Enda Kenny Scandal, Rumble in Rathmines, with Fine Gael's EU Lisbon Treaty

[JohnAdams198805]

protesters bunch of idiots 

[JohnAdams198805]

what pack of idiots

[KrackowKid]

Does any Irish politician do Charisma?

[tiger1770]

God that lot of protesters are some pack of idiots...my parents would freak if I was caught on camera talking such crap!

[vokterhund]

From a Brit who immigrated to the American colonies to participate in the American Revolution, Thomas Paine

THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered.

Keep up the good fight for your struggles will be rewarded with the freedom you so desire.

[vokterhund]

The many of the reminent of free people of These United States are with you, keep fighting and you will succeed!

[tiger1770]

6.40 well done lucinda...we need more people like you!!!

[monaghaned]

Irish troops have served with the united nations in Afganastan aswell, shame on them No to lisbon

[ProtectingDemocracy]

I don't want to believe that Enda Kenny is some sort of evil psychopath, but what did he mean by saying just one word to young people - "freedom".

I mean, gosh, that sounds great but isn't that part of the slogan on the No-banner?

And where's the freedom in a dictatorship? Freedom from decision-making you mean?

Kenny may have some merits yet to come, but he will have to sidestep Barroso and the pack of wolves on each good idea he might have in future.

Anyway yeah, less shouting, more NO-voting.

[cornwallgeezer]

Vote No!

[huckteeper]

You are right. It is libertarian vs totalitarian. Left vs Right doesn't really come into it.

[thegunner96]

So its all or nothing is that what youre saying, if we dont agree with everything they put to us, we are out. That should tell you something. Are we as stupid as the world believes us to be!

[zmadlad]

Well I for one want Europes help. They have before and they will again. Sure if we vote no what is to stop the EU wanting Ireland out? Sure we are a burden to them if that is the case and if that happens I garentee the No side will want back in and take what we get. We need Europe more than they need us, just remember that.

[huckteeper]

Your attempt to portray this vote as in or out of the EU is disingenuous and typical of the dirty tactics being employed by the EU groupies.

I want to be part of a democratic Europe with a representative, *accountable* decision-making system, not an unaccountable, bureaucratic and borderline fascist "commission".

[huckteeper]

Public opinion will be led to adopt, without knowing it, the proposals that we dare not present to them directly All the earlier proposals will be in the new text, but will be hidden and disguised in some way.

- V.Giscard DEstaing, Le Monde, 14 June 2007, and Sunday Telegraph, 1 July 2007

Draw your own conclusions!

[2suns1hill]

zmadlad ... please do use your brain!!

[zmadlad]

.....and simple minded fools. The EU has been great for Ireland and we need all their support to get out of this recession. Voting no will undermine their support to Ireland in the past, present and future. Fine Geal and the Yes campain are the real protectors of Irish jobs and democracy, not these left wing dinosaurs who still believe Stalinism is a great ideology.

[zmadlad]

You left wing hypocritcs seem to believe that voting no to this treaty will protect Irish jobs. If a country has a lower cost base that is more attractive to companies then that is their right. The company has a responsability to its investors first and employees second. A major reason why our economy is struggling is because of Trade Unions demanding higher wages for everyone including people who are incompetant and dont deserve them. The no campain are represented by communinists

[huckteeper]

Oh, and voting yes to give more power to an power-hungry, unaccountable, unelected commission that suffers from legislative incontinence will help jobs? Voting for more regulation and more controls will help business? Our economy is struggling because its success was a mirage based on property speculation, not production. It has nothing whatsoever to do with worker's wages, which form a small part of the overheads of the average business.

[ProtectingDemocracy]

About 6:40 into the video that Fine Gael woman calls the protester a "bully" - this is absolute hypocrisy coming from supporters of the real bullies, Barroso, Sarkozy, Cowen, Amato, et al...

[jaffijaffer]

suit wearing sleazy bastards are only interested in there own self preservation, there is a 10mil bonus to all heads of state that sign that piece of shit document.

[jaffijaffer]

those promises are not worth the paper they are written on, like the peace of our time treaty. please vote No.

[shayno125]

eegits. leave our future taoiseach alone! YES TO LISBON

[jessieok]

It is simple really,,

NOTHING TO LOSE ON A NO VOTE!

EVERYTHING TO LOSE ON A YES VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!

[gitserscolt]

uneducated fool the lads you say are shinners or ordinary lads who are standing up for your freedom and your childrens freedom in the future only for our Constitution the lisbon treaty would of been passed into law by the EU without one single vote being put to the people of Europe how can one say that the EU is democratic fair play lads lets hope we say no again

[martinbyrne68]

Those guys are rightfully angry they might be a bit naive in their approach but at least they read the treaty unlike your Fine Gael politcians.

If i was you I wouldnt insult the left you might see things from a left point of view after you lose your job to a cheaper EU country.

Check out article 48 of the treaty, How can a self ammending european treaty be good for any country, In europe, ever heard of The Enabling act of 1933 you guys sound like the American Republican supporters.

[martinbyrne68]

There was a vote in Brussels prior to the Lisbon referendum on wether to accept or ignore the Irish referendum and they voted to ignore the result, one of those who voted to ignore the result was Labours Proncias De Rossa The amount of anti democratic politcians in Brussels is scary ,and Fine Gael are shoulder to shoulder with them , Fine Gael wanted a YES vote saying its a good deal , Then Sinn Fein went out and got a better one, who's is really looking out for us ,not Fine Gael thats 4 sure.

[alainvig]

yea the UN and the USA are the same thing, Europe needs to unite against the Americans

[teachill]

Anarchists is right! Sinn Féiners! uch.... Well done Lucinda.

[montrosey]

These prim and propers need to go to an asylum. How treasonous. Go watch Irish Idol on TV. I had no idea how dumbed down Europeans have become.

[montrosey]

North America is next. I would love to know who is getting paid off to ratify these lead ups to the New Underworld Order. People are getting bought off to pull our sovereignty down!! Purely evil people. They are amongst us. Traitors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[Spenner56]

Here are a few EU lies : There are no plans for a European superstate ; there are no plans for a European Army ;Galileo is for civil use only; the Constitution is not comparable to the Lisbon Treaty ; the Commission respects the Irish NO vote.

Europeans are getting tired of EU deceit and European taxpayers are fed up with FUNDING the EUs own propaganda campaign ; MEPs who can become millionares by fiddling their expenses and thousands of un-elected meddling beurocrats !!!!!!!

[VonKlitzing]

just saw this well after the fact and I must say I nearly burst myself laughing at Kenny and Co. doing the don't have a clue two step. Fair play to you lads. At least Kenny says he's with us this time if they try to force a second vote but then again he is a politician so I rather trust my kids with Gary Glitter then his word. Keep up the good work

[Maruku1981]

Oh man, and I thought Scientologists are aggressive.

[icarrickrock]

I can see Ireland leaving the E.U : )

[waynethecelt]

Fair fucks to ye, yer telling the truth!!!

[floydianworld]

"Political promises are worthless"

You can say that again brother. They come with absolutely no legal guarantee and are often willful lies which have monetary backing.

[floydianworld]

Gay Mitchell looks awful pissed off...  Big into Global Government that guy..

[jupiterjjrm]

@floydianworld Every time we confront a politician and ask them tough questions, it should be requested that the politician swear that they're telling the truth, with full commercial responsibility. Ehm, I think we'd see quite another reaction in them, like, ..., running?

[floydianworld]

Fantastic work guys... Say it like it is!

[Alan0874]

HaHaHa!

We kicked their asses!

[Alan0874]

Good stuff - he doesn't know what's going on!

;-)

[nuktu]

Enda doesnt have a clue what its about!

[MANCKIE]

Every Irish politician that is openly Pro EU should be hung !

They are SCUM dirty evil scum

[Effinell]

Great work - you have the 'Yes' campaign in full retreat both metaphorically and physically!

[Lectrosoul]

Nice One Fair Play!!

Peace

R.

[Gu3rr1lla]

Great work guys! About time we got off our arses!

[mibth]

It's about time people stand up to these corrupt civil servants,Selling our Nation down the river for their 30 pieces of silver. we all need to vote and we all need to vote no.

[boostah27]
