Seano. Should you come back with that list of SF`s great achievements, it has to
contend with facts like
Gerrymandering still being used against Nationalists in the North. The 40 most deprived wards in the North are made up with 36 of them being Nationalist.

Hows about we get back to the private medical proceedure itself, now that you have had time to read Gerrys version on his blog. The one that still doesn`t add up.

Seano. Where have I used child abuse to demonise Adams political beliefs ? Adams sen was a peadophile according to Gerry and his family ( or do you not want to believe him on this one. When something is broken like SF its hardly moaning to point out that it requires fixing. During the war, not pointing out such flaws came with the charge of " dereliction of duty". It now appears the leadership were also exempt from this standing Army order.
Please list the gains Adams has brought about, We`re all ears. Most people in the 26 voted for 2 certain partys and look where they are now. Finally never advise kids on those handlebars.

IrelandNorth. You mean remove
my moral blinkers to accept a
peadophile shelterer and
prolific liar to remain leader of Republicanism.
The same blinkers you and most had no problem with when I was attacking the Catholic clergy in the same manner.
Its not surprising either, how many posts I have submitted to the thread and no one has had the ability to bomb my argument out of the water. It is hard to defend such a man and only gets worse as he exposes himself.

Seamus you used chikd abuse to demonise Adams political beliefs now who belittled child abusers. Adams snr. has been accused of paedophilia and that may be true. Sinn Fein have seemed to have forgotten those who died.You continuously moan about their shortcomings and say nothing og the gains that have been made. The majority of nationalists vote for Adams and co. they have moved on. You are stuck in a mindset of what should have been or could have been and I empathise with your point of view. Sometimes you have to let go of the handlebars and take a ride.

A Sheamus, my stout fellow! You're no mean seriel poster yourself - ya know! Well over 60 on this issue alone, I reckon. Phew! The Rt Hon Dep Adams TD is merely one of approximately six million citizens and/or subjects on the Island of Ireland. Do you not think you should remove your self-imposed dray horse blinkers to broaden your parameters. Use your peripheral vision for once, man! And cease and desist head-butting that laptop keyboard. It won't improve either your, or its, memory. And RedBranch! The Iron Lady improved her absymal political rating in good ol' GB by rubber stamping her army councils decision to send 386 young Argentinian men in their 20s to a watery grave in the South Atlantic in one fell swoop. For an insignificant piece of purloined real estate, and not a little imperial ego.

Seamus: You make some good points. That guy from australia is the first to howl about the Catholic Church and the abuse by a small minority of its priests. But he's very quiet on the abuse in the Adams Family!

Seano. Your points to date are 1. Republicans just have to do with the best of a bad bunch, even though Adams is far from the best of the same, if thats what you`ll settle for.
2. You have diminished the hurt caused to victims of child sex abuse by inferring a differance because of where the peado`s heart is. ( Republicanism or any ism should be no hiding place for such vile people)or anyone that shelters them.
