As if Robin Yess and her weird little horde didn't have enough enemies, now she's going out of her way to pick fights with people for no good reason.
Her latest misstep is in criticizing attorney Richard Cahill for taking the republican nomination against Kevin Cahill. She really doesn't get it that her track record on elections is so pathetic that nobody should ever do anything she says in a campaign. Is she still pissed off that her candidate lost the nomination? Doesn't she get it that her endorsement or support is the death blow to any campaign? All the democrats need to do to win an election is get Robin to back the republican. No fundraising or campaigning. Just get Robin to endorse the republican and the democrats win.
That's how poor her political skills are.
Worse, Richard Cahill has said many times that he only took the nomination as a placeholder, not to run. So Robin's dumb shot at him did nothing at all to influence anyone. All it did is get Cahill on the anti-Robin bandwagon.
We at Mocking Robin have to wonder why Robin on her website and her unintelligent playmates to the south of us on their smoke and mirrors blog would do their best to pick a fight with Cahill. Seems like a pretty stupid move to us. Then again, Robin and pals are full of dumb moves.

Expert Opinion
Robin's latest attempt at becoming relevant is a post giving her opinion about the Kevin Cahill race. She talks about how disappointed she is that Kevin is probably going to be running unopposed this year. She complains that Peter Rooney is not running, something he has not made public but which she says she knows for sure.
Surprisingly, we at Mocking Robin are in agreement with the idea that Rooney should run again and force Kevin to at least defend his record. The problem we have is that Robin pretends to be some sort of expert.
She did run for the Assembly against Kevin Cahill 4 years ago. That's sort of a point in her favor. But she got beat like a drum. She got less than 30% of the vote and Kevin got over 60%. That's a 2 to 1 thrashing for anyone who's counting.
Robin also got a grand total of two large donations for her campaign. One was from the county republican committee, the committee led back then by the same Mario Catalano she complained about just 2 months ago. Robin said of Mario "If history is an indicator of future results, wouldn't a position on the “fund-spending” committee be more appropriate?" Kind of funny that she was fine with Mario spending 5 grand on her campaign but not when he spent it on other political purposes.
The other big donation was from some guy in NJ. Every other donation was a few hundred dollars tops.
There also wasn't alot of fundraising done when she was republican chairwoman.
So isn't it a little like the pot calling the kettle black for Robin Yess to give out opinions on who should run against Kevin Cahill or who should be doing fundraising for the republican party?
Think about it. Republicans complain that we have a president who had no record of success before he became president. Now we're supposed to listen to the opinions of someone who also had no record of political success?
We at Mocking Robin think this is pretty ridiculous.

What Is He Smoking?
One of Robin Yess's immature little playmates has started a blog he is calling the Smokeout. Our question is what is this guy smoking? He's apparently either not too bright or he doesn't read the things the leader of his flock of birdbrains is writing on her website. Or both.
Robin accused a former county legislator of running Mocking Robin along with a couple of other blogs. Now her buddy is saying that it is Terry Bernardo behind our site. This is so incredibly comical, like the old black and white silent movies where two guys are trying to go through the same door. I'm sure Robin's pal knows about those movies since he claims to be a former movie maker back in his home country. Too bad nobody ever actually saw any of those movies, at least nobody we know of. Maybe some communist party apparatchiks did in some obscure cabin on the sea. But nobody who actually matters.
Could you guys at least coordinate your fingerpointing so you don't look completely dumb?
Getting back to the point, we must really be getting under the skins of Robin and her tiny cabal. They are desperately trying to figure out who we are. They want so badly for people to believe that we are political leaders because that would allow them to keep telling people that they are victims of some backroom political conspiracy.
Hate to tell you guys, but Mocking Robin is not written by anyone who is or was in the republican party leadership. We are all just everyday folks who have had enough of your kindergarten antics. You can spin it any way you want. We are who we are and it ain't who you think. But keep on accusing people. It's pretty funny.

Credit Where Credit Is Due
Since Robin Yess made mention of this blog in two of her recent posts, our page views have jumped to almost double our best day before. We at Mocking Robin think it only appropriate to thank her for her help in getting our name out there.
On the other hand, she jumps to unfounded conclusions in her posts. We are not republican leaders. We are not republican committeemen. We are not current or former county legislators. We are not members of third parties or some shadowy cabal bent on taking over the county. Not one of us is any of these things.
We can see why Robin would love to think we are these people because she desperately wants to believe that these are the only people who can be annoyed at her mudslinging. The problem with her thought process is that she is not some superhero, fighting for the little guy. She's just a bitter, angry person who hasn't come to grips with her inability to lead the republican party because of her own lack of talent.
We are just people who watch ulster politics and are fed up with the anger and hate. If you think about it, that's not such a bad thing, is it?

Are They Your Friends?
In a new post, Robin Yess is upset that people accuse her of hating the Bernardos. We at Mocking Robin think the proof is in the pudding. Her website is built on an unending series of posts attacking the Bernardos and her bestest buddies run a website and now a blog which has the most sickening, hateful posts about Terry and Len Bernardo.
In a recent post her playmates put on both their site and their blog, they call Terry Bernardo and Jeremy Blaber weasels. Is that responsible politics? Is that the kind of childish trash Robin wants to be associated with?
If she wants to be taken seriously and not accused of hating people, maybe she should distance herself from people who do nothing but hate. Maybe she should do something constructive for a change instead of trying to tear people down.

Lawyer Joke
We at Mocking Robin aren't quite sure who Robin Yess thinks she's fooling with her laughable statements about Langdon Chapman. Her entire position is basically If he ain't from Ulster, he's no good.
Yeah. That makes sense. Take the taxpayers' money and spend it on less than the best just because we want to keep it inside the county.
Now, we know that there are plenty of really good lawyers in Ulster County but that doesn't mean that we have the very best available municipal attorneys. That's not an insult to any lawyer in Ulster. If you need a neurosurgeon, you don't choose the top cardiologist. The cardiologist is probably the best guy to take care of your heart for you. But that doesn't make him a neurosurgeon. Actually, he would probably be a pretty bad neurosurgeon.
We don't just need a lawyer in general. We need the best municipal specialist our money can buy. Just because someone is from Ulster doesn't make him the best.
You would think that Robin, seeing as she's always talking about being fiscally conservative, would want our tax money spent on the very best lawyer we can find. Within driving distance, Chapman is the best. He's one of the most skilled municipal attorneys in the state and we're lucky to have him for such a low price. Plus, we don't have to pay him any benefits because of the way Terry Bernardo negotiated the deal.
So what's the problem? Are we supposed to choose our county legislature attorney by territory? Unless we're dogs marking a tree, that approach is pretty much worthless.
Robins nest in trees. Dogs mark them. Creative visionaries use the wood to build beautiful homes.
That's the difference between Terry Bernardo and Robin Yess. While Bernardo is looking for ways to build our county up, Robin and her band of merry misfits are peeing all over everything and everybody, trying to mark their territory.

Five Birds With One Rock
I guess we're getting under Robin's skin. She posted a video of the Jackson 5 singing Rocking Robin on her site. I guess it's kind of appropriate. Five is the number of people who actually believe her.
