A case for lobotomy
Last night, I saw the brain-dead.
I was watching a news programme as they did a final wind up of the general election as today is Moratorium Day, and tomorrow is the election itself.
The Great Unwashed were being asked about their opinions of the parties on offer and the general consensus was that Fianna Fail are going to get a hammering. This disappointed me a little, I must confess. I don’t want Fianna Fail to get a hammering. I want them to be totally obliterated off the political landscape. Neither Fianna Fail nor the Greens deserve a single vote, and I would go so far as to say that a vote for either is an act of treason.
They interviewed one woman. She dithered and doddered and said she really wasn’t so sure about Labour or Fine Gael. The then perked up and said that Micheal Martin had a nice face so she will probably vote Fianna Fail.
So there you have it. A micro-encapsulation of all that is wrong with Ireland today. A fucking dimwit who is going to vote for the party that bankrupt our country and sold us out to the EU, and she is going to do so because Micheal Martin ‘has a nice face’.
Words really do fail me. Have they learned nothing over the past two years? Have they really believed the lies and obfuscation of the traitors who destroyed our country? That woman and her ilk are just as responsible for our catastrophic situation as the politicians themselves.
I don’t care if the alternatives are confusing. I don’t care if the alternatives aren’t much better. The fact is that they are alternatives, and they cannot be as bad as the incumbents. And if people can’t bring themselves to vote for an alternative government then they shouldn’t vote at all.
But voting for Fianna Fail because Micheal Martin ‘has a nice face’?
God give me fucking strength.
Voting is a waste of time as all it ever changes is the people on the podium and nothing more.
Im past caring now when it comes to the votes. Voting is like shopping in a supermarket. they push they shove you around the place and when you leave the store. You forgot what you went in for.
Spoil your vote as none of them are any use. Remember spoiled votes MUST be recorded.
My predictions for the election –
Fairly high turnout.
A lot of spoiled votes.
Heh!
I am sensing here that USA does not have a monopoly on idiot politicians.
Bill is right it makes no difference they all have the same aim to enrich themselves and their friends. They care nothing about the people you wont see them again till next election. With the EU running everything why are they even needed?
While passing the time waiting for the next bunch of gobshite to be elected name any country with good leaders.
My choice… Singapore.
My polling card has been pinned to the fridge since it arrived in the post last week. Today- I took the time out to go and vote and guess what? So embarrassing – my name wasnt even on the list………………. everyone looked at me like I was a criminal and my cheeks were on fire as I had to walk out without voting. What an idiot!
“my name wasnt even on the list”
Result. The state doesn’t know you exist!! Hurrah!
Is today the day? I will be intently watching the nightly news for riots in Ireland, featuring bearded old farts with pipes and canes-foaming at the mouth.
So there’s the problem right there! The problem with governments, voters, general idiots and such. It’s the human factor you see. So all you have to do to solve the problem is to remove the human factor from the equation–no more problem. Of course this might cause a bit of trouble concerning the survival of the human race but it would solve the problem nonetheless.
A ‘lobotomy’ will have no effect on the ‘brain dead’…
Andrew – I fear you are right. I think most of the Fianna Fail followers have already been lobotomised. I just hope they don’t breed.
