As the old staying goes, “people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.” Robertson has a sweet series of perks of her own as county legislator and former chair. She sits behind a 100K desk. She had the shoulders of her own road painted green to (ineffectively) slow down traffic in front of her home at a cost of 17K. She took pay as chairperson of the legislature for a period before she actually got elected to the job. Given her voting record, Robertson must focus on Reed, her voting record won’t sell outside Tompkins County. It’s all a diversion.

Why am I not surprise that you don’t try to defend Reed’s actions but decided to attack the messenger? It is bad enough that he voted to shutdown the government, but he also voted to keep the House Gym, Barbershop, Salon and Dining Room open while people in our district had their cancer treatments delayed.

Democrats are like the major media: they all seem to rehearse the same talking points on every issue.

I take great encouragement that the Democrats see NY-23 as a major “red to blue” pickup opportunity. For one thing, it means they don’t have many to choose from.

So it is based on the close balance (R+3) of the voting record of the district, and the fact that Robertson appears to be female.

BTW, Tom Reed’s ACU ratings are 52 this year, 77 lifetime – or almost exactly the same as Thad Cochran (although on fewer years for lifetime, of course).

“I’d email the Robertson campaign for comment, but they never respond anyway.”

You could send them a Scan-Tron formatted questionnaire, Prof.

0 Our candidate spoke about this issue prior to the DCNCC sending out that fax.

0 She mentioned this three months or more ago.

0 Ms. Robertson solemnly swears the identical language used in her materials and the DCNCC material is an unfortunate happenstance.

(Be sure to completely darken the “0” beside your response with a No. 2 lead pencil.)

This cut-n-paste of Democrat Party talking points is a clear indication that Robertson will be a robotic Democrat Member of Congress, voting, not based on the Constitution (to which she will take an oath of faithfulness; fingers crossed of course), but on whatever whim enters Pelosi’s socialist mindset.

Robertson will NOT check and balance against the executive despite this Democrat president clear violations of law.
