WHO I WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR

By Tim Rohr

I was off-island for the primary, and, frankly, I wasn't motivated enough by any candidate to go out of my way to vote early. 

However, if I were a Democrat, and I'm not, I would have voted for Tenorio, for no other reason than he just seems to be the more reasonable and approachable of the three Democratic candidates.

I am a registered Republican, but I think if I had voted, I would have written in "Jeff" or "Jeffrey," for no other reason than to make a statement. Both Republican candidates made statements relative to abortion that were not only disappointing, but sort of stupid.

As I laid out in previous posts, abortion legislation is not even an issue in this election, and every candidate team (except for Terlaje) demonstrated their inability to lead this government by falling into a trap they didn't even need to step into. If you want to know more about why I say this, see my posts here and here. 

Note: Even though Terlaje was the only candidate not to "step in it," I still would have voted for Tenorio on account of what I already stated.

Now that it's between Terlaje and Ada, I think I'll do another write-in: Jesus. I'd like to vote for Ada, but he's an avowed Freemason. And for a Catholic, that's a problem. I don't blame Ada. I'm sure he never knew...until now. 

It's a matter that our clergy should have engaged him on long ago. However, when you have an archbishop who eagerly runs away from the altar during the funeral for perhaps Guam's most beloved priest in order to give a big hug to Guam's most vicious advocate for abortion ever (the governor), and the nation's first openly gay Lieutenant Governor, and later give them communion, then....?

Note: The picture of Typhoon Bavi doesn't have anything to do with the post...other than its what Guam politics always feels like. :)
