Juan Ponce Enrile
The Senate President JUAN PONCE ENRILE is seeking for re-election. I could not help but be quite amazed how this 86 years old man is seems to be still strong and could still manage another six year term in the Senate. Well I find nothing wrong with an aged man …
Obama’s Inauguration Speech
I had an opportunity to listen to President Obama’s speech today and would rate it a 6 out of 10. Perhaps my expectations were too high, he delivered a rousing speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention as well as when he accepted his own nomination as Democratic …
New Mexico Senators
Domenici serves on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Senate Appropriations Committee, Budget Committee, Indian Affairs Committee, and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

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 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. …
Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
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 …
Republican Iraq Withdrawal Plan
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 …
Democratic Primaries
I am not a Democrat. I have never been a Democrat and quite frankly I expect that I will never be a Democrat. That said, it has been with great interest that I have been watching the Democratic primaries this 2008 election cycle. Admittedly I am …
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 …
Free Computer Literacy Program
If I would be asked to enumerate what benefits do I get from the government, one on the top of my list would be the Free Computer Literacy Program of the Provincial government of Cavite implemented at Cavite Computer Center (CCC).
CCC is an extension office of the Office of …
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 …
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. …
George W. Bush
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, …
US Government’s Failure to Help New Orleans Rebuild after Katrina
I am outraged that the U.S. Government under the Bush Administration has failed to provide enough adequate funding in order to restore and rebuild the cities of New Orleans devastated by Katrina. I am amazed at how the U.S. Gov’t managed to finance millions of dollars to finance the …
Senator Manny Villar
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.
I used to admire Senator Villar for his accomplishments …
Sarah Palin
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 …
Sarah Palin
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 …
Mike Gravel
You know, I just can’t keep myself from liking Mike Gravel. Sure, I disagree with a lot of his politics, but he seems to be the only Democrat in the race for the President this year that has any real integrity. He is very intelligent, has a …
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 …
Ron Paul
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 …
George W. Bush
During the years that George W. Bush was President, a lot of hyperbolic rhetoric was thrown around. People said that he was the worst president in the history of the country, they called him a liar, a war monger, comparisons to Adolf Hitler were made, and some even …
Joseph Estrada, Presidential Candidate
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. …
Rudy Giuliani
Rudy Giuliani is slipping in the polls. All of the polls and now he is doing what he said he would not do and campaigning in the states with the earliest caucuses and primaries, but have the lowest number of delegates. His original game plan was to focus …
Barack Obama
All of you think for your selfs,I’m careful to jump into this think tank,seeing your very savvy. Barack Obama indeed is a very scary candidate and I wish the under thirty group and the black voter would truly do research on Obama. Obama is coming off as being a …
The Wyoming Caucuses
So, Wyoming decided that they wanted to be a bigger player in Presidential politics, so they decided to move up their Republican caucuses. They figured, hey, if we have an early caucus, that means that everyone will pay attention to us, right? Or something like that.
I have …
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 …
Prime Minister Stephen Harpers child bonus plan
Stephen Harper became Canada’s new Prime Minister this past February. Now Canada has a Conservative party in charge instead of a Liberal one.
Stephen Harper has great plans for the children of Canada. Mr. Harper intends this June 2006 to give each family with a child under the age of …
Bush’s Secret Eavesdropping on Americans
Ok, now Bush has really done it. He’s gone too far. Flagrantly violating the Constitution by ordering the use of illegal wiretaps goodness knows how many times. Even conservatives are in an uproar. Almost nobody is going to stand for this.
But here’s the thing. …
President Gloria Macapal Arroyo’s 2009 State of the Nation Address
The other day everybody was glued to the tube for the most awaited State of the Nation Address (SONA) of the President of the Republic of the Philippines Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. I applaud the people responsible who drafted the speech. The President was exemplary in her delivery that it …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Senator Obama
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 …
Sen. Barack Obama (D- Presidential Candidate)
From one of the most talked-about political races in this nation’s history comes a candidate who truly has shaken up the world: Barack Obama. People love the man for his oratory skills. They love him for his views on the Iraq war. And truly, …
Barack Obama
I think that senator named Barack Obama should become our next president. The end of the War in Iraq would only be for the best. It’s very said and horrible to see american soldiers dying on TV. It’s also horrible to know that their families are horrified by the …
Former President Corazon Aquino of the Philippines
Former President Corazon Aquino was the first female president of the Republic of the Philippines. She rose into the presidency in 1986 after people power ousted the dictator Ferdinand Marcos, it was a peaceful transition of power and democracy restored in our land, because of that incident, President Aquino …
Barack Obama
There are a couple of reviews on this site expounding upon how moral and honest Barack Obama is, etcetera etcetera. However, if you closely examine him he doesn’t look so sunshine perfect. I urge you to look closer at his policies and seriously questioning …
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 …
The Iraqi Democracy Process
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 …
Conservative Party of Canada
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
