Prophetic Words: Abercrombie was always a loud-mouthed hippie who had all the answers

Here are some prophetic words from former Hawaii County Councilman Bob Rosehill, originally published October, 2010.

Dear Editor,

The Democratic candidate for governor was always a loud-mouthed hippie who had all the answers. I didn't forget.

He called soldiers of my generation murderers and baby-killers. I didn't forget.

He turned his back on Hawaii and the Democratic Party by shirking his responsibilities in Congress and giving up 20 years of seniority. I didn't forget.

He took money from our kids' education for a special election (won by a Republican). I didn't forget.

He hired mainland consultants and image-makers, who changed his way of communicating, dressing and grooming to fool us into forgetting his real persona. I didn't forget.

He did not even have enough energy to walk a short, downhill parade route on the Fourth of July, and yet promises to work tirelessly to make this a better state. I didn't forget.

His supporters included the old-regime politicians ... yet he accused his opponent of being part of the "old power brokers" and claimed to be the face of change, a new Hawaii. I didn't forget.

He supports gambling and other vices. I didn't forget.

This is one Democrat who is voting Republican this year. At least their candidate is not a total fake! I didn't forget, did you?

Bob Rosehill, Hilo
