Rudy Giuliani
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. …
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 …
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 …
Pres. Gloria Macapagal - Arroyo
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 …
Joseph Estrada, Presidential Candidate
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. …
George W. Bush
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 …
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.

Barack Obama
There are a couple of reviews on this site expounding upon how moral and honest Barack Obama is, etcetera etcetera. However, if you closely examine him he doesn’t look so sunshine perfect. I urge you to look closer at his policies and seriously questioning …
George W. Bush
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 …
The Iraqi Democracy Process
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 …
ANC (African National Congress)
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 …
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.

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 …
Obama’s Fuzzy Portrait (CNN feature)
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 …
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 …
Sarah Palin
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
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 …
George W.Bush
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Juan Ponce Enrile
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 …
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, …
Ralph Recto, Youngest Senator in the Philippine 12th Congress
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 …
President Obama
We finally have a new President. I feel like President Obama has the abilities to make some great changes for our nation. I normally don’t get involved in politics, but I have been disappointed in the way the last eight years have been handled for out country. To say …
Barack Obama
I think that so far during his presidency that Barack Obama is doing a wonderful job running this country compared to the previous president, George W. Bush. I voted for Obama knowing that a positive change would be occuring in this country as well as around the whole world. …
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 …
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 …
Barack Obama
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 …
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 …
Manny Villar
I am not a person who love watching news about politics. Next year, here in the Philippines, we will elect again a new president and I admit I don’t have a politician in mind that I will vote for president aside from Manny Villar.
I don’t know Manny Villar …
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 …
Socialist Alliance
I became a member of the Socialist Alliance because I believed that this was a political organization which valued human rights and equality while being different to the major ‘mainstream’ parties.
I gave up my involvement due to what I saw as elitism, unrealistic expectations and the failure to focus …
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. …
The Scooter Libby Trial
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 …
Conservative Party of Canada
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 …

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 …
Hillary Clinton Supports a One World Government
Hillary Clinton talks a lot about Universal Health care and other plans she has. But she is not being honest with her fans. I don’t know why she hides things from the people. It seems she is trying to trick people into trusting her. She has secretly attended the Bilderberg …
