		<description>This post&#039;s for the blog you share with JNery. How do I find it? 

What do you mean by, which letter comes close to my opinion? Both of them are just what I ordered. I know I can always rely on my Sancho Panchas from De la Salle and Ateneo. I, poor Quixote, am ready to do battle as soon as they can untie and harness my speedy carabao. Be quick and ready with my dull bolo my loyal vassals. Never mind that itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s rusty with non-use. Set aside NCAA or UAAP. We have windmills to tear down. 
No, I think they are not windmills. Windmills are good and beautiful. They are bad and ugly. They are the cyclone that wrought havoc on Myanmar and the tsunami that nearly obliterated Thailand. But then again, I have to apologize to those acts of God. Comparatively, they are not really that destructive. As ERAP would say, they just passed away. Our monsters just wouldnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t!
And now they are readying for another wallop. This time they call it federalism. At a time when we are busy trying to get those pests off our shoulders, they are poised to add 46 more Senators and 100 more Congressmen! And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Imagine the staggering cost of 11 new bureaucracies. Imagine the locusts that will fill it up! All for what? 
To defang Imperial ManilaÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ to distribute wealth power more equitablyÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ to multiply and disperse more growth areasÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ and to make peace with separatists by giving them a governments of their own! Ganoon nga ba Ã¢â‚¬Ëœyon? I have news for them, especially Senator Pimentel, the father of local autonomy. There is nothing that federalism can do that local autonomy canÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t do better. Actually, local autonomy is federalism without its costs and unwieldiness. 

Does this fit into the lettersÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ motherhood statements? I wish CDCP sees me standing up to answer its call for communal action. But I have to sit down for now. My arthritis is killing me. Anyway, I think the bishops have discarded that God inspired letter.</description>

		<description>If Obama wins as the presidential democratic candidate, all votes for Hillary might go to McCain. 

If Hillary will represent the democratic party, she may  have a chance to win over McCain but Bill, her husband may run the country like Philippines in terms of decision making. 
I believe, Hillary will cut the budget for healthcare ( change to Universal healthcare)and cut the budget for international security. Just like what Clinton did during his terms. He was credited due to budget surplus but it created a big laxity of border security ,giving easy access to terrorist attack. 

Bush clean up his mess by putting more people back to the security work force including airport equipments, immigrations and many more. The Budget surplus was not enough to even repair the total damage. And there&#039;s Greenspan with his low interest rates during the Seller&#039;s real estate market. 

In terms of Iraq, US needs oil. Just like China wants a piece of our Spratley&#039;s. The demand of oil is high at least in the next coming years. After that, the economy may repait by itself at least for the US money system. When the dollar is low, it attracts foreign investor to invest in the US, an increase of money supply may be created. 
I was in Vegas for a week. Almost every table of blackjack or poker has a Canadian tourist. Most of them  said... the US dollar is low and it&#039;s cheaper to visit the USA. Same thing in Disneyworld... Orlando is packed with tourists from all over the world. The hotel and restaurant industries are making little profit but employment in these sector have increased. It helps employ the unemployed people in the real estate and mortgage industry. The dollar may slowly continue to slide upward and Hillary will take the credit of stabilizing the economy if she wins. If not, then McCain is a better president than Bush.

just my opinion, i do remember someone said that the economy will repair by itself at least every 10 years.</description>

		<description>Even if it appears that she won&#039;t get it, I still believe that Hillary Clinton is the better candidate and the one that the Democrats should field against McCain.</description>

		<description>Bencard:  Last September, 2007,  Israel destroyed a building in Syria.  Syrian President Bashar Assad has said Israel bombed an &quot;unused military building&quot; in the Sept. 6 raid. Israel has been extremely secretive about the affair, but the understanding is that Israeli aircraft attacked a partially-built nuclear reactor (about 3 years away from completion) deep inside Syria.

----------------
Barack Obama did not protest at all, either because he agreed with the pre-emptive strike or because he was not following the news.</description>

		<description>upn, your perception makes sense but if there is papable evidence that iran is arming itself for all-out annihilation of americans and/or the israelis (as when nuclear warheads are deployed against either or both nations), don&#039;t you think  u.s is justified in preempting such a &quot;mass-murder action&quot; by pulverizing it? true to his words, obama might insist on &quot;negotiating&quot; first and then reacting after it happens a la 9/11. i&#039;m sure the far left of the democratic party under obama will not allow preemption at any cost, and with the help of the unsympathetic u.n., can effectively prevent such a move.</description>

		<description>to MangKiko:

My perception is that the USA will respond to a &lt;i&gt;threat from Iran&lt;/i&gt; differently from how Bush responded to (the thought of a) WMD-threat from Saddam.   One of the reasons --- that the Iranian citizens do not want the US (or any other nation) to &quot;free them&quot; from their current rulers.  

However, if a mass-murder action against USA is traced to the Iranian government, then I believe that the US will swiftly topple that Iranian government (no matter what China or the United Nations says).  I believe that this (to topple any government that supports a mass-murder terrorist action against US) will be done be it Obama, McCain or Hillary as next US president.</description>

		<description>dude (or whatever), by the manner in which you distort my post, i think i know who you are. i&#039;ve dealt with you before and i concluded that you are not worthy of any decent discussion. nothing has changed as far as that is concerned.  go and debate with your cohorts with same 5-year old child&#039;s intelligence as yours.</description>

		<description>yes read back your post bec you still have not justified your atrocious comparison of obama with hitler. by your own standards, thatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s a shameful ad hominem. 

the claim that the other two contenders are ready from day one is not even original. pls have the decency to make attribution. you admit itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s a waste of your time to bother knowing about obama, and now that i told you about him,  you now say that you know his achievements after all. great!

you still have explaining to do about what is meant by appeasement. youÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re sure you know want Ã¢â‚¬Ëœa man for all seasonsÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ means? clue, thatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s what distinguishes obama from your girl hilary and john mccain. and thatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s what the strongest nation of the world needs for a leader to if it is to regain its moral ascendancy in the wotrld.</description>
