THERE is only one problem with Republicans. They do not like to call their colleagues out. Even good, true-blue conscientious ones much as Bob Klitzkie seem to “fall back into line” when election time rolls around.
For example, folks were asking how come there were no oversight hearings on the Superior Court’s meddling into preventing the unifying of the judiciary, which fell under Klitzkie’s watch during his tenure, to which he, Bob Klitzkie, said, “I am not the chair of Fishing.”
Another example was when Klitzkie said on the media what he would do on election day. He said “Vote Republican.” For who? The governor who has lied consistently? Speaker Forbes and Vice Speaker Ed Calvo who enabled the lying to go on?
That’s in the past so let’s put it in the past and there were good things Sen. Klitzkie did in the 28th such as pairing money, something unfortunately his colleagues know nothing about. (I recall Newstalk K-57’s Travis Coffman posing the question, “What do they know, we don’t?” They to mean Klitzkie & Kasperbauer. Well, apparently, a lot more than they let on.)
In the present, we have Sen. Frank Ishizaki, freshman senator, who said in not so many words prior to the election that he will be his own man, so to speak, but recently has come out and made comments such as “I don’t believe Mr. Tennesse is guilty (and has proceeded to hire him).” And that he is a supporter of the governor.
Such a bias from a former FBI person when his responsibility is to the people, not some politician. No wonder the FBI itself is such a mess as evidenced from the Inspector General’s audit of the Patriot Act. Why? Because these folks place a personal loyalty to those who gave them a leg up, hand up, into positions of authority (socialistic favors) above duty to the people and the Constitution.
I think all Republican senators and that goes for Sen. Espaldon as well, who appear to be wishy-washy on the Ordot Dump closure, should be put on notice. That they will be one-term officials. But what are they worried about? They don’t care. They can go back to the “private-sector” who will warmly embrace them for doing their bidding. And spend time FISHING!
