Ninja World

I try my best to work with everyone as best as I can.  Policy debates are good because we are fighting on what we believe is best for Hawai'i.  I am just tired of opponents within our party and in the opposite party attacking at a personal level.  They pick on individuals and spin things in a way to make the person look bad.  They leak things to the media.  They try to get certain individuals out of office as best as they can.  Some politicians act all nice in public, but are mean to others in the political world.  Others are just waiting for you to be vulnerable.  You can try to be nice to others, and then they give it you.  You take the hits and move forward.  This all gets very tiring.  I know who my friends are in this political world.  A close colleague of mine always says, “It (politics) is a ninja world.”
