Losing streak: Mufi, Kirk, Colleen, Dan?
By Jonah Ka`auwai @ 6:20 PM :: 12006 Views :: Maui County, Education K-12, Energy, Environment, National News, Ethics
|
“Inouye backed Colleen Hanabusa in May’s special election for Hawaii’s first congressional district. She came in second place and is still defying political analysts who believed the seat was a safe Democrat seat by polling behind Republican Charles Djou in recent polls. Inouye also backed Mufi Hannemann for governor and Kirk Caldwell for mayor, both of whom lost their election."

"Tonight she was unable to articulate anything the Congress had done in the past year that she would have voted against, she was unable to describe how she would encourage job creation and she continued to tout the success of the so-called 'stimulus' bill which has failed by the very standard its proponents set. The people of Hawaii deserve independent, fiscally responsible leadership, not a rubber stamp."

WSJ: Aloha Republicans?
By John H. Fund @ 12:54 PM :: 11668 Views :: Maui County, Education K-12, Energy, Environment, National News, Ethics
|
The Democratic Governors Association is fighting back with a new ad framing a vote for Mr. Aiona as a vote against President Obama. The ad quotes Mr. Aiona himself saying electing a GOP governor would be a "knock-out punch" against Hawaii's favorite son in the White House.
However, this may not be a risk-free strategy for Democrats. The Republican Governors Association has its own ad up that gently chides Mr. Abercrombie for being out-of-touch with the state. The ad doesn't clobber Mr. Obama, but says: "Maybe people in Washington don't care how you handle the federal budget -- by printing money, raising taxes, and increasing the deficit -- but in Hawaii, we do care."

Roll Call: With Djou on Appropriations, Hawaii could have outsized influence

Hawaii Rep. Charles Djou may be getting the biggest prize: Boehner said Djou will get a seat on the Appropriations Committee if he wins re-election next month after winning the special election in May to replace Rep. Neil Abercrombie (D). Hawaii Sen. Daniel Inouye (D) chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee, so the appointment would give the island state an outsized influence on Appropriations.

To make matters even worse for Democrat candidates like Hanabusa, President Obama recently admitted in an interview that he realized too late that “there’s no such thing as shovel-ready projects,” confirming once and for all that the stimulus was a policy disaster. After leaving small businesses and hard-working families to suffer from Washington’s egregious miscalculations – how can Hanabusa possibly defend the failed trillion-dollar stimulus now?

"In this difficult economy, the last thing voters in Hawaii's first Congressional district want is a politician who has voted for just about every tax increase and government regulation imaginable, killing local jobs and paying off her union cronies."

Democrat Poll: Silent on Gubernatorial race, claims Djou slipping behind Colleen “Broken Trust” Hanabusa
By Andrew Walden @ 8:18 PM :: 11125 Views :: Maui County, Education K-12, Energy, Environment, National News, Ethics
|
Democrats and the AFL-CIO have been flooding the airwaves and the mailboxes with debunked claims labeled “false” by FactCheck.org and mocked by the Washington Post. The leftist KOS poll and the Democrat poll would make up a polling trend which indicates that these Democrat lies are working. But neither poll is independent, so it is impossible to know whether these poll numbers are merely atmospherics to go along with the barrage of lies.

Despite all the negative ads saying Charles Djou voted against funding for schools, we know that actually no Hawaii schools were ever in danger of closing, nor were any teacher jobs at risk. Consider the following from the Washington Post's editorial board. They call this bailout for states a "boondoggle" and that "With schools in session, it's even clearer now than it was then that the numbers were exaggerated and that the measure was in no small part intended to motivate the powerful teachers unions for this fall's midterm elections."

...police reported the car was registered to my opponent, Rep. Jessica Wooley, and her husband.

She also claimed to have only taken the signs down and left them in front of the house, but as we reported, the signs were stolen and thrown into her van. Someone mysteriously returned signs at the place they were stolen with a note saying the property caretakers didn't want the signs up. But these were not the same signs stolen from the property and we confirmed with the property caretakers that they indeed supported our campaign and wanted a sign in their home.
