As a youngster I am not really interested in politics, but the recent activities, including the election of Barack Obama, have caught my attention a bit.
Whilst there is a positive spin on the political front in the USA, it’s a completely different state of affairs in the Republic of …

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 …

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 …

However, after recent flooding here, I got to experience FEMA first hand and, after doing so, I have to admit they …

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, …

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.

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.

We finally have a new President. I feel like President Obama has the abilities to make some great changes for our nation. I normally don’t get involved in politics, but I have been disappointed in the way the last eight years have been handled for out country. To say …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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. …

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 …

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 …

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 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. …

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.

There is one breath of fresh air in Philippine politics these days. After being disappointed with the appointments of the newly-elected president, my faith was restored to the appointment of Atty. Leila de Lima, former head of the Commission on Human Rights, as the Secretary of Justice.
Sec. De Lima …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

I remember during the election almost everyone hailed Barack Obama as THE guy for the job. He was smart, articulate, charismatic, and he had a plan for change. He brought a message of hope and promised to bring both sides together to end the partisan bickering that …

With 23 months left in President Bush’s final term, the “Scooter” Libby trial will likely have no consequences for his administration. The daily events of the trial will certainly make headlines, and there will be accusations from the Left and denials from the Right. But in the end, the …

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 …

George W. Bush isn’t just stupid - he’s evil. Not only did he completely botch the federal response to Hurrican Katrina, but he led us to war on a pack of lies. Furthermore, the web of corruption that has been built on top of Washington by Bush and his …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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.

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 …

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 …

I can’t say I agree with many of the policies implemented by the Republicans while George Bush has been in office, but I don’t think I’ll be voting for a Democrat anytime soon either.
The problem with the Democratic party is they really aren’t that different than the Republicans and …

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. …

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 …

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 …

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 …
