the independent commision to know who was responsible, we are fooling ourselves if we believe Kehoe is not right, be honest even just to yourself. Gay Mitchell is just a dull candidate , simple as.

He admitted it; so fair play. He didn’t try the ‘hacked’ excuse as predicted by some.
And let’s be honest.. insurmountable evidence hasn’t been enough to stop others squirming their way out of holes

Two short lines with the word ‘terror’ four times. Well done girl. Your auditioning for the Anti-Northern Republican hate rag, the Sindo, is going spiffingly.

brave man mr Kehoe.
