One party can't win unless they stifle the vote.. seriously, when was the last time the repugs won a fair election? Not in our lifetime. The idiots couldn't win for dog catcher without a bunch of pilikia..
So again.. why do we let them participate in civil society? They are uneducated losers who impose their twisted sick morals by criminalizing everyone that doesn't lick their god's ass.
I feel so fortunate to have lived my life in democratically run states. I know Hawaii, as a government, is primitive, under developed for our modern age, and our old timers cling to their power just like any other old timer.. but OMG the alternative, where their only hope is to treat anyone unlike themselves with hostility and distain, is horrifying. Imagine having to live with the slave owner's spirit alive and well in some southern nightmare.
As to Ed Case's age and all that.. I think it's simple.. no man shall impose laws on another unless they too shall live to experience the consequences of said law. And, statistically, Ed's too old. Sure, keep the codgers around.. with emeritus status.. but otherwise it's more compassionate to help them see the need to go off into the sunset with their loved ones.. just think of all the opportunities Joe missed to hang on the lanai and enjoy those fleeting moments with his sweetheart because of his illusions of grandeur..
So yeah, keep the blood young.. flowing.. but I also think in order to be a politician one should have to divest themselves of ALL their financial endeavors.. no stocks, no business interests.. and lobbyists should be outlawed.
