We invite Vets for Freedom to focus out here . We invite Tea Party Patriots to focus out here . Hawaii IS important , we are the front line facing Asia .

Don't forget about us !

The defeat of Charles Djou was a dissapointment. I thought he’d be able to hang on for at least one full term. It’s clear that the DemocRAT political machine still holds sway.

The GOP has always been an endangered species in Hawaii.

What is the problem, friend. Are the common people in your state as poor as West Virginia rersidents, or is it envy against the rich turistas that the common people have to serve, that from a feeling of being left behind, they turn Democratic. Please explain.

Now it’s time to start eradicating the pestilential Democrats out there by cutting off the earmarks and various defense related construction projects.

Right. Cut the spending in CA and NY first. Tell them that they need to raise their state taxes to cover their wasteful spending habits.

I don’t know how long I could live there, no matter how beautiful it is, but I do care about the people there (and in California).

Our college-aged granddaughter is planning to attend a conference in Hawaii next summer...she will get the usual liberal spiel in the conference—we just hope she gets to visit Pearl Harbor while she is there.

I think the problem is that Dems organize and communicate very well with one another , they don’t ‘in-fight’ like the Republicans do . Their elected ones DO have coat-tails and candidates avail themselves of them . Repubs do not offer any coat-tails , it’s sink or swim , on your own . And by the way , find your own funding too ! Dems have their own hero core out here : Dan Inouye foremost . So many older Japanese , Filipino and Hawaiian totally idolize him . If he says vote for so&so , they vote for so&so . The Unions are subtle , deep and powerful , as is org.crime . If they support a Dem . their rank & file fall in line. The Unions serve amazing bento feeds , they literally buy votes with lots of chow . Islanders love to eat (free!)
Hawaii Dems are Dems before and over the fact that they are Hawaiian , Filipino or any other ethnic , before they are Christians , before they are Jewish , before they are businesspersons . D comes first , period . They suffer from a collective historical myopia . Terrible past histories in their candidates records matter not at all . All that matters is that they are the current D on the ballot .

Was largely Republican? Largely?... LOL... Try a magnitude 14 quake with a tsunami for good measure.

Gee, think they would have phrased that a little differently had the roles been reversed?

Right after the Delaware primary I took a look at Hawaii. I though Cam Cavasso looked old and creepy. I preferred John Roco, even though I didn’t think he was a serious candidate.
I just thought Cam was awful. I thought that the tea party should throw in a bunch of money to Roco, not a ton, but a bunch, and get a more exciting, less gay looking, candidate in there, a young outsider who could call Inouye old, and could surf.

I hear Cam got slaughtered.

"GOP Now ‘Endangered Species’ in Hawaii: Democrats Win Big,"

"Dog bites man", is NOT news.

Maybe everyone in the CONUS who leans GOP or conservative should find another place to vacation...someplace where gloating won't matter to the people...maybe a RED state.

It was pretty bad. He lost by a 3-1 margin.

If I want to spend time cooped up on islands full of people who hate me, it’s a much shorter flight to pretty much anywhere in the Caribbean.

“If I want to spend time cooped up on islands full of people who hate me, it’s a much shorter flight to pretty much anywhere in the Caribbean.”

That attitude in Hawaii doesn’t get much publicity; if not for servicemen I know I would never have guessed they were like that. Then again, everything I know about Hawaii I learned from Magnum PI...

Last time I went over there in 2001, everyone was advised to not leave Honolulu because of all of the crime on the north end of the island. A lot of people were having stuff stolen out of their rental cars, i.e. purses, cameras.

We went on a short excursion and we approached in a McDonalds by some islander thugs, who then followed us almost back to Honolulu.

If I want to get mugged, I can go to Atlanta, about 40 miles away...I don't need to go all the way to the mid-Pacific for it.

The dems can have Hawaii, but if conservatives stop vacationing there, it might as well be Detroit.

Why don't we just GIVE Hawaii to ALL the left-wing, un-American POS', ala the penal-colony-of-yore - Australia.

One-way tickets for all, and then make it like the "Prisoner" TV series of the 60's.

Problem solved.
