My cousins live in Hawaii and for the life of me I can’t figure them out LOL!
stoners always vote for social programs
Stuck on liberal stupid. At least Hawaii has nice beaches.
Rhode Island best rethinl their love affair with job killing Dems.
I think most native Hawaiians agree. They have never been happy being part of the U.S.
Seems remarkable that Lingle ever got elected governor. They say she wants to run for the Senate in 2012. I wonder if she would have a shot if Akaka retires. He is 86, like Inouye?? I can’t believe guys that old want to continue running.
It is a shame a good guy like Djou got beaten just because he has an R after his name. The closed mindedness is amazing.
Should have never been a state.
I think the only reason it became one was because of Pearl Harbor.
Should have been at most a commonwealth like PR.
At least Inouye is still in good shape. Akaka was senile when he ran last time (and won). And Patsy Mink was brain dead through most of her last election, fully dead by the time they voted her back into office. Hawaii is a strange place (but if you overlook the politics, it really is a wonderful place).
Hard to say if Lingle has a chance for senator right now. The unions and the legislature opposed absolutely everything she did, even issues where they agreed in principle. Thus they can run on “Lingle’s fault nothing got done.” Unfortunately, a lot of people fall for that.
“have never been happy being part of the U.S.” I’m sure they like the H3 and other goodies they have gotten!
Urban myth. If I were too lazy to do anything productive and had to be poor and homeless, I'd want to go to Hawaii where the climate is comfortable year round and the welfare is generous. If other states were willing to spring for one way tickets to Hawaii for their indigents, Hawaii's population would quickly balloon and every plane would be full coming in and empty going out.
Actually, in the MA Senate, the GOP has now dropped to 4 out of 40 seats, so that is 90% Democrat. It is offset as a percentage by the fact the GOP doubled their numbers in the House from 16 to 32 out of 160, from 90% to 80%, but that’s still an obscene margin for a state that doesn’t vote that Democrat as a whole (nor has party registration that lopsided, either).
No, the undercurrent is very much racial historically: the big white business owner plantation mentality is the only reason these people have black-balled Republicans. Teh50s revolution was entirely racial and has carried forward for generations since exactly along racial lines.
Absolutely!
We can do very nicely with 49 states...very nicely indeed.
