Scott Sipprelle either failed or refused to respond to repeated requests by Project Vote Smart--a bi-partisan voter education group dedicated to good government--to indicate his positions on a broad range of issues of importance to voters in New Jersey's 12th Congressional District. What does he have to hide?
I looked at the question and answer pages for Rush Holt and found the questions to be rather generic, nothing out of the ordinary that make one feel that they would be hurting themselves if they answered them. Questions on abortion, health care, gun control, and spending are just a few that Project Vote Smart was asking candidates for their position on. Questions that you would think would play right into the hands of a conservative like Sipprelle. I guess he thought otherwise.
His non-response doesn't surprise me, they way that the Republican Party has been campaigning this year, not wanting the public to know who their candidates are and blurring the lines between them and tea partyers. They just hit the media with anti-incumbant material and provide no solutions of their own.
Here is the link page for Scott Sipprelle, you'll notice that he did not respond to any of the questions:

By contrast, Rush Holt responded promptly and fully more than a month ago to the same request, and you can see his responses in the link below:

Those that are interest and live in the 12th Congressional District want to contact Mr. Sipprelle's office (at 609-356-0320) and ask his people why he won't provide voters the information necessary for them to make an informed decision.

HELLO? Sipprelle is a wall street guy that milked millions out of Morgan Stanley (which should have gone under like Bear and Lehman). It's unbelievable how short New Jersey's memory is. Did Jon Corzine not make enough of a mess?
Say what you want about Rush Holt, but he is a proven administrator. Sipprelle took advantage of a booming economy, made millions at a publicly traded firm, while he made 15 million a year Morgan Stanley stock went side ways. Eventually the firm was insolvent, and taxpayers had to bail them out.
A career in public service should not be bought.
