May kumakalat na text joke na nasa Amerika na raw si Garcillano. Siyempre naman naala-ala nyo pa si Virgilio Garcillano, yung phone pal ni Gloria Arroyo sa “Hello Garci” tapes.
Sinasabi sa joke, inimport raw ni John Mc Cain ng Republican party si Garcillano dahil lahat na surveys lumalabas, lamang si Barack Obama ng Democrats. Kayang-kaya ayusin yan ni Garcillano.
Kaya kapag manalo si Mc Cain sa eleksyon na gaganapin ngayong araw, alam nyo na kung sino ang may kagagawan.
Meron pang isang joke tungkol sa galing ng Pinoy sa eleksyon.
Pinagyayabang daw ng mga Amerikano na ilang oras lang magsara ang mga presinto sa kanila, malalaman na kung sino ang panalo. Sabi ng Pinoy, wala yan.
Sabi ng Amerikano, bakit, sa iyo nga linggo o buwan bago malaman kung sino ang panalo. Paano naman magiging mas magaling ang eleksyon nyo kaysa sa amin.
Sabi ng Pinoy, “Hindi ah. Sa Malacañang ni Gloria Arroyo, hindi pa nagsimula ang botohan, alam na kung ilang milyon ang lamang ni Ma’am.”
Oon nga naman. Di ba narinig nating sa “Hello Garci” tapes, pinipilit ni Arroyo kay Garcillano na siguraduhin ang kanyang lamang na isang milyon. Kaya tuloy pati ang mga pati ang mga pusa at aso, pumirma doon sa pekeng certificate of canvass. Sa Cebu, walang namatay at walang pumunta sa abroad, kung paniwalaan mo ang bumoto. Halos lahat na nasa voters list na 30 taon na ginawa, bumuto ang 90 porsiyento. Ganyan ka galing ang Pinoy sa dayaan sa eleksyon.
Inaabangan ng buong mundo ang eleksyon ngayon sa Amerika dahil kung totoo ang lumalabas sa halos lahat na mga surveys, sa una-unang pagkakataon, magkakaroon ng itim na presidente ang Amerika.
Malaking bagay ito dahil sa kasaysayan ng Amerika, ilang daang taong inapi ang mga itim. Ang una-unang mga itim na dumating sa Amerika ay mga alipin galing sa Africa. Marami ang namatay sa pakikipaglaban ng kanilang karapatan na mabuhay dito sa mundo kapantay ng mga puti at iba pang kulay.
Maiinit ang laban. Noong isang linggo may hinuli na dalawang puti na nagtangkang pumatay kay Obama. Sigurado maraming sira-ulo ang lalong magtatangka kapag manalo na si Obama.
Ngunit kung si Obama na nga ang nasa White House, napatunayan ng mga Amerikano ang lawak ng kanilang pag-iisip. Ito ay malaking bagay sa pagsulong sa buod ng kristyanismo na lahat na tao, ano man ang kulay ay pantay sa tingin ng Panginoon. Ito rin ang tunay na buod ng demokrasya.
Ang mga Amerikano ay klaro sila sa pag-alaga ng kanilang interes. Pero hindi naman sana sa paraan na binabastos ang integridad ng ibang bansa katulad ng pinairal ni W. Bush na sinuportahan ng todo ni Gloria Arroyo.
Dapat talaga nating ipagdasal na manalo si Obama. Kahit papano affected din ang mga Pinoy lalo na ang mga nasa US. I asked our secretary (a White American lady) if she will vote this coming Tuesday and to my surprised she answered: ” I have already voted online a month ago! Our state allows us to do so.” And when I asked whom she had voted: She answered, “I voted for McCain!” Yes, folks: White race vs. the Colored one! The question for us Pinoys is: Where do WE belong? Don’t tell me …White!
Namatay ang Lola ni Obama..hindi niya maranasan ang ligaya ng victory of history. Nakakalungkot…
…Just wondering…will there be a Republic of Mindanao…
If there’s somebody who cared to watch the movie i referred to earlier, here’s the last part of it.
Those movies are so important from my point of view. I hope you’ll consider it the same way.
Ellen,
Let me congratulate my fave General Danny Lim for setting up a blog, meron na akong mapapasyalan ng madalas bukod sa Ellenville. (I had difficulty logging in from where I was during the last few days.)
I enjoyed reading Aika’s entry, at the same time I felt sad thinking that for as long as Gloria remains in control of the few AFP members, the good General and the remaining Magdalo will suffer more in prison. Same with the Tanay boys.
Mabuhay General Danny Lim!
Chi, there’s a “comments” section there. You may post your message for him there.
The administrator asks for your patience because the site, he said, is still “a work in progress.”
Pinaghahanda-an na raw ng itim na pintura sa White House. But fair naman dahil hati ang white, at hati ang black. Gagawin stripes. Tawag ay Black & White House.
Hindi pa nakakasiguro ng panalo si Obama.May tulog siya sa undecided voters mas malamang kay Mc Cain sila.
“White race vs. the Colored one! The question for us Pinoys is: Where do WE belong? Don’t tell me …White!” Why not look deep in your heart and search your conscience, ask yourself, what candidate with such courage and wisdom can best serve the country. And go beyond the men’s color of skin, but judge such men’s character. For a moment, forget that you’re Pilipino in the Philippines. It’s not about you and what’s best for you, but the country as a whole. This what makes America the greatest country on earth, the people. Make the right choice!
Hati-hati ang mga pinoy kung sino ang iboboto nila.Half-half daw sabi ng kumpare ko kaya kahit na sino man ang manalo kina Obama at Mc Cain ay mahihirapan pang aabot ang telegrama nating mga Pinoy sa White House.Hindi nagkaisa ang Pinoy na iboto si Obama o si Mc Cain.Same as usual uli ang trato ng America sa Pilipinas.Kahit na sino pa ang presidente ng Pilipinas.Same old story.
Bangungot kay Obama ang pagiging popular niya.Sure nakakasiguro siya na panalo siya sa popular vote pero matatalo siya sa electoral votes.
Nangunguna si Obama sa survey at humahabol si Mc Cain.Pero habang palapit na ng palapit ang election ay dumidikit si Mc Cain at parang nauubusan na ng gasolina si Obama.Parang bibigay ang Virginia,Florida,Ohio and Pennsylvania kay Mc Cain at kapag nakuha ni Mc Cain iyan ay talo si Obama.
I repeat what I said in the previous post:
Cocoy, Chi, Rose, your comments this date induced me to break my silence on the US 2008 elections. Among the flood of opinions in Ellenville, yours were the rare sentiments that touched on Pinoyland, particularly Mindanao. Just as Cocoy fears there is more than a hint that an Obama presidency will make an unneeded change: an America that turns inwards – laissez faire, noninterference in the affairs of others. I prefer being dominated by Yankees rather than Chinks.

….That’s a good idea, Val. I’m sure our Black & White Movement led by Leah Navarro would like to see a Black & White House. Obama is white and Biden is white; so the two would be at the Whitehouse.
….Obama not sure because of undecided voters? How many percent comprise the undecided voters? If Obama’s margin is 10%, does 5% of undecided voters matter? The margin might be small but it’s still Obama. His beloved grandma just passed away; and he might gets the sympathy of the undecided.
Correction please: Obama is Black and Biden is White.
To answer the question what would happen to the Philippines and Mindanao: US Foreign Policy would be basically the same.
She must continue to protect her business and military interests abroad. But Obama is more accepted by other countries. His charm, calm, friendly personality would be good for the world. There would be better global cooperation.
McCain is now leading my State Florida. Go McCain go. And It still not including my vote early tomorrow. 🙂
i’m voting here and click on statistics. My city Celebration, Florida is too Republican. We might win in a landslide 🙂

Obama is expected to win because of Acorn, the cheating machine of the DNC. Where do you think the DNC got their money? From the Arabs, after all Obama is one of them. McCain do not need Garcillano because McCain have integrity, honesty and truth in himself. In fact McCain is too honest that most Pinoys do not care for an honest man. They like someone they can identify with probably like the Arroyos. I know McCain he is a true patriot. It seems like in this day and age the more corrupt the person is the more he is popular which is very disturbing. This is an apparent cause of moral degeneration.
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
http://mav-equalizer.blogspot.com/2008/10/what-does-mccain-have-to-do-to-winask.html
What does McCain have to do to win?Ask Gloria!
i voted for Mccain and i believe he will win the presidency by getting the electoral votes needed. i have nothing against Obama but he is just an eloquent talker…empty promises.
Neonate: many years back while in high school I have heard it said by the older folks that the Muslims are bent to conquer the world..and in our current events we read about Sabah, etc. reading who the supporters were of Obama..nakakatakot..and I thought of the agreement that was almost signed in Malaysia..while it may seem far fetched ..lalakas ang laban nila to claim the island of Mindanao and the rest of the little islands…nakakatakot…
The contest is still a toss-up between McCain and Obama. Obama would probabaly win in the popularity vote but is not assured of a win in the electoral college vote. Don’t forget what happened to Al Gore in the 2000 elections.
what I am afraid most here in Jersey City is the rising of the noisy and rowdy blacks in the likes of Sharpton, etc.
The ones from Africa are not boisterous and rowdy like the ones born in the USA. Sa food pantry 75% of those who come are of those kind..galit pa at utang na loob mo pa na bigyan sila…the welfare system encourages tamadism..nakakatakot ang nag suporta kay Obama..maniningil ang mga iyan…and for us in the Phil? do you think Obama will be generous..seguro to his brothers..distribute of wealth kuno..nagdistribute na sila para sa campaign..but t they will collect with a high rate of interest…nakakatakot!
Every politician good or bad is an ambitious opportunist. In the case of Obama it is the ultimate distillation of identity politics: the idea of his being black. What’s more ingenious than playing to the conscience of Americans? What’s more opportune time than the present? He knew America’s guilt and it’s the right time for the country to make atonement for its past deeds. He is at the right place and at the right time and his salient physical characteristic may yet be his capital that will propel him to the top job as the most powerful man in the universe.
If Obama was white he would be characterized as a second rate senator without any impressive credentials. He is very good as a political organizer for his own advancement, but he still yet to identify a single uplifting intention to which he has remained constant if it has presented even the slightest risk to his advancements. He feels the pulse of the general public and says what they want to hear. He flip-flops in many occasions if it is good sound bytes to his listeners. He is the ultimate ambitious opportunist.
His campaigned is about change. What changes he would make has never been specifics. The only change we can see is wanting to change the presidency from a white man to a black man.
Both McCain and Obama, whoever wins is nakakatakot. Si McCain, we don’t know yet if he will still pursue Bush’s policy on war with “terrorist”. It is unfortunate that while we all abhor terrorism, so many innocent lives are wantonly killed. Syria and Pakistan was recently bombed by US military planes. ANd they are not sure if they hit their target or killed innocent civilians. It is not a remote possibility that they could do the same in Mindanao in pursuit of terrorist. Si Obama naman, well Rose pointed it out already.

To those who stated that the Iraqi war “is a mistake” as though that were fact and not just an opinion —
I have Iraqi and afghans friends living in America who are all so very grateful that the US stepped in and ended Saddam’s reign of terror. You speak of the tens of thousands of Iraqis killed in the war; what about the hundreds of thousands murdered by Saddam’s regime? And what about the terrorists being sheltered, supported, and trained in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Do you really think it’s just because the Muslim extremists had a major success on 9/11 that there haven’t been further attacks? I think this claim of the war being an “expensive mistake” is a very superficial and ill-thought-out conclusion. But then, it’s easiest to follow the crowd and criticize after the fact. Just be grateful that the current administration has been successful for 7 years in stopping further attacks upon a great USA where my children live. I have faith that Mr McCain’s administration will also be vigilant. I’m not so sure about an Obama administration.
Again if USA will be attack by a terrorist those economic plans whoever the president will be tossed up in a recycle bin.
Going into war with Iraq and in Afghanistan is a correct response after 9/11, but prolonging the war is not.
It is sad how many media outlets are so in the tank for Obama. This is not even funny anymore, because they do not even pretend to be fair anymore. I do not believe the various polls, as I think they are being twisted, people are afraid to say they like McCain(for fear of being called racist), people cannot put McCain signs up(because they will be stolen or their property vandalized), etc. Do you think these people will tell pollsters they like McCain? I doubt it.
Also do not know what the turnout will be.
I would like to know why Obama and Biden get free passes on all things, then the GOP side gets blasted all the time? Not fair coverage. When Obama said there are 57 states, Biden claimed there were TV’s in 1929 and picked the wrong President, where was this?
Obama plays all sides of each issue. He wants coal energy, then he doesn’t want it. Can’t people see this?
Can’t you see how he will cripple this economy and make us into a socialistic welfare state? His tax cut number was 250k, 200k, 150k, 120k, kept changing.
You are also judged by the people you pal around with, and it isn’t good for him.
What about the stories of people impersonating Hillary supporters who like Obama. The campaign is said to have people who do this, as well as praise Obama on websites and bash McCain.
The whole candidacy is all smoke and mirrors. If he does win, it will be funny to watch how mad the people get by what he does and does not do. Broken promises galore.
Americans will be on unemployment, too, as the tax increases will wipe out jobs.
You can not just pull out the troop in Iraq that quick.It need a contingency plan or else we are putting the lives of the soldiers in suicidal scenario.
John McCain declared that most American troops will be home from Iraq by 2013 and that Iraq will be a functioning democracy with only spasmodic episodes of violence, a striking departure from his refusal so far to set a date for U.S. withdrawal.
In a speech in the heart of Ohio, a major battleground state in the fall election, Mr. McCain set forth a sweeping, extraordinarily positive vision of what the world will look like 2013, when he says he will have been in the White House for four years.
“By January 2013, America has welcomed home most of the servicemen and women who have sacrificed terribly so that America might be secure in her freedom,’’ Mr. McCain said at the Columbus Convention Center. “The Iraq War has been won. Iraq is a functioning democracy, although still suffering from the lingering effects of decades of tyranny and centuries of sectarian tension. Violence still occurs, but it is spasmodic and much reduced.’’
McCain added, “maintains a military presence there, but a much smaller one, and it does not play a direct combat role.’’
During his primary battle, Mr. McCain frequently accused Mitt Romney of setting a timetable for withdrawing troops from Iraq, a charge Mr. Romney denied.
In comments to reporters after his speech, Mr. McCain insisted that his speech should not be interpreted as setting a date for withdrawal, and that he was simply projecting victory in Iraq. He took issue with a reporter who characterized his speech as a “magic carpet ride,’’ saying: “I don’t think it has anything to do with fantasy, I think it has everything to do with setting goals and achieving.’’
In his speech, Mr. McCain also projected that “concerted action’’ by the world’s democracies will have persuaded Russia and China to cooperate in persuading Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions and North Korea to discontinue its own.
In Afghanistan, he said, an increase in actionable intelligence will have led to the capture or death of Osama bin Laden, and “there is no longer any place in the world al Qaeda can consider a safe haven.’’ He added: “There still has not been a major terrorist attack in the United States since September 11, 2001.’’
John Mc Cain is not G.W.Bush.
Pagusapan si Gloria!!! Huwag kayong makalimot na siya ay peke ..
Well, talk to you later.I’ll volunteer for the Republican calling and reminding voters not to forget to vote tomorrow.

Ito ang tama, ang galing!
The Bush’s War
Was Bush’s attack on Iraq legal? Of course not. For one thing, wars of aggression were punished as war crimes at Nuremberg. Second, Bush never secured a congressional declaration of war, which the U.S. Constitution requires. That makes Bush’s war on Iraq illegal under US form of government. Third, the UN Charter, to which the U.S. is a signatory, makes attacks on other countries illegal.
The fact is that the Bush regime is going to do whatever it wants to do. In Bush’s mind, whatever he does is legal and moral because it’s all for “freedom” or in accordance with some plan of God. Thus, all the hullabaloo.
Garci is not in Colorado.
The state of Colorado has released its first set of early voting figures: and it’s bad news for Obama.Despite a massive push by Obama for early voting, including repetitious pleas during the Democrats’ Convention for Coloradoans to early vote, Democrats and Republicans are tied in terms of early voting so far.105,277 – Democrats = 49.92%105,615 – Republicans = 50.08% v338 = Difference between the two = 0.16%This means that even with a nonstop push by the Obama campaign for his followers to vote early, Republicans are still ahead in Colorado, if only slightly.Democrats vote early in higher numbers than Republicans in almost every state. And that’s not including the big persuasive push by Obama. Logic dictates with all the attention Obama’s put on early voting, that Democrats should be clobbering Republicans right now…if they vote early in higher numbers to begin with, and then Obama’s made a big push for early voting on top of that.That’s not happening.Republicans have a slight lead in early voting right now.Where is all the enthusiasm for Obama the media keeps braying about?And remember: not all of those Democrats are voting Obama. We know 30 Democrats right there in Chicago who voted early — and voted Republican for the first time in their lives. We bet there’s a higher percentage of Democrats voting Republican in Colorado this year than any year in the past.And that’s something we won’t know the full extent of until Election Day.
Colorado is a blue state turning red.

Obama is not running against George W. Bush.
Obama is running against John Mc Cain.
Again let us focus on politics of issue not on politics of personality.
This is very important.
In recent years, the Bush administration has used “terrorist” as a kind of geopolitical curse word, rather than a legally defined term. In the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, for instance, the Bush administration has applied the word “terrorist” to local insurgents battling U.S. troops, even if there are no attacks on civilians.
With the new attempt by McCain and Palin to portray Obama as a “terrorist sympathizer” for simply knowing someone who once engaged in what Obama called “detestable acts 40 years ago when I was eight years old,”
This is dirty Republican’s smearing of Obama.
the whole world knows how gw bush cheated in 2000 elections to then vp al gore..and what happen? national karma-financial crisis and prolong war on terrorism, but still the 2004 phil presidential election is still a feat to be duplicated-imagine the afp, pnp, the lower house and the judiciary connived to help gma stole the presidency…only in the phils – the result, national karma…crisis after crisis and prolong agony and despair of the filipino people.
the reward for those cheats and political operators? political appointees, loyalty bonus, promotion and etc. etc.
“hello garci” batasan cover-up incident, failed comelec automation are all pointed to malacanang mafia and arroyo corrupt-poration.

mabuhay ka pilipino!
bithcevil’s take, on why Pinoys should consider Senator Obama, as the next US President:
“…Seventh, if Obama wins as the first black President, any Filipino American can also aspire to be President. The barriers have been broken.”
**********
this reason has the strongest touch. more than a year ago, the same line of argument i made with my US-based family relations, asking them to support Obama’s primary race against HRC. they have become, since then, regular Obama campaign contributors.
IWATCHER:
Yap…ibang-iba ang mga Pinoy (Gloria & Alipores for that matter) pag gumawa ng mga “kagalingan.” Sa Pilipinas ngayon, you’re rewarded for “cheating, stealing, lying, and all kinds of misdeeds.” Recent Proof: See how they PROTECT this “soul-less” Bolante in St. Lukes! Can’t blaim the doctors either. Their lives and professions are at stake!
Obama’s constant exposure to Asian culture starting during his youth, could bring positive alterations in the RP-US relations.
Barack, until age ten, stayed in Indonesia with his mother, Ann Durham, a very capable researcher/anthropologist working for Ford Foundation.
Her researches entails daily interaction with locals, for years, on her way to help formulate the world’s biggest micro-financing network in the world— helping millions of Indonesian households. (This should debunk vicious and false rumors that Barack spent his childhood in Indonesia to become a jihadist sleeper.)
And oh, the adjectives i used to portray his mother are not entirely mine. Those are from her former colleagues at the Foundation—one of whom now works with Manila-based, Asian Development Bank.
(and if i may point out, Asian Institute of Management, for whatever it is worth, came into being because of Ford Foundation—-its main early sponsor.)
Tony Cuevas says: ‘Obama is not even eligible for FBI security clearance.’

Tony,
kagawad ng US Senate Foreign Relations Committee na pinamumunuan ni Sen. Dick Lugar—- si Barack Obama.
alam naman ng lahat na merong access ang komite sa mga high-level security report ng CIA, o kahit na ng FBI.
palagay ko hindi abuso kung isipin, na dito ibinase ni Barack Obama ang desisyon na hindi makipag-tagpo kay PangGulong Gloria—–alam niyang Pekeng Pangulo ito, base sa report na rin ng mga ahensiya ng espiya ng US.
At ngayon naglabasan na ang result sa New Hampshire. Lahat na pinoy aanib na kay Barack Obama 100 percent. Mga pinoy nga naman.
For those who still believe that the Republicans are pro-life, watch this….pareho lang ang Republicans and Democrats…walang pinagkaiba.

Such unfair, rude, and false propaganda to even accused Senator John McCain, a man of integrty, an American hero, of having connection to Garcilliano, a known liar. Perhaps, whoever the author of this propaganda, with a twisted agenda, has not been watching the news and ACORN accused of registration and voting fraud. Guess, who gave ACORN over $800K and used to worked for ACORN, surely not Garcilliano, but Barack Hussein Obama. By the way, members of ACORN has been indicted and serving time in jail for fraud.

First, I might say the author of the statement above need to be informed, such statement is false. The war in Iraq was overwhemingly approved by the Congress of the United States and sanction by the Security Council of the United Nation after 17 resolution in which Sadam Hussein decided to ignored. Majority of the people (80%) and everybody in US Congress has all the info and accepted that Sadam was a danger to the security of the nation, since Sadam possessed WMD. Also, it is not a well guarded secret that Sadam gas/poison almost a million of his own people. Furthermore, 9/11 didn’t happened without the support of terrorists countries. War in Iraq is legal in accordance with US Congress and United Nation. Get your facts straight!
Obama’s sister is married to a Chinese with surname Ng. Obama has many Filipino friends in Hawaii where he was born and grew up. Obama’s step dad was an Indonesian. Obama is pro-minority and Asians. These alone should make him the next US President.

I don’t know how and where you got your vile talking point, but you couldn’t be more wrong on all counts. Stop telling lies, McCain, Palin and the Republican never called Obama a “terrorist sympathiser”. Cited at least once during the campaign that Senator McCain and Gov Palin accused Obama as a terrorist sympathiser. In contrary, if you haven’t got the real facts, take sometime check the public info available in the website that Obama spent in millions of dollar of negative campaigning against Senator McCain and Gov. Palin. For your info, Obama’s people sent an army of democrat sympathisers to Alaska to dig out dirt on Gov. Palin. It’s true that a well known domestic unrepentant terrorists Ayers and Dorn just happen to lives in Barack Hussein Obama’s neighborhood, such a coincidence. Obama’s political dream started inside the Ayers living room. Check it out, it’s not just fiction, all facts.
I am against Bush’s war on Iraq but the fact is that under the US Constitution, it is only Congress who can declare war. Without congress approval, Bush could not have gone ahead with it. Nag-uunahan pa nga silang mag-aprove e because emotions were running so high then.
Ano naman yan, ginawang Gloria’s Pinas ang ‘merika? Yes, “Get your facts straight!” Misinformation yan.
iwatcher 2010 Says: “the whole world knows how gw bush cheated in 2000 elections to then vp al gore..and what happen?”… You just can’t accept President George Bush, and after all these years. Incredible! Must’ve been difficult for you to live knowing that Al Gore got beaten after numerous florida vote recounts. Sorry that Gore couldn’t get the numbers he wants after all three recounts. Blame the pregnant chads and hanging chads for Gore’s defeat, and not President Bush. Get over it!
Sayang talaga si Al Gore…blame the Electoral College for Bush’s double win, iba ang election sa Amerika. Kahit si Kerry, who was more popular than Bush, lost in his bid when the College votes were counted. That’s why Barack, even with a clear popular lead, did not become complacent in his campaign.
(It is not necessary to say directly if you want to hit somebody, but the direct insinuation is well established).
******************
John McCain’s bombings certainly killed – some two dozen aerial attacks upon the people of Vietnam, people who had neither done nor threatened any harm to him or his country. What label do we give to such acts, to such a man? His level of violence is matched by his degree of hypocrisy.
The Republican presidential campaign has tried to make a big issue of Barack Obama at one time associating with Bill Ayers, a member of the 1960s Weathermen who engaged in political bombings.
Governor Palin has accused Obama of “palling around with terrorists”, although Ayers’ association with the Weathermen during their period of carrying out anti-Vietnam War bombings in the United States took place when Obama was around 8-years-old.
By contrast, there is no evidence that Bill Ayers was involved in any Weathermen bombing that killed anyone; nor have I seen any evidence that on the very rare occasion that an anti-Vietnam War bombing in the United States resulted in a casualty that it could be ascribed to the Weathermen.
“there is no evidence that Bill Ayers was involved in any Weathermen bombing that killed anyone
In 1970, Bill Ayers and other leaders of the weather undergroung set up bomb in New York that killed three people. Also, Bill Ayers set to blow up Ft. Dix in New york, etc.
Senator McCain didn’t ask to be in the Vietnam war, his country asked for his service. Senator McCain was a fighter pilot during Vietnam war, he was there because he was sent by his country. We was a prisoner when his character and judgement as a leader was tested by his captors. In the darkness of his cell, he could’ve gone home earlier since he was a son of an Admiral. But, Senator McCain without no one looking or the cameras choices to remain with his buddy prisoner for 5-1/2 more years, of course he took the beating as the story been told. If that’s not a man with a strong character and leadership, Id don’t know what. Now name one notable Obama’s accomplishment that will qualify him as a leader? Anybody can eloqently make promises, but such a person has the records to justify it? Senator McCain and Gov. has such records of reform. And Senator has the scar to prove it.
I apologize for some typo error.
Pretty soon the US election would be over. McCain knew he would lose. What the Republicans want to accomplish is to limit the Democrats winning most of the Congressional seats. They have long conceded to a McCain defeat. The show must go on…so whether McCain likes it or not, he has to continue campaigning. On the other hand, Obama has already gathered his economic team. The US economy problem is his priority; and the US is running out of time to solve this. McCain is not losing…it’s Bush who’s losing.
Canadians appear to back Obama
The next U.S. president will be announced shortly, and Canadians are predicting it will be Barack Obama.
According to an electoral count done Monday by realclearpolitics.com, 51.5 per cent of the votes are certain for Obama, while 44.1 per cent are certain for John McCain, which leaves 4.4 per cent a toss up.
“McCain is not losing…it’s Bush who’s losing.” ? How you figure? You might not like to admit, but President Bush gave USA 7 years of peace and prosperity, that his record. And he’s right in Iraq. Lastly, Americans are very intelligent people, at least the majority, they knew that the country is in war with extreme terrorists, and there is only one man that has the record that fought for his country, Senator John McCain. It’s going to be a long night tonite, but in the end America will choose a person with proven strong character in the face of adversity. We shall see.
I saw the tv interview of the Fed agent who infiltrated Ayers’ group. He said that the gov’t lost the case by technicality and that he was not allowed by the court to testify.
I don’t blame Barack for his choice of friends/colleagues. I just don’t like him being so evasive and denying that they were his ‘friends’ and he went beyond mere how-do-you-do associations with the personalities often mentioned in this blog. Perhaps, his campaign thought it better to deny.
Bush gave the US 7 years of peace and prosperity, Toney? First time I heard of it. If it’s true, why wasn’t he with McCain in any of his rallies and use it to convince voters? If it’s true, why did McCain say he’s not Bush?
After reading all the stories of the long lines, etc. I went to vote armed wth a rosary to pray while on line. Of course hindi ko nakalimutan to have breakfast first..so from mass I went home to eat.. I don’t let anything interfere with my sleeping and eating habits…I was ready to face the long line… But to my surprise walang line..ang mga nasa mesa ay 70% kakulay ni Obama..I had to go to 5 people for them to check my name..they could not find it..I spelled it orally walang nangyari..I looked for a piece of paper to write..paano nila makita…ang isa ay naglipstick muna,,ang isa nakipagkwentuhan sa katabi…and it took me more than 15 minutes for them to find my name and for me to vote in less than 10 minutes…efficiency? ay wan..ang married name ko ay 6 letters lang at madali .lntk just put an o like in obama…ano pa kaya kung ang ginamit kung pangalan ay ang maiden name ko na kasing haba na pangalan ni ellen..seguro natapos na ang araw ay hindi pa nila makita…efficiency?
Looking at TV news and watching CNN, many of the voters are indeed Blacks. Needless to say, majority of these Blacks are for Obama. A Black voter called to complain that in one place, 500 Black voters were not able to vote because the machines were not working. Given the modern technology and resources the US have, why didn’t they anticipate this? Or they deliberately messed it up in anticipation of more Obama voters?
Ha!ha!ha! Rose, you’re sooooo funny. Anyway, I casted my ballot yesterday pa. My place allows early voting.
be..just wondering..you seem to be a bit cynical of the previous adm..thus you want change. Were you here in the East Coast in 9/11? did you ever live here where you take the train and you want to rest and close your eyes to take a nap at hindi puede at ang ingay? I was, and I saw the twin tower slowly going down na parang upos..and we did not know what hit the tower..what I thought at first was the planes were simply flying low to see the view..were you here when all you hear are sirens..were you hear when you call smell the stench of a burning flesh? could you blame me for being keeping a distance?..seguro kung narassn mo ang narasan namin during those days you will understand..ano ang kasalanan ng America?
What about 9/11? Are you blaming it on Obama? On the Blacks?
On Muslims? Check the records…many of the terroristic acts committed inside America were done by white Americans like that of Oklahoma bombing. Being cynical of the previous administration was an understatement. If you insist that Bush did good in his eight years of presidency (the first clouded by suspicion and fraud stolen from Gore in Florida), then I suggest that you go to sleep or keep praying your rosary. I’m posing this query again: If Bush did good after eight years, don’t you think he should take pride in joining McCain in his campaign rallies? Don’t you think McCain should take pride in declaring that he’s like Bush?
..prosperity depends on how you understand it..ang dami kuarta ni Obama kaya prosperous siya?..ang dami pera ni Arroyo kaya prosperous siya..Noong araw si Camilo Sabio ay simply lamang and from what I know at that time..hindi mayaman, pero ngayon ay prosperous na..maraming kuarta..
..peace is in one’s self…when something bothers me..all I say to myself is “The Lord is my Shepherd, there is nothing I shall want..something I learned at an early age thanks to the Baptist sister of my grandmother who made us all to read the Bible during our summer vacations..we are not rich but we are not poor..we don’t have a lot but we have enough is the wealth my parents left me… Thanks to my faith and trust in God..
..I am not being pontifical I am just sharing my story…
..Incidentally, kanina sa mass I heard the story of St. Charles Borromeo..isang Arch. ng Milan, who served the poor of the city..ang sabi pa he sold many things in the archbishop’s palace to buy things for the poor and the sick..I went home with a nagging thought..magagawa kaya ito ng mga archbishop sa atin? magagawa kaya ito ni Bishop Lagdameo, Villegas, Rosales et. al, I wonder sa tingin ko hindi..but I hope I am wrong as wrong can be at gagawin nila..
be: I am not blaming anyone for what happened..it happened for a reason.. I will not judge anyone but I certainly will keep praying the rosary.. and that is no threat but a promise..after all my name is not rosario maria for nothing! thanks for your thoughts..
Whoever wins, I’m sure the whole world will be hoping FOR JUST ONE CHANGE. Whether it’s by Obama or McCain doesn’t matter.
It’s America’s arrogance that must be changed.
chi: my well meaning friends told me..kasi baku baku daw ang tagalog ko..as you well know bisaya ako..ang sabi nila ang o daw sa bisaya palitan ko ng i at tagalog na..like kaon-kain..so in other words..ang apelyido ng asawa ko..lntk with an o..ay maging ano ay naku…nalintikan na baka ako multohin ng asawa ko..kahit tapos na ang todos los santos..
Tongue: Amen!
By noontime our time, we’ll know who won the US presidential race. Regardless of whether Obama wins or not the election, this is quite an exciting election for me and others who have tried to pitch in to try to correct the wrongs done by the worst president of the US to mankind.
BE, you’re right, majority of Canadians prefer Obama. A friend in Canada just voted for him. She is Filipina with US citizen but married to a dual citizen Canadian. They just actually had gone back to Canada. They used to live in Corpus Christie, Texas.
Funny but majority of Europeans, too, prefer Obama. Apparently, all over the world, people want to see a different US president who will be more compassionate even to the Moslems, and will concentrate on trying to be friends to all, not accuse baselessly everyone as terrorist, including those Moslems already in US shores, and will not be as a hypocrite as Bush who claims to be another Christian trying to be like God! 😛
Chi: hindi ba may kasabihan tayo..tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are?
Tongue,
Yan na nga ang sinasabi ko. Basta ba yan mababago?! I exercised my voting right this am but not expecting any changes as to America’s arrogance towards foreign nations while it wants to remain the number one super power in the world. Barack is BASICALLY an American, so is McCain.
Rose, you could keep praying your rosary, though others would advise you that repetitious prayer is against God’s command. If you only know the origin of rosary…
You’re not blaming Obama on 9/11 but the tenor of your statement reflected it.
But, I think I shall agree with you that it’s all up to God. Sometimes or most of the time, it’s destiny. And destiny points to an African-American US President. I’m not a fan of the Blacks…but I believe change is needed. A change of color might change America’s future for the better.
Rose, exactly!
oppss. magkaiba kasi ang oras. yung hubby ang bumoto kahapon, ako ngayong umaga. Nagulo na ako sa katatawa sa iyo. hahaha!
It just took three ordinary airplanes and a few determined low-tech terrorists with boxcutters to shatter all of high-tech almighty America’s ego and brought it down to the bottomless pits of military shame. Unimaginable. But many of its own citizens are now convinced this could not have happened without the knowledge and approval of its own leaders. The evidences are abundant in the net of this conspiracy theory and while this theory has still not been completely debunked, I will continue to join those who will stay on the safe side and reject any and all vestiges and spawns of the suspect Bush-Cheney administration.
Sorry, but that includes McCain and the whole Republican machinery. (And don’t start me with stupid Palin, puh-leeze!)
BE:
Members of the Moslem Fundamentalist Movement accused of destroying the Twin Tower in NYC, etc. were actually mostly Pakistanis. Ironically, the first people Bush asked for help and assistance in eliminating these Moslems was Musharaf, a Pakistani!!!
For more on this Bush lunacy and greed, read the articles in http://www.informationclearinghouse.info
There are more in other sites indicated there complete with video clips, etc.
As the Bible says, “No one is saved by ignorance.” It is called “invincible ignorance.”
Tilamsik: John McCain’s bombings certainly killed – some two dozen aerial attacks upon the people of Vietnam, people who had neither done nor threatened any harm to him or his country. What label do we give to such acts, to such a man? His level of violence is matched by his degree of hypocrisy.
*****
I like your take on this. The Vietnamese did not do the arrogant Americans any wrong.
I actually did not understand the Vietnam War myself. We were actually new immigrants to the US when the Americans started bombing Vietnam and blaming the Vietcongs for their own created woes. In fact, I did not understand as well the worldwide protests against the Vietnam War as I was kind of still fresh from the indoctrination I received as a child that America was No. 1, and the protector of the world, not the destroyer that it has actually become as now, and I wondered in fact why God allowed them to be defeated by the Vietcongs.
Apparently, God does not tolerate evil deeds!
Tongue: But many of its own citizens are now convinced this could not have happened without the knowledge and approval of its own leaders.
*****
Sinabi mo pa. At least, now they see. In fact, the US government has had the information since the first bombing of the Twin Tower in 1993. Remember the Bojinka Project documents, etc. discovered in an apartel in Manila in 1995? I heard that Ramos and Ebdane in fact received more than 30,000 dollars for those evidences from the FBI.
They had the evidences, why then did they not prevent the 2001 tragedy from happening? And the nerve of the brutes to be playing on US love for patriotism, etc. to get votes. Nakakasuka!
Watch out for the Florida vote. Diyan nadaya si Gore I am told!
I have had my own sad story with blacks in SFO, but that has not deterred me from supporting Obama. What I heard and see, I liked.
May he be the first Afro-American US President! God willing, he will!!!
The Bush war is a mistake. The US intelligence is quite intelligent afterall. Ala dela Paz din kung mag-aksaya ng intel fund ang CIA, et al. The war merchants are hitting big with Bush US defeat in the middle east as they did in the Vietnam war which McCain proudly extolled and wasted a part of his life.
McCain lived comfortably for 5 1/2 years at the Hanoi Hilton
given preferrential treatment by his captors solely on the premise the vietcongs found out his father was an Admiral.
And now he claims, he knows how to win a WAR? And he was tested? Tested where?
Tony Cuevas – can you give one name of ACORN members who was indicted and convicted?
If ACORN is so glued with the Democrats, no one here including Asian Delight answered my inquiries “Why then did GORE and KERRY lost theirs presidential bids, as well as OBAMA’S bid for a congressional seat in his district of Chicago?”
Ayers was an amateur rag tag domestic terrorist. He used low level types of bombs like firecrackers! He was never indicted nor convicted! J Gordon Liddy, an old friend of McCain was a convicted domestic terrorist and just gave the McCain campaign fund $1,000.00. McCain is so proud to be liddy’s chum. Liddy was the hatchetman of Nixon the Crook!
Wright and Farrakhan is to Robertson and Hagee. The former are for black propagandas and the latter are known for their racism. Hagee is a white supremacist without his white robe and mask and a big contributor to McCain’s campaign fund. McCain is also very proud to be Hagee’s white friends.
Palin is a joke, a dud, and so inept. If she only had a little bit of weeny brains – she would have figured out herself she wasn’t to talking to President Sarkozy when the subject of “my wife is hot in bed” or “I can see belgium” phrases, were part of her conversation. And she was so self-righteous to proclaim “she will be US president in eight years!”. The same rightwingers applauding her now will soon be the same bastards denigrading her in the republican primaries if she makes a run for president should they lose this election.
Republicans’ idea of prosperity is from top while the Democrats’ is from the ground.
BE: …Seventh, if Obama wins as the first black President, any Filipino American can also aspire to be President. The barriers have been broken.

You bet. Para iyang katulad noong Oscar award. Naumpisa doon sa negra na nanalo noon 1939 for “Gone With the Wind.” Tapos, decades after iyong supporting actor na si Cuba Gooding, Jr., followed by Denzel Washington, Haille Berry. and Forest Whitaker.
Aside from stopping Bush’s eight years of lousy governance, an Obama win would restore the image of America. It could bring back the world’s respect for America.
tru blue,
I just posted the full transcript of the prank call in the thread “An Exciting US Election” also here in Ellen’s. Seriously, do Americans realy want Palin to be president in case the old Mac suddenly goes pfft?
She’s even hoping to be president, at least, in eight years time. I’d die to see it happen.
I actually first posted that prank call about Palin coming from Montreal, Canada. It just shows Canada is for Obama.
I couldn’t agree more, b.e. Respect for America would probably be restored faster in an Obama presidency. I think that would be more important than any of the financial or political struggles America is facing today.
It’s about time the US is back to being Big Brother once again, not the wicked school headmaster.
Marcos used to say “This Nation Will Be Great Again”. Obama can say “America Can Be Great Again”.
The world hates America because of Bush. Many American people hate Bush just like how we Filipinos hate GMA, the Evil Bitch.
Take note of the many similarities between the two evils.
World hopes for ‘less arrogant America’
BERLIN—The world was riveted by the election drama unfolding Tuesday in the United States, inspired by the hope embodied by Barack Obama or simply relieved that—whoever wins—an administration that spawned Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay was coming to an end.
From Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate to the small town of Obama, Japan, the globe geared up to celebrate a fresh start for America after eight wearisome years of George W. Bush.
In Germany, where more than 200,000 flocked to see Obama this summer as he moved to burnish his foreign policy credentials during a trip to the Middle East and Europe, the election dominated television ticker crawls, newspaper headlines and websites.
Hundreds of thousands prepared to party through the night to watch the outcome of an election having an impact far beyond America’s shores.
Among the more irreverent festivities planned in Paris: A “Goodbye George” party to bid farewell to Bush.
Europeans had a sense of the momentous change that was about to unfold.
Obama-mania was evident not only across Europe, where millions geared up for all-night vigils, but also in much of the Islamic world.
“I hope Obama wins (because) of the need of the world to see the US represent a more cosmopolitan or universal political attitude,” said Rais Yatim, the foreign minister of mostly Muslim Malaysia.
Nizar al-Kortas, a columnist for Kuwait’s Al-Anbaa newspaper, saw an Obama victory as “a historic step to change the image of the arrogant American administration to one that is more acceptable in the world.”
Yet John McCain enjoyed a strong current of support in countries such as Israel, where he is perceived as tougher on Iran.
If there is ONE COMMON GROUND in this blog or other blogs that ALL OF US MUST AGREE on is Palin’s selection for VP.
Lord Almighty! Yes she met the age and citizenship requirements but her interviews alone and debate with Joe B
just cringed people to the bones. Tina Fey didn’t even have to reinvent herself, Palin’s zigzagging and elongated incoherent expression of whatever she is trying to convey is a script itself for an SNL parody.
If not for her Eskimo husband, she won’t be governor of Alaska, that’s for sure.
This is McCain injected with a “calming pill”.
“I’m an emotional guy. I get angry. I’m not happy about it but sometimes I just snap. I always struggle with my
anger management every moment of the day”. This was a verbatim of an interview when asked about one of his highly volatile toxic tirades in the senate. That is John Sydney McCain III.
If he is elected, hope the Generals and Admirals keep the Nuclear Trigger away from him! For he might just snap!
McCain admits he’s emotional and gets angry. So, if another country provokes him, he would order an attack on this country out of emotion and anger. He has what’s called Post Traumatic Stress. Since he keeps bragging about his military and war records, then World War 3 may come as predicted under McCain administration.
Sarah Palin? Who is she? During her first appearance, she introduced the baby as hers. Later, it was learned the baby was her teen-age daughter’s. Talking about Christian, conservative values….tsk, tsk.
We might as well end this argument about McCain and Obama. Instead, let’s all prepare for an Obama Administration and wish him the best of luck.
Cocoy, Pomunta ka sa Hyatt Hotel sa Orange county malapit sa Highway 405, Nov. 4, 8:30 P.M. Do-on ang malaking party ng NRP. Makita mo pa si Arnold du-on.
Mahaba ang pila sa polling center.katatapos lang namin na bumoto.Iyung dalaga ko na first time voter si Obama ang ibinoto niya.Si kumander Mc Cain.Ako ni write-in ko ang boto ko sa sarili ko.Hehehe.
Maayos naman ang botohan,tumuloy kami sa Starbuck,may libreng kape at donut.Mahigpit ang labanan nina Obama at Mc Cain.Mali ang media na landslide ang panalo ni Obama.
Dandaw,maraming beses ko ng nakita at nakausap si Arnold ng personal kaya lang hindi raw muna siya gagawa ng pelikula at wala na akong chance na maging extra sa sine niya.Hehehe!
Parang effective ang ground war ni Mc Cain on the last hour.Marami sila nahikayat na iboto si tanda at sara.
Hindi uubra ang magic ni Abalos at matik-matik ni Garci sa election ng merica.Pang Mindanao lang sila.
Hindi rin nakukuha ang mga botante dito sa Merica ng isang botelyang pataba ni Bolante na kinulayan ng dyubos.
Sa Starbuck may libreng kape kahit na si Mc Cain o si Obama pa ang ibinoto nila.
Kahit na sino pa ang manalo ay panalo pa rin ang mga Pinoy dito sa Merica dahil half-half ang boto.Mga Pinoy lang naman ang maiinit sa pulitika dito.Kahapon daw sabi ng kaibigan ko ay may nagsuntukan dahil lang sa debate kay Mc Cain at Obama.Mabuti na lang at naawat daw agad dahil kamuntik pa silang magsaksakan ng tinidor ng inawat na sila ng kanilang misis.Pareho kasing Takusa gang.
bitchevil:
“Sarah Palin? Who is she? During her first appearance, she introduced the baby as hers. Later, it was learned the baby was her teen-age daughter’s. Talking about Christian, conservative values….tsk, tsk.”
Bitchevil, you definitely live up to your name as the voice of evil. Your statement above is a total fabricated of lie. Please, don’t be ignorance of the fact and ruin Governor Sarah Palin’s good name. Trig the young boy is the son of Honorable Governor Sarah Palin. You don’t have to believe me but at least check your lies. If you’ve any decency left in you, you’ll apologize for spreading lies about the governor. You don’t have to agree with her, but at the same time you shouldn’t spread lies about her. Shame on you.
Pareng cocoy/Dandaw – yang Orange County ang “deep south” ng California. Diyan and umpokan ng mga white supremacists.
Welcome na welcome ang ibang lahi diyan, sana maraming pinoys na makihalo sa kanila mamayang gabi.
Goodluck to Johnny and Sarah.
be: I don’t think obama has anything to do with 9/11 na ka short pants pa siya noon. I received an e mail stating that he was not born in USA..ano ito Fernando Poe Jr. story? but if he wins I will be home early before 6:00 pm and stay home until the morning..grounded muna ang night flights until Spring…
True Blue
Malayo sa lugar ko ang Orange County.Pupunta na lang ako sa Panda Express at kumain ng orange chicken.Sabagay bumaba na ang halaga ng gasolina.$2.85/gallon kaya balik na uli ako sa SUV dahil pinupulikat ako sa maliit na sedan na gawa ng mga may Toyo sa japan.
Grizzly, As a bible reader you always blame Bush for the ills of the world. Do you know that Bush is as avid a Bible reader as you are. Bush is a product of the media manipulation and distortion. The media in this country are mostly in the pockets of George Soros, the Labor Union, some underworld characters from the middle east. No one in this planet earth can much the power of the union in the U.S. That is why we need honest to goodness people like McCain and Sarah Palin. Didn’t Bush just saved the ailing economy? Remember, any president of this country can not do anything without the Okay of Congress. Who are the Democratic member of Congress that bankrupted Fannie May and Freddie Mack? Chris Dodd, Barney Franks, Pelosi and you are not bothered about this?
God Save America!..
Toney, you called me a liar? What about those attacks on Obama including his citizenship? We’ve been decent with one another until this US election. We happen to have a different candidate we support. You’re entitled to your choice; and I hope you respect mine too.
Now, this is not a lie again: On election day, McCain is emotional and begging for his supporters to continue campaigning. What about Obama? He’s playing basketball.
Malakas lang si Obama sa mga first time voter lalo na iyung mga teen ager dahil natatakot sila na kung si Mc Cain daw ang manalo ay baka ibalik ang military draft kaya nauna na silang bumoto by mail.
Tony, not so fast. That’s not a done deal. There is some sinister on Palin’s part why she didn’t made her medical records available immediately when asked. There’s a two or three weeks gap – then she was cleared a few days ago as excellent physically. I’m sure there are people still investigating this matter. If the FBI wants to see my and other regular citizens medical records, in one day they could do it. Why the GAP? Regarding LIES – it’s on both sides, and there’s more of these lies on the GOP side. It’s dirty politics, don’t get into it if you have lots of skulls in the closet.
Dandaw, how could Bush be a product of media manipulator when he’s the number one manipulator? He manipulated the Congress to get approval for the Iraq War. He manipulated the people assuring them that the economy was okay. A couple of months after, financial crisis, the worst since the last Great Depression, hit America. As for reading the Bible, there are two types of bible reader: One reads without putting them into practice while the other put them into practice. After eight long years of messing the country, Bush certainly did not put the words of the Bible into practice.
BE: True to our song to our Lady of Fatima..I pledged my love and offer a rosary each day..I am Catholic and proud to be..and my name is Rosario Maria…
Did it ever occur to your mind why Palin’s medical record came out during the election day as well as the dismissal of her case with the ethics committee? What a timing! What a coincidence! And Obama’s illegal alien Aunt case was brought up two days before the election. Another coincidence. An e-mail message is being passed around saying that all Obama voters should vote on Nov. 5 because of the long line. Some evil hands are working behind the scene. Some people really want to win by hook or by crook!
While you are having an argument about Sara and as we wait for the election returns to come in tonight, we’ll be spotlighting the political views of a series of local plumbers named Joe.
The original “Joe the Plumber” is intended to be a stand-in for the American Everyman. While he supported John McCain, other Joes the Plumber have different views. By checking in with these regular guys, we hope to learn something about the mood of the country during this historic moment.
The first Joe the Plumber is Joe Grammatico. He’s 31 years old, and works with his father at Sal-Sal’s Plumbing in Torrance. He said he’s not a very political person, and when I talked with him yesterday, he was still undecided.
“I don’t really trust either of them,” he said. “McCain’s age scares me a little bit. Obama seems fresh, but I think he could be manipulated.”
McCain’s age is a particular concern because Grammatico is no fan of his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin: “I think she doesn’t know what’s going on,” he said.
Grammatico said that during the last presidential debate, when “Joe the Plumber” became a star, he got a bunch of calls from his friends.
“They started saying the debate was all about you,” he said.
Since then, his customers have all been asking him about politics – a topic he prefers to avoid, not wanting to lose any business.
Check back later in the day for more wisdom from other plumbers named Joe.
Rose, nothing’s wrong with your praying the rosary. Since you’re a very educated person, why not do some research and find out the true origin of rosary. If you read the Bible, check out if God forbids long and repetitious prayers. Or do you want me to provide you the verse?
I interrupted Joe Moore, of Joe Moore Plumbing in Gardena, while he was in the middle of replacing a sink. He was happy to take a short break from that to share his views on the election.
Like the original Joe the Plumber, he will be supporting John McCain.
Moore, 52, said he is concerned about taxes going up under an Obama Administration. But he said he also been on the Internet and had come to believe that Obama was not born in Hawaii – as his birth certificate shows – but rather was born in Africa.
“If you look at the other networks, all they ever talk about is how good Obama is,” he said. “I watch Fox News so I see both sides of it.”
Moore said he was afraid that Obama would try to bankrupt coal producers, and said he was also concerned about abortion, which he believes leads to crime, corruption and deceit. Beyond that, he was worried that Obama would “cut and run” from Iraq.
“If we cut and run, we’re going to tell the entire world we’re just a bunch of doggone cowards,” he said. “We’re sending ourselves to Doomsday.”
Moore said that McCain and Palin are the right people to go to Washington to clean house.
“The Congress is basically like a huge sewer line that’s plugged up and is overflowing,” he said. “McCain and Palin are the plumbers. They’re gonna clear it out and make sure it runs smooth.”
Joe the Plumber screwed up during his CNN interview with Rick Sanchez. He talked about his principle. When Rick asked him if it’s true he’s not a licensed plumber, owes thousands of taxes and medical bills; Joe got upset and answered back why Rick was asking those questions. Rick countered saying it’s to show if Joe has principle as he says he is. Rick further explained that since Joe publicly endorsed McCain and has been actively campaigning for him, people deserves to get his answers on all political questions. If you look at this guy Joe closely, he could have been planted by the Republicans to trap Obama in his rally. This bald (skinned head) redneck is obviously racist.
And Cocoy has similar feature with Joe the Plumber…he, he.

God Save America!..
….Better to say “God Save The World”. America is not the only country on earth.
leche na-late ako dito hahahaha! an saya saya! hehehe!
Never too late Reyna. Join the fun.
Back to “God Save America”…It’s wrong to be saving America while other countries suffer and be bullied by America. An Obama victory will change all these!
dawdaw, thank you for speaking out for Honorable President George Bush, history will justify him as one of the greatest president of America for his steadfast in bringing democracy in the middle east, right in the heart of muslim extremist, freeing million of citizens most specially women and stopping political killing of innocent people, including the ridding the butcher of Bagdad. Since the day one of his Presidency, the mainstream media and diehard members of democratic party has not once let up of attacking him. Inspite of it all, President Bush still standing tall and very proud of his accomplishment of keeping the Americans safe and prosperity in 7 years. Of course, his critics will disagree, only because of the grudge they still haven’t forgotten. Now, regardless of Obama’s lack of experience, matter not, democrats first and country last, as long as a democrat in the white house. The night ain’t over yet.
Joe the plumber could be any one of us or it could happen to us, just a regular Joe minding his own business when Obama came to his neighborhood. Without going to a long detail of explanation, Mr Joe asked Obama about his tax proposal. Obama answered was, to spread the wealth around. Tax the high income group and spread it to the needy, those with lower income or no income according to Obama’s idealogy. Of course, Joe thought that Obama’s of spreading the wealth around is socialism. “from each according to ability, to each according to need, Karl Max. Now you know the rest of the story. Mr. Joe has been attacked and investigated only because he asked Obama a wrong question. Does this remind you of what, Russia, Red China, et al? You could make fun of Mr Joe, but as a citizen he has a every right to ask question according to the constitution affforded to all the citizens of America.
I have difficulty agreeing with anyone who believes that Bush is the greatest US President, fighter of freedom and democracy, who cares about innocent civilians, women and children. First of all, may I ask you to check the number of civilians killed in Iraq mostly from America’s bombings.
Agreeing with pro-Bush people is like agreeing with pro-GMA people. It’s very hard for me to shallow even a drop of it. Bush’s records in eight years is enough to back up my position. The records speak for themselves. But again, let me pose this query again: If Bush is really great as you claim to be, why did he not join any of McCain’s rallies even for just one day…last day of campaign? If Republicans and McCain are proud of Bush’s achievements like you Toney keep saying, why did McCain say he’s not Bush?
Correction please: Swallow not shallow. To console McCain supporters, I’d like to say that it’s not McCain who shall be defeated…it’s Bush.
“This bald (skinned head) redneck is obviously racist.” Wow! How many bald person in America like Joe, are they all racist and redneck, only because you saw hin on TV? It appeared, such statement came from the playbook of Congressman John Murtagh of Pennsylvania. By the way, whose standard was this to call Mr Joe such derogatory names, from democrat game plot to destroy of those don’t conform to democrat visionary of how they see America?
Don’t tell me you’re also Bald, Toney. Negative ads and attacks are more rampant from the McCain’s side. They also started it and didn’t stop even during election day. Let’s just prepare for an Obama Administration. Let’s move on…
Toney, why not respond to this:
If Bush is really great as you claim to be, why did he not join any of McCain’s rallies even for just one day…last day of campaign? If Republicans and McCain are proud of Bush’s achievements like you who keep saying, why did McCain say he’s not Bush?
Lets keep this in proper perspective, I’m not a supporter of McCain. However, I do like what he stand for, the security of America and fighting against the terrorists. He’s certainly without the benefit of doubt an honorable man, an American hero. Certainly, McCain is not Bush, if you follow the record of McCain throughout his career in the Senate, he’s far from Bush, he’s a maverick, he’ll cross party. Of course, I didn’t expect for you to know that or let alone accept it.
President Bush, after almost eight years of non-stop attacked personally directed to him from democrats, his rating has gone down which is why McCain kinda shy away from Bush. I believe it was wrong. I still think President Bush did a lot to keep America safe, not only my opinion, but millions that believe in him. From the rubble of 9/11 in New York, he rises and promised that he’ll carry on ’till he rid of evils and make America a much safer place to live.
“Negative ads and attacks are more rampant from the McCain’s side. They also started it and didn’t stop even during election day. Let’s just prepare for an Obama Administration. Let’s move on…”
Once again, you’re misinformed about negative atttacks. Obama got the entire mainstream media in his tank, for one. It’s like 80% percent negative against McCain and 36% percent negative attacks to Obama. Plus Obama with all his money, he out spent McCain like 8 to 1 on negative attacks. It’s factual, check it out.
Obama’s administration? Give the Americans some credit for being intelligent. This about the country and not Obama.
Mc Cain take an early lead.He won Kentucky with 8 electoral vote.
Obama win Vermont with 3 electoral vote.
Mc Cain is leading in Florida,Indiana,Georgia and Virginia.
Mc Cain might steal California.
Mc Cain win West Virginia.
Wake up Cocoy. Stop dreaming. You might as well bet those numbers on your Lotto ticket.
pareng cocoy: dahan-dahan lang, ang puso mo. ang buong sambahayan ko ay bumoto sa mccain-palin ticket. kung matalo man sila, yan ang binobroadcast ng msm all along. pero kung manalo, pahiya sila ang mga pundits. we are also hoping mapatalsik si gregoire bilang governor ng aming state (washington). last election 133 votes lang ang lamang niya sa aming manok na si dino rossi.
Obama wins in Pennsylvania and is leading in Florida.
As I said, I prefer an Obama-Clinton team. This would have been unbeatable, and I don’t have to stay late following the election counts.
It’s going to be a close race, but Obama would win.
By faith and trust in God I live and I follow Him through being catholic…that is me and that is it what will be. Thanks for your suggestion..In this world having St. Francis of Assisi as my model..I committed myself to live simply to simply live..to be in the world but not of the world..
Obama wins Ohio. No Republican has ever won without winning Ohio. Congratulation President Obama!
Rose, I do believe that you have the faith. It all comes down to between you and God…and not something in between. God bless you!
I saw in this election that money talks..and in it many people trusts..I saw this too when the doctor refused to treat me because I did not have the cash..but that is the world today…
..yes Obama wins but this is the world we are in today..this is the world that he will excel at..he is the best in this world with all his supporters money..yes Obama wins and I sure look forward to going home to Antique..as St. Francis said it so aptly that which is bitter becomes sweet..and I thank God for my being catholic..
Money indeed talks. To run an election as high as the presidency, one needs lots of funds and resources. It’s given.
The Russians are mad at McCain…because he wins in Georgia.
Obama and Democrats won! KKK protests election! Joe the Plumber commits suicide!
Where’s Asian Delight? She predicted a LANDSLIDE for McCain in the Sunshine State of Florida. This is what happens when someone ONLY listens to Fox News, Rash Limbo, and other rightwing extremists literatures!
Iowa goes Obama, this is where McCain’s parents are from.
Arizona is too close to call. I’ve said earlier, this is the most telling for me in this election if McCain losses in his own turf. This will show people’s power and they’re not that stupid even in Arizona.
McCain’s camp in Arizona are already talking about recounts as some are suspicious. Here comes the LOSSERS once again.
Obama right now has 207 electoral vote, it’s over. The 77 electoral votes of Washington State, Oregon, California, and Hawaii will put Obama at 274. Florida and North Carolina or Virginia is just a matter of good figure, running up the score, as sports gamblers will say.
BE: sa tagalog..republican’s prosperty ay hulog ng langit at and democrats prosperity is nilibing sa lupa or kinalkal sa lupa? Kung mali sorry bisaya kasi ako..
Thank God Obama won..I will be home early and will not go out at night! Seguro nagtatawa ang Nanay ko..at natigil ang nocturnal activities ko..
The Blacks are already hip-hop dancing in the streets. Sorry Cocoy and Toney…better luck next Century!
The Community Organizer is the President of the United States!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s okey bitchevil.Shit always happen.Even Mc Cain lost I can still have an erection.Hehehehe!
I think Garci is in Florida waiting for the result from California.Hehehe!
The only good thing my wife got a red “I voted” sticker and my daughter was blue and we have a free coffee and donut at Starbuck today.I save 5 bucks although I spent 2 gallon of gasoline.Hehehe!
It’s over Obama win.Congratulation!!!!!!
Hope that we Filipinos living in America can burn those maps that identify us as Blues and Reds,Support the new president of the United States of America.
McCain concedes early, such a sportsman…Congratulations too.
There are no blue and red states; it’s the United States of America.
to the American People:
thank you for electing Barack Obama as the next President of your great country.
with great excitement and care, i await to see the fruit of how you have taken back your soul. for yourselves, and for rest of the mankind.
***************
to the next President, Barack Obama:
please be reminded of what i wrote late January 2008, long before the Super Tuesday with HRC:
bring shamans, and exorcists, and priests with you before you set to grace the White House—especially the Oval Office.
collectively, they must perform with earnest sincerity ceremonies to drive off the very b-a-a-a-d spirits, and terrible omens residing in that office.
i am not seeing things, Mr. President. you must have seen those reports filed by your eyes and ears.
you see, my nation’s Chief Usurper and immoral de facto leader in her one of those legitimacy fishing expedition in your country, the woman named Gloria Arroyo, surreptitiously
barged into the White House, into Dubya Bush hands.
your predecessor, the poor fellow offered no resistance. in fact, he offered the usurper a seat in the Oval Office!
that seat must be removed and replaced. better yet, burn it. at the least, it must be exorcised for it carries the baddest of the bad omen coming from an illegal leader.
minute details should be taken to review the path she had taken around the House, as well as her legions of sycophant- devils, otherwise known as entourage. that too, must vetted by the shamans and spiritualists.
lastly, please do NOT ever make a crime of inviting her to the White House.
make heed, Mr. President. an exciting but mainly peaceful, and serene presidency awaits you, if you will.
i wish you, your lovely wife, Michelle, and your bubbly kids, Maila and Sasha, the best of luck.
munting opinyon ko lamang
katatapos ko lang mapanood ang speech ni us pres. elect obama at akoy lalong napahanga-visionary, may unifying factor, balanse at siguradong isa sa magaling na pangulo ng US, makikita mo sa kaniyang pananalita ang leadership at wisdom at siguro ay napansin nyo rin kung gaano ka-emosyonal ang mga nakinig at nanood.ramdam ang sinsiridad at punong-puno ng pag-asa at kahandaang tumulong para sa pagbabago at muling pagbangon ng US.
kakabilib, ang boses at boto pa rin ng tao ang pinakamahalagang sandata laban sa palalo at mapang-abusong pamunuan.
naalala ko tuloy nung nag speech si gloria after the unconstitutional removal of estrada 2001-walang dating, hindi seryoso at alam mong hindi kapani-paniwala.
ang bilis ng resulta, samantalang sa pinas dinadaya na sa polling station dinadaya pa sa comelec at dinadaya pa sa electoral tribunal ng congress.
sana maging daan ito sa mga pilipino na may pag-asa pa ang ating bansa na magkaroon ng isang lider na katulad ni obama, kaya nga hanggat maaga we nid to inform the filipino people the importance of choosing the head of our govt come 2010(at sanay may eleksiyon)
after glorias regime may magandang bukas pa ring naghihintay sa pilipino, magtiwala, magdasal at sama-samang magkaisa at magtulungan upang labanan ang korupsiyon ng malacanang mafia at arroyo corrupt-poration.
mabuhay ka pilipino!
GMA : Hello…hello…!!!…Garci..!
Garci: Yes mam!
GMA : Diba nasa Washington ka, bakit sumablay?
Garci: May bantay po mam, si TC
GMA : Sinong TC? Toney Cuevas?
Garci : Hindi po mam, si Tita Corry!
Nagising na ang kabataan ng America; ang mga dating hindi sumisipot sa halalan. Nakita niyo ba ang mga batang Puti sa mga victory rally? Kailan kaya magigising ang kabataang Pinoy? Sila pa naman ang mga anak ng mga bayani sa EDSA – yung mga batang humarap sa mga tangke ni Macoy. (Isa lang yan; peke ang dos).
Nawala na ang takot sa kakaiba sa America; di ba’t ang sabi ay kakaiba daw si Obama? Dahil Itim, taga Africa ang Tatay, at ang pangalawang pangalan ay Hussein? Kailan kaya mawawala ang prejudice sa Pilipinas, laban sa mga hindi tapos sa sosyal na paaralan? Hindi ba’t yan ang ayaw nila kay Erap, at nung huli, kay FPJ? Mas minatamis pa nilang ihalal muli ang magnanakaw, kaysa iluklok ang isang abang artista lamang.
Totoo, dinaya si FPJ. Ngunit nadaya dahil maliit ang lamang. Tiyak na may dayaan din sa halalan para kay Erap, ngunit nahirapang kainin ang lamang dahil napakalaki.
Maraming ayaw sa impeachment dahil magkakaroon ng “equity of the incumbent” (lamang sa susunod na halalan ang nakaluklok) daw si Noli de Castro. Sa katunayan, ayaw lang nila ng isang pang-masa ulit. Equity of the incumbent? Hindi ba’t mayroon niyan ang tatay ng magnanakaw? Ngunit natalo pa rin ni Macoy. Hindi ba’t may equity rin si Macoy? Ngunit natalo ni Cory.
Matagal ang tulog ng kabataan ng America dahil mahimbing ang tulog ng hinehele ng kayamanan. Ano naman kaya ang dahilan ng mahimbing na tulog ng Pinoy? Ito kaya ay takot sa katotohanan ng kahirapan, kung kaya’t pumipikit na lamang? Bakit hindi bumangon at palitan ang katotohanan tulad ng ginawa ng mga puting kabataan ng America?
Hoy gising.
Tilamsik: Are you having a great time?
A well deserve congratulation to both Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin for their veracity during the campaign and an honorable great struggle for the safety and the future of an undivided America. They’ll both be remembered for their resolve and dedication to bring about equality and opportunities for all citizens of America.
May god bless you and I wish you both good health and for great many years to come.
To: Governor Sarah Palin YEAR 2012 is just four years away, it will be here before you can blink your eyes. Your greatness know no bounds and America needs you.
CONGRATULATIONS SENATOR JOHN McCAIN AND GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN!
GMA: What is the situation Garci?
Garci: Mam the whole world is rejoicing, McCain concedes, Bush concedes, our good friend Cocoy concedes, isa na lang po ang away mag concede!
GMA: Sino?
Garci: Si TC
GMA: TC who? Toney Cuevas?
Garci: Tito Vic & Choey!
America fasten your seatbelt, it’s going to be a long rough difficult four years with inexperience individual at the helm…The great beauty of American system, any native americans could be president even without even sufficient resume to do the job, all it takes is awfully plenty of dough and mainstream medias on your side.
And spreading wealth is nothing but, just another political words for buying votes! America just elected a socialist!
Tilamsik: Yes, you’re enjoying yourself. I’m thrilled that I can contribute personally to your jubilation.
Congratulations to all Obama supporters. To my fellow Republican pinoys, we have come this far . This is nothing compared to how we took the process of evolving ourselves from day one in America. We can only move on.
It’s not about winning but Governing. It’s only the beginning for many to live up to their ideals of Change.
God Bless
GMA: Heloooo…. Garciii..!!
Garci: yesh Mam hik

Lolo: Halika aking apo!
Apo: No po yon lolo?
Lolo: Apo ko, ang pagtanggap ng pagkatalo ay tatak ng isang marangal at tunay na lalaki. Ang paggalang sa kagustuhan ng nakararami ay siyang sagradong diwa ng Demokrasya.
Apo: Salamat po lolo.
Sabi sa dyaro, the Filipinos awed at the speed of the US elections knowing the results of the election before the night is over. Mas matindi sa Pilipinas. In 2004, alam na agad ni gloria ang lamang nya kay FPJ is over 1M votes. -Joeseg (I imported this from CD//chi)
Rose:
Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, HI, the 50th state of the US of A. So, he is as American as any natural-born American in continental USA. It was the father who was a foreigner from Kenya.
The best thing to do now is write to Barack Obama re the Dorobo, and warn him about doing a Bush with her. Meanwhile, watch out for Bush’s last 100 days in the White House. Marami pang milagrong gagawin ang ungas, no doubt!
Truth is comparing Obama with McCain re the latter’s Vietnam experience is most unfair because Barack was in fact just about 6 years old when the US invaded Vietnam ala-Iraq. He was not qualified for then compulsory draft. Otherwise, if he were 18 and above, he could have gone to Vietnam, too, with no father to help him get an exemption the way Dubya was saved from serving in Vietnam.
There are always two types of people: One who could argue sensibly and logically while another who reacts emotionally and angrily. Cocoy fits the first while Toney the second.
In a basketball game, a very strong team is expected to win over the much weaker team unless two things happen: The strong team throws away the game or gets cheated; and the other team applies dirty tricks and dangerous foul to win. In this fight between McCain and Obama, McCain’s camp did all it could by applying all the dirty tactics to win. For instance, during the election day itself, a nasty paper ad was circulated in Florida where a large Cuban population is concentrated. It alleged that Cuba’s President Fidel Castro endorsed Obama. Not only that, McCain’s group had been spreading wild rumors that Venezuela’s Chavez wanted Obama to win.
One thing admirable about the US election is their sportsmanship. The counting was not over yet, and McCain immediately conceded. In the Philippines, there would be killing and protests even long after the election is over.
McCain admitted it was his mistake. We don’t know what he was referring to. Maybe one of his mistakes was picking Sarah Palin who acted as attack dog all throughout the campaign.
We could see the same thing happens in 2010. Any candidate from Malacanang would suffer the same fate as McCain. But then, the Evil Bitch is evil…very evil who will resort all the dirtiest trick in the world to make her candidate win. There might be no election at all.
Do you know what the Evil Bitch would tell Obama? “Mr. President, I supported you. I told my people to support you.”
Obama replies: “Oh yea…get away you evil bitch!”
I’m sure the Evil Bitch will attend Obama’s inauguration on January 20, 2009.
There are three major reasons for the impressive Obama-Biden win:
1) The disapproval of the Bush Administration policies on the economy and on the war on Iraq, thereby strengthening Obama’s call for change and a new direction;
2) Obama with his eloquence, got his message through, besting John McCain in their three presidential debates.
3) Obama had a well-organized campaign from the Internet to the door to door and telephone campaign supported by a huge campaign fund chest, mostly raised through small contributions via the Internet. His efficient organization got blacks and young voters to vote.
These have important lessons for the candidates in the 2010 Philippine elections.
First. Being identified with GMA will be a kiss of death and defeat.
Second. Candidates must be able to communicate effectively with the voters. Of the nine presidentiables being floated, six of them are poor speakers.
Third. If you don’t have enough campaign funds, forget it, don’t run.
Grizzy, McCain used his Vietnam war experience all throughout his campaign as if he had no other credentials. That partly caused his defeat. We only had to read the opinions and arguments given by some pro-McCain bloggers here to determine McCain has lost long time ago. The election was just a formality.

Enrile said the Philippines should brace for its own Obama.
“I think we’re going to have also our Barack Obama in the Philippines. He’s my friend. I have marked him. I will tell you, I will tell you one day. You look around, he is around,” he said but declined to give a name.
Wala lang magawa.. hehehe 😛
How can we look for our own Obama as Enrile suggested when there’s no politician who has African blood? Makati Mayor Binay? He’s Aeta.
Even the rabidly pro-John McCain FOX News Network has said that the last nail on the Republican coffin had been hammered in, thanks to a 20-year-old college student who had falsely claimed that a black man had robbed her and beaten her up, then scratched a ‘B’ on her face after seeing a McCain sticker on her car.
The racial overtones were just too obvious to deny. A big, black man had terrorized and scarred an innocent, white girl.
Without bothering to check the facts, McCain’s communications director released a version of the incident that would have done the Ku Klux Klan proud. When the tale of the mugging began to unravel, McCain did and said nothing.
The leftist agenda will now focus more on redirecting the rightist agenda back to the center. The democratic party will have a big challenge on how to implement it’s nationalistic/protectionist agenda at this time of crisis with unemployment rising. This is Obama’s problem not ours.
But we all know, Obama’s foreign policies and securities are less favored by majority.
On Barack Obama and the Future of Asia
The Relationship of US and China is a partnership started on trade, commercial and economic.
The relationship between US and Japan is more broad and comprehensive. It is based on security, economic, cultural and social ties.
In regards to Philippines, we will probably have to reevaluate our role with APEC and WHO
These two governing bodies are also independent from the World Bank
and the IMF
My question would be, how does Obama implement its CHANGE, a leftist agenda, without causing too much imbalance to those established organizations?
What policies, sanctions and qoutas that our government must maintain and prepare strategies beneficial to our country?
In my opinion, we will go back to basic. Buy our own and achieve national sufficiency. We must elect a president that will clearly define our economic goals within our country FIRST.
Remittances will continue 🙂
I just watch Sen McCain’s concession speech on youtube. I can only say, that it was a wonderful speech, a great speech even. Wish everyone on both sides of the political divide should listen to his speech and learn a thing or two about humility and of being a great statesman.

@bitchevil : “How can we look for our own Obama as Enrile suggested when there’s no politician who has African blood? Makati Mayor Binay? He’s Aeta.”
be,
I don’t think Enrile is referring to someone with African blood. My guess is, he is pointing to someone who is also young and an eloquent speaker like Obama.
Enrile is in a near-death experience, hallucinating.
“I think we’re going to have also our Barack Obama in the Philippines. ” Enrile.
Young, articulate, and eloquent – marami niyan sa Pilipinas ngayon. Kahit na noong 60s pa, marami sila – yung mga nagmamalaking veterano ng First Quarter Storm.
Kaya lang, they also qualify for the description of Mayor Arsenio Lacson – so young and so corrupt.
Natuwa ako sa poste mo, atty.
I was just kidding, Mike. Maybe Enrile was referring to Chiz Escudero. Definitely, not Bong Revilla or Jinggoy.
Oh you think it was Chiz who Enrile is referring to? I thought it was Lito Lapid. Hehehe 😀
Lito Lapid is also eloquent…eloquent in bed.
