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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

I don’t consider myself to be a staunch Bush supporter but I did support him during his first term. He became president after being governor of Texas. During his last term and when he left office he was very unpopular. I believe that he …

Mitt Romney is a former Governor from Massachussetts and although he has not announced yet he is expected to be a candidate for president for 2012. I believe that he is a great person but I just don’t believe that he’s the right guy to run …

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 …

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, …

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 …

Barack Obama is a very smart young man. He is an expert on Constitutional Law and heaven knows that is an important skill. The things he has to contend with are his lack of experience and saying that those who are 50 or older are not forward looking enough …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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, …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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. …

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. …

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 …

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 …

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. …

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 …

I’ve been reading awhile on the internet and I’ve seen a few people mention how they feel Senator Barack Obama is not fit to be President of the United States. Well, I feel different. I feel we need a change from the “norm” so to speak. There’s no such …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 late President Cory Aquino has never really charmed me. When she was the President after the dictatorial leadership of Ferdinand Marcos, I was really hopeful this woman could bring in something remarkable to the Philippine government.
However, I was disappointed to see a weak President on her. Obviously, this …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The past fifteen days or so have been quite extraordinary in US politics with Barak Obama scoring victories in quick succession, one after another in various primaries, finally managing a thin lead over Hillary Clinton in terms of number of delegates. On the face of it, this development would …

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 …

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 …
