Well. You say I'm not consistent. I say you dance around the issues by ignoring what I say.
You could actually explain what you saw as inconsistency.
ZOMG! Rand Paul hates drones killing terrorists, but is ok to use on Americans

Well, very true, except it is not only, quite typical, it is by design. All Presidents disappear and are not noticed. They are not Kings. They are only Citizens that did the best with what the world dealt to them.
The job is very complex and simple at once. The Oath of Office, for example, is the most curtailed of them all.
No details, massive responsibility, to die for...and some have.
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
The next guy will be another complete asshole, I assure you. Notice how we didn't trade for Mitt, the wimp.
This is the worst job in the world, I think. It ages a person like nothing I've ever seen. And only the total jerks get in....as it should be.

Blah blah blah.
Learn to vote 3rd party for someone you actually believe in and who has similar political leanings.
The fuck up is the 2 party system being so engrained in your minds that you have to choose either AIDS or cancer.
Like Carlsberg said; they're not great options, are they?

Cos we've a shitload of varied political parties, it's easy to run as an independent and groups of independents are giving speaking time as though they were a party if they form a "technical group".
Oh and we have proportional representation, so equality is assured.
Hows that? Flied lice boy...

Here are some "major" irish political parties
Socialist Party The Socialist Party was formed in 1996 by far left former members of the Labour Party. It is a Marxist political party in the Trotskyist tradition and is organised in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The Socialist Party was previously named the Militant Tendency of the Labour Party but was expelled in the late 1980s. Joe Higgins was its sole member of Dáil Éireann representing Dublin West between 1997 and 2007, and in 2009 was elected to the European Parliament. The party is affiliated to the Committee for a Workers' International (CWI).
As of September 2012, the Socialist Party is represented by one TD, six councillors and one MEP.[SUP][2][/SUP]
[h=4][edit] People Before Profit Alliance[/h]The People Before Profit Alliance (PBPA) was formed in 2005 by the Socialist Workers Party, subsequently absorbing the Crumlin based Community & Workers Action Group led by Joan Collins in 2007. It is a broad left alliance that seeks to gather support against neoliberalism and war, and pursues other left-wing issues. The alliance succeeded in having five councillors elected in 2009.
As of September 2012, the PBPA is represented by two TDs and five councillors.
[h=3][edit] Workers and Unemployed Action Group[/h]The Workers and Unemployed Action Group (WUAG) is a left-wing political organisation formed in 1985 by Séamus Healy in response to lack of employment and the economic situation in the South Tipperary area. Healy along with his brother Paddy Healy, were former members of the Trotskyist League for a Workers Republic. Healy was elected to Dáil Éireann as TD for Tipperary South at a by-election in 2000, holding the seat until 2007. He regained the seat at the 2011 general election. At the time of the 2011 election the WUAG formed part of the United Left Alliance, but left in 2012.[SUP][2][/SUP] [SUP][3][/SUP]
As of September 2012, the WUAG is represented by one TD and five councillors.

Yeah, and if you knew ANYTHING about here you'd know that Fianna Fáil and Sinn Fein were originally the two "power parties", with Fianna Fáil being the major party until the last election, where they were wiped out from 3 short of an overall majority to third lowest party in the country due to their fucking retarded management of the 2008 crash.
Btw, I don't have a little sister...but you were forced to marry a mail order ladyboy, and at least what I say is absolute fact
You didn't even get paid for the green cards, ffs at least our illegals will offer to marry Irish nationals for €20,000-45,000.
