election slogans

Fine Gael (Ireland's main opposition party): "Under Prime Minister Garret Fitzgerald, we corruptly bailed out Allied Irish Banks thirty years ago. We were on the game before anyone else ever thought of throwing free money at banks, and we secured a grand total of nothing for Ireland in return. But we're not Fianna Fail."
***
Labour (Ireland's formally socialist party): "We promised never to go into governmental coalition with Fianna Fail and then did so. But we're not Fianna Fail."
***
The Greens (Ireland's party for poor little rich atheists): "We promised not to go into government with Fianna Fail and then did so. But we're not Fianna Fail."
***
Sinn Fein (Ireland's party for former terrorists): We love bombs, defunct political ideology, Karl Marx, and Jihadis, in that order. But we're not Fianna Fail."
***
Fianna Fail (Ireland's main political party): We're not Fianna Fail. Okay we are. But vote for us anyway.
