Potential Presidential Candidates

I suppose you think it should be some IRA fella or something do you

Have ya bothered to read his earlier suggestions. Evidently not.

Some people on here are so fucking anally obsessed with SF bashing - a party I don't think I could vote for - that it clouds everything they post.

Sounds, I don't really agree with the celebrity/sports personality thing tbh. They tend to be airheads. We've had some fairly decent Pressies these last 20 years.

Nope I have not. Was too busy thinking up ways to bash SF tbphwy

As reading clearly is not your forte (if it was you'd have seen three names I previously suggested on this thread none of whom had anything to do with the defunct IRA and one of the three isn't even a fella) I'm not sure what a further answer from me could do to help you.

But just on the off chance you missed it I previously suggested Joe Brolly, Linda Ervine, or John Creedon. None of whom are or were ever in the IRA afaik. And given Linda Ervine's background I think that could be taken as read even by Zero and his fellow travelers.

Here la, I'll make it very easy so even you could grasp it

John Creedon. None of whom are or were ever in the IRA afaik

Thank you for clarifying that John Creeden is not and has never been a member of the IRA.

Hopefully this settles that discussion.

Good luck fighting a national election in 26 counties without a political party behind you.

But if the political parties agreed to stay out of it, much as they came together to agree to make certain places poster-free. I know it's unlikely to happen but I think in an ideal world it would.

Someone with a profile for doing good and who would likely be a safe pair of hands.

Maybe Catriona Twomey of Cork Penny Dinners or Noel C Duggan or the like

That alas is the raison d'etre for so many posters here. They don't bother to read what people have actually posted they decide to take a contrarian view because of who posted rather than what was posted.

Some of them regularly get banned for their senseless thread-wrecking efforts but they never seem to learn and keep doing it

Yeah some of them are airheads, but then again there seem to be airhead politicians in all of the political parties too.

I don't think Brolly, Ervine, Creedon, Twomey, or Duggan are airheads - far from it in fact. But it annoys me that for some our Presidency is seen as a kind of retirement home for some party politician who's "done his bit" for his party and they want to row in behind him and try have him/her installed in the Park as some kind of reward for being a good party member rather than for the job they'd likely do as President.

I'd also leave the voting open to anyone over 18 with a current valid Irish passport

No, it's combatting their online activists that most people are concerned with.
