WITH the election season coming to an end, this is my last attempt to try and HELP the People with our Political struggles, as I’m through with the ugly politics of the CNMI. It should be obvious that Ralph intends on winning this election at any cost and I do mean cost, as it seems people are getting PAID to support him — so “don’t believe the hype.” First it was Mr. Salas joining Ralph. Mr. Salas ran as a Democrat in a prior election and as an Independent in this election. Now Mr. Quitugua has abandoned the Democrat Party to join Ralph that one can only assume he got paid too! If his claim was truly about helping the NMDs he could have and should have waited so he could talk to the Governor-elect but it’s obvious that his resignation was in reality about helping Ralph. Stealing people from the Democrats is a common ugly political practice in the CNMI as Ralph even got the Democrat candidate for Governor from Rota to quit in 2018 before the race even begin. I even mentioned in my previous op-ed about how Ralph has been offering as much as a million dollars to get elected Democrats to support him in the runoff — I know this for a fact to be TRUE! This is the same Ralph who claimed to have needed to borrow 6,000 from his family to pay his power bill when he didn’t even have to pay the bill as if WE are stupid enough to believe him — for me he was just caught money laundering.
I was the first to bring up the idea and the need for NMDs to be organized over a decade ago and I have written about it continuously and more recently when the Governor “robbed” the NMDs of 15-million that has not been repaid that wasn’t mentioned by Danny. If you read Danny’s op-ed in December of 2021, you can see how Danny called Ralph some of everything “illegal and corrupt” that one could think of yet he turns around in less than a year later and supports Ralph — hypocrisy plain and simple. It’s like I keep saying that we have too many people (politicians & voters) who attend Mass on Sunday but are CORRUPT as Hell on Monday — for True.
At first it was Retirees being manipulated by Ralph with his finger pointing at the House and some Retirees even fell for his poli-ricks. Now Ralph is after the NMDs trying to use Danny for his “Poster Child” and you don’t need to be a Political Scientist to be able to see and know that it’s all a political stunt to get voters to join Ralph. If you are a Retiree or NMD you need to WAKE-UP and smell the roses because what Ralph is selling you stinks to “high-heaven.” Stealing elections is what the GOP does BEST and the history of runoffs in the CNMI shows a clear record of people jumping to the GOP after losing.
Our Corrupt Godfather Ralph who is going to jail for TRUE yet too many voters are still with him who will surely look bad and be embarrassed when Ralph loses in State and/or Federal Court. They are trying to elect someone who has literarily destroyed our Economy by forcing us regular folks to accept the Chinese who ran the Japanese away. Now Ralph is trying to bring the Japanese back. Hypocrisy and failed projects is a common trait that runs throughout the GOP. Don’t believe the HYPE and vote for a leader we can TRUST to be FAIR & HONEST — Arnold! One People One Direction for NEW & BETTER Leaders!
