Sign wavers, guilty by association
Politicians must be aware of who they let sign wave on their behalf.
Each sign waver is a direct reflection of the candidate they represent. The candidate is guilty by association if he or she let's a loose cannon sign wave on their behalf.
I was recently riding my bicycle through beautiful Kapa'a town when I came upon many sign wavers. One sign waver was very rude to me and purposely blocked me on the sidewalk and said a few choice words to me.
I said nothing and just proceeded on my way. I am not going to say who this person was sign waving for, however because of this one person, that candidate has no chance in eternal torment of getting my vote.
Candidates, be careful who sign waves for you. There are times that a sign waver can cause more harm than good!
How about a good old fashioned debate amongst the candidates in lieu of waving to people in traffic?
P.S.
