Do people presume your viewpoint based on your political affiliation or origin?

[mayogodhelpus@gmail.com]

I was just wondering how many people on here feel they get judged a little unfairly both here and in real life based on the parties they align with or because they don't align with anyone.

Here are some thoughts of fair or unfair comments against some of the main political movements on this Island

Fine Gael
- West Brit
- Partionist
- Country & Western
- D4

Irish Labour
- Trade Union Pawn
- Beholding to FG, FF and now SF
- Not a real Left Wing Party
- Bluffers (FG, FF and SF have laid their cards on the table and Gilmore waffels)

Sinn Fein
- Terrorist
- Thug
- Lacking in Proper Economic Policies
- Northern Irish Party pretending to be All-Island

Fianna Fail
- Corrupt/Traitor
- Gombeen
- Clientelism
- Galway Tent/Bankers/Builders & top Trade Unionists.

SDLP
- Castle Catholic
- Cap in hand
- The Past
- A wasted Nationalist vote

Ulster Unionist
- Orange State (its all there fault)
- Sell outs
- Would join the Republic for the right price
- A waste of a Unionist vote

DUP
- Religious Zealots
- Right Wing
- Cruel
- Not real Unionists, actually Northern Irish Protestant Nationalists (Independent Ulster (Imaginary Northern Ireland))

UKIP
- Anti-European
- Anti-Irish
- Irrelevant
- Spoils the Unionist vote

Irish Green
- Flaky
- Fianna Fail pawns
- D4
- Hippy

Socialist/Left
- Unrealistic
- Unpatriotic (International Socialism)
- Communist
- Irrelevant

Alliance
- Flaky
- Undecided
- Who and what the f**k do you do
- Closet Unionist

Independent
- One Issue wonders
- Anti-Irish/Anit-British democrats because they are local issues ahead of their country
- Jackie Healy Rae
- Michael Lowery

Non-Aligned
- Uninterested
- Unimportant
- Easy to manipulate with a good budget
- Politically illiterate

Others
- WHAT?

So when someone gets a sniff of your view you get judged before you even speak.

Fixed that for you.

Fine Gael
- Michael Lowry

Fixed that for you.

Ha ha one thing I never felt unfairly judged by, the lad was long kicked out of the party and quickly too, not by the Fianna Fail method, sure he is nearly a member of FF these days.

[gallsman]

I consider my judgment of you perfectly fair considering you're a Fine Gael man.

No worries Gallsman, this thread was not intended as a moan. I thought it might be an interesting and serious topic to discuss, but suprisingly its less populat than the St.Stephens, Stephens, Boxing, Wran etc. Day debate. I probably should have expanded this to people gettingpre- jugded for being from the 6 counties, 26 counties, Dublin, the West, certain parts of Dublin & Belfast, rural, urban, living abroad etc. on where your stance before you even make a good, bad or ugly (often the case with me) attempt to argue a point. I know I often do this and try not to.

[magpie seanie]

It depends how closely aliged you are to the party. If you are basically a mouthpiece for th party line then you'll likely and rightly be judged as such.

I think you are suggesting that I am a mouthpiece. From what I can see, I don't think I made myself very clear in the OP. I was suggesting once a person says Fianna Fail (member, supporter or regualar voter) people think corrupt, Fine Gael - Partionist (which people can clearly tell I am not), Sinn Fein - Terrorist, Mayo - Gombeen/Parish Pump, Belfast - Angry/Paranoid Nordie, Dublin - Arrogant/No interest in the country only Dublin, Unionist - Stop listening to their argument just attack (vice-a-versa on other sites) and so on. So before you present an argument others have already decided what you mean in your argument, even if that is far from what you say.

[Orior]

One thing I dont understand is why some posters on this board try to make others guilty just for being nationalist.

Have to say, I agree with magpie on this. If it looks like a poster is a staunch supporter of one political party, to the point that every decision that party makes is the right one, it's hard to consider any of their comments as objective.

Or hysterically funny.

Or funnily hysterical at the mere hint of objection to the "truth "

OK, that's it.

One shower gets in.......they make a balls of it at some point.......people get pissed off.......another shower gets in.........they make a balls of it at some point.......people get pissed off........................

People who happened to vote for the 'winners' claim it as a small victory to themselves.

Nothing changes in their lives. Snooze.

I'll vote for whoever can get them to invent a draught Guinness can that doesn't pish out over my jeans!

I wrote that on the 'grinds my gears' thread once. Puckoon told me that I was an amateur. Vote for him.

Or he could get home help.
