You need to tell them to moderate their greed

GMA is a mixed bag

I believe the country will have to wait out GMA, and when the time comes be very careful who it elects as the next President.

GMA has done some good things such as travelling abroad using her political capital in freeinbg some incarcerated and condemned Filipinos awaiting execution who had been working abroad.

She is staunchly pro life, and she has supended the death penalty and shown Christian compassion.

However, I am not sure it was wise to suspend the death penalty considering there are Muslim Guerillas who have beheaded Filipino troops in a muslim terrorist insurrection in the south.

And negotiating with the Muslim terrorists shows weakness, and gives them legitimacy. She should have long ago asked for American help to crush this insurrection.

She also should never have given amnesty to the various coup plotters who have been arrested, tried and found guilty.

What kind of message does that signal to future coup plotters? What in the world is President Arroyo thinking???

And just what in the world was she thinking when she pardoned the crimial Joseph Estrada who plundered billions from the poor ctizens of the Phillipines.

That decision was morally disgraceful, and showed a craven lack of resolve.

Her unwillingness to disciplone and control her crooked husband, who sems to think he is part ofa co-presidency.

Mike Arroyo seeems resolved to further tarnish her legacy.

He needs to be brought under control immediately; if that means a divorce so be it.
