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 …

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 …

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 …

If I would be asked to enumerate what benefits do I get from the government, one on the top of my list would be the Free Computer Literacy Program of the Provincial government of Cavite implemented at Cavite Computer Center (CCC).
CCC is an extension office of the Office of …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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. …

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 …

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’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 …

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 …

If Gilbert Teodoro is not running for President, then the Presidential candidate that I would most likely vote this May of 2010 is no other than Dick Gordon. Not to mention his other accomplishments which I am not really so exposed about, the first thing that made me he …

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 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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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.
The Conservative Party is far more corrupt than the Liberals were ever, as shown in the Chuck Cadman scandal. Cadman was an MP from British …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

So, Wyoming decided that they wanted to be a bigger player in Presidential politics, so they decided to move up their Republican caucuses. They figured, hey, if we have an early caucus, that means that everyone will pay attention to us, right? Or something like that.
I have …

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 …

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 …

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 …

I never used to care about politics until I joined the Army. This year in particular I have been following most of the candidates for both the Republicans and Democrats. The more I hear about Barack Obama the less impressed I am with the idea that he might get …

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, …

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 …
