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 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 …

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 …

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, …

When I first learned that Manny Villar would run for President I thought he would be my candidate. Well after all, he seemed to be an honorable man. He served as Senate President for sometime and he in fairness have performed quite well. I also like his seemingly amiable …

Newt Gingrich just announced that he is running for president as a Republican. He was the former speaker of the house. I do feel as if he did a lot for the Republican party but I don’t believe that he is the right choice for …

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 …

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. …

Last Monday at the Philippine Life Insurance Congress, I was fortunate enough to have listened to the talk of Senator Manny Villar as he is one of our Guest Speaker.

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 …

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 …

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 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 …

You may have heard of Newt Gingrich, You may have not. Newt Gingrich was a former Republican Speaker of the House. Back then, He was a praised Representative. I myself agreed with his actions. He enjoyed collaborating with both parties. He was a great man back then. So? What’s …

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.

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 …

Senator Ramon, “Bong” Revilla, Jr. is seeking re-election as Senator for 2010 Philippine National Election. Survey says he is now leading the senatorial slate.
Well now I believe that popularity is one way to win an election. I’ve read the resume of Senator Bong Revilla but despite the long list …

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 …

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. …

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. …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 realise, as any person of experience and virtue will tell you, that in evaluating another person, fairness and humility are attributes we should normally embrace. There is a time for fairness and humility, although when you are lying in the road spread-eagled after a drunk has run you …

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 …

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 …

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 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 …

I was shocked to hear the name of Edu Manzano was chosen as the administration candidate for Vice-President. How can this movie actor and host become their choice. What is their basis? It is popularity? How could they ignore Bayani Fernando’s remarkable achievement in favor of Edu Manzano whose …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

From one of the most talked-about political races in this nation’s history comes a candidate who truly has shaken up the world: Barack Obama. People love the man for his oratory skills. They love him for his views on the Iraq war. And truly, …

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 …

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. …

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 …
