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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 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. …

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 …

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 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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 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 …

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 …

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. …

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 …

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, …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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, …

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 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 …

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 …

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. …

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 …

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 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 …

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. …

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 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 …

I think that senator named Barack Obama should become our next president. The end of the War in Iraq would only be for the best. It’s very said and horrible to see american soldiers dying on TV. It’s also horrible to know that their families are horrified by the …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

To be honest, I am a foreigner from the Philippines to be exact that followed the U.S. election from the start. I believe that the election affects the whole world and people from other countries should learn more about it.
If I am a U.S. citizen, I would choose …
