Mayor Guinta - Stay With A Winner

Maybe I'm confused.

Mayor Frank Guinta is up for re-election after serving two years as Mayor of Manchester. Easy enough to understand.

His opponent is an attorney who was on the Manchester School Board. One of his main campaign themes is a promise to make education better.

Mayor Frank is already working on that, just like he is at reducing crime - down a considerable sum, and cutting taxes - which he has done as promised in his first campaign.

Now the Mayor's opponent thinks Mayor Guinta is weak on education?

Then how, two years ago, did Mayor Guinta give such a shellacking to "Mayor For Life" Bob Baines the former school teacher? If anyone is "pro-education" you would think it was Bob Baines.

I think former Mayor Baine's idea of pro-education was simply throwing more money at it. The voters probably picked up on that as well.

So the reason Manchester voters should jump on board another tax and spend platform with Attorney Donovan is...

There isn't one.

Once again you don't know what you are talking about.

FACT: Guinta ran on cutting taxes, three failing high schools and cutting crime.

FACT: He has done ZERO on any of the three.

FACT: Now ALL 21 schools in Manchester are labeled as failing.

FACT: Murders, robberies and violent assaults have risen by double digits.

FACT: Many residents saw their taxes go up 20%

FACT FINDER: Guinta cut taxes for first time this decade

FACT FINDER: Improved our schools from the Manchester perspective --- not Washington's

FACT FINDER: Donovan knows nothing about Public Safety by meeting with Police Chief for a mere 30 minutes. Gimme a break!

Ed is right on --- Vote Guinta on November 6

Ah, Manchester's Amsterdam Democrat comes to the rescue with his thoughtful inside information.

Guinta hasn't kept ONE SINGLE PROMISE since being elected. He's played politics and doesn't have a deep understanding of any issue. He's playing all of you in order to get to the top of his political career. At least with Tom Donovan we have someone who is invested in our community and that cares about the people in Manchester. Tom is not here to lilly-pad up to the next level. It's time to send Frank back to Jersey.

The fact remains...Frank Guinta admitted he hadn,t time to study education...Education is important to me as a concerned parent....We are raising the next generation of leadership....Retire Frank Guinta and give him time to understand just why education is important to those who have to clean up the mess the republican party has made of life in general,due to leadership from such as he.

Nice to see that The Pedophile is resorting to ethnic slurs to bash Guinta. Tom must be so proud of you!

It's despicabale that the only thing the Dems seem to be running on are negative attacks and mud slinging. Guinta has changed the tone of government in Manchester and that is a breathe of fresh air! After 6 consecutive years of tax increases under Bob Baines, it was finally a relief to see a Mayor that propsed budgets that included bonafide tax cuts. Too bad the Dem controlled board wouldnlt pass them and give the taxpayers of Manchester that much needed tax cut. Instead, this year, they again turned down Guinta's budget and instead took one time monies from economic development and passed THAT off to the people of Manchester as a tax cut.

People need to wake up and elect some REAL leaders - people that will look out for our wallets for a change. Elect Guinta, Duval, Garrity, Pepino, Sullivan, Pinard, Greazzo, Roberts, Hirshmann, and Verville!

Cameron:

Are you saying that after six years of tax increases under the "education mayor" Manchester wasn't the top school in the state?

I'm shocked.

.....The fact remains...Frank Guinta admitted he hadn,t time to study education...As a concerned parent,what could be more than raising the next generation of leadership to higher standards than ours?....Our children are our future. Frank Weaver

Frank, that's crap. You really should think for yourself and not just spew back the nonsense spouted by Buckley, Soucy, and Pappas.

Guinta said that he hadn't been able to devote as much time to education as he would have liked because the crime problem was consuming so much of his time and efforts. That's quite a different statement than what the slime slingers at the city committee are claiming.

According to a very good siurce, the fact is Guinta did not have time for education because he was out drinking and smoking so much at night all because he wanted to have people tell him how great he is and because he IS a drunk. No one knows about that but it is true. Instead of drinking captain and morgans and smoking a pack of cigarrettes Guinta should have been hard at work, Frank work? Now that's a laugh.

.....he fact remains...Framk Guinta stated that he hadn,t time to study education....Hadn,t time? To me, a concerned parent, let,s give him time to study why education is so important to us who are raising the next generation of leadership to undo the mistakes of the past....Time for a change....Frank Guinta must go....Frank Weaver

So now we are resorting to accusing Frank of being a drunk? You guys are pathetic.

I know of only one Manchester mayor who was stopped for drunk driving on Route 101 in the last few years, and it wasn't Frank Guinta, Ray Wieczorek, Syl Dupuis, Emile Beaulieau or Bob Shaw.

By the way, for all you gin and tonic drinkers at Donovan headquarters, it's "Captain Morgan".

Pretty sad to read the mentality of the average Manchester GOP operative. Lies, smears and anger. No wonder the rest of the state thinks of you all as jokes.

Wait a second, Fergie. It was the Buckley Boys (probably the pedophile himself) that posted the accusation against Frank Guinta.

Stop being such a crybaby when Bob Baine's sleazy personal behavior is brought up!

Readers:

I often write about Manchester just to prove a point.

In this case two points:

1. Frank Guinta is the hands on favorite to win tomorrow because he has EARNED that position.

2. Manchester politics are some of the most bottom feeding in the state and that is because of years of Amsterdam Democrat style slash and burn campaigns. It is getting old. It has run it's course. The last minute slander mailing just doesn't have the clout it used to.

See how sad the Amsterdam Democrat comments are on this blog.
