Next Governor of Hawaii

[JerryCarr]

Abercrombie is a typical Hawaii Democratic machine politician who follows the party line, sometimes to the exclusion of independent thought. He may occasionally voice some support for gay issues, but his main focus is on keeping the unions and good old boys happy. As a gay person myself, I sometimes have to make the effort to look beyond the parochial, personal issues and examine the bigger picture. If we use the recent civil unions mess in the State Legislature as an example, we can see what the Democratic machine is really willing to do for us. Nothing. I would rather have someone who will at least challenge the mess that is the state government rather than someone who makes empty promises and then keeps the status quo, smiling all the while. If someone in the Democratic Party would step up and challenge the existing leadership like Ed Case did a few years ago, I might feel differently. What we see is the same old, same old. And I don't like Mufi, either. Ah, politics. FWIW, I consider myself a reform Democrat.

Cheers,
Jerry
