Bob Franks announced in Kenilworth that as a candidate for the office of Governor of the State of New Jersey, he would "reform Trenton." He also pledged that he would seek to curb special interests, call for direct initiative and referendum and seek to implement term limits on members of the State Senate and Assembly.
These are all good campaign promises from Mr. Franks. The only problem is the fact that as an Assemblyman from Union County in the early 1990s, and also as chairman of the New Jersey Republican Party back then, he made these same promises when Republicans took control of the State Senate and Assembly in 1991. Once he succeeded in getting Republicans into the majority, he did not get any of these measures passed. In 1982 he even failed.
There is an old saying, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." Mr. Franks, if he is the Republican choice to run for Governor, will not manage to carry out any of these pledges. Count on it! He is only in this race because of the fact that the New Jersey Republican Party wants to prevent anti reform conservative Bret Schundler from getting the nomination, and because those who run the party apparatus in Trenton want to maintain power at all cost. Thus, there is no question that Mr. Franks is nothing more than the stooge of the party bosses in Trenton. A puppet doing their bidding, if you will.
The people of New Jersey want a Governor that they can be proud off. That when a promise is made, it is kept. That puts the interests of the people first. That is why the Libertarian Party Gubernatorial Candidate Mark Edgerton is the logical choice. He believes in freedom. He is a true reformer when it comes to cutting taxes and other issues, and above all else, he is the true outsider in this race. He is the real McCoy. James McGreevy, Bob Franks, Bret Schundler, don't even come close. For them to claim that they are outsiders is comical not to mention ridiculous. They are embarrassing themselves.
