The 2010 elections are coming. One of the most interesting Congressional elections will be the special election held in Hawaii’s First Congressional District. The most interesting candidate is Charles Djou, a first generation immigrant who “gets it” about the American dream. Its not about externalizing excuses and creating pockets of the country his parents worked so hard to leave behind, but embracing the American dream. He understands the moral end of smaller government and bigger individuals, not bigger government and smaller individuals. The special election in Hawai’i is unique in that it is entirely by mail-in ballot. Starting Saturday, ballots went out to all citizens of the First Congressional District. Between now and May 22, registered voters can mail in their ballots. And between now and then, the candidates can continue to campaign.
That’s why a little help from everyone could be so valuable. Go to www.djou.com and donate your lunch money today. $5, $10. Even less. Help make sure the dream of legal immigrants stays bright.
Djou leads with 36 percent, former congressman Ed Case is chasing at 28 percent, and state Senate President Colleen Hanabusa is trailing with 22 percent.
Did I mention the First Congressional District is Obama’s Home District?
Djou has also taken an excellent position on an issue local to the city of Honolulu — the liberal Mayor and some cronies are trying to build a $5.5 billion, 22-mile elevated light rail system in the city and surrounds. This is an incredibly bad idea, and an extremely expensive eyesore that residents will be staring at for years if it gets built with mostly federal money. The GOP Governor is holding it up and Djou’s been very vocal in his correct opposition to a train they just don’t need and can’t afford. Light rail is generally an expensive and bad idea, and this one doesn’t need to be built with our dough.
“He understands the moral end of smaller government and bigger individuals, not bigger government and smaller individuals.”
It’s always black and white to you, isn’t it? You’re utterly incapable of seeing nuance and shades of grey in anything, any issue. But then that’s a conservative for ya…always wanting the world to fit into neat little boxes. Preferably boxes from ages ago.

All politics is local.
Hmmm…remember when Gore failed to carry his home state when he ran for president? I think it worked out best for everyone. Gore got crazy rich (thank you mindless sheep), libs had their boogieman for the next 8 years and republicans got to watch democrats foam at the mouth and laugh at them during the same time.
See the photos of Gore’s new hous….er..villa yet?
Check them out. If you ever cut this whackjob a check, then you helped pay for it. BTW, I am in no way affiliated with the following blog. They just happen to have some nice photos of Gore’s beautiful hous…villa. villa. villa. There now I got it.

Well..what did you think? Pretty nice huh. I didn’t see his G-V parked there. Must be in for maintenance. All those trips to Bali.
Note to libs: “Religion” comes in all forms, shapes and sizes. I’m just sayin.
