Republican Chairman Minarik Right To Disband Mendon Republicans
I was all set to post about the “controversy” over Republican Party Steve Minarik’s disbanding of the Mendon Republican Committee — but our friends over at Mustard Street have a great post so I will keep this short.
The first point that shows Minarik did the right thing was the fact that the story was leaked to the crazy leftist at Rochesterturning.com. The fact that some “good Republican” would send information to these guys is proof that they are either very dumb or consorting with the political enemy.
Secondly, these guys (the Mendon Republicans) have had their lunch handed to them by Mendon Democrats. In a lot of these hayseed towns, the good old boys nominate who they want, regardless of their electability. Take a look at Parma a couple of years ago. Republicans nominated a guy with ties to that soccer complex nobody wanted and they almost lost the seat to a candidate whose primary experience was delivering pizzas. And, there was a Democrat elected last year in Clarkson.
If the Mendon Republicans were disloyal to the party, Minarik took the right steps . It’s not always easy to make the difficult decisions. Like him or not, he isn’t afraid to do what is best for his party – and that’s one of the main reasons Monroe County Republicans have been on a winning run for over 17 years.

I was surprised to hear the news myself this morning. I am not familiar with the Mendon situation beyond the enrollment advantage. However I understand, I saw the post on the loon blog site and said what the F are these Republicans doing!!!
I have my disagreements with Mr. Minarik, however you are right he has held the party together, unlike the fractured Democrats who seem to require a new leader every two years, that consistency has shown. In this case it looks like he made the right move. These guys were barely even RINO’s (Republicans In Name Only). I would like to see some more shakeup (maybe not as drastic) in other towns as well, where we have lost big advantages.
