Hey Rick, you can continue to support the Democratic Party; the party of slavery, segregation, Jim Crow and the KKK.  Wonder why Hawaii lags behind in most indicators of economic prosperity?  Just look all around you and it's obvious from dilapidated roads and infrastructure, failing schools to maintain the status quo, criminal  price structure, and young educated locals fleeing for real opportunities in large metropolitan areas where there are professional jobs.  Half the state doesn't work and is on welfare and freebies.  Hawaii public sector unions are parasites and will eventually bankrupt the state.  Local politicians get on their hands and knees to beg D.C. for money as an economic plan.  The locals for the most part on Oahu has been herded onto a Democratic urban plantation by the one party Democratic party of Hawaii.....ignorance must be maintained to control the masses and maintain apathy and anemic growth.
