Rather than trying to make
conservatives,
real Republicans, and
angry reformers feel welcome in the Hawaii Republican Party,
the establishment leaders at the Hawaii GOP have joined with mainland establishment party leaders in the bashing of conservatives.
Recent media coverage of the upcoming Hawaii Presidential Caucus has
revealed the fault lines in our beleaguered state party, which
has been
controlled for decades by RINO's for the sake of keeping conservatives and their ideas from exercising
any influence at all in Hawaii politics.
Joining Fukumoto in making conservatives feel unwelcome in their own party, RINO
Pat Saiki
focuses her venom on front-runner Donald Trump and his supporters.
Saiki said Trump has done major damage to the Republican Party in Hawaii and across the country and she worried a state already dominated by Democrats will suffer even more Republican losses at the polls: "I think he's torn us apart. He really has made us seem as though we don't care about people."
Let's be honest. Jeb Bush supporter turned John Kasich (or Marco Rubio) supporter
Pat Saiki simply hates Donald Trump and
hates all conservative ideas.
Saiki has pushed for years to make the Hawaii Republican Party
officially neutral on any and all issues in its official platform.
Of course!! That's because the Hawaii GOP's establishment RINO leadership doesn't want to risk having a bunch of new members toss them out and start moving the party in a more conservative direction.
"What I'm hoping is all the campaigns are working so hard, between us and Trump and the Rubio guys,
that the party takes advantage of this, but we're
not seeing that this year, either," Lee said. "The desire for many Republicans ... most of us in Hawaii, would be to
see our local party become something other than irrelevant."
Also sounding off is Hawaii's highest-ranking Republican office holder,
Sam Slom, who
disagrees with Saiki, Fukumoto and others who are
critical of conservative voices and policies. While Slom
has not supported Trump's campaign, he doesn't like the Republican establishment ganging
up on him.
"
To have the party, the establishment, try to take over what the grassroots think and what they want to do and what they want to vote.
That's why people are angry." Slom said.
Slom said he
originally supported Dr. Ben Carson, who is ending his presidential campaign, so Slom
now supports conservative Texas U.S. Senator
Ted Cruz.
Slom said he is
not worried that a Trump presidential campaign will hurt Republican electoral chances
in Hawaii and elsewhere.
"A lot of people here vote for the candidate. They
say they're Democrats, but
they'll vote for a Republican if that Republican will stand up for something," Slom said.
You're exactly right, Sam Slom.
Your own existence in the State Senate proves the point, even though the Democrats (and Hawaii RINO's) keep trying silence your voice.
But RINO's control the Hawaii Republican Party. So once the Hawaii caucus is
over next week,
it's time for conservatives to come together and rescue our Hawaii party --
a party hijacked by liberals like Saiki, Fukumoto and other Republicans in name only who stand for nothing except retaining power and renewing their country club membership in the GOP establishment.
Good luck to
all candidates in next week's Hawaii GOP Presidential Caucus. Once this battle is over,
the war for the heart and soul of our party begins.
