011 - national elections rambling

[tininess]

Election is almost upon us. I've already told my friends and family about this man, so now it's time to eljay -- yay!!!
< ramble >

I don't want another People Power. And I certainly don't like a Presidentiable endorsing it as if People Power belongs to his family or it's the solution to some political problems. We have taken down 2 governments with that miracle. Jeezus, haven't we had enough already?we need to build something good. And for that we need the best man/woman for the job.

I don't want a President who keeps talking about ideals, but has done nothing. I don't want a President who is a businessman at heart. I don't want a President who has already tasted Presidency, but misused his powers. I don't want a President who believes spirituality or the belief in God will solve all of our problems. I don't want a President who believes too much in himself and has occasionally stopped respecting people. I don't want a President who is a good man at the core, but is untried in governance.

I'm rooting for the Guy who:

1. quietly did his very difficult job, never made a show out of it and never pointed fingers even when people deemed him a scapegoat
(he was NDCC charman when Ondoy/Ketsana hit. It's not his fault if this country does not have enough calamity funds or the weather got funky.)
He swam the 'sea of garbage' just to get to his office + there was zero posturing during rescue operations.

2. has never thrown mud at anyone in his bid for presidency
(Green Campaigning/Positive Campaigning.)

3. admitted he made mistakes and moved on/believes in studying and thinking about it before giving an opinion
(Facebook Q&A)

4. broke free from the powerful politician who mentored him and "owned" him
(he is a Conjuangco and he left Danding Cojuangco to be his own man)

5. has his eyes on this country and not on the clouds
(believes that there must be ideals, but there must be workable implementation of those ideals / intelligent enough to understand and solve problems and it's manifestations)

6. has been tried in legislation/the executive branch
(started out as a congressman, then was appointed as a executive secretary) bills he authored so we know he wasn't sleeping in congress.

7. believes he is one man, he needs other people's help and he needs to listen to them


8. Is really good looking (and has a hot wife)

This man is not the perfect Presidentiable (damn that big tie to GMA). But with all the mudslinging and the self-entitlement going around, he remained humble. Even his opponents have good things to say about him. So, idk. Seems that G1BO for President is logical.

So, guys, let your family know more about this man.
