Vote Scott Sipprelle for Congress

WARNING: Do not break the law before, during, or after reading anything I mention.


The Fair Haven Mayor has worked on the local zoning board, recently became mayor, still serving in that capacity, waging battles over cell-phone tower placement, erecting parks, writing letters to editors, lowering taxes, getting the garbage collected, parading around his quaint little town and all he did for it, all the while drumming up weak support on a continual self-promoting tour that has gone on for quite some time already, which has not produced much at all. Do you know what Scott Sipprelle was doing? He was working in the private sector, creating real jobs, and dealing with the complex array of regulatory measures that make it difficult to be successful, especially in New Jersey. That is practical experience needed in a legislator when trying to identify and correct impediments to economic growth.

The Mayor of ye old Fair Haven has assailed Mr. Sipprelle’s character from the beginning. All of you know the story, the one about the evil “hedge fund manager,” and now “venture capitalist,” oh my, very scary, let me go on, or maybe, short, but with a covered option mind you. The Mayor’s intention, or that of his wire-pullers, is to impugn Mr. Sipprelle’s character with the artful device of guilty by association, and capitalize, as a desperate, opportunistic, and perpetual candidate does, on the swirling fears and apprehensions buzzing around our political discourse. It is usually marked by immediate and passionate strokes of boldness, but usually calms during the normal course of time, when reason and logic overcome cynicism and insult. This kind of dissimulative behavior is all too predictable, very stale, and shows this citizen, at least, that the Mayor does not have any real issues, or material differences in policy.

Just look at the website http://supportscott2010.com/ and you will see more good than bad in Sipprelle’s particulars, rather then the general and wispy notions expressed on the Mayor’s website. I recommend Fair Haven’s Mayor to view his opponent’s website, it is full of great ideas and insights, maybe he can remain as a public servant, and put those all too familiar character assassinations to rest, and put some of Sipprelle’s ideas to work in his tidy little town. We do not need anyone that is so quick to avoid debate on the real issues. The Mayor seeks to distract reason to evoke certain emotions, but, that is the fine quality of lawyers who shine when they seek to sway the mind, and mostly the heart, of jurors, in this case the electorate, no matter what side of the law they argue; see, it is really cheap, and too easy to play that old game, it is opportunistic rabble.

We need real ideas and legitimate arguments from our candidates, not general talking points derived from polls asking .0005% of the population. The only poll that matters is the one conducted in the ballot box, and that is even an incomplete assessment of popular will, 60% vote, what a disgrace. Polls are crafted from the semantically arranged question that is intended, or not, to evoke a certain response, or push a specific agenda or viewpoint.

VOTE SCOTT SIPPRELLE FOR CONGRESS; he possesses the private sector experience, independence, integrity, and character needed in a public servant representing us in our national assembly.
