How Many is that now?
Seriously..I lost count.
To be seen in this thread:
Mercer Insider : Nobody knows where he stands on abortion because he "tailors his response"
Martin/Mercer Insider/Grover Cleveland: He doesn't fill out project vote smart!!!
Somebody (probably Grover or Luvitz): He investigated himself with that symphany thing years ago
Grover or whoever: That poor Military Mom thing that happened in 2004!
Did I take all your material away guys?
Yay for Bill! (n/t)

Baroni Clean Elections & Unknown Politics
Backwardsjersey: You are right,
I want to world to know that Baroni doesn't want the world to know what positions he takes, until he answers the "Project Vote Smart,"
I will continue to post his lack of response for the world to see, hopefully people will see that Baroni is all talk and no action about and open election process.
ALL PLEASE VISIT BARONI'S RESPONSE TO PROJECT VOTE SMART:
http://www.vote-smart.org/npat.php?can_id=43210
and the great rebuttal to that is..
I think the people in the 14th know where Bill Baroni stands without the aid of an "x" here and there on project vote smart.
I think that'll be clear to you in November.
Here's a trivia question for you mr. insider: Who led all Assembly candidates in the 14th district elections both in 2003 and 2005?
Come on..it's an easy one.
Here's The Answer - Baroni- and Here's The Question
Here a better riddle for you, who obfuscated his position on abortion such that the “The Trenton Times,” needed to state that they made a mistake and that Baroni was ANTI-ABORTION.
That is why it is so important for Baroni to answer the questionnaire so that he is on record in black and white as to where he stands on the issues.
Please visit Baroni’s response to “Project Vote Smart,” at:
http://www.vote-smart.org/npat.php?can_id=43210 to see his positions
I love arguing with Mercer Insider
Didn't I already beat your argument on that? Did you somehow miss the Trenton Times saying it was THEIR fault.
Oh no Baroni is ANTI-ABORTION!!
Good Heavens..someone who believes in the value of human life!!! Let's vote him out because of it!
Frankly I don't necessarily agree with that position 100% but that's not how I judge my legislative representatives.
By the way send a letter of thank you to Wayne DeAngelo for making sure this year being ANTI-ABORTION won't be one of the tactics used by Singh and Greenstein?.
Seriously you must work for one of those two. In all my days in the 14th I've never met someone who hates Baroni as much as you do.
What is Baroni Afraid of?
Backwardsjersey: Why is Baroni so afraid to state his position on Project Vote Smart? Until Baroni completes the questionnaire I will continue to bring it up: Please read Baroni's response to "Project Vote Smart at": http://www.vote-smart.org/npat.php?can_id=43210
do you even live in the 14th?
Bill Baroni doesn't need project vote smart to articulate his positions. He can do that just fine while he's knocking on the unbelievable amounts of doors.
Seriously will your issue change anybody in the 14ths mind about voting for Baroni?
Nope.
Get a better more substantive issue and get back to me. Until then, I'm not going to even bother responding to you anymore.
I'm looking forward to the debates this October, hope to see you there with your anti-bill baroni shirt.
Baroni Doesn't Want People to Know Where he Stands
Bill Baroni and the rest of his Republican team do not want to publicly state there position.
