Why Shouldn't I Vote for George Galloway?

[bat020]

Voted on principle? Hahahaha! And you have the nerve to accuse others of "credulity".

Well, you know, I read her speach.

i can't trust a man that spells speech speach

 

[Wrong]

Well, you know, I read her speach.

Presumably you mean this speech. She does look like she's voting on principle there, rather than as a New Labour loyalist. OTOH, the fact that she's never voted against the government on a foreign policy matter suggests the opposite.

And she voted in favour of giving the Home Secretary the power to put people under house arrest without trial, with no 'Sunset Clause' on the powers, and should be voted against for that reason alone.

you're not wrong wrong.

that speech reads like a sop to her muslim constituents. hey guys, you know, i'm voting for the war, but i don't hate muslims, in fact, some of my best friends are muslims, guys? please beleive me...

Not nearly as bogus as George Galloway greeting all and sundry with "Salaam U Alaikum", like he got it going on.

 

[luka]

i fully acknowledge the twattishness of george galloway. i'm still going to vote for him.

 

[craner]

That is bad. Apologies.

 

[craner]

As for those of you voting for Galloway, I think you're insane.

I've seen the figures too, and it looks like it may happen.

oh relax i'm joking.

 

[craner]

I know I know but I get embarrased - I'm an English Master and I can't spell.

 

[luka]

needless to say, winding oliver craner up is one of the very best reasons to vote RESPEK.

 

[Backjob]

Shouldn't that be "maven" in this context?

 

[Pearsall]

more meat for the argument:

[craner]

More meat? That's pretty much a slam dunk.

Your protest = four years of reactionary hell for Tower Hamlets.

 

[luka]

yeah but oliver you loon, oona king voted for a facist state. yup, she said, bring on the facist legislation. and while you're at it, lets have another war. she's an amoral careerist wretch and the sooner she's gone the better. besides which, it'll mean a smaller majority for blair which even you admit is a good thing.

 

[henrymiller]

when even johann hari can get slam-dunks on a guy you know something must be up...

 

[john eden]

A pox on all their (no doubt, very large) houses.

I think Luka should run himself.

its amazing that people will swallow their distaste for galloway to vote against labour. galloway is by no means idolised by everyone on the left, btw - but it gives you an idea of just how angry people are about iraq.

maybe career politicians like oona will think more carefully next time if it looks like they may get ejected for supporting the kind of lies, evasions and myopic misadventures that has come to characterise the government.
