Fianna Fail's sinful spending spree

Saturday February 14, 2004 13:13 by John McDermott - R.R.F.P.(remove fianna fail party) Ashtown,Dublin

My picture will be in the world press just in time for the elections
There must be a united coalition of all groups to defeat the common enemy. If every parent living on this island were to bring a sick child, today, to a specialist hospital,such as ‘Our Lady’s Crumlin’ for urgent treatment and compare the shortfall of funds ,staff, and medical equipment, under which our doctors daily tend to the nations children;- with the sinful,nay,criminal, extravagance of the just announced cynical, pre-election, public relations exercise of Bertie Ahearn’s hosting of the upcoming European-American summit meeting in this country;-I truly believe there would be a revolution on our streets. If payback time comes not from the electorate , next June,we are truly lost as a spiritually moral , dignified ,and caring race of people.
This was not the nation for which Padraic Pearse, James Connolly,and others, made the supreme sacrifice.
I believe There is now an onus on responsable politicians of all parties to come together in some kind of umbrella grouping /alliance/co-operation to strengthen the opposition to the incumbent Fianna Fail Party.
A beginning ,for example could be the incorporation of a common slogan on posters and literature from all parties.
An example might be, the phrase; ’FIANNA FAIL HURT THE YOUNG,THE OLD,THE SICK AND THE HANDICAPPED’( giving the various reasons for this in detail;,rocketing property prices, stealth bin taxes, incompetent hospital management, elimination of wheelchair accessible taxis,etc.take your pick .They are all there.!) A superb irony if the were made to fall on their own sword(old election slogan)."hoist with their own petard"

Jump To Comment: 1 2At the moment there are no strong positive indications that a new umbrella government will be any better than FF. They will still be using the same out-dated political thoughts and principles.
Only just found out now. FF decided not to tell anybody so that he'd have a happy receptive audience comprised only of Fianna Fail members and their co-conspirators
