This shows weakness given how easy it is to research on the internet, but the best US presidents in history may not be the best on TV or in front of the mic today. I bet if George Washington was around today he would never have cut the mustard in our libral Media because of his false teeth and military background. Or if Lincoln was on stage yesterday instead of McCain, would he be viable because he was a maverick and became the first Republican candidate to oppose the unpopular slavery causes? Its not sexy enough for TV. But are today issues any less important with rouge nuclear nations and the global economy. <br /> <br />I wonder why the past record of a candidate is less important then personal tribulations? Why doesnt prior civil duty and a voting record/authoring legislation play a bigger role for Voters and on the NEWS? There is more info on Wikipedia then on CNN or the news about the real resume of how these two have affected your life in the past and what their decision making will be for your future. What has your candidate done for you? <br /> <br />To me we sell more media time and newspapers because of the sideshow with Palin. And when a candidate is builtup to be the next Kennedy on national TV with little to no record in Washington, it makes for a good show and sells a lot of airtime. But does this convention carnival show on TV make us better citizen voters? Does it help make Washington better? <br /> <br />I think the first place to fix Washington is right at Home, go get educated about your candidate and find out what he has already done to make your life better. Future promises are easy to make but what prior legislation and deeds have either Obama or McCain enacted that have affected you? I agree that should be a primary consideration.</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>Guest</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: Fri, Sep 5 2008, 5:32 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Stout & Palin – Opposite sides of the same coin?</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I hate the way both parties are trying to peddle the candidates frankly. It’s the same old message on both sides. <br /> <br />The Republicans are running on a fear platform, fear of new Russia, Terrorism and bigger government/taxes. <br /> <br />The Democrates are running on a Change platform, but change to what? Change can be good or Bad. Obama has had 2 years in senate, and the others in his party have been in office far longer, and what is the result in the past 8 years? Not all of our problems can be blamed on the president, that's why our forefathers created three legs of our government in Washington (President, The Senate and the House) they all have a hand in how the last 8 years have gone --- so what has Obama and the democrats changed? <br /> <br />I'm giving Obama another few years in the senate to show me what he can change, and will go with the record of what McCain has done. I frankly can not vote for a smooth talking politician with an unknown record of change. Too many have promised change without showing or doing anything prior. Talk is cheap. <br /> <br />Has anyone else noticed how hard HOLLYWOOD glitzyed up the Democratic convention? or was that supposed to be a Rock concert? And the Republicans were beat challenged during Barracuda song  <br /> <br />But I do hate the direction of US politics lately. On one hand its an alter to either Jesus on the other its Elvis, maybe someone will enact a law to turn off the TV and read about your candidates on the Internet instead. So voters will know what they have done in the past and future, instead of these sound bytes and TV spots. How has either already changed my life is how I will vote this Nov. <br /> <br />As far as Palin and Stout, we should instead be comparing Palin record to Corzine's. Partisanship is the major problem in our local NJ government and one person can change that. Its a shame that we dont have stronger local representatives, but I will meet with one at the Cranbury day at Baroni's booth. I'm stopping by to thank him for his support and will let Linda and the others know my disgust of what they are doing to NJ and cranbury.</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>publius</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: Fri, Sep 5 2008, 3:22 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Stout & Palin – Opposite sides of the same coin?</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">But, does Stout speak in tongues and take up serpents? <br />I know that all "good" republicans do that these days. <br />Don't forget about The Rapture!</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>Guest</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: Thu, Sep 4 2008, 12:37 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Stout & Palin – Opposite sides of the same coin?</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Guest wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">"</span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Quote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">dislike her unethical behavior once elected (e.g., firing decent people who does not share her view or obey her unethical commands)."</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />Who did she fire (and how do you know they are decent?) and what unethical commands?</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />1.

She had been <br />pushed to hire this administrator by party power-brokers after she had <br />gotten herself into some trouble over precipitous firings which had <br />given rise to a recall campaign. <br /> <br />Sarah campaigned in Wasilla as a “fiscal conservative”. During her 6 <br />years as Mayor, she increased general government expenditures by over <br />33%. During those same 6 years the amount of taxes collected by the <br />City increased by 38%. This was during a period of low inflation <br />(1996-2002). She reduced progressive property taxes and increased a <br />regressive sales tax which taxed even food. The tax cuts that she <br />promoted benefited large corporate property owners way more than they <br />benefited residents. <br /> <br />The huge increases in tax revenues during her mayoral administration <br />weren’t enough to fund everything on her wish list though, borrowed <br />money was needed, too. She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it <br />with indebtedness of over $22 million. What did Mayor Palin encourage <br />the voters to borrow money for? Was it the infrastructure that she said <br />she supported? The sewage treatment plant that the city lacked? or a <br />new library? No. $1m for a park. $15m-plus for construction of a <br />multi-use sports complex which she rushed through to build on a piece <br />of property that the City didn’t even have clear title to, that was <br />still in litigation 7 yrs later--to the delight of the lawyers <br />involved! The sports complex itself is a nice addition to the <br />community but a huge money pit, not the profit-generator she claimed it <br />would be. She also supported bonds for $5.5m for road projects that <br />could have been done in 5-7 yrs without any borrowing. <br /> <br />While Mayor, City Hall was extensively remodeled and her office <br />redecorated more than once. <br /> <br />These are small numbers, but Wasilla is a very small city.</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"></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: Wed, Sep 3 2008, 9:42 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Stout & Palin – Opposite sides of the same coin?</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I disagree.

If it isn't a point of fact that Mayor Stout has taken political party affiliation into account in making appointments or that it wasn't in fact a tradition for the TC to take turns as Mayor or that he hasn't pursued multiple new public projects then someone should post a response. <br /> <br />As James and CC say, the Township should be nonpartisan.

However, I don't think personal statements about individuals serving on or running for TC is really appropriate in terms of achieving that goal.</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>Guest</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: Wed, Sep 3 2008, 6:24 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Stout & Palin – Opposite sides of the same coin?</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Ouch - I think you are a bit harsh.
