Lobbyists and RINO Politicians Seek
Total Control over GOP Leadership
Sooner Politics David Van published an excellent article last week covering the possible motivation for GOP Chairman Pam Pollard's heavy handed abuse of her authority. Pollard has tried and succeeded in manipulating several county GOP conventions, even throwing out one set of duly elected county leaders and their delegates to the state convention in favor of her own hand picked chairman, vice chair, and delegates.
Van did attempt to guess the authorship of an anonymous legislator that had written an account of the Coal County GOP convention debacle. While the side bar article mentions a legislator we can confirm that it wasn't that legislator that had written the piece.
Pollard seems to have an agenda in place and no one is quite sure what she is up to. It might be a dark horse candidate such as Estella Hernandez, a former GOP state vice chair that was considered a rising national GOP star until she was defeated in a special election after she viciously worked to hound duly elected Randy Brogdon out of the GOP chair position. Hernandez had been recorded berating then GOP chairman Randy Brogdon before she made allegations against Brogdon for screaming at her during the exchange. Of course it was Hernandez doing the screaming and out of control belittling of her superior. The audio tape was listened to and discussed by Pat Campbell at KFAQ talk radio in Tulsa but STP released the entire tape the night before the special election. You can listen and download the entire audio tape by clicking this link. Estella refuses to stop undermining the chairman even after being read the state rules that state she is to support the state chairman's agenda. Her shrill voice berates Brogdon including accusing him of using her as a puppet.
Estella Hernandez was also busted employing illegal Mexican aliens at her business. STP had put a couple of private eyes to checking out one of their job sites, resulting in a video featuring Hernandez's husband and one illegal alien worker that couldn't speak a lick of English.

The two scandals together ruined Estella Hernandez politically. At the special election meeting she got on stage with around 30 supporters including the notorious RINO political hack John Roberts, AKA "fat bastard", a nickname you will find fitting once you see a picture of him. Pam Pollard got on stage with two supporters, yet Pollard won the most votes and Hernandez wisely conceded the race as she had been soundly beaten with about as many votes as she had supporters on stage with her.
Meanwhile Pam Pollard, the current GOP State Chair, has refused to send the rule changes to the County Chairs and Vice Chairs ten days before the convention as required by the rules if we are to vote on them on April 5th. Pollard might be seeking a situation where she can force a vote by getting everyone to vote for a suspension of the rules without having time to read the proposed rules, digest them, and ask questions.
We are not sure exactly what Pam Pollard and James Lankford have planned for the upcoming GOP State Convention but Pollard is taking some major heat and sticking her neck out committing obvious infractions against the GOP Party rules and she is doing so for a reason. Delegates to the April 5th convention need to be ready to vote no on the party rules change and be ready to sniff out a dark horse candidate being pushed to win the GOP chairmanship.
