I can’t say I agree with many of the policies implemented by the Republicans while George Bush has been in office, but I don’t think I’ll be voting for a Democrat anytime soon either.
The problem with the Democratic party is they really aren’t that different than the Republicans and …

I consider myself to be mainly an independent when it comes to politics. I agree with the Republicans on a lot of issues but thre are also some issues that I don’t approve of them on. I believe they did a good job of winning back the …

Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is the president of Indonesia today. Today, he is running for the 2nd period. But the fact, their leadership style is too melancholic and the political style is like soap-opera.
Why? Because unlike his former vice president, he is very slow on taking decision. For example, for …

Barack Obama’s candidacy in the 2008 Presidential election should come as no surprise to anyone who listened to his keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. He was the only speaker from either party, including the presidential nominees themselves, who captivated his audience. Whether you support or oppose …

As an Alaskan, I think I can tell you something about Sarah Palin.
I love her. LOVE her. I do not think she’s some perfect human…some messiah sent from heaven to save us. (as many think of Obama) But I think that she is one of the most excellent politicians …

Senator Manny Villar is one of the most controversial Senators of the Philippines now. Not only because he is seeking the presidency in the forthcoming 2010 national elections but because of the hullabaloo on the C-5 road in Las Piñas.

Bayani Fernando is my Vice-President for this 2010 Philippine National Election. Actually I was also rooting for his presidential bid until he lost the opportunity to become Administration Standard Bearer to Gilbert Teodoro.
Now what made me choose this man to be my Vice-President? Well this man is a transformer. …

Gilbert Teodoro or Gibo for short has seemed to overcome my choosy heart. Well this is as far as choosing the right Presidential candidate for the Philippines 2010 election is concerned. Honestly, I never really think I would choose Gibo. In the first place, I did not even …

The only information I know about this president wannabe is his political advertisement on tv and nothing else. Although he says that he is capable of making our country Philippines progress, I don’t think he has the heart to make our country united. It is too early for him …

I bleive we should have impeached Bill Clinton when he was president. I think he is partially the blame for the crisis in the Middle East. When he was president he cut our military to where we do not have enough soldiers left to fight a war the right …

Miriam Defensor Santiago is to me one of the most interesting figures in the Philippine politics. I admit that I was once so impressed with the eloquence and strong personality of this woman. I believe she also made a very remarkable performance as Commissioner of Immigration and …

As a taxpayer, I believe I ought to make this review.

I never used to care about politics until I joined the Army. This year in particular I have been following most of the candidates for both the Republicans and Democrats. The more I hear about Barack Obama the less impressed I am with the idea that he might get …

I don’t watch CNN too much because at times there just seems to be so much information that my brain simply can’t process. This particular segment addresses the idea that Obama is still a mystery to the American public. But many political commentators have agreed that …

I used to call myself a republican but not anymore. I feel as if the republicans and democrats are basically the same any more with the exception of a few things minor differences. I have been let down over the last six years by our current president George W. …

See, this is the thing…..I work hard, pay taxes, abide the law and contribute to society, yet I don’t have the same rights that a convicted murder has! How does that happen in America? Isn’t this country founded on equality and the rights for all to …

Presidentiables as early as now are already indirectly campaigning for the position. Although the election rule prohibits them on campaigning at this early, they never let that stop them in their subtle ways of their campaign.
One of them is Senator Mar Roxas. The commercial shows the senator riding …

So this is the guy that the Republicans have picked to be president. Out of all the candidates who were running under the Republican banner this winter, the Republicans decided as a group that, hey, maybe John McCain would be a good pick! And so it turned …

Well, the first thing I should admit here is that I am not a Bush fan, in any way shape or form. I have many facts that come from good, dependable sources, but there are some that are a bit shakier. I will share those suspicions, but please understand …

Manny Villar is one of the aspiring presidential wannabes in the Philippines this upcoming May 2010 polls. The Philippines being a 3rd world, mostly of the people are uneducated and what they see is what they believe. And when they are given a brief comfort from candidates, they think …

Ron Paul was once considered to be a front runner in the Republican race, but he is far down in the polls. I would not be surprised to see him running on a third party - he leans towards the Libertarian Party. There are also news stories about …

I do a lot of research on previous presidents and I have done a lot of studying on Ronald Reagan. I believe that he was one of the best presidents in history. He served two terms in office from 1981-1989. He was re -elected both …

I don’t like anarchists. They are bitter, arrogant, stupid individuals, the lot of them. The likes of Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky kind of anarchists is what I’m talking about here. People who will talk your ears off with their high-minded snotty gobbledy-gook then turn around …
