Hawaii RINOs Ruin Hawaii With Hawaii Democrats

RINOs Help Democrats Ruin Hawaii:
PHONY REPUBLICANS ARE DESTROYING THE HAWAII GOP AND THROWING THE 2018 ELECTION

Aloha Republicans:
Watching loyal fellow party members like you get stabbed in the back by Hawaii's minority leader Andria Tupola is quite painful. Ever since she took over the leadership reins from party turncoat Beth Fukumoto, you'd have expected Rep. Tupola to do at least slightly better at standing up for our conservative values than Fukumoto and that she'd demand an end to failed Democrat policies. Sadly, this is not to be. Her shameful liberal record of rubber-stampingwhatever Democrats want is JUST AS BAD as Fukumoto's.
Just like Beth Fukumoto, instead of fighting for the repeal of harmful liberal policies, RINO party leader Tupola is working hand in hand with progressive Democrats to turn Hawaii into a tragic and toxic mixture of California and Detroit.
Only days ago, hardcore RINO Tupola voted in favor of a Democrat bill (HB2281) introduced by 14 hardcore Democrats and lifelong RINO Cynthia Thielen which will create a horrifying patchwork of state-run shantytowns and tent cities all across Hawaii. That's right! Fake Republican Tupola wants to force Hawaii residents across the state to accept the establishment of mainland style homeless shantytown tent cities.
Ready to impose her will (and that of Democrats) on taxpayers statewide, co-opted RINO Andria Tupola and her liberal Democrat brain trust of colleages at the legislature fully realize neighborhoods will not be so welcoming to the shantytowns. "This concept would have to be taken from island to island to really get the community to understand it," Tupola told Hawaii News Now, as she and her Democrat friends prepare to force these shantytowns down the throats of taxpayers during the current session of the Hawaii State Legislature. You see, Tupola plans to make YOU understand that tent cities in your neighborhood are a good thing and part of her "vision for a better Hawaii".
Tupola and her Democrat pals are circling the wagons around House Bill 2281, which would create an "Ohana Zone Program" within the state Department of Human Services that would designate potentially DOZENS of areas around the state where homeless people could live. Yes, official state shantytowns, with plenty of room for growth as the homeless population of Hawaii surges into record numbers. Career politicians like Tupola must know that their embrace of big government policies has caused Hawaii to achieve record levels of non-affordability. They also have to know that they've let the illegal drug problem get out of hand and have allowed homelessness to explode in recent years with no solution in sight.
"OHANA ZONES": Thanks to so failed liberal policies in Hawaii, taxpayers (i.e. YOU) would be taxed by Tupola (open-ended pricetag and timelines unknown) to ensure that these government-run Ohana Zone tent cities all provide toilets, showers and other hygiene facilities; areas for food preparation; on-site child care; and transportation to school, jobs, medical appointments and other services. RINO Andria Tupola actually calls living in a tent city a "sustainable lifestyle", as part of her shamelessly propagandizing of the gullible public to make Hawaii's infamous tent city in Waianae and the 'living on the land', bare subsistence, welfare and charity dependent subculture seem like a great, sustainable alternative to working, having your own home, and raising kids under a roof rather than under a tarp.
While opportunistic career politicians like Tupola are eager to demonstrate how 'compassionate' they are by creating shantytowns right next to existing residential areasaffected residents know that homeless villages will bring trouble. Nanakuli's Darren Hoopii told Hawaii News Now that he opposes such camps for good reason, "It's not good for the kids and it will cause a lot of traffic over here and drugs." Mr. Hoopii is a master of understatement. Homelessness is NOT a sustainable alternative lifestyle, as career politicians like RINO Andria Tupola continue to portray the situation. With the State of Hawaii possessing more than enough resources to get people off the streets tomorrow(and having the responsibility to enforce laws against vagrancy and poor parenting), there is ZERO need for the state to create or approve of homeless camps. All of this liberal feel-good nonsense about 'safe zones' needs to be squelched. Homelessness in the year 2018 is unacceptable period.
Let's be honest, it's likely that fake Republican and career politician Tupola is desperate to cozy up to the liberal media and the Democrat powerbrokers in a misguided gambit to promote her pointless gubernatorial ambitions. What's worse is that Tupola's voting record has been truly abysmal, voting 90%+ of the time with Democrats, including voting like a Democrat on many key issues that would cause Republicans from Hawaii to the White House to cringe in disbelief. All of this would explain why Tupola has been encouraging the squatters in Waianae to keep 'camping' indefinitely and why she has become a willing mouthpiece or surrogate for the progressive agenda and cooperating with Democrats and the liberal media in an ongoing campaign to mainstream and normalize the idea of having shantytown tent cities (sorry, "Ohana Zones") all throughout the state . . . coming soon to YOUR neighborhood and spreading like Starbucks. Auwe!
Tupola's voting record is consistently bad. And, according to the scoring by the American Conservative Union Foundation (the annual producers of the CPAC convention), Tupola has delivered the same poor results as minority leader as her predecessor Beth Fukumoto; with the GOP caucus in the state house voting 71% of the time with Democrats under Fukumoto in 2016 and under Tupola in 2017.

As Goldie Cross of the Kauai County Republican Party, "Purge the RINOs". We agree, Goldie. Tupola needs to focus her time on undoing all the damage she's done, rather than throwing away a GOP seat in the state house to run for governor. Tupola asks voters if they "want to be part of creating a shared vision for a better Hawaii". Hell no, if her vision includes state-run shantytown tent cities from Hilo to Hanalei, which it does. That's just nuts!

A REPUBLICAN LEADER SHOULD NOT BE PUSHING THE DEMOCRAT AGENDA
Andria Tupola needs to resign as minority leader of the House GOP at the State Capitol.Her liberal voting record and her progressive ideology -- which she attempts to mask with throwaway conservative buzzwords -- make her unfit to be GOP leader and unfit to be the GOP's nominee for governor. The road to hell is paved by smooth talking liberals who con people into believing they are conservative. Tupola won't be magically turning from a liberal into a conservative in office. It didn't happen when she became a member of the state house. It didn't happen when she voted for Beth Fukumoto to lead the GOP caucus. It didn't happen when she replaced Beth Fukumoto as minority leader. And it won't happen as governor.
To Tupola's Republican supporters, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, HIRA has the following message for you: You owe it to yourself to understand HOW AWFULLY BAD Tupola's voting record is. Calling it 'HORRIBLE' doesn't even do it justice. It's as bad as you can imagine. Democrats and the liberal news media LOVE Tupola's embrace of their agenda. Through Tupola, they have co-opted the Hawaii GOP's still sidelined ability to take on the failed Democrat record. And now, Tupola is part of that failed record. It's a wonder she hasn't become a Democrat like Fukumoto already.
Contacted for this story, GOP candidate John Carroll indicated that as governor he would work to reverse many of Tupola's liberal policies which she helped Democrats to enact during her years at the state legislature. Carroll clearly indicated that creating Shantytowns was one of a "dirty dozen" Tupola policies which need to be reversed either through executive action, legislation, and/or through the courts during his first year in office. "There's no point in electing a Republican if he or she ends up governing like a Democrat," Carroll asserted to HIRA.
It's hard to disagree with that. Tupola needs to step aside as GOP leader and immediately get off the Democrat bandwagon of incremental socialism in the Aloha State.

RINO Beth Fukumoto Wants to Join Hawaii Democrats? What About the Best Interests of All Hawaiians?!

TIME FOR SOUL SEARCHING:
Highest Ranking Republican In Hawaii Auditions to Join Democrat Party
This Coming Thursday


Aloha, Republicans:

My how things have changed.  Only five short months ago, Hawaii Republicans in the State House of Representatives UNANIMOUSLY supported Beth Fukumoto as their GOP Minority Leader, making her the highest ranking Republican in the entire 50th State.  Not only was Fukumoto entrusted by her colleagues to decide what the Republican agenda at the State Capitol would be, but she also set the direction of the Hawaii Republican Party, as a member of the party's powerful executive committee and state committee.  And then those outspoken conservatives at the 
Hawaii Republican Assembly (HIRA) had the gall to repeatedly point out that Fukumoto was more liberal than many elected Democrats and that she refused to lead either the GOP or the Republican Caucus to challenge Democrats on their failed policies.
Yes indeed, how things have changed.  Next Thursdaythis same Beth Fukumoto -- whom top GOP leaders and elected Republicans judged to be our party's best bet for its future -- will be auditioning to become a member of Hawaii's Democratic Party. 
The interview will be conducted at a special meeting of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) Caucus to make sure she is 100% onboard with their ambitious, progressive agenda for Hawaii.  In case you didn't know, the Hawaii LGBT Caucus is a highly vocal and very liberal subset of the Democrat Party.  Its members espouse the most radical left-wing positions on all issues from A to Z; economic, social, fiscal and more.  Some of its leaders used to serve on the Hawaii GOP's State Committee until very recently.  That's right, top party leaders at the Democrat Party were (until a short time ago) top party leaders at the Hawaii GOP.

As bad as Democrats have made Hawaii over the past 63 years, the LGBT 'caucus' of the Dems wants to make everything even worse; taking our state and county governments even more in a liberal, Nancy Pelosi or Bernie Sanders kind of direction. And turncoat Beth Fukumoto fits right inwithout having to change a single position.  Indeed, not only has Fukumoto already been long supportive of billions in higher taxes and having regularly voted for bloated Democrat spending budgets, she 
has alreadyvirtue signaled on a slew of liberal issues so Democrats know she supports their agenda wholeheartedly:  "Fukumoto said Wednesday that she personally supports gay marriage and that her vote against the measure had more to do with concerns about the process."










Now, as Beth Fukumoto enthusiastically prepares for her political life as a card-carrying liberal Democrat committed to helping defeat the few remaining GOPers in office -- joining recently booted Republican Kym Pine in the financial and political assault on GOP incumbents and challengers -- there's no better time for Republicans to reflect on what this all means.  If we are willing to look inward, the Beth Fukumoto episode can teach the Hawaii GOP some extremely valuable lessons for the long, hard road ahead.
 
HERE'S THE BIGGEST LESSON OF ALL:  As Republicans, we should actually try to actually have some actual standards for what it actually means to be an actual Republican.  This really, really matters because what we've been doing is NOT working.  GOP vice chair Pat Saiki's often stated core belief that issues don't matter and that anybody who puts an "R" after their name is good enough for the Hawaii GOP is a severely misguided belief which has proven time and again to be a policy which only RINO's and closet Democrats could agree with.  Pat Saiki's nonsense might get Miriam Hellreich and Shirlene Ostrov super-excited enough to install Saiki as the party's newest vice-chair in charge of the 2018 GOP Coordinated Campaign (yes, Saiki is running the 2018 statewide campaign), but serious Republicans across Hawaii understand that Saiki's recipe of Republican-In-Name-Only RINOism is disastrous.
 
We're not supposed to be Democrats.  We're not supposed to be liberal.  Hawaii voters deserve a choice from the two-party system, not an echo.  The single largest bloc of voters in Hawaii are NON-voters -- so totally uninspired by what they see that they either remain at home or remain completely unregistered.  They're not stupid.  They get it.  Even if they live 50 miles away from our overpriced RINO headquarters on Kapiolani Blvd., they know we've been trying to sell 'Democrat Lite' garbagerather than the bold, compelling reforms that Hawaii desperately needs.  These non-voters simply won't bother casting ballots unless our party assertively offers up policies (and candidates) that are substantially better and substantially different than the growing collection of elected Democrats (and the shrinking collection of RINO's) that are already in office.
 
Seriously, when Beth Fukumoto -- the person whom Hawaii Republicans unanimously agreed five months ago was the best person to LEAD the GOP effort in Hawaii -- ends up receiving approval for membership after impressing the most liberal group inside the Democrat Party, then this development should give everybody a pretty clear idea about why HIRA is working so hard to save the Hawaii GOP from the RINO's and closet Democrats who've hijacked our state's Republican Party for the past few decades.
 
THE ENEMY WITHIN:  When our chosen GOP leaders like Aaron "Ling" Johanson and Beth Fukumoto are right at home in the Democrat Party, we have a much bigger problem than just our branding.  With our officially neutral platform (LLIFE) and our "anything goes" approach to selecting candidates and supporting policies, we don't even know what we stand for anymore.  Clearly, the Democrats are taking Hawaii in the wrong direction.  But even more clearly, the kind of people we think are GOP leaders are more than happy to keep paddling in that wrong direction, either as party-switchers or as closet Democrats still within our ranks.  The Hawaii GOP is lost, rudderless, and (not surprisinglycompletely broke.  Hawaii doesn't need (and won't support) TWO Democrat Parties.
 
Fellow Republicans, it's time for some speedy soul-searching.  We've already lost seven valuable months without any campaigning since the 2016 General Election.  Vice Chair and Eternal Trump Hater Pat Saiki -- with State Chair Shirlene Ostrov's approval -- has committed the Hawaii GOP to at least two more years of 'anything goes' RINO direction.  In fact, adding insult to injury, Ostrov just put 
big spendinghigh taxingsocial liberalCaldwell clone Charles Djou's entire RINO team in charge of the Hawaii GOP's communications for the next two years.  They've lost four elections in a row.  Gosh, why not wave the white flag of surrender now?!?

REPUBLICANS DESERVE BETTER:  HIRA will keep fighting and HIRA will keep informing and HIRA will keep organizing because, at the rate our state party is going, Hawaii voters won't be given a choice in 2018 rather than an echo.  The Hawaii GOP is still the exact same RINO party it was which picked Beth Fukumoto and "Ling" Johanson to be our leaders for the 21st century.  RINO's Pat Saiki and Miriam Hellreich are still running the show with a new cadre of puppets.  And Beth Fukumoto fanatics like RINO Boyd Ready still hold officer positions in the struggling party.  There's no better time to reflect on how we put all the wrong people in charge -- people who would be just as happy being Democrats.


Finally, as a Republican, you deserve to know why we're not winning.  And HIRA owes it to you to keep the pressure on the party to get its act together.  For this reason, HIRA sincerely appreciates your support for our mission to take back our party.  Please stay informed and keep applying the pressure.  Together, we will drain the swamp in Hawaii politics.

Mahalo,
