President Marty?

I think not.
You're two days late for that one.

Wonder why there hasn't been as big a fuss over it as I thought and hoped there would have been?
The usual suspects lost their voices.
Only one Indo reader liked the article??
Possibly finger weariness set in after the 195th article castigating McGuinness.

You're some boy. Late as well as posting articles from the Sunday Indo - which is more anti Sinn Fein than a DUP newsletter.
Maybe the American reporter is anti Sinn Fein too? Maybe the Sindo invented him? Maybe the squeaky voice on the tape belongs to Kate Bush and not Marty? Maybe Kate's anti Sinn Fein as well???

So I dont get to vote for the President of my own country, try telling black people they cant vote in America, thats what its like to me!

It's a bit more like telling black people in Canada that they cannot vote in the US elections.
Time to take a more chill-pill approach to life.

Which America? North or south? Then which country, if you meant one in particular.

Not sure if nordies can or not find a legal loop hole to vote, but if you really want to moan / cry about it, get out there and do something for a change (anybody remember "why don't you"?)

North America

Ireland

Well if the south didnt sell us out, we wouldnt be having this argument!

Go out and protest and campaign for voting rights? We might be seen to be associated with SF then, i would rather die.

I will, sure maybe we will have a referendum on it, then when we vote no, we'll have another one!

So you regard the six counties as being to Ireland what Canada is to the USA....a totally seperate nation? Take it down from the mast indeed.

MGHU you are a sad sorry excuse for an Irishman, if indeed you still are one and have not naturalised in your adopted home. I rarely agreed with you, but usually respected you and credited you with having some intelligence, but after reading that statement i see how wrong i was
