Even The Liberals Can See Through RICHard Dollinger, Sandy Frankel and Willa Powell
Take a look at Water Buffalo Press’ take on RICHard Dollinger, Sandy Frankel and Willa Powell’s protest last week outside of Joe Robach’s office — It’s really well done:
What a beautiful day to grandstand
NYS Senate hopefuls Rick Dollinger, Sandra Frankel and Willa Powell could not have had better weather in which to grandstand, I mean demonstrate, outside the office of Senator Joe Robach yesterday.
See our earlier post on the matter that caused all the hub-bub for the background on this story which led to the Rochester branch’s NOW-organized picket:
Barbara Moore, secretary of the Rochester chapter of NOW, said she didn’t think the candidates were using the issue for political gain.
“Economic justice, the economy, is the bedrock of the Democratic party and these are strong Democrats,” she said. “Democrats care about raising people out of poverty. They know something has to be done and they know pay equity is the way to do that.”
Uh-huh. What Moore failed to mention is that Robach’s bill passed the Senate unanimously with bi-partisan support. Moore also failed to address the mythological nature of discriminatory pay practices in New York and across the country.
Well done WBP!

Think about what it would be like if we did not need blogs to bring us the message. If the Democrat & Chronicle reporters and editors did their work and actually were objective reporters.
We would have a town with an honest press and a growing subscriber base. I have long ago cancelled my subscription, because I just do not think the D&C is doing a complete job.
Well done Water Buffalo Press, Well done Monroe Rising!
Sadly, for the Democrat & Chronicle, Sandy Frankel, RICHard Dollinger and Willa Powell, the protest is more important to them than the issue itself. Typical for all usual suspects.
News reporting across the state mentioned that Senator Johnson’s bill was introduced in “an effort to embarrass Robach,” NOT to solve the issue or address inequities, but to embarrass another elected official.
That’s how Senate Democrats view submitting bills in this state.
May God help us if they EVER steal the Senate.
Fortunately for now, with their leader and finacial bankroller Elliot “Client #9″ Spitzer brought low by his illegal activities, Dollinger/Frankel have no Sugar Daddy Warbucks to pay for their nasty attack campaigns.
Awwww, too bad. Maybe RICHard can go back to being a Brighton Town Judge.
Ooops! Sandy took care to make sure THAT never happens.
Nice one Sandy.
I think “the Liberals” are just as disgusted with dysfunction and politics-as-usual as “the Conservatives”.
What the Dems are really overlooking (they are not overlooking it actually, they are just not telling you the truth because then they couldn’t use it as a campaign issue) is that the whole premise this debate centers on, pay inequity as a result of discrimination, is not true.
Surprise, surprise - it’s simply an effect of the free market of which you guys seem to fans. Read the truth:

These three should be ashamed of themselves. Using an issue concerning women and minorities for their own political gain is disgusting. I’ll gladly tell all my friends and family to NOT support whomever wins the democrats primary this year. Personally, I’m proudly going to vote for Joe Robach.
