Read the Puppet On A String? – an article about the state of the Republican Party in Rockland County. It should ring a bell.

What we’re trying to do is save the Republican Party. We have a leadership in this County that has made the voters not even want to come out to vote. They’re disgusted with party politics.
…
“We believe that years of ineffective leadership has reduced our party’s relevancy. The erosion of Republican core principles led to the financial calamity we now have in our County. What is the long term impact on the taxpayer, when we no longer have an opposition party to challenge Democrats? The role of the opposition party is to protect the taxpayers from uncontested power of the majority over the minority. The party leadership has forgotten that they work for us and not the other way around. As a result, we are forced to take this less than conventional route to restore these principles by replacing the leadership.

Disturbing news, even more so for those who remember Rockland political party head indicted, an article about the chairwoman of the Rockland County Independence Party being indicted for perjury and falsifying petitions.

You bring the tar, I will bring the feathers.
