[quote="Guest"]It seems like for anyone in Cranbury to vote for them is to let the NJ corrupt party machine win. Wayne doesn't even pretend to represent us. He is a full-time employee of a Union (he manages their big blow up Rat, no joke) whose campaign was financed by the Union and he has made it clear his constituency is his union. Linda is in it for Linda, which is why she never votes against her party machine, ever. That's nice for her but why would we support that? The future of Cranbury as a viable township will continue to be under attack in the coming years. We are being targeted from multiple sides -- COAH, regionalization, school consolidation, etc. To vote for two people who's record clearly show they will support or not resist any of those town-killing initiatives is to unequivocally vote against our self-interests. Why would ANYONE do that unless they are either self-destructive or plan to move-out soon anyway and don't care about their neighbors. the only way for us to win is for Linda to get a shocking wake up call on the election. Even if she manages to win, she should see her margin of victory eroded to a dangerous thin margin and she should see her base of support in Cranbury as responsible for that. Then her self-interest may start to align with us. Then maybe she’ll rethink her loyalty to party machine over constituents. Wayne is a lost cause – he doesn’t even pretend to care – he has yet to EVER set foot in Cranbury and even for our big events like Cranbury Day he sends junior interns to man a station. By comparison at least Linda shows us and Baroni even ran in our charity race.[/quote]

If people operate in silos and without party interests you're right. However, they don't. Do you not look at NJ or Linda's comments on having to vote party lines? Do you not see our TC where Win is often the only vote in a 4-1 voting procedure? The only way to effect change is to change control. The people who don't like that are usually the ones in control. <br /> <br />Look at the TC for example, do you think another Democrat will do anything different than what is there already? The answer is no because they all vote together in lock step. David and David are very good friends and Glenn was party chair in town for the last three years. They will vote lock step. You need to shift the power. Then in another 5 years or so shift it again so no one party is in control like we have had for the last 10 years in town and longer at the state level. <br /> <br />Look at the assembly? Wayne voted to destroy Cranbury, the Democrats all voted in lock step to destroy Cranbury. Even ones who may have voted no did not for fear of party politics. You need a full shift in power to get a point across. Then shift it again so the interests don't take hold. <br /> <br />Your ideals only work in a situation where party politics are not involved and that is not the state of things today.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu, Oct 29 2009, 4:24 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: In debate, GOP slams Greenstein for abstention on affordable housing vote</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I beg to differ.

This is the only mechanism left in our power as citizens to take back our rights. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Todd Fromer</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>wcody</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sun, Oct 25 2009, 11:27 am EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: In debate, GOP slams Greenstein for abstention on affordable housing vote</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"><span style="font-style: italic">One more thing we can give credit to Linda Greenstein for is bringing us Wayne D'Angelo.

There was a competitive race among Democrats to see who would run on the ticket with Linda Greenstein.
