Given the “weights” people seem to be using to vote, my forecast is that the results are going to turn out as predicted. And while it does<\/em> dishearten me, I guess I’ll have to accept it as that’s the “voice of the people” – which in turn vindicates my old claim that we really don’t deserve democracy.<\/p>\n

I just want to go on the record that if Noynoy doesn’t deliver on his promises… those who voted for him are not going to hear the end of it from me. And the next time<\/em> we talk politics, your opinions would be of considerably less significance. So your man better be the person you hope<\/em> him to be – because I’m pretty sure he’s not.<\/em> And thankfully, unlike debating the existence of God, we will<\/em> have the answer if he’s indeed the man who could “fix” our country. If your “faith” in him was just that; blind, naive faith – or if it really was based on something more substantial (which I highly doubt).<\/p>\n

In fact, just for the heck of it, I’m willing to make a bet: If Noynoy wins, and he does<\/strong> deliver – then I’ll shave my head bald.\nIf by some miracle, Gordon wins, and he doesn’t<\/strong> deliver, I’ll do the same.<\/p>\n

My only stipulation on that bet is that whatever it is Noynoy “delivers” – will be of no less caliber than what Gordon claims he<\/em> (Gordon) could accomplish.<\/p>\n

So I won’t<\/strong> be accepting the “it’ll take time”<\/em> or “it’s not as easy as it sounds,”<\/em> or even the “we can’t expect that drastic a change in such a short period”<\/em> types of excuses for an answer. Because I know our man would never cop out to answers like that – he never had to and still got results – why should he start now? You said your man can turn this country around, then I will expect of him no less than what I am expecting of my<\/em> candidate. I will want to see concrete end-results – not just “in-progress” shit.<\/p>\n

You know why us people from Gordon’s camp are so “confident” about these kinds of claims even if they’re still in the realm of suppositions? 1 <\/sup><\/a>After all, a president hasn’t been elected yet.<\/span><\/span>
