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 …

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. …

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. …

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 …

So we had a week of hearings, and now all of the pundits are weighing in (the ones who weren’t constantly weighing in during the actual hearings) and I have to say I don’t think I learned very much about Judge Alito. How are we supposed to decide …

After Hurricane Katrina did its damage a couple years ago, FEMA got a bad rep for being slow to react and not providing adequate help for those in need.
However, after recent flooding here, I got to experience FEMA first hand and, after doing so, I have to admit they …

Representative John Murtha, Democratic Congressman and marine veteran with 37 years of service, has proposed a withdrawal plan for troops in Iraq to take place over a six month period. It is a well-thought out, appropriate proposal that would do well to serve our nation and our troops.
The …

the other day i watched a documentary film called fahrenheit 9/11.it was shocking to see what bush did in his earlier years before he was elected president.that is to say if what michael moore says is true.
im not saying what bust did in iraq was right,also what they did …

I don’t quite know what to think about Rudy Giuliani. On the one hand, he seemed to be one of the better candidates for President. On the other hand, his campaign was so mismanaged from day one that I really don’t know what he was thinking. …

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 …

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 …

Loren Legarda could have been my bet for Vice-President this coming May 10, 2010 Philippine National Election if only she did not become a political opportunist. Remember her sudden defection to Joseph Estrada’s camp during the last national election. She was the running mate of Fernando Poe Jr. but …

It was a novel experience for me to vote in the General Elections for the Parliament and the State Legilature on 16th April 09. The polling booth in a school which was about 2 kms away from my residence. The polling started at 7.00 AM. I reached the polling booth …

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. …

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 …

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 …

Newt Gingrich just announced that he is running for president as a Republican. He was the former speaker of the house. I do feel as if he did a lot for the Republican party but I don’t believe that he is the right choice for …

I live in south-africa,and the problem is zimbabwe previouslly known as rhodesie.what really bugs me is that every person around the world believes that what going on in zimbabwe is happening in south africa.Take south-africa\’s economy,if robert mugabe (president of zimbabwe) does something that no one likes,which is usually …

The Elections of 2008 will undoubtedly be historic for many reasons. The race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is without precedent. This marks the first time in history that a woman has sought her party’s nomination for president.
We cannot say it is the first …

The other day I saw part of a debate on You Tube and one of the candidates I had never heard of was Ron Paul. What I learned was that Ron Paul is running as a Republican candidate for President of the United States of America. Ron Paul did …

Congressman Ron Paul is a rare voice of reason in politics today. He believes we should follow the Constitution and never give up liberty for security. He is running for President and he know that if you give up liberty for security you will be left with neither. He …

I hope I don’t sound too cynical, but while I think that elections in Iraq and building their own government are good steps, considering other news that is going on in the Iraqi front I have to be a little bit less than pleased.
As time goes on, we see …

Every time I see Joseph Estrada’s campaign ads on TV I could not help but feel sorry for this man. I believe he is not going to win this election anyway so I wonder why he seemed to have the false hope that he still has the Erap magic. …

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. …

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 …

When Mar Roxas topped the list of was elected Senators in 2004 national election, his votes was remarkably higher than all other candidates in the history of Philippine election. This man who came from a family of politicians has one magic that led him on …

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 …

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, …

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 …

Senator Ramon, “Bong” Revilla, Jr. is seeking re-election as Senator for 2010 Philippine National Election. Survey says he is now leading the senatorial slate.
Well now I believe that popularity is one way to win an election. I’ve read the resume of Senator Bong Revilla but despite the long list …

The point that Senator Barack Obama lacks the necessary experience to act as Commander in Chief is quite irrelevant.
Senator Obama has rightly pointed out that in spite of their huge political experiences with their impressive curriculum vitae, people such as Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Hillary Clinton wrongfully engaged the …

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 …

Swept to power after the Liberal Party’s implosion over the Sponsorship Scandal, the Conservatives have mismanaged Canada far more critically than the Liberals ever did.
The Conservative Party is far more corrupt than the Liberals were ever, as shown in the Chuck Cadman scandal. Cadman was an MP from British …

When I hear the name Fred Thompson I automatically think of the role he played on a tv sitcom show for many years. He has a certain quality about him that makes him look more presidential than most of the other candidates that are running in the 2008 race …

To be honest, I am a foreigner from the Philippines to be exact that followed the U.S. election from the start. I believe that the election affects the whole world and people from other countries should learn more about it.
If I am a U.S. citizen, I would choose …

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 …

This guy is not fit to be our President! He has only two years of Senatorial experience and no executive experience. He has no military experience so how’s he supposed to be Commander in Chief. He claims he’s a Christian but has a racist pastor who …

Even the best of intentions can often go so badly people end up hating you. I think that’s what George W. Bush is facing in his final term as president.
I really believe every one of his policies have been with the best interests of the American people in mind, …

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 just watched the Vice Presidential debate. It was the first time since her nomination speech that I have seen her in action and there is one word that describes her for me in a presidential capacity. SCARY.
If McCain gets in the White House and IF (God forbid) something …

John McCain is a current senator and he was the Republican Nominee for president in 2008. He has changed his positions a lot recently but I believe that he has been a wonderful senator. He went against his own party’s leadership a lot when he felt it …

The general election in India is just going to happen. This election may also provide some staggering results as the last one. But one thing that is clear that election has helped in raising the stature of Lal Krishna Advani. Advani is the Prime Minister Candidate of NDA.
Advani has …

She is just a small person, I haven’t seen her in person, but she is very visible at eyes of the media. So far, in my entire 21 years of life as a Filipino, she’s one of the most controversial President that I have ever seen. Almost …

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 …

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 …

How can John Howard, Prime Minister of Australia, live in Sydney, work in Canberra and retain his leadership creditability? I think creditability comes with minimisation of expenses, especially large expenses. The Opposition claim John Howard has spent $18.4 million the way he lives since attaining government in 1996. He …

Last year the French people decided to elect Nicolas Sarkozy as their new president. Mr. Sarkozy is indeed a highly competent and able leader. However he lacks some diplomacy and he is hot tempered. What I mean by that? He gets a go at everyone who vexes him. Not …

After almost a decade of Bush bashing, it would make sense that the Democrats would take power in Washington. Bush was “teh evulz” so obviously Republicans weren’t fit to serve. So we got a liberal president with a liberal congress.
What has the change brought us? Well, …

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 …

Mike Gravel is a very good man. He is running for President and he is a man of honor and principle. Mike Gravel is the man who was responsible for getting rid of the draft in the U.S. He is very brave and works hard for the people of the …
