I am dumbfounded by dirty politics.  Kouchi, Inouye, Caldwell and all those who flip flopped their decision should be ashamed of themselves.  Tokuda has done nothing wrong but stick up for us taxpayers.  It is not over yet.  The extension must pass Luke and I am hoping she defend her fellow senator (Tokuda) in this fiasco.  Tokuda, not much we can do but we got your back come election time.  We will remember those who want your ouster.  What a sad day in politics.  No wonder we have the lowest voter turnout in the nation.  Sad and frustrating.
