Late Saturday (May 26), the Hawaii Republican Party and the Linda Lingle campaign issued their third attack on the Democratic Party of Hawaii in as many days.

Excerpt from the latest:

Falling in line with the national Democrat party, Hawaii Democrats have once again decided that they are not running on a platform of issues. Instead, they launched into what was nothing more than a narcissistic tirade of personal assaults against individual Republican candidates.

Over the past two days, the Hawaii State Democrat Convention has been a circus of internal procedural squabbling, sprinkled with baseless attacks on proven leaders like former Gov. Linda Lingle. This is not the pool of candidates the people of Hawaii deserve to select from in deciding who to send to our state Capitol or Washington,D.C.

The Democratic Party has largely shrugged off the attacks, busy with their three-day convention, which ends at the Sheraton Waikiki Sunday (May 27).

Delegate George Waialeale shows his political colors.
