I\u2019m not injecting religion but \u201chonest to God\u201d is a common saying among locals when it\u2019s enough, as many voters are now saying this about Ralph and Arnold. First Ralph loses in court against the JGO and then he still facing 13 more unlucky charges compounded by the recent FBI subpoenas in his pending RICO case and his failure to appear on the Marianas Agupa Show are all indicators or should I say omens of divine intervention and justice of things to come. When one considers all these things, I\u2019m sure even many Torres voters are thinking and saying\u2014honest to God, that\u2019s enough!<\/p>\n
The truth is, Ralph has grossly messed up and he can\u2019t turn around nor can he fix it so he is just plowing ahead thinking he is indestructible like he implies with the \u201cResilience\u201d on his signs. But after 71 years on this earth and experience with the justice system, I can tell voters with a high degree of certainty that Ralph will not beat both the state and eventual federal RICO charges.<\/p>\n
But then there is Arnold who is running solely on \u201chis name and family ties,\u201d as his statements on the Marianas Agupa Forum say a lot about why we need Tina. First, Arnold agrees with Tina on almost everything, then he says \u201cwe will give it our best shot\u201d and he even admitted his \u201cdisappointed with the many Photo Ops and projects that were never finished\u201d while he admittedly was \u201ctaking it on the chin and swallowing his pride\u201d which was his modus operandi of \u201cbeing blind-eyed and silent\u201d as the lieutenant governor. It seems he only parted ways with Ralph because it was clear that Ralph is \u201cdun\u201d as we say in my culture and he saw a chance to fill the Republicans\u2019 power vacuum that was definitely looming large\u2014an opportunist, not a leader. Nothing is going to change with Arnold and it could get even worse given he hasn\u2019t offered any real visionary plan for our economy to be rebuilt, just rebuilding trust\u2014LOL to keep from crying!<\/p>\n
Arnold is throwing political catchwords at us like \u201cequitable, fair and transparent\u201d instead of telling us what he will do. Arnold is claiming that these three political catch-words are \u201cwhat the people have been longing for,\u201d which is true, but it is also sad too many have literally already swallowed the entire bait and hook pledging to vote for the AD Team when Tina can obviously do it better. Arnold went from Rebuilding Trust to equitable, fair, and transparent but he didn\u2019t offer anything new in the forum\u2014just copied off Tina like students do in school, said one commenter. I think most voters with common sense will agree that our economy and quality of life is far more important than the political catch words that Arnold is pitching to voters. I keep reminding voters he knows how to \u201ctalk the talk but can\u2019t walk the talk\u201d.<\/p>\n
I will continue to pose the genuine question of \u201cwhat will be different or even better if Torres or Arnold wins\u201d as most people with common sense know the answer is nothing (taya) and nothing to really celebrate. Honest to God, enough of Ralph and his poli-tricking and the word-semantics games of Arnold, we the people need real leaders with the right stuff to deliver us all from the evils we face economically and socially and that\u2019s for real! Tina and Leila are obviously our best hope for better and ner after this election.\u00a0<\/p>\n
