Princeton, February 3, 2010 – Businessman and 12th district congressional candidate Scott Sipprelle (R-Princeton) released the following statement today in response to newspaper reports regarding President Obama’s plans to increase the federal workforce to its largest size in years:
"The Obama Administration and the Pelosi Congress simply don't understand what is required to revitalize the American economy," said Sipprelle, citing a Washington Times story saying the President's new budget seeks to increase the number of federal employees to 2.15 million, eclipsing 2 million for the first time since the 1990's. "We need to increase private sector jobs, not public sector jobs. We need to reduce the cost of government, not increase it. Until we can seat a Congress that understands the factors which create national prosperity, we will continue to slide down a dangerous economic path with terrible consequences for our job-seekers and our taxpayers."

Okay the posts by the two compaigns on this site make this choice easy. Where do I get a Sipprelle bumper sticker!
I'm speechless. What a visionary statement! I don't even know why Mr. Sipprelle is wasting his time in this worthless district of ours, instead of preparing to meet his destiny and become President Sipprelle in 2012!
Chris, Halfacre and Fitzsimmons are simply screwing up their candidacy,with the silliness and negativity, admit it..stop with the "local boy" philosophy, and get with the bigger picture: let all the millionnaires fight the entrenced Dems this year, and, if they're voting with this Pres. and against us, drive them nuts and make them one-termers,in 2012!!
Chris Fotache (above) gave $2,000 to Halfacre's doomed campaign.
It's a tough fact of political reality: you need money to run a campaign.....LOTS of it in this NYC media market. And the Dems have LOTS of it. If the GOP candidate doesn't, plus only knows how to use the childish 'amateur hour' tactics I've seen here, Holt is re-elected.
Thusfar Halfacre and his lot have not heeded the advice, and it doesn't look like they are going to. That said, if he wins this primary, the GOP is doomed in the 12th...and it misses the greatest opportunity it has had in nearly a decade.
Siprelle has been in the race for a few weeks, he hasnt been able to answer the first hard question he was asked and he and his supporters are whining like little girls about it. What exactly leads us to believe this guy can beat Rush Holt? If this guy cant take a few jabs in January, how is he going to hold up through a knock down drag out campaign? You can have 20 million dollars, you cant buy a replacement for a glass jaw.
Anon 12:18 has it completely wrong..its never been easier to bridge the money gap than it is today. But you have to have the right candidate, and so far Scott Siprelle looks like anything but that.
Sipprelle (almost all of the above) gave $1,000 to Schumer's socialist campaign. Just sayin'.
to 1:07 a.m. - look that type of Obama nonsense works with stupid dems but real Republicans don't beleive nonsense just because someone types it. The only whining I have seen on these pages is from the Halfacre campaign. You can keep beating the same broken drum all day with Chris but I have no dog in this race and what is going on here gives me no choice but to vote for Sipprelle. Whaaa Whaaa Whaaa $1,000 to chuckie $95,000 to GOP. Are there really any Republicans stupid enough to give a rats a-- about that? Glenn Beck nailed it the other night the GOP is going to loose the base to the tea party if they don't wake up. The syndrome may become known as pulling a Halfacre if his campaign doesn't grow up now.
So you think that a new Congress should be voted in, based on who has more money? No other qualifications or political experience needed? Then maybe Corzine should be president, and Solomon Dwek governor of NJ. Maybe James Cameron for vice president? We could even do away with elections, and auction all the seats.
The point is, just because you have money doesn't mean you can be a politician. Most people who have money and are really concerned about politics (without having any prior experience) use that money to support someone who can do that job.
Ignoring maybe, but isn't all the whining coming from the Fitzsimmons...ooops, I mean the Halfacre campaign??
Chris, why the bitterness? And do you really think that $1000 to Schumer vs. $95,000 to Republicans shifted the political scales to the left instead of the right? Holt's fundraising appeal, which I have in my hand, certainly doesn't think so.
Are you guys playing with a full deck?
A.G.
"....it's never been easier to bridge the money gap than it is today ...."
REallY? And how do you intend to pay for advertising? Is Halfacre going to 'fight' the press ... put up his big, bad dukes and let 'em have it? Please, spare us the dreaming; he's out of his league on so many levels it isn't even funny. America can't afford to dream right now. The best message is no message at all if it can't be heard, or if it is buried under an avalanche of well-funded finely-honed press releases from competent, professional, and highly paid political operatives with experience in national campaigns. Don't think that won't be the case here; the Dems have too much to lose. And Halfacre has too much baggage and not enough money for the ride ... especially since it is not his beloved "Chamber train".
" Glenn Beck nailed it the other night the GOP is going to loose the base to the tea party if they don't wake up."
This is so true. They are not to be minimized, or taken for granted.
Sipprelle has his musket's site firmly fixed on the enemy in D.C. and blasting them, while Halfacre just keeps taking desperate potshots at Sipprelle with his slingshot.
This is been interesting.
From what I can see the positions of the candidates are virtually identical. The only difference I have seen is that one is better at projecting passion and one has a lot of cash to back up his campaign.
There also appears to be (and this in some ways relates to the above) temperment issues.
Now if a social conservative where to jump into the race you would seeSipperelle and halfacre split the moderate republican vote and the social conservative would win with about 40% of the vote.
Must be rough being Mike Halfacre. . .
During the public portion of the meeting, the mayor spoke sharply to a borough resident when she said that the town’s purchasing process for the land for a riverfront park would have been completed more quickly in another town.
“I suggest you move there,” Halfacre said.
Prior to that, he told the same resident, when she said some of the lights in the town that were the borough’s responsibility were not working, that “we have a lot bigger items” to deal with than the lights. He later apologized to her and said he had had “a long day.”
