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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Benigno Aquino III or Noynoy as he is more fondly called made a very big entrance into the 2010 Philippine Presidential list of Presidential candidates last year. This man obviously never really dreamed to become a President but he was finally convinced by the strong persuasive power of people …

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 …

Gilbert Teodoro or Gibo for short has seemed to overcome my choosy heart. Well this is as far as choosing the right Presidential candidate for the Philippines 2010 election is concerned. Honestly, I never really think I would choose Gibo. In the first place, I did not even …

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. …

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. …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Bayani Fernando is my Vice-President for this 2010 Philippine National Election. Actually I was also rooting for his presidential bid until he lost the opportunity to become Administration Standard Bearer to Gilbert Teodoro.
Now what made me choose this man to be my Vice-President? Well this man is a transformer. …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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, …

Loren Legarda could have been my bet for Vice-President this coming May 10, 2010 Philippine National Election if only she did not become a political opportunist. Remember her sudden defection to Joseph Estrada’s camp during the last national election. She was the running mate of Fernando Poe Jr. but …

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 …

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 …

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 little knowledge when it comes to politics and how we actually run our goverment. I know we leave it in the hands of people who seem to become increasingly richer every second. If we let McCain have the presidency a great majority of the people will …

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 …

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 …

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, …

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. …

Senator Manny Villar is one of the most controversial Senators of the Philippines now. Not only because he is seeking the presidency in the forthcoming 2010 national elections but because of the hullabaloo on the C-5 road in Las Piñas.
I used to admire Senator Villar for his accomplishments …

I think that George W. Bush was the worst president of all time in the United States of America. He left office with the lowest approval rating in history at 21% due to his failed policies that tanked our economy and left the United States in a deficit 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 …

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 …

Every time I see Joseph Estrada’s campaign ads on TV I could not help but feel sorry for this man. I believe he is not going to win this election anyway so I wonder why he seemed to have the false hope that he still has the Erap magic. …

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 …

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 …

The general election in India is just going to happen. This election may also provide some staggering results as the last one. But one thing that is clear that election has helped in raising the stature of Lal Krishna Advani. Advani is the Prime Minister Candidate of NDA.
Advani has …

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. …

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 …

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 …

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. …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
