take your head out of your arse citizen you spew enough verbal diorrhoea as it is.
Let's cut past all the bullshit romanticizing of the PIRA by these so-called 'stars' and get to the nitty gritty of what the Provos (and therefore McGuinness) were really involved in over the last 40 years.... deliberate murder of innocent non-combatant civilians, robberies (of banks, buisnesses & private property), smuggling, punishment shooting & beatings without any kind of justice or fair trial, hijacking, expulsion from Ireland with threat to life, protection rackets against local businessmen, murder of local citizens whose employment may be in any way connected to security forces or government (i.e. cleaners, builders, delivery men, census collectors), tiger kidnappings, arson, intimidation, bootlegging, money laundering, blackmail, torture, and many other types of illegality..... Oh, and most of these activities were aimed at Irish Catholics. Now i've no doubt McGuinness has turned away from most if not all of these activities but does the fact that he has stopped the human rights abuses make him a better person than someone who'd never been involved with this behaviour at all? Man of peace my arse!
“Martin McGuinness: From Guns to Government”, ISBN 1 84018 473 6, is an excellent biography of Martin. Highly recommended.
go martin..
Come on Martin! you have survived so much hostility and contempt...only someone with a clear conscience could keep going...keep going..you are a winner
McGuinness is of a purer stripe - unlike one honored with Prex of Erin by a people who didn't realize that Dev, was England's Greatest Spy. A brilliant cunning orator who unleashed the Irish Civil War and set Collins and followers up for the kill. DeValera was born in the United States and is of a Converso Cuban and Irish servant hanky panky.
@Bricktop and Canadianpat - No. Neither Adams nor McGuinness worked in the interests of all people in the 32. Until the IRA went off the scene, Sinn Fein were always outvoted by the SDLP, who represented the Catholics of Northern Ireland. The SDLP always refused to use violence as a means to an end (unlike both Sinn Fein and the unionist party), and it was they, not Sinn Fein or the IRA, who got the Civil Rights movement up and running. It was their leader, John Hume, who was the architecht of the Belfast Agreement, not SF or IRA. And in the south, they still only get 10% of the vote. Mr. McGuinness does not and never has represented the majority of Irish people in the 32 counties. For the record, the above four stars live in Marjorca and Hollywood, and do not have a vote.
I have friends (good people) in Ireland that stack up this way. In the North, Protestant Anglicans who think Martin is for real and believe he would be great for the job. While in Dublin, Catholic friends, can't seem to abide the guy. GO FIGURE!!! The man's latest work should be what he is judged on.
bailey 2000 I reccommend you stop drinking the old baileys,it's clouding your mind with innane rantings.
Me too! I'm voting for Martin and I'm my own star!
Re Fionnula Flanagan (from LOS ANGELES)- "I think he’s got balls"----- quite true, particularly to lie to the Frank Hegarty's family that Hegarty would be safe, just to lure him into an IRA execution squad. --- These actors are clueless. ---- Kudos to Fergananim and gobdawpaddy on their remarks.
The establisment has used Simi-celebs under their infulance and pay to attack McGuinness; so fair play to him. He is the only one of the seven worthy of the honor and capable.Those who suffered the lest during the recent Troubles seem to be the most bitter while those who suffered the most are backing him!He has been working for a peacfull ,respectful way to bring the people and the 32 counties together for the past few decades. Ask yourself why is the corrupt establishment that brought the nation to it's knees through personal greed so affraid !
I believe that Martin McGuiness is the right Man to lead The Country that he fought for and loves so dearly. What other Canidate has the credentials to be President of the Island of Ireland.Just look back and take note of what He And his good friend. Jerry Adams. has done for their Country over the past forty years We Irish living here in the USA Go out and support them. when they come over here.is it not time that the people of Ireland did the same.and remember the old saying. It's better to deal with the Devil you know. than the Devil you Don't. The World is watching Good Luck. Mike Dwyer.
Recent polls show Martin McG is third. He needs all the help that comes.
Martin, Is the only person for the job
