Gibo's brand of politics

I will not vote for Gibo. I find it really disturbing to support somebody who has publicly announced his loyalty to GMA. There is that recognition that GMA is his maker ... because of the break that is given to him, young that he is.

But I grant Gibo that salute with the brand of politics he brings in today's politics. Gibo's loyalty is actually party loyalty. After all, he is Western-trained and there is that great deal of maturity to stick it out with the party no matter what. At the moment however, that maturity of his political game is misplaced. And for this, he's become a convenient scapegoat. He's become the perfect target for manipulation because his actions are predictable. He's the textbook product of "right politics." He'll stick it out with the party, no matter what.

And he's done a good job by it. Even if there is clear showing of his principal playing him, he can't/won't break off the script (the textbook play). That's just what they need to keep him in close observation. That way, he'll always be within the GMA play. Poor Gibo. He's rightness could just work wrongly especially in the blind following of a textbook way. Again, context is very important.

Or could I just be giving too much credit to the Western training? I'd hate to know that he's actually knowingly playing the GMA game. Sigh.
