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. …
Oscar Goodman
I realise, as any person of experience and virtue will tell you, that in evaluating another person, fairness and humility are attributes we should normally embrace. There is a time for fairness and humility, although when you are lying in the road spread-eagled after a drunk has run you …
Barack Obama
When candidates first started announcing their intentions to run for the office of the President of the United States, I will admit that I was not enthused about candidates from either party. Like a lot of Americans, I was tired of the same old over-inflated promises that politicians …
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 …
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 …
Republican Presidential Candidate Newt Gingrich
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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. …
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. …
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 …
Judge Samuel Alito
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 …
Lal Krishna Advani
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 …
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 …
Election 2006 Singapore
Singapore, being a small country, generally dosen’t have vast groups of political entities. In fact, there are only 4 notable ones, namely the People Action Party (PAP), the Workers’ Party (WP), Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) and the Singapore Democratic Alliances (SDA).
PAP is the currently ruling party and they always …
Gilbert Teodoro
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 …
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 …
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. …
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 …
Senator John McCain
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 …
Barack Obama
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 …
Communist Politics in West Bengal

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 …
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 …
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 …
General Elections in India
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 …
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 …
Hillary Clinton for President?
In reviewing Hillary Clinton, in terms of her intelligence and ability, I would have to say that she is certainly a brilliant person, with a lot of ideas on how she believes the country needs to be run, but you have to wonder what the reasons have been that …
Ron Paul Campaign
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 …
John McCain
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 …
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 …
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. Interest groups that may support this senator are environmentalists (those who may want to protect natural resources), and people from Indian tribes. Some people that …
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 …
Ron Paul For President
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 …
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 …
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 …
Rudy Giuliani
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. …
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 …
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 …
Manny Villar
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 …
Senator John McCain
John McCain is not only an American Hero, but he is also the best candidate for the presidency. His voting record, support of the environment, and popularity in the United States shows that he is best for the job of United States President. His leadership skills are …
David Miliband (politician)
David Miliband is the older brother of the current leader of the United Kingdom’s opposition Labour Party, Ed Miliband. Up until very recently it was David who was expected by most people to have the more significant political career, especially as he had already served at a high level …

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 …
