Arroyo supporters want "alternatives" raw

From warrior:

i believe that as long as the opposition does not present a credible and eligible individual who will replace arroyo’s presidency then people will not join calls for her ouster no matter how hard they try to persuade them..why?

I'm not worried about alternatives warrior, because guys like Serge Osmena, Drilon, Fred Lim, Bayani Fernando, Mar Roxas, Lacson, Jun Magsaysay, Biazon and richard Gordon are much better leaders than arroyo.

as for who should replace arroyo, that's for the people to decide. that's why we need special elections, kapag natanggal na si arroyo.

because the question at the back of their minds is who will replace her? they are calling for resignation but they dont present their platform then people will come to think thats its just the same old “jonny bravo” changing of the guards.corruption will still remain plus the economic consequence they will earn in removing her…

i believe every candidate has their own platforms. i'm sure drilon, lacson, osmena, roxas, fernando etc. atbp. has their own. so i'm not worried about platforms. it would not even surprise me if there are some similitarities between the platforms of the other potential candidates and arroyo's.

But what is more important, IMO is whether the person has the legitimacy, integrity, and the credibility to lead this country, implement reforms, and heal the deep divisions within this country.

While I think most of the alternatives I listed above have the potential to be that person, I can't say the same thing with regards to Arroyo anymore.

UPDATE: I also think everybody who is opposed to Arroyo agrees on the following:

1) Arroyo should step down and we should hold special elections.
2) Clean up the COMELEC and punish those COMELEC officials (high and low) who were responsible for GLORIAGATE. I'm talking about REAL reforms, not the so-called reforms of davide, where those responsible for GLORIAGATE like ARroyo and Garci are not brought to justice.

if the opposition will win in replacing her are they going to remove the pork barrel?

hindi ba si lacson yung gustong tanggalin ang pork barrel? isa yan sa plataporma niya, hindi ba? i recall na hindi na siya tumatanggap ng pork barrel as senator.

From Pinoy:

If it is an insult to ask or demand for an alternative, how come we are not in the streets? or isn’t an an insult for those calling for Arroyo’s resignation that we are not out in the streets?

Heh. Check the names I've listed above. Even a regular guy like you or me are BETTER ALTERNATIVES than arroyo at this point.

nobody wants a cheat, a liar and a thief for president. nobody wants another a cheat, a liar and a thief to replace a cheat, a liar and a thief.

first step in solving this crisis is to get the arroyo supporters to finally admit that their idol is illegitimate and corrupt.

next step is to make her step down so we can hold special elections. i believe all the names that i have listed above are much better leaders and people than arroyo.
