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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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. …

See, this is the thing…..I work hard, pay taxes, abide the law and contribute to society, yet I don’t have the same rights that a convicted murder has! How does that happen in America? Isn’t this country founded on equality and the rights for all to …

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. …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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, …

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 …

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 …

Stephen Harper became Canada’s new Prime Minister this past February. Now Canada has a Conservative party in charge instead of a Liberal one.

For long years, I’ve been working Makati City and through it all I’ve been observing how this place prospered. Indeed, as I’ve observed the mayor of the city, Jeojomar Binay has been an effective leader. He was able to bring Makati into its prosperous stage as it is …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

I would not support Manny Villar in this upcoming presidential polls. The reason merely because he is a corrupt individual. I find his coy demeanor in acknowledging the allegation in the C5 road controversy an acceptance of guilt.
I hope people won’t be befuddled by his constant cry that …

Congressman Ron Paul is a rare voice of reason in politics today. He believes we should follow the Constitution and never give up liberty for security. He is running for President and he know that if you give up liberty for security you will be left with neither. He …

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 …

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 …

I really don’t like how the political news is broadcast today, it seems to be more about entertainment and opinions, rather than real news. I tried watching FOX news but it was so slanted towards the right, it seemed phony and unreal, I watch MSNBC mostly because they …

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 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 government of India nowadays is ruling by the UPA (united progressive alliance). UPA is a coalition of many parties including The National Congress and The Communist Party of India (Marxist). It is the most unbelievable alliance of leftist and rightist. The CPIM party also ruling a state government, …

During the years that George W. Bush was President, a lot of hyperbolic rhetoric was thrown around. People said that he was the worst president in the history of the country, they called him a liar, a war monger, comparisons to Adolf Hitler were made, and some even …

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 …

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 …

You may have heard of Newt Gingrich, You may have not. Newt Gingrich was a former Republican Speaker of the House. Back then, He was a praised Representative. I myself agreed with his actions. He enjoyed collaborating with both parties. He was a great man back then. So? What’s …

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 …

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.

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 …

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 …

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 …

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, …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The Senate President JUAN PONCE ENRILE is seeking for re-election. I could not help but be quite amazed how this 86 years old man is seems to be still strong and could still manage another six year term in the Senate. Well I find nothing wrong with an aged man …

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 …
