What Pedro Rosello should have said

Last night I had the privilege of watching Hillary Clinton's speech at the National democratic convention on CNN. If there was any doubt of her support for Obama it was dispelled with this electrifying speech. As she told her supporters "did you do this for me or for the greater cause" (a paraphrase of course). The goal was is and will be to win the White House, senate and the house come November. I am positive that on the Republican side we will hear the same battle cry for unity. It is only in being united that we can prevail in ridding Puerto Rico of the most corrupt, vindictive, manipulating governor in the history of Puerto Rico.
If only Pedro Rossello would have done the same when Luis Fortuno won the primaries. As of today we have not heard a single comment in support of Luis Fortuno, what we have heard or read is his support for the write in movement, a cheap, petty and immature political movement composed of selfish self centered individuals. Abe Lincoln said " Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." Pedro Rosello got a taste of the power drug and became so addicted he prefers to see Puerto Rico continue on its road to ruin rather then break his addiction.
I recently traveled to Washington D.C. its was sooo hard for me to get back on that flight back to PR. I told my wife call your mom and have her send the kids over. I commented on how I felt to my mother when I arrived telling her of the trip, she was sad, real sad, not at my unwillingness to return, but as to the reason why. She and I recall a better Puerto Rico, a sweeter, dynamic, honest, hard working, Puerto Rico. An island which was the envy of all the Caribbean and Latin America, they made fun of our accent, but where in awe as to the accomplishments of this tiny island.
Fast forward 35 years and what do we have, highest homicide rate, a Governor with a 24 count indictment from the federal government. The highest unemployment rate in 30 years, electric bills so high businesses are closing, and leaving the island. A pseudo nationalistic pride based on distorted facts and lies. We have the perfect storm. Under any other circumstance Luis Fortuno would have been a shoo in yet...the former leader of the NPP party cannot break his addiction to power. We have seen Rossello true character, and it is shameful and reprehensible, certainly not worthy of any sort of Governorship.
