Will you VOTE for Dick Gordon as RP President?

[badsekktor]

bro, i think it was a toss up between the two. me mga days na lamang si gma, meron naman si fpj. gaya nga nung sabi mo na fpj wasn't liked by many because of the lack of credentials, they may have voted for gma instead as a lesser-evil vote kesa manalo si fpj.

maybe pero after 4 yrs experiencing bad things under her administration, I'm really surprised why other candidates cannot pull the numbers.

and that is what is called "democracy".

the sad part of it is that in democracy, majority wins..... and if the majority is uninformed.... well we all know the consequences....

but that's the thing, bro. we should NOT be thinking that we only have the "lesser-evil vote" choice because we do, in fact, have the chance to practice our duty and power to choose our leader as we see fit. Point is, there is a better choice than the lesser-evil choice.

well we should better explain that to the majority of the voters.... unless we could unify the informed ones.... we would always lose to the uninformed.... its the price of democracy....

di ba nangyari tong pag-admit after that election na?

:cheers:

hmmm as i recall nagsabi si GMA ng "I Lied" speech niya nung magsabi siya na tatakbo siya sa pagka-pangulo di ba?

well, majority perceived GMA as the lesser evil since FPJ has connections with erap, who in the minds of filipinos is tagged as greater evil.

I agree.... Filipinos fear that Erap will go scott free if FPJ won..... I guess it didnt matter if FPJ won or not... Erap still is free and the best part of it, he is running for the same position again! WTF!

that is why we have past records as reference. similarly, a candidate with a clean sheet record from corruption (and also has a clean sheet of achievements is a bigger gamble).

I agree with this point. Since past records are the best reference you have to evaluate a person but with the way things are happening right now we dont know which is which. Honestly, Im getting the inclination of not voting anymore since i dont think a single individual could pull things off. Noynoy might not be corrupt but his associates are and we know that by fact!

exactly why people should open their eyes. history can repeat itself after all

well it has always been repeating for our country.... only the names have changed...

why not be part of the change and educate them? most people are doing it after all. it all begins with a simple question of why.

well I always give my insights to my employees if time permits but i do let them choose for themselves. I never asked them to vote anyone just because I employ them. I always tell them to think and evaluate the candidates themselves. even if the candidates I support are my relatives, I never asked them to vote my relatives. Everything is up to them.

well, that's the consequence of our collective mistake. the real problem isn't the candidate but the voters. we get what the majority voted for.

I agree.... flaws of democracy i guess....

which is also the new social cancer. what monkey sees, monkey does. sad isn't it?

so true!

not really as it is in the same league as those you enumerated. they're subjective-based voting after all.

hahahaha! but honestly, some voters think that way! I remember way back before, we got the support of these GROs just because they have a crush with a relative. All they asked for is a kiss in the cheeks.

ofc, you can say that after that actual election but before that was a different story ;)

Well I guess I am different since I really have this feeling about GMA.... considering the fact that some of my relatives are members of LAKAS. She have this aura of shrewdness around her.... Maybe its just me.....

it's not about winning the surveys but proving them wrong. hell, I wouldn't be surprised if erap actually ends up winning and there's also a reason why he doesn't make his own surveys public ;)

well surveys are not absolute truths after all....
