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 …
Presidency
I find that I am frequently upset when I hear about people bashing our Presidents. It would be virtually impossible for one man to meet the needs of each individual person, and one way or the other, some individual, or group is always going to be upset about …
Congresswoman Bachmann
Michelle Bachman is a congresswoman from Minnesota and she is expected to announce that she’s running for the Republican nomination for president. I don’t believe that she should run for president. Even if she runs I don’t believe she has any chance of winning. …
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 …
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 …
MAMATA BANERJEE- The HONEST Politician
Trinamool Congress is the prime opposition party of the state WEST BENGAL. The chairperson, MAMATA BANERJEE is probably the most popular leader of WEST BENGAL. Her honesty is the secret of her popularity. Sounds unbelievable? Please read the review and discover a political leader with HONESTY. Ms. Banerjee was …
Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney
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 …
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 …
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 …
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, …
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 congress
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, …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Manny Villar’s Way
Philippine businesses and people don’t really spend much time and effort in creating their websites and it does surprise me that I see a person, well a politician’s website so well maintained and created for most certainly a purpose - to give information and drive its campaign to Filipino …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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, …
Nicolas Sarkozy
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 …
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 …
Barack Obama
I really think that in the wake of some history being made, the first black president to be elected in the United States, the whole world is headed towards a revised way of thinking.
I am particularly awestruck that Obama was ultimately voted in as US president simply because of …
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 …
George Bush
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 …
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 …
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. …
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 …
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 …
Barack Obama Campaign
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 …
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 …
Presidential Candidate Barack Obama
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 …
Philippine Senate President Manuel Villar
Last, after eating dinner, I was watching television and it was on ABS-CBN Channel 15, then while I was watching I saw this advertisement from Senate President Manuel Villar, he was campaign for something like helping abused overseas Filipino workers to get back home immediately. Well, I was …
Barack Obama
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 …
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 …
McNairy County Elections
For those of you who don’t know it, McNairy County is Walking Tall country. Between Buford Pusser, Tommy Riley, and Mary Winkler, our county has had more media here in the past year than most rural counties get in 10. Being in the media’s spotlight has revealed …
Ed Miliband (politican)
Ed Miliband is the leader of the Labour Party, the main opposition party in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. He was elected in September 2010 after a voting process lasting several months which was based on a three-cornered electorate made up of affiliated union members, Labour MPs and …
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 …
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, …
Manny Villar
I am not a person who love watching news about politics. Next year, here in the Philippines, we will elect again a new president and I admit I don’t have a politician in mind that I will vote for president aside from Manny Villar.
I don’t know Manny Villar …
The Republican Party
I consider myself to be mainly an independent when it comes to politics. I agree with the Republicans on a lot of issues but thre are also some issues that I don’t approve of them on. I believe they did a good job of winning back the …
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 …
