Campaign to have Martin Sheen run for president of Ireland

fantastic

hello there , i have created a group on facebook please join my campaign and my friends in campaign: Martin Sheen for Irish president . thank you x

Firinne: "Ireland can no longer afford to dwell along as a "Disney" version of a quaint little island nation, complete with Leprechauns, rainbows, magic castles and smiling colorful people with those wonderful accents!"----Why not, what else you got to offer? You're living in a failed state.

Behan 'a drinker with a writing problem'...just one of many I suppose that is why the gutter press attracts so many p*ssheads..!Slainte...!

roibaird: I had a much closer professional connection with Dominic - Brendan Behan's brother. A writer of some finess and a lovely singer of songs. Sober and intelligent too. Sadly he has left us, but he wouldn't mind a cardboard cut-out of himself being put up for the Aras gig. He might even send us down a version of his song 'Kimmage'; to the tune of 'Galway Bay' : changing " If yeh ever have to go and live in Kimmage" to:- " If they ever try to stick yeh up the Aras ..."

It is a bit rich that people who voted Arnold Schwatisname Governer of Ca and Ronald Raygun POTUS have the gall to complain about Martin Sheen on the grounds that he is an actor...Have a look at some of your own more 'colourful' Presidential hopefuls...!At least Sheen can walk and talk at the same time without inserting his foot in his mouth...which is more than be said of some of the recent candidates either side of the pond...Must be all that acting training...!

my god how the irish have lost there way, first it was the gay boy then gaybo and now a guy who played a president. i am so happy i got out in time.

Buffalobrave: Behan one of my all time favourite bad boys...If you get a chance to see 'Brendan At The Chelsea' take it...Written by his niece it is a compliation of his own work and family reminisces...Set in the Chelsea Hotel Adrian Dunbar plays Brendan and it has all his best one liners and then some...I have a few stories told to me but Ihave to keep them to myself...Enjoy!

Brendan Behan would get my vote if he were alive. I will alway remember how he would greed a Nun for the first time. I quote,."God bless you sister, and may all your sons be bishops."What a character.

yardleypa:the glums are back...time for another of your witty one liners...!

He'd be better than Charlie.

robaird; You could be right about the bould Brendan. He dedicated his life to trying to blot them out. 'Ireland would be a great place if it wasn't for the Irish in it'. ~~~ Although he's long dead; why don't we chance it and stick him up anyway?! ~ he'd probably fit in well with the current candidates! Btw: Please don't even joke about Bono standing - pass the sickbag!

With all due respect to a wonderful actor and gentleman, Martin Sheen could possibly offer this position, a wealth of ideas and leadership, however, my fellow Irishmen, who live in Ireland, have implied strongly, that they wish that only Irish nationals should be candidates or eligible for the position of President of the Republic of Ireland. A good number of names have been floated about, as these individuals are testing the waters, as they would say. Yet, due to the tremendous and direr straights suffered by the people of Ireland of recent, the position of Ireland's President would require not only a person who carries an impressive set of leadership skills but also broad experience in successful business development, international political and social affairs, and the respect and support of the people of Ireland. Perhaps we need a person who will be insightful and foreword thinking, and who could lead the country back into financial solvency, as well as to prepare the country and her people for a move forward into the twenty first century, and out of the 16th to 19th centuries, which may have helped to foster and promote the tourism imagery and the industry for the republic. Ireland can no longer afford to dwell along as a "Disney" version of a quaint little island nation, complete with Leprechauns, rainbows, magic castles and smiling colorful people with those wonderful accents! We are a strong and resourceful people, so much so that we have survived countless acts of total holocausts and annihilation at the hands of our English neighbors. However, the nation will need that leader who will help to draw the line on tourism as opposed to national stability and welfare! Slan

My oh my! actors, and presenters for the President? what next???? How about askin Bono?its a pity the bould Brendan Behan has passed on ! Lol Now theres one who cud have livened the scene up !

Some joke
