BOB BAINES PROVES WHAT HE SAYS AND WHAT HE DOES DIFFER

GOP Calls On Baines To Keep Promise

"Frank Guinta has a competency gap." Raymond Buckley, Chairman of the Manchester City Democrats (Union Leader, July 4, 2004)

(Referring to Frank Guinta) "skunk at Manchester's garden party," Brain Fallon, Executive Director of the Manchester City Democrats, ( June 27, 2005, MCD Press Release)

(Referring to republicans)" misfits, malcontents and mental munchkins." Ray Buckley, (Flag Day Dinner, June, 2005)

"Guinta’s biggest supporter so far appears to be Frank Guinta" Brian Fallon (June 5, 2005, Manchester City Democrats Press Release)

(Regarding negative politics and personal attacks) "Let’s get rid of it here in Manchester. Let’s start a movement across the country." Mayor Bob Baines, Election Night, 2003

Mayor Bob Baines and his party have been slinging attacks at Republicans continuously for the past several weeks despite Baines own self-proclaimed pursuit to lead the charge against this kind of negative campaigning. "We would like to know what happened to this pronouncement he made when he was elected in 2003," said Cliff Hurst, Chairman of the Manchester City Republicans. "He said he wanted to get rid of negative campaigning and personal attacks and yet he leads the party of inflammatory and derogatory remarks. Mayor Baines should stand behind his own statements and call on his Party’s Chairman Ray Buckley and his Party’s Executive Director Brian Fallon to stop slandering Republicans on his behalf."

The Manchester Republican Committee is calling on the Mayor to ask his operatives to run a clean election and engage in debate on the issues; not on party rhetoric and personal attacks.
