Chris Christie’s Performance as governor
Chris Christie is the governor of New Jersey and he’s currently serving in his first term. He was first elected in 2009. He ran against the sitting governor and he was able to beat him. I believe he ran a wonderful campaign and I was impressed …
Obama
I have little knowledge when it comes to politics and how we actually run our goverment. I know we leave it in the hands of people who seem to become increasingly richer every second. If we let McCain have the presidency a great majority of the people will …
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal
Bobby Jindal is the best governor of Louisiana since Huey Long in the mid 1900’s. He is a great leader, and he knows how to get things done so that the state of Louisiana can advance. I really think that he is a great politician.
Jindal has done …

Socialist Alliance
I became a member of the Socialist Alliance because I believed that this was a political organization which valued human rights and equality while being different to the major ‘mainstream’ parties.
I gave up my involvement due to what I saw as elitism, unrealistic expectations and the failure to focus …
Teacher’s Strike,Victoria,BC,Canada
Why can’t the Provincial government realize that the youth of today should have all the benefits that a productive society can afford to give them! Our public school system even though is far better than schools in other countries, is still in need of some improvements.
We can look at …
Our National Strategy for Victory in Iraq
So the White House released this 35 page pamphlet, and expects people to suddenly understand exactly what is going on in Iraq and be all like “We’re sorry we were mad at you, Bush. All is forgiven. We know you have a plan for victory.”
Except he doesn’t. …
Hillary Clinton for President?
Now, after Mrs. Clinton, the former first lady and now-senator of New York, announced her candidacy for the office of president, I admitted that this was indeed big news. However, I’d first like to say that I feel she shouldn’t be, and please don’t go thinking I’m partisan (I’m …
Jim Doyle
I voted for Jim Doyle when he ran for Wisconsin Governor in 2002. I’ve been regretting that decision since.
I won’t say Jim Doyle has made a mess of things in Madison, that happened prior to him being elected. However, in 4 years, he has done nothing to show me …
Sarah Palin
I believe Sarah Palin is what will be the key to John McCain wining the election for president. She is what we have been needing in Washington D.C. for some time. It is about time we kick out the old cronies that have been holding the average American hostage …
ANC (African National Congress)
As a youngster I am not really interested in politics, but the recent activities, including the election of Barack Obama, have caught my attention a bit.
Whilst there is a positive spin on the political front in the USA, it’s a completely different state of affairs in the Republic of …
Ralph Recto, Youngest Senator in the Philippine 12th Congress
Ralph Recto a former Senator of the Philippine Senate lost his bid for re-election in 2007 National Election. I myself did not vote for him because I believe he did not deserve to be re-elected. He was the author of the Reformed Value Added Law that has now …
Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney

Gov Tim Pawlenty
Tim Pawlenty is a current Republican Presidential candidate. He served as Governor of Minnesota for two terms. I don’t believe that he has a chance of winning the republican nomination because he doesn’t have a lot of qualities that a good president should have. …
Communist Politics in West Bengal
it’s pitious that some young friends still believe that a communist party may be good for civilisation and i know they have no experience of living in west bengal.i am the wretched one and as i born and brought up here in west bengal ,i have the ill luck …
McCain
I beleive McCain did not run for president of his own free will. He was approached by people on top who want to stay on top. He was handpicked as being one of the most likely republican to win the presidency. He stands with Bush on almost all …
Democratic Party:What a Joke
Ok, so I’m not a Republican. (Really). But I have to say, the Democratic Party is an absolute joke. I mean, now they are going on and on about how President Bush lied to get us into the war with Iraq. Which he did. …
Fred Thompson the canidate of the people

Miriam Defensor Santiago
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 …
Newt Gingrich
You may have heard of Newt Gingrich, You may have not. Newt Gingrich was a former Republican Speaker of the House. Back then, He was a praised Representative. I myself agreed with his actions. He enjoyed collaborating with both parties. He was a great man back then. So? What’s …
Anarchists
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 …
Barack Obama
I think that so far during his presidency that Barack Obama is doing a wonderful job running this country compared to the previous president, George W. Bush. I voted for Obama knowing that a positive change would be occuring in this country as well as around the whole world. …
City Councilors of Dumaguete City
As a taxpayer, I believe I ought to make this review.
Just yesterday, the City Councilors office of Dumaguete City proposed and has given approval to appropriate an amount of P300,000 ($7,500)to buy their individual N82 cellular phones. Accordingly, the purpose of which is to improve public …
Manny Villar
Last Monday at the Philippine Life Insurance Congress, I was fortunate enough to have listened to the talk of Senator Manny Villar as he is one of our Guest Speaker.
You’d think that a person of his stature - Senator and one of the richest people in the Philippines, …
Obama’s Fuzzy Portrait (CNN feature)
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 …
Should Donald Trump Run for President
Donald Trump is a real estate developer. He has a lot of buildings throughout the country that were both built and named after him. Although he won’t say exactly what he’s worth most people assume that it’s a lot. I love watching him answer questions about …
Gov. Sarah Palin
I have to say that I’m certainly not a fan of Sarah Palin. She was the republican vice presidential candidate in 08 and now she’s a TV celebrity and she works for Fox News. Some of the things that she says and does are completely …
John Edwards
I am not even quite sure what John Edwards was doing in this race to begin with. Sure he was the Vice Presidential candidate back in 2004, and we all know how well that campaign went. And this was a race that everyone knew was going to …
President Obama
President Obama is a great president. I think that his intentions are good and that he is a real strong fighter and doesn’t give up easily, just look at the current healthcare issue; he is not giving up on it. I think it is cool that president Obama does …
Sen. Barack Obama
I am pretty sure that it’s not just America who’s been bracing for the November 2008 Presidential Elections, because even me who does not live in US is very anxious of the outcome of this Democrat nomination. I have been reading news, articles, and blogs on the different …
President Barak Obama
OK, I’m going to be fair about this and will start out by saying I know he’s only been president for a couple of weeks so giving him a grade this early into his president (before his first 100 days are even up) is jumping the gun a bit.
And, …
Noynoy Aquino
Noynoy Aquino has a possibility to run as president in the next year’s election in the Philippines. I think I will not vote for Manny Villar no more because for me Noynoy Aquino is more capable as well as have the heart for filipinos like her mother the former …

Bill Clinton
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 …
George W.Bush
George W. Bush isn’t just stupid - he’s evil. Not only did he completely botch the federal response to Hurrican Katrina, but he led us to war on a pack of lies. Furthermore, the web of corruption that has been built on top of Washington by Bush and his …
The Dylan Ratigan Show On MSNBC
I really don’t like how the political news is broadcast today, it seems to be more about entertainment and opinions, rather than real news. I tried watching FOX news but it was so slanted towards the right, it seemed phony and unreal, I watch MSNBC mostly because they …
Bayani Fernando, candidate Vice-President, 2010 Philippine National Election
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. …
Manny Villar
When I first learned that Manny Villar would run for President I thought he would be my candidate. Well after all, he seemed to be an honorable man. He served as Senate President for sometime and he in fairness have performed quite well. I also like his seemingly amiable …
Hillary Clinton Campaign
No Candidate is causing more controversy in the Presidential race this year than New York Senator Hillary Clinton. She has the highest number of voters who say they will never vote for her and at the same time she has the highest number of voters who say they …
Senator Manny Villar
This very famous Philippine senator has captured the hearts of Filipinos for his years of dedicated service to the poorest of the poor. He has been winning elections over elections because of this unique quality Sen. Villar possesses; his feelings for his poor countrymen. For those who do not …
Bush’s Handling of the Iraq Situation In General
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 …
George Bush
George Bush was the president of the United States of America for eight years, the most possible, from January 20, 2001 to January 20, 2009. He was very popular near the beginning of his presidency. His popularity peaked right after the 9/11 attacks. Then it began to fall. By …

Pres. Gloria Macapagal - Arroyo
As far as I can remember, Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo paints her terms as Philippine President in most distinct colors than anyone else had in the past.
She has many positive achievements but also propotionate in quantity, are her controversies and scams she …

Obama
In my opinion, Mr. Obama has alot of the same idea’s and views as communist Russia back in the 70’s and 80’s. And Im sure a good deal of us remember how that turned out. Total government control is a terrible way to run a country and …
Government vs. TV Network
There is always a conflict or a feud as what they say between Media and the Government. Perhaps, Media itself just want to let out all the information they know to the public but as of this moment in the Country named Philippines is quite different and reversed.
