Please.
I hope that just because you call yourself a Republican, doesn't mean that you have to fall into bed with the national party line of pinheads, morons and idiots that they now represent.
Try to be independent and think for yourselves for a change.
Democrats tend to be inept.
But, the gop, at least. at the national level, are REALLY scraping the bottom of the barrel for federal offices right now.
It's SO laughable that this is the best that they can come up with.
Romney is the only one that has a tinker's cuss of a chance, but, he is ignored because he is NOT whacky enough!
At the local level, parties shouldn't really matter all that much.
All of that kooky-talk is just for raising money anyway.
You don't need much money to run for township political office, so why bother. Just make decisions based on whats good for the community and don't worry about predigested ideology.

You're right it won't help us fight things like cOah just like Linda did. It won't get us the grant money for road projects like Linda did. Oh wait we got no grant money for roads and Linda didn't do anything to help us on coah and Wayne Deangelo ignored us all together.
You are putting your party view above the town. That's fine just don't make it seem we won't be helped. I would hope the reps would vote for a Cranbury dem as well if they were running. Show where Wayne is part if today's tea party group.
As I said in 2009 I was at the inn and thought the tea party was not hard right, but represented all of us who wanted to watch spending. It since went downhill fast. So my one attendance would make me a tea party member even though I disagree with them.

Seems that the zoning officer is not removing the way out of date signs. Hows about he gets that trash out of public view. Its bad enough we have to see it defacing our historic character during election time.
