Electorate was bullied PDF Print E-mail

Cóir Date: 03.10.2009

Cóir claims a significant section of the population were bullied and misled into supporting the treaty. Cóir has said that the passage of the Lisbon Treaty referendum is a win for the political elite but a very real loss for the Irish people who were “shamelessly bullied” into supporting the treaty.

 
“As time passes, and the treaty comes into effect, it will be the ordinary people who will suffer as wages are cut, jobs are lost and the EU takes more power unto itself,” said Richard Greene of Cóir.

“The Yes campaign was dirty, extremely well-funded and entirely based on fear and lies. This is a victory for bullies, and for those who did not respect the wishes of the people.”
 
“It’s a grubby victory for the elite who spent enormous sums frightening and manipulating people,” said Mr Greene.
 
And he urged the media to inquire as to the source of funding of the Yes campaign. “I very much hope the media are now going to pursue this issue and ask some hard questions,” he said.
 
The Cóir spokesman had warm praise for the thousands of volunteers who ran the campaign for a No vote. “It was a case of David versus an army of Goliaths,” he said. “The Yes campaign had no volunteers, had no passion, but they had millions to spend.”
 
Mr Greene added that a significant section of the electorate were unrepresented by any of the political parties and that Cóir would be holding some key meetings with its activists in the near future to look at providing a political alternative to those people.

We should brace ourselves for multi-national corporation and Saudi-funded "YES" vote fraud. Cowering Cowen is a traitor and so are the rest of the 'yes' ministers. It's just that simple.
See some more proof of Saudi funding on blog.antilisbontreat y.com if you dare. It's an article from Boston listed under the comment section of "Islam's Plan for Ireland and the EU under Lisbon 2." This link tends to space out a bit when listed on this site, but its all one continuous web address-- http://blog.antilisbontreat y.com/2009/10/01/islams-plan-for -ireland-and-th e-eu-under-lisb on-2.aspx

You should write children's novels. They'd be more entertaining than your conspiracy bullshit.

I just checked out your link... this is the same jargon, the same rhetoric that Coir is peddling. I wonder if the "Islamic Extremists" in that blog is not just another Coir member writing what his feeble mind is telling him to write. I'm sure you know the type of person I'm talking about... a person who is usually scared of the outside world, scared of the "blacks", scared of women who don't facilitate men's needs, scared of books without the words "I love Jesus" written in them, and scared of his mother coming in to his room.
Ireland has done themselves proud by not listening to these morons. THANK BE TO GOD!

Also, Thousands of non-Irish residents sent polling cards


BTW, Hank Palooka and Dirty Ahern sound as if they are bracing for their upcoming gay marriage. I'm sure the YES folk will give 'em a congrats whack on the bum! Or, Hank and DIrty could be mullahs at some mosque for all I know? Lauren21 seems glad that she can get her abortions in Ireland rather than traveling all the way to the UK like she's probably done so many times before.

Hi Lauren21. Well I'm not a member of COIR or even SF. BTW, I didn't read that you denied the trips to the UK. I guess the Saudi-funded yes side has paid you off fairly well to betray your nation. Unless, of course, you're one of the thousands of non-Irish immigrants who illegally voted yes. The truly narrow-minded people are the yes side who commit vote fraud and disrespect our election of 2008. I call them traitors or fools--take your pick.

Well, maybe when you sober up one day, you'll see the error of your ways. Meanwhile, enjoy yourself at Hank and Dirty's wedding with your snapper(s). (Snappers = The ones that got away from your trips to the UK)

For your information most voted NO. There was documented massive vote fraud. Quit being so stupid or so crooked--whiche ver is the case. Anyway, get a life outside of vote fraud and deception and quit telling other people to get a life. I guess that's part of the new EU, follow orders or else. And no, I believe the traitors, cowards and fools such as yourself are in the minority. You might feel better about yourself if you viewed the undercover film mentioned in the hope2cu person's post showing the voting irregularities. Now, read below and that's that. Pawns like you bore me.

NOTE: Under Irish law, people have 7 days to object to the false results of the Lisbon 2 referendum after it was published on October 6, 2009, in the Iris Oifigiuil. All objections to this great FRAUD should be made right away. Official government publication link follows:
