The Democratic governor of Hawaii just lost in the primary and was replaced by a new Democratic candidate for governor with an overwhelming 66 percent of the vote even though the incumbent had the support of the president and millions in his war chest for re-election. This David vs. Goliath race in Hawaii reminded me of how David won in the Bible and what the Democrats are facing in the CNMI against the big GOP and two other candidates who are really GOP\u2014the Giant GOP vs the new and young Democrats. But like the new Democratic candidate in Hawaii, the CNMI\u2019s Democrats are the only party offering new blood and a chance at a new life for the CNMI beyond casinos. I just pray our local voters are as smart as the Hawaiians when it comes to change and improving the CNMI.<\/p>\n
The CNMI has often been reminded of Hawaii\u2019s mistakes in our efforts to change and to grow but maybe it is now time voters took note of Hawaii\u2019s electorate success and stance to seek new blood with a new, different, and better approach to governing. For over a decade we have seen one GOP\/Covenant politician after another taking turns to lead preach and profess the casino as being our only solution for almost everything. Well, we have a casino and the governor is still looking for other options, which proves the casino is not the solution as preached\u2014 just a band-aide for election purposes. I refuse to believe the majority of voters are naive enough to follow a GOP plan that does not know where we are even going to build a casino with no real revenue projections or plans for its implementation. In fact, if you read the law and compare the CNMI\u2019s revenue potential to other cities with casinos you will know for true the CNMI is getting screwed royally so do your homework voters as there is entirely tooooo much at stake to make such a big mistake in voting again!<\/p>\n
Personally, I like the chances for our David-Democrats as they are truly trying to do the right thing oppose to playing the evil politics with smoke and mirror tactics that only serve to get elected but offer nothing in the form of real solutions for the majority\u2014only retirees got help after ten years of casino talk. The devil is in the details as the GOP doesn\u2019t even have a candidate for Delegate but the GOP governor is supporting an independent Democrat for Delegate who is not even a member of the local Democratic Party\u2014heller! To make it worse and even ridiculous, Kilili is not supporting the GOP but independents Republicans\u2014 this is pure GOP and Kilili smoke and mirrors politics to get elected in our face and voters are supposed to be blind and stupid to go for this ridiculous vote soliciting trick.<\/p>\n
The story of David and Goliath has been passed down through generations to teach us all a lesson about good championing evil against the odds and those who didn\u2019t learn that lesson are doomed to repeat the same mistake that got us in the economic mess\u2014voting for a Goliath in a popularity contest when we know David is the better and right choice. So voters don\u2019t go for the GOP\u2019s slogan of \u201cWe don\u2019t need to Change\u201d which is really a repeat of \u201cLet it BE\u201d as we should have already learned that lesson. One people for new blood and a new life in the CNMI for our politics, our economy and our society\u2014vote Democrat!<\/p>\n
PS: Only in the CNMI will you find the GOP supporting a Democrat and not one of their own\u2014heller! FYI GOP, voters know for true the GOP can get far more accomplished for the CNMI by having a GOP Delegate who is a member of the GOP in the U. S. Congress than having an independent Democrat who is not on anyone\u2019s team in Congress. Kilili\u2019s caucusing with the Democrats in Congress and a GOP governor supporting an independent Democrat to get elected is a whole bag of BS politics so wake up voters or continue to look like political idiots at home and in Congress! I also told you so voters that Kilili was going to sell locals out for the CWs and he did\u2014for true as the CWs came here to work, not become citizens and voters!<\/p>\n
