MC80- NEW LEADERS NEEDED

THERE IS ONE GLITCH THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED......
I have been reading in the Marianas Variety, in the 'comments' section of readers writing about how many people are dissatisfied with the present elected group of 'leaders'. There seems to be a overwhelming growing bitter resentment with most all the folks on Capital Hill, and quiet rightly so. Everyone states how they won't vote for these incapable people to manage the government. This is an excellent place to start fixing the problems, either caused by, or neglected by the current administration and current legislature. This is no surprise to me that people are pissed off with what we got up there on Capital Hill. However there is one glitch to voting for new blood on the Hill, and it is the following....
When I went to vote in the last election I was determined to not vote for the old tired 'good old boys club'. I was going to place my vote for new and different people and try to make changes in the group on the Hill. But here lies the problem.. I couldn't vote any of the tired blood out of office and install new faces because....
ALL THAT WAS ON THE BALLOT WAS THE SAME OLD TIRED ASSHOLES.
There has to be a NEW WAY TO PLACE NEW PEOPLE ON THE BALLOT...
We cannot change the worn out faces if new ones aren't on the ballot. There has to be a process from the ground up, starting with who is on the ballot if there are going to be any changes made in who governs the CNMI. Should you go to the polls in the next election and all the names were the same-o same-o how can anything be made anew?
Do you want to see Babauta, Fitial and Tenorio as your only choices for governor next election? How would we voters change a damn thing? You see the ballot is the place to start. Now I'm not in a position to recommend how to do this but if something isn't done at the ground floor, it'll be deja vu all over again and the economic hole will continue to deepen...
Another note....
I think the Marianas Variety has done a wonderful job with placing the 'comments' section in the on-line newspaper. This is steadily growing and will serve as an excellent out for the presently frustrated citizens to vent their disappointment. You will see this continue to grow and the folks on Capital Hill should be reading this and worrying their asses off cause the abused, neglected and repressed people are getting a voice through this venue and it will rise into a loud noise that they cannot no longer ignore....
Congratulations and thanks to the Marianas Variety for offering this very open and public venue for the common people to be heard....
Join in and vent your concerns, if nothing else you will know you stated your piece...
.....GED.....

Question is.. where are any other candidates? Whose willing to take a costly risk at running against the parties and funding? I don't know if the community is at a point yet, where they'll vote outside of parties. They do for districts.. don't know if that will carry over to a gubernatorial race against two other "hefty" candidates.

Hi Lil, Somewhere or sometime the vicious circle must be broken to stop what everyone is complaining about, incompent and worn-out repeats that don't do anything constructive and are only in it for themselves. As long as this circle remains unbroken things will never change.
Tina was the first to break that barrier and hopefully more will follow...
You have a long list of possibilities on your blog that could be a pool to draw from...

I agree with you Glen. I just don't know if things have gotten bad enough yet for people to stop acting stupid and voting stupid. What's more important, your brother-in-law or an operational power plant? Unfortunately, far too many voters still opt for the brother-in-law. Sad.
