Jim Doyle
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 …

I live in south-africa,and the problem is zimbabwe previouslly known as rhodesie.what really bugs me is that every person around the world believes that what going on in zimbabwe is happening in south africa.Take south-africa\’s economy,if robert mugabe (president of zimbabwe) does something that no one likes,which is usually …
Cory Aquino
Cory Aquino is one of the Filipino Political Figure I look up to, she’s very simple, humble, generous, religious and a lot more you could ever imagine of what a good person is. I really salute her for being such a good example of a person who never give …

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 …
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 …
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 …

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 …
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 …
The Dylan Ratigan Show On MSNBC
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 …
John McCain
So this is the guy that the Republicans have picked to be president. Out of all the candidates who were running under the Republican banner this winter, the Republicans decided as a group that, hey, maybe John McCain would be a good pick! And so it turned …
Pres Ronald Reagan
I do a lot of research on previous presidents and I have done a lot of studying on Ronald Reagan. I believe that he was one of the best presidents in history. He served two terms in office from 1981-1989. He was re -elected both …
Hillary Clinton for President?
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 …
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 …
Prime Minister Stephen Harpers child bonus plan
Stephen Harper became Canada’s new Prime Minister this past February. Now Canada has a Conservative party in charge instead of a Liberal one.
Stephen Harper has great plans for the children of Canada. Mr. Harper intends this June 2006 to give each family with a child under the age of …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Mar Roxas Commercial
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 …
Barack Obama
It truly shows the growth of The United States that finally a black man has become the figure head of the world’s last standing superpower.
As a Canadian, every action the US makes affects us. Whether that is a decision to invade the middle east to seek out pretend weapons …
Manny Villar
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 …
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’s Secret Eavesdropping on Americans
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. …
General Elections in India
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 …
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 …
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 …
Ron Paul
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 …
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 …
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, …
City Councilors of Dumaguete City
As a taxpayer, I believe I ought to make this review.
Just yesterday, the City Councilors office of Dumaguete City proposed and has given approval to appropriate an amount of P300,000 ($7,500)to buy their individual N82 cellular phones. Accordingly, the purpose of which is to improve public …
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, …
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 …
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 …
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. …
President Obama
President Obama is a great president. I think that his intentions are good and that he is a real strong fighter and doesn’t give up easily, just look at the current healthcare issue; he is not giving up on it. I think it is cool that president Obama does …
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono
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 …
Bill Clinton
I bleive we should have impeached Bill Clinton when he was president. I think he is partially the blame for the crisis in the Middle East. When he was president he cut our military to where we do not have enough soldiers left to fight a war the right …
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 …
Democratic Party:What a Joke
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. …
Anarchists
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 …
Government vs. TV Network
There is always a conflict or a feud as what they say between Media and the Government. Perhaps, Media itself just want to let out all the information they know to the public but as of this moment in the Country named Philippines is quite different and reversed.
I am …
Obama’s Inauguration Speech
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 …
Senator Obama
The point that Senator Barack Obama lacks the necessary experience to act as Commander in Chief is quite irrelevant.
Senator Obama has rightly pointed out that in spite of their huge political experiences with their impressive curriculum vitae, people such as Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Hillary Clinton wrongfully engaged the …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Hillary Clinton for President?
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 …
Judge Samuel Alito
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 …
