You don’t hesitate to cease as a “politico” and to speak your mind when it matters even with respect to someone whom I believe you once admired and who is a former boss. Our country needs gutsy people like you (and DJB and Hillblogger too).Abe N.

Or come to think of it, take out all those in public office now and lets have new batch. <BR/><BR/>But let's elect the President and Vice directly and yes let's have a nationally elected Senate who can look over the House of District Representatives.<BR/><BR/>MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!Bernardo F.

I did not agree with his philosophy, but it was at least morally consistent with its arithmetic foundation. <BR/><BR/>BTW, I agree with him on ConCon. And he had an even better reason than me for opposing it: we cannot punish the Concon delegates, and they can do anything they want, with just a simple majority vote. <BR/><BR/>The thing about a ConCon is that because they were elected for the very purpose, there is a kind of presumption that their work will be ratified!<BR/><BR/>That scare me and Teddy Boy both.<BR/><BR/>My philosophy is fundamentally conservative where his is fundamentally liberal.<BR/><BR/>I don't want any change in the Constitution until we can make it work the way we know it can work.Deany Bocobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443168826029321831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1165999982448694912006-12-13T16:53:00.000+08:002006-12-13T16:53:00.000+08:00I'm very disappointed in my former boss. he said h...I'm very disappointed in my former boss. he said he also opposes a con-con because it will be filled with "third rate" delegates.mlq3https://www.blogger.com/profile/07311749590012410086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1165959462491640462006-12-13T05:37:00.000+08:002006-12-13T05:37:00.000+08:00What I don't like is the arrogance and the chip on...What I don't like is the arrogance and the chip on the shoulder of the people who think that they are more intelligent than others and all the others are idiots and are not capable of choosing the right leader for the country. <BR/><BR/>Well, they chose Gloria and ousted Erap. And they were patting themselves for a while that they made a good choice. But FPJ threatened them next and they just stood by as Gloria and his cohorts threw everything at him including the kitchen sink and the toilet and CHEATED him out of being elected President.<BR/><BR/>Well, Chit Pedroza, Teddy Locsin, % Bhel Cunanan, GLORIA turned out to be a bigger idiot of a corrupt President than Erap and FPJ put together. She is your unpopular choice to be President and the masses choice are better than yours. You will never take my right to vote directly for my President and SEnators who are turning out to be really wiser and better than your unicameral congressmen.<BR/><BR/>FPJ, at least helped people from the goodness of his heart and his own pocket without fanfare and publicity. He was our choice but Gloria is yours. <BR/><BR/>If JDV, Villafuerte, Nograles, Pichay are your unicameral choice, then to hell with the Parliamentary Form. What they have done is the best argument against what you want to happen.Bernardo F.
