Well how do our southern countrymen feel about the prospect of having Martin mc fucking Guinness as your president?
It is the most ridiculous scenario I can think of, a fucking ignoramus of a man with a let's just say "dodgy history"

Forgetting his past for a moment (although he is a 70's version of Bin Laden IMO) ...... I dont understand how its allowed. He is Northern Irish isnt he? Arent they 2 different countries? Its like Tony Blair becoming president of France

I think Martin in his heyday would have called it "friendly advice"

Advice taken hope he wins

Only good thing bout him is the fact his name contains my favorite beverage.

He'll never become president.

I doubt it myself, he is third favourite, with the bookies.
Michael D. Higgins – EVS
Gay Mitchell – 5/2
Martin McGuiness – 7/2
David Norris – 8/1
Mary Davis – 12/1
Sean Gallagher – 14/1

It is a fucking stupid job, a mostly ceremonial role. Nomination for it has been seen recently as a way of "thanking" some arsehole or other for either good public service or keeping shtum about where the political bodies lie.

This is how retarded it is. The Government must approve all Presidential communications, messages or speeches and the powers of the President can only be exercised on the advice and approval of the Government. So if the President wants to do anything officially, or indeed fucking say anything, they need the agreement of the Government.

So called “powersâ€

Im just gutted Gay Burn isnt in the running.

McGuinness - sounds like a Scottish version of the black stuff!!

I never like asking my mate from Northern Ireland about politics just in case I either offend or get a visit from some boyos in balaclavas.
