We now have two candidates in the presidential race. Which one of these two do you think is best fit for the job of moving Liberia forward and why?

Guest

I will choose weah. My vote will never go to Ellen.

Our leaders have failed us, exploited us and have left the whole system ruined with their corruption, looting, greed, wickedness, mismanagement and lack of good administrative qualification and abilities. This will not stop until we Liberians ask ourselves how much longer are these people going to use us.

How can Ellen claimed she stood for social Justice all her life. When she gave Taylor order to level monrovia, at the time monrovia were full of innocent citizens. Today she wants the votes of those innocent people.

I laugh when I read about people who commend Ellen for her Social justice she stood for. Ellen is a corrupt leaders and political office occupants.

100% of Liberian problem came from Ellen. If Ellen just leave Liberia alone Liberia will be a better country. She just a power hunger. Ellen sent the late Thomas Quiwonkpa for her power hunger and later free charles taylor from prison through former president Clinton wife. A former classmate for Ellen. Taylor was right to betrayed Ellen he cannot be exposed to the world as a rebel leader and later turn his struggle over to Ellen. That will be a crazy thing to do.

Ellen power is given by God, Liberian people donnot want to ellect you today and tommorrow you join charles taylor in sierra leone for war crime against humanity. Surely taylor will call your name. You sent him.

Ellen is blocking electricity and water from the Liberian people. There are lots of company out there wants to help Liberia bring back electricity and water. Weah will be the only person Ellen cannot block from bringing water and electricity to our people. Because Weah in well known in europe. France , Italy, Monaco are all willing to help Liberia restore electricity and water.

So, grand mom please stay away from the Liberian people.

I'm actually standing on the fence with regards to the two candidates. Has any of the two acutually outlined their plan of action if they should have won the elections. WHAT CAN I OFFER AND DETAILED HOW. That is what wanna be presidents do.I believe no. Even if so, then it was very vague because many people would have made up their minds about either of the two instead of casting their votes around as they did in the just contested elections. Weren't these two candidates the most talked about prior to the election. "HELLO" Confused

At this particular point in the history of this great republic, I think it is wise to forge ahead leaving the past to take care of itself. There is no way we are ever going to have national reconciliation if we are not ready and willing to forgive and forget the past.

Forgeting the past, I will give my vote to Madam Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, taking into consideration her level of achievement; work and education. I will give my vote to her knowing with all my heart that she is going to move Liberia forward with her current platform and her dedication to fairness.

Forgeting the past, I WILL NOT VOTE FOR WEAH. He is not fit to be president of the Student Council Government at the University of Liberia because he does not have a WAEC certificate and as such he cannot attend the university, therefore he is disqualified. He is not qualified to be President of Liberia because he cannot take the Civil Service exam without a high school diploma or WAEC certificate. I am more qualified than he and because I love Liberia more, and know that i cannot rule a nation on love alone, I'm giving my vote to Ellen.

Taking into consideration the past, I will still give my vote to Madam Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. I agree that she helped bring Charles Taylor and the war into Liberia, but we should not all forget the reason behind the cause. Behind Madam Sirleaf, we find people with unquestionable characters. Good people, people with the nation at heart.

Taking into consideration the past, I still will not vote for Weah. I agree that he played soccer very well and brought pride to Liberia. But he didn't love himself well enough to get an education with all the money he got for soccer. Behind Oppong, we find people with questionable characters, muderers, killers etc. Why should we only look at the mask (Oppong) and not the face behind the mask (George Dweh, Prince Johnson, Damante Conneh, Aldophus Dolo and a bunch of other murderers)?

Please Liberians, whatever we do, whether we want to forget the past or remember the past, let us not put our future in the hands of people without hearts. Let us shine our eyes and vote for Madam Sirleaf, SHE is our FUTURE!

What are you saying here TrueP

Do you want the Liberian people to forget about Ellen past? I guest Not.

Why talk about Weah past live then. Look! let us be fair to one another here. Weah is not educated we all know that. But, equally so Ellen is a wicked lady who wanted to level the monrovians. The same people she wants to rule today.

Ellen will never and ever gain supports from monrovians because of level statement on BBC.

One thing you should know there will be NO peace in Liberia if Ellen wins.

The controversy about George Weah and Ellen Johnson has been one of the major discussions among Liberians here in the United States.
I believe Liberia is at the bridge at this point in our history. The choices we make today will live with us tomorrow. Are we going to elect someone who we know can represent the nation in the international community and make sound judgement on international issues, or someone who has all the riches and fame in the world.
The question here is, what do we want at this moment? After 14 years of war, the debri of atrocities that seem unrepairable are yet to be erradicated from the country. The high illiterecy rate, limited healthcare facilities, deserted infrastructures and residence are all some of the many problems that need immediate attention at this point in time.
How can we solve some or all of these problems? Can this be done by international representation or by wealth and fame? The choice is in our hands. Again let us remember the choices we make today will impact our tomorrow.

Ellen Johnson is the chief of staff of all the witches that brough destruction to Liberia. I wouldn't even allow her to smell my because she is not worthy.
I rather vote for George Weah.
George Weah is a true patroit.
Why would Ellen want to president for a place she said the Rebels should destoy during the heat of the war?
Those of you who talking about voting for Ellen better pull your heads out of your and reason.
Bunch of Witches
Good luck to George Weah
Ellen can kiss my black if she want fogiveness.
Screw that and all her demons.

Thank you Son of the Soil. You have spoken well, it is about time Liberians stop personalizing politics and look soundly at the issues on ground. Our future is at stake and all they are thinking about is who did what. We are ready to forgive all those killers behind Weah but not Ellen, is it her level of education and her hatred for corruption we are afraid of? Are we going to sell Liberia short for personal gains? We have two different kinds of evil in the race now, it is about time we choose the lesser of the two evils.

So true, the future of Liberia is undoubtly at stake. Although I don't know what you really mean by the two different evils, my interpretation is the evils of illiteracy and education. If given the choice of choosing between the two, I would rather go for the latter than the former given this age of globalisation. Given Madam Johnson's experience, qualifications, and achievements, she stands insurmountable. It is appalling actually when comparisms are made between the two. Nevertheless, it is the votes of the masses that will count but do the masses who are put at 80% illiterates comprehend the implications of choosing a leader? A leader who is capable of representing Liberia in this global village. A leader who is not going to take the trial and error method of doing things. With our country's present state, we cannot accommodate an apprentice or someone to be schooled on the job. What a predicament? OUR FUTURE IS UNDOUBTLY AT STAKE!!! What some of us are dreading might actually become a reality. Meanwhile, we are holding our breaths.

I think we should all agree to express our views without profanity.

Secondly, there's all this talk of "past", but that's something Mr. Weah does not have; he has no past political experience. His running mates do though, and they are alot worse than Ms Sirleaf.
Because of Mr Weah's lack of experience, that leaves him open to "other" people's influence. Basically a puppet. And I don't know about the rest of y'all but I'll take someone with some "bad" experiences anyday over a puppet.
Because Mr. Weah is another Samuel K Doe in the making. And that's what we DON'T need. I think what we as Liberians need to do is to learn from our past. Let's wise up people!

Rinabear07 I'm siding with you on this. We all need to express our views in a perfect manner not to insult on this forums.

soShiny please let us express our views in a good manner. The webmasters are doing a great job on this site for us to turn this site into a boxing or hate forums. These guys trying to unite us on this site not to divide us.

Thanks to both of you genius for your suggestions.
Both of you can tear it up and stick it up in your back pocket.

That's very mature soShiny.

SoShiny, I think I have to agree with what one poster said about your views on this same topic on another post. YOU NEED A SHRINK.

About who wins this election, let's leave it with the voters, they have spoken. Their voice is slowly getting audible and I think I hear them cry ELLEN FOR PRESIDENT!

Let it be, time will tell!
