There is nothing wrong with Ms. Pamela B. Blackburn donating money to the Democratic Party. If she believes in that party’s ideals of big and wasteful government, then that is her right to spend her money as she pleases.

If Ms. Blackburn supports George Miller’s agenda to federalize CNMI immigration and labor, as a Democrat from California, that is OK with me too. If Ms. Blackburn is pro-abortion or, as the Democrats call it, “pro-choice” or is pro-labor, then that is her “own business.”

Just because she is the Attorney General for a Republican administration here, which is now part of the Republican National Committee, the party of President Bush, what’s wrong with that? Nothing. You have the right to disagree with her. She puts her money where her mouth is. You can put your vote where your heart is. You can decide if you want to keep her there in her current job or not. That is the beauty of our democracy—Republican or Democrat, or even better, Independent.
