Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Seems like any time a politician out canvassing is faced by someone with political knowledge and a wuestioning spirit,they run a million miles.
Same happened to me when Alan Shatter came to my door.
I asked his minion about the Friends Of Israel and Alan's involvement with them and he ran way as fast as he could..I then accosted Alan himself about it and he was equally as unrepsonsive.
It just goes to show that the parasites that pretend onece every five years to have the interests of ordinary people at heart are just gutless wonders without a shred of respect for their constituents,content on playing simple popularity-contests every couple of years to ensure a cushy job and fat pay packet.
Empowered working class peoplescare them,scare them greatly, as they are a threat to the bubble of unaccountable power they possess.
Thats why they run like a greyhound from the trap when they are confronted with any political kniowledge.
Parasites.
Deputy Ivor Callely was one of the 78 deputies who supported the Taoiseach's motion to allow the US military to use Shannon airport to engage in a brutal war against Iraq, a war that was not even sanctioned by the United Nations, and a war based on the lie that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and was a threat to the "West"
This happened on 20 March 2003, Ireland's Day of Shame.
The crucial words of the motion were:
"That Dáil Éireann, noting the imminence of military action by a United States led coalition against Iraq
- recalls the long-standing arrangements for the overflight and landing in Ireland of US military and civilian aircraft; and
supports the decision of the Government to maintain those arrangements."
Notice the falsehood even in the first sentence in the use of the word "Imminence" in reference to Bush's war. Imminence means the quality or condition of being about to occur soon. The war had already begun at 10.16 pm on March 19th, (USA time) i.e 3.15 am March 20 Irish time and 5.33am Iraqi time.
The Dáil convened at 10.30 am on March 20th and after a six hour debate passed the shameful motion.

We live in a covert dictatorship, what is very irritating is how limited the political debate is in this country about the election, be it not mentioning giving away resources this country’s involvement in butchering the people of Iraq
