Attacking democracy

A few days ago, Robin Yess sent a letter to Roger Rascoe which she cc-ed to the town republican Chairmen and other party leaders. In her letter, she demanded that Roger force Terry Bernardo to step down as Chairman of the county legislature.

It's no secret that Robin and her hyena horde hate Terry Bernardo. But this time she's actually demanding Rascoe to go against the democratic election of Bernardo.

First, she tells Rascoe that she is raising money from a special interest in order to get Terry thrown out. She says "The Liberty Coalition recently launched a fundraising campaign to increase our efforts and impact and you won't be surprised that we have the support of much of the legal community. We intend to spend every penny we raise to elect a new chair of the Legislature..."

We have no problem with lawyers or even with raising money from professional organizations. But Robin presents herself like some kind of libertarian saint. How does that work when she uses money from a small group of people to throw out someone who was elected democratically?

Then, Robin goes on to say "The majority of Democrats would be happy to support Wayne Harris to replace the current chair. He has the respect of all the legislators and has the experience to do the job in a non-partisan manner. With most of the Democrats on board, only a few Republican votes are needed to make that happen."

So Robin is telling the republican chair that he should get a few legislators to make a deal with the democrats and dump the chair his party elected. She wants him to betray his own party. We're not surprised seeing as how Robin jumped ship the moment things got tough or the way she jumps from party to party every few years.

If that's not bad enough, Wayne Harris has made it clear that he doesn't even want the job so she's dragging someone into her pettiness who doesn't want to be there.

We at Mocking Robin wonder what Robin's two Accord buddies think of this kind of dealmaking. They were pretty angry about the same sort of thing when they accused Terry and Len Bernardo of doing that to keep dizzy Manny off the legislator ticket a couple years ago.

We doubt it will matter though. Robin and her buddies don't care about principles. They care about hurting the Bernardos and nothing else.
