President Barak Obama
OK, I’m going to be fair about this and will start out by saying I know he’s only been president for a couple of weeks so giving him a grade this early into his president (before his first 100 days are even up) is jumping the gun a bit.
And, …
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 …
Iraq War
I used to call myself a republican but not anymore. I feel as if the republicans and democrats are basically the same any more with the exception of a few things minor differences. I have been let down over the last six years by our current president George W. …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
FEMA
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 …
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 …
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. …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Justice Secretary Leila de Lima
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 …
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 …
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 …
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
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 …
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 …
H.M.Soeharto
Soeharto is President of Indonesia for around 32 years and currently had passed away at 86 years old with pros and cons whether he has to be remembered as a hero or a criminal.
As I know, Soeharto is a son of a farmer and irrigation officer who decided to …
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 …
Communist Politics in West Bengal
it’s pitious that some young friends still believe that a communist party may be good for civilisation and i know they have no experience of living in west bengal.i am the wretched one and as i born and brought up here in west bengal ,i have the ill luck …
The Democratic Party
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 …
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 …
Noynoy Aquino
Noynoy Aquino has a possibility to run as president in the next year’s election in the Philippines. I think I will not vote for Manny Villar no more because for me Noynoy Aquino is more capable as well as have the heart for filipinos like her mother the former …
Sen. Barack Obama
I am pretty sure that it’s not just America who’s been bracing for the November 2008 Presidential Elections, because even me who does not live in US is very anxious of the outcome of this Democrat nomination. I have been reading news, articles, and blogs on the different …
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 …
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 …
Bush Adminastration
the other day i watched a documentary film called fahrenheit 9/11.it was shocking to see what bush did in his earlier years before he was elected president.that is to say if what michael moore says is true.
im not saying what bust did in iraq was right,also what they did …
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 …

Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla, Jr.
Senator Ramon, “Bong” Revilla, Jr. is seeking re-election as Senator for 2010 Philippine National Election. Survey says he is now leading the senatorial slate.
Well now I believe that popularity is one way to win an election. I’ve read the resume of Senator Bong Revilla but despite the long list …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Fred Thompson the canidate of the people
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 …
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 …
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 …
Cory C, Aquino, the late President of the Republic of the Philippines
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 …
Mike Gravel
Mike Gravel is a very good man. He is running for President and he is a man of honor and principle. Mike Gravel is the man who was responsible for getting rid of the draft in the U.S. He is very brave and works hard for the people of the …
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 …
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 …
Hillary Clinton
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 …
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 …
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. …
