EDDIE HOBBS WOULD work with anyone devoted to the four key principles of the unnamed political party being set up by Lucinda Creighton.
The financial advisor told TheJournal.ie why he would work with anyone after we asked about Creighton’s pro-life stance being at odds with his own position on abortion:

If I listened to Eddie, I would have my mortgage rate years ago. Thank God I didn’t.
Wasn’t Eddie advising people to buy property in 2006 and 2007? He knew less than most people about our economic bubble.
*fixed*
Jack I remember working on site listening to Eddie in 2005 or2006 talking about boom and bust cycles being driven by oil prices and our whole future being intertwined with it.
He also told people not to buy houses right now because within a few years the bubble will burst and people will be in negative equity. I could be wrong but I remember being amazed at the prediction about property prices at the time.
He wasn’t the only economist that said it. We had warnings for the best part of a decade but we ignored these people and continued listening to our politicians. Not just FF but all of them.
Then again I am looking up to find this and I can’t believe this is the same guy that said what I heard on the radio. Do we really want a new party with him anywhere near our economy????????
Dear god..
“Beam me up Hobby ” ……
Question is would Scientologists work with him.
If he gives them 10% and he’s from the correct earning bracket you can be damn sure they will !
Scientology is very interesting to look at as an emerging religion to trace the birth of Christianity .
We know it is based on fiction – L. Ron Hubbard admitted as much I think , but it is celebrity endorsed and there is a gap in the market because of the other religions close association to Paedophilia and all other types of scandal….the same thing probably happened in Rome years ago – the word of the Orgy spread to the provinces so Rome needed a re-branding to keep the Gold flowing to it’s centre….
Would he advise them to consolidate all their loans into a credit union loan?
Not now because Mario’s gang (the central bank crew) have turned their greedy little eyes on Credit Union deposits – should never have let them in you know – and Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and Labour are completely to blame !
He’d work even with scientologists… That’s because he probably has no morals. No wonder he is joining cretin’s new party.
Stinks of desperation and the party hasn’t even a name yet
Hobb Knobs Ireland
Him and his 4 principles!!!! His voice grinds me gear stick!!!!! Couldn’t listen to him! Pity aliens didn’t come down and abduct himself and Lucy Lu
Sure by his very first political mate we knew he would do deals with absolutely anything …. when you start by scraping the arse of the pan only way is up
Ata boy Hugh, attacking the FG dissenters. Very cleverly done too.
The Opus Gael party
The article should be titled ‘Watch Eddie Hobbes explain why he would kick his own grandmother down a flight of stairs if he thought he could make a profit off of it’.
Scientologists may be crazy but they’d need extra brain washing to take Mr Hobbs up on his offer & that costs big bucks Eddie!
Scientology is mad alright. But no madder than any other religion.
Just heard him on the radio talking about social conscience. While he makes huge profits buying up distressed mortgages in the USA. I’m pretty sure families are effected by his profit driven agenda. A horror of a man, the likes we don’t need in government
Jaysus Eddie, we know you’d work with anyone sure Lucinda’s proof of that.
The man would work with the devil himself if it got him some publicity Eddie hob nob
Is this his way of telling us he’s a Tom Cruise fan?
The world doesn’t need another indoctrinated simpleton and maybe he should get a real education.
The county doesn’t need another political party either as this is just another illusion of choice as nothing ever changes. (Bankers “rule” the world not Politicians)
Maybe Mr Hobbs should do something useful and reform the fake monetary system.
The please vote for us no matter who you are because no normal folks will party. Hobbs is an arsehole plain and simple and Lucinda is a god freak.
Tom cruise for taoiseach, John Travolta as taniste, and jim corr as ceann choairle.
Sure let them run the county eddie why not?
You sir are a spanner.
Desperate to get on the gravy train.
A man of no principles would even work with SF.
Steady Eddie
a most excellent name and avatar …. The most famous black and white racehorse race in comedy.
Just watch Ireland needs another God squad with (4 principals)??????
Eddie HOBBES. The guy is so right wing it’s scary.
Surely we can fix the country by everybody spending their SSIAs like how Eddie told us to??
Shur we’re in the middle of our 5 point plan. Lol
Excuse me Hugh, would you please add a transcript of his statement, I honestly can’t bear to listen to that man – his voice gives me migraine.
Those Scientologists were encouraging people to invest in property off the coast of Senegal which went tits up….oh wait
Barry’s tea party
I am of the opinion that Hobbs will get some message from the electorate. He reminds me of Duncan Stewart, they both think that they have all the answers, and know everything. Fools both of them I think.
Reporter: So Eddie, would you ever work with the Sith lords?
Eddie: Of course! As a matter of fact, the are heavily involved in Real Estate and currently are finishing a very exciting new development, the Death Star. Modern design, amazing views. This is a fantastic investment opportunity which I wholeheartedly recommend to those who need a safe and secure investment 100%…..
Eddie worships to the God of credit unions
Hey Hugh, as loony and despicable as this lot are, Fine Gael are worse. You know it, I know it, and so does everyone else. Nice try though.
Bye Eddie
Eddie says ukip is a horror.. Bye bye half the electorate, pro abortion will get rid of the other half
I for one would vote for an Irish version of UKIP. That would be a real alternative to the Troika puppets we have at the moment!
Reboot Boy Eddie!
He’s thrown his lot in with Lucifer cretin, sure that’s like doing a deal with the devil
I think they are going to call ed’s new party the secret seven because 1 knows who the other 6 are, right eddie
Dobbies head is in a very dark place.
cos Eddie’s a jack@#s!
have your say
