God, Gore looks like absolute hell! He almost makes Kerry look like Cary Grant.
It is interesting that those of Filipino ancestry are trending pro-Bush. My guess is there's a pro-military and pro-Catholic connection.
Hawaii recently "flipped" and elected a Republican governor. Why wouldn't they "flip" and vote for a Republican president, when they are sitting out there all alone in the Pacific, a natural target for terrorists?
Hawaiians aren't stupid.
Just think that this beast came within about 600 votes of being President. Although, I am confident of a comfortable Bush victory, the thought that Americans almost put this mega manic in the White House does give me some concern.
Even worse they have 2 senators just like em.
"Why the change in political thinking by the Filipinos?"
I would imagine that part of the answer is because of all the Muslim terrorists in the Philippines. They may also be more for free enterprise and traditional values too.
We were stationed there for 3 years and lived on the side of the island with the heavy Filipino population. I think it might go for Bush. For one thing, while we were there, people were sick of the corrupt Democratic machine that had run the island so long. The economy was seriously depressed there thanks to Cayetano. One thing that struck me was the large evangelical population there. Also, the Filipino women I was friends with were very religious Catholics. Hawaiians are really laid back and the most warm and friendly people you could meet and I don't think Kerry will go over well with them if the economy is good there. Ohana (family) is very much valued there and those people will be Bush folks. And I haven't even mentioned the military there. Lots of military retire there as well because of Tripler Army Hospital (best hospital on earth and the best staff..saved my baby's life). I wonder if the large Japanese population will vote with Bush given that Japan has been a staunch ally in the war on terror. Keep in mind also that there is a large Mormon ministery there and I think that would have to have an influence for Bush.
Well, that's about as close to a lei as he is going to get...
Abercrombie truly is barfy. Seeing him on national TV even once (I forget on what issue) was exceedingly embarrassing.
I have no idea why people here vote for him. I think it may have something to do with name recognition.
If key Democratic politicians are staying away, they must know something through the grapevine. I guess these Democratic Politicians dont subscribe to Zogby polling.
All of them.
The Filipinos have some experience with Islamofascist terrorism.
Missed that. Few people?
Abercrombie is a Hippy Communist from the sixties. He will probably win again but damn, I hope we can finally get rid of that pig.
Seems to me that the WOT and the economy should be right up front for the people of Hawaii. With the tax cuts they have more money to spend, and more importantly, so do most Americans who love to go to Hawaii on vacation.
My message to the "manongs" (elder brothers) in Hawaii is "saanyo yo nga votosan ni Kerry" (don't vote for Kerry). "No adda computer yo, visitaen yo man (if you have a computer please visit) "http://www.stolenhonor.com.

I was stationed at Hickam AFB from 1969 through 1972 and the scuzzy commie hippie Neil Abnercrombie was a real pain in the okole with his Kerry-like demonstations and disruptions. I was really astounded when that dirt bag got elected to Congress. Would love to see him get beated in the next election.
