Quinten, Republicans in Middletown are changing party's because they are that angry at you and the other Ultra Liberal Progressive Terrorist hostile takeover of the Middletown DTC.
YOU AND YOUR SLATE WILL NOT GET ELECTED. Middletown is going to take Middletown back from you outsiders.
You spelled his name wrong. No worries. Once he wins the 9th, you'll see his name enough to learn it.
1. His name is Quintin.
2. Please clarify what it is you think makes a group of Middletown residents who saw a need for change and acted on it terrorists.
3. I’m not sure what you mean by “outsiders”, “Q” was born and raised in Middletown and has been a public servant for a long time.
*once he wins the 100th
You Progressives have never won a race and you wont here. I will stick with "Q". Thank you.

I think progressives like myself, Stephen Devoto, Q Phipps himself, Marilyn Rios, Lisa Loomis and others would be surprised to find that they'd never won an election.
Like most anonymous posters, you seem to derive more satisfaction from name-calling and lies, than you do from considering fact.
Here's one. My name is Ed, what's yours?
I think that is precisely one of the problems...too many 'insiders' in Middletown.
I am more interested in what Quentin Phipps and Robert Santangelo see as their qualifications and accomplishments. And I will be interested in any upcoming debates among potential candidates.
What are the candidates thoughts on tolls, gas taxes, property taxes & spending?
