Disinformation leaves voters confused

"Devastated the country" - sorry , just agree with that.
Your position is so completely subjective.

BCCitizen- Good point. Inmates are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law and still possess all their individual rights, including the right to remain silent. By no means am I advocating for starvation.

It has been said “the fastest way to a man’s heart, is through his stomach.”

If a man eats better on the inside than he did on the outside, subconsciously he will believe, “this isn’t such a bad place to be”. I have many friends who have at one point or another been incarcerated, we all make mistakes. I would rather though see a bland base diet, that contains all food groups to keep a person healthy, but not exactly what one would call “gourmet”. This acts as a subconscious deterrent, persuading the mind to follow the law for the good of everyone including those in jail.

Concerning the entity claiming this article is full of lies - Two things: 1) More convoluted dishonesty 2) The reason the disloyalty performed by the perpetrators is not addressed is because they cannot address it, since they are guilty of it.

My take on this is that the people embroiled in this hostility probably don't care about anything other than their petty battle. To people of good will on the outside looking in, it's just an off the rails local party doing way more harm than good to the locality they reside in. Expressed in one word: Disgraceful. How anyone could behave like this and delude themselves into thinking they are doing good in the community is beyond me. That makes a person wonder if doing good in the community is even what the motivation is for some of these people. The primary motivation must be just the personal issues. Also, in some instances personal gain.

CV: I agree that Beaufort County's board of elections is reasonably competent.

Director Kelly Hopkins is at the top of all department heads here in Beaufort County government when it comes to competence, and Director Hopkins has exhibited this fine behavior since her inception as leader, and I should know ...

I was a county commissioner when she began as Director nearly 3 decades ago.

Big Bob: You are an ideologue as a Leftist, and you lecture me about governing and "hate."

Now, that is rich considering just how pathetic your Non Patriot Leftist politicians have devastated this Republic, all while being DEI racists and bigots.

"Real" republicans cant govern. They are not capable of it. Their ideology is built on hate.

Stan, the screwup on David Hudson's registration came at the DMV, not the Beaufort County Board of Elections. When Hudson moved back to Beaufort County, he made the mistake of registering there when he got his NC license instead of going to the board of elections. Our local board of elections is pretty competent, but the same cannot be said of DMV, which has an unfortunate habit of screwing up voter registrations, here and elsewhere. I have little doubt that Hudson would have skunked Allen in a Republican primary, but thanks to DMV he had to run as an unaffiliated even though he did get his registration corrected to Republican once he became aware of DMV's screwup.

The lesson is that if you want to get someone properly registered to vote, NEVER send them to the DMV. Make sure they go to the Board of Elections.

Firebrand: I do understand you loud and clear: RINOs despise real Republicans ... at least they do here in Beaufort County, especially with a current sympathetic Beaufort County GOP that completely disregards the GOP Party Platform.

The only twisting and winding the truth and disloyalty come from the PAC. David Hudson ran as an Unaffiliated Candidate. He obviously did not follow procedures to run as the Republican candidate in the primary. So who didn’t “Vet” their candidate? He couldn’t even spell School correctly.

Commented: Friday, December 20th, 2024 @ 7:02 pm By: Firebrand

That "unaffiliated candidate," as per my conversations with David Hudson, was a mistake by our board of elections, or the process of registration; regardless, if he could have run in the Republican Primary, then we might NOW have a real Republican school board.

I am currently working with Dave Hudson on a number of projects, and I can vouch for what I know about Mr. Hudson, not least of which is his real Republican qualities, which are superb; and, of course, I would know of such after all the RINOs I have had the bold displeasure to deal with here in Beaufort County government.

I looked up the voter registration of those Belhaven school board candidates on the Board of Elections website, and both were registered Republican. I understand one was officially the Republican candidate and the other wasn't, but both were actual Republicans. Of course, the other difference was that the official candidate is totally under the thumb of the liberal school superintendant, and the other candidate wasn't.

The sample ballots are one thing. The actions of BC GOP officers/staff at HQs and other public places are another thing. People that twist and wind the truth cannot be trusted. Disloyalty is still disloyalty. There are no passes for, fill in the blank, derangement syndrome or other forms of personal pettiness and outright hatred. People without the character and discipline to function within the constraints of party duties should not be allowed to operate without very strong supervision.

Wasn’t one of your candidates an unaffiliated candidate and the other wasn’t registered to vote until she signed up to run. Anytime I went to the headquarters all Republicans were on the sample ballot unlike your PAC ballot.

Will - the State has enormous power and can take away your constitutional rights if convicted. Fair. However, with that power comes responsibility. These people will get out someday and return to our neighborhoods. Its good policy to treat them with some dignity or face the consequence of turning them into monsters.
Should they get steak? No. But a varied healthy diet of which a peanut butter sandwich qualifies is the right thing to do.

Some of the jail inmates are serving time. Misdemeanor sentences are served in the county jail. There are also people there for contempt for not paying their child support, and also those charged with serious crimes who cannot make bond. Under our local Democrat judges, bond policy in our judicial district has been liberalized to the point that bonds tend to be small unless the criminal offense is extremely serious.

Will, the inmates are not convicted criminals. They are innocent until proven guilty. By law, they have to receive 2 hot meals a day. So, no, all they need is not a peanut butter sandwich.

Commented: Thursday, December 19th, 2024 @ 10:04 am By: BCCitizen

Why are county officials more concerned about the complaints of inmates, than regular citizens?

They are lucky to get chicken, really and truly all they need is peanut butter sandwich and an apple.

Bizarro world indeeed.

BC voters tend to vote republican. They do not tend to vote nut job republican.

The BO seems to think voters can’t tell the difference.
