THE Truth Be Told, the jumping of the Democrat ship by Senator Castro too the Republican Destroyer Ship sends an ominous message to the People that has been a constant variable for the past two decades, which is “the Republicans OWN the Majority of the People & the CNMI.” In fact, the very idea that Ralph can be a leading contender for Governor STINKS permeating the smell of a Dead Economy throughout the CNMI. The idea that Ralph and his Crew are desired for leadership after the “waste of nearly two billion under Ralph’s Administration that ended with a 17-million-dollar WASTE with his BOOST Giveaway that only helped his crew which defies logic and even asserts that WE the People are STUPID! Given the destitute conditions in the CNMI I must ask, “Are You a Republican or a Citizen First when it comes to voting” because WE voted ourselves into this mess and our only hope for prosperity is to vote ourselves Out-of-this-Republican-Poli-tricking-Fiasco that has been going on for over two decades and must come to an END — Basta ENOUGH!
I’m sure it’s common knowledge by now that the Republicans have been in FULL CONTROL of the CNMI for the past two decades laying waste that started with the slaughter of the Retirement Fund, the WASTE of Federal Funds in the Billions with nothing to show that WE the People can see, touch or feel with the only exception being the Beach Road Overhaul. Heck, WE just gave J & P Holding unlimited Tax Relief on ALL their businesses & personal income for the next 22 years for only a promise of lower Air Fairs and Free Medical Referral Flights for CNMI patients. Well, to date these promises look more like a mirage as MACS is only taking the bodies of those who died on Medical Referral but no patients and still no oversight by Republicans (fake Independent-Republicans included). Now WE are seeing a Senator jump ship to the Republican ship on the Eve of the General Election, which was obviously done just so he could SIT but nothing to do with Reforming the CNMI for the Better. When are WE the People of the CNMI going to “Teach Republicans a Lesson” with their “name changing and poli-tricks just to SIT” or do WE continue to be foolish putting a Party before All the People and OUR Commonwealth!
For TRUE, voters on the mainland are lining-up in record numbers to “dethrone Republicans” who have allowed their fearless leader to turn America in at “Sh#3T Show” — for the lack of a better terminology. The CNMI has been touting Republican Strong for as long as I can remember, but look at what our Republicans have DONE and FAILED to DO and now our Economy is destitute & floundering in the Republican Sea of Failures & Impotency. Now Ralph is making the CNMI look like a “Sh#3T Show” like Trump up to his old poli-tricks swearing he wants to “stabilize the power situation and to leverage its network to bring in new airlines and routes with discussions ongoing with carriers in Australia, Vietnam and Japan. Ralph didn’t offer a proven or executable plan, just ideas & talk that was more like a “pipedream WE got with the MACS scam” than a plan. But I hope the common-sense voters will recognize his poli-trick because stabilizing our power is something whomever becomes Governor will have to do anyway, which is also already happening with the addition of a Solar Farm. Ralph has already had two chances as Governor and didn’t do SQUAT to address our power, even seeming to paying a power bill to “wash money” that he didn’t have to pay! Ralph’s Republicans let him escape his impeachment and it seems Trump has his thumb on the scale for Ralph’s Federal RICO Trial just like Trump escaped and even won being a 34 Count Felon who seems to be Ralph’s mentor. WE the CNMI can’t afford to any more of Ralph’s & Republican poli-tricks if WE are to find any resemblance of prosperity.
I had actually hoped that one of the Democrat Senators, who are the highest elected Democrat Officials, would have taken the reins of the Democrat Party to lead & rebuild the Party to Reform the CNMI for the Better. I know one of the two Democrat Senators is facing immense personal challenges and couldn’t but Senator Manny Castro instead of being True-to-the-Democrat-Party is taking what he thinks is the easy route to sitting by jumping ship, however, I pray voters will teach him and all the Independents who are really Republicans playing pol-tricks a lesson! It has been Republican Poli-tricks and Changing Party Titles that TRICKED all-of-us into the Economic mess. In fact, the only LIGITIMATE candidates for the Executive Office are Dr. Lawrence & Senator Edith who had no choice but to run as True-Independents. If WE the People don’t teach Republicans a lesson, WE are going to learn some MORE hard lessons for following Republicans to Nowhere — for TRUE!!! One People One Direction
