"Fake Frankie" can hang out with whomever he wishes; he can vote however he desires, but when the Democrat Commissioner tries hide beneath the protective wing of the local GOP, after dumping all over the party platform for nearly a decade, and that disloyal protection continues, "there will be Hell to pay" somewhere, by someone until all is right in the world of Real Republicans here in Beaufort County.
After Saturday's Republican Convention, his asylum from reality is cancelled or will be very soon.

Frankie Waters has always been a fake Republican. He changed only on paper, not deep down in his beliefs. During his first run for commissioner as a "Republican", Frankie and his wife were still contributing to Democrats, including a Democrat legislator. In 2022, Frankie was still up to his old tricks, contributing to the Democrat nominee for sheriff. No wonder he prefers to hang out with the liberal Democrats on the county commission.

Steed, I agree: We take the Knockoff Republicans out in elections; however currently, the idiot Republicans in the local GOP support RINOs over Conservatives, so the public does not have a true understanding as to what is real.
Almost every time the idiot, Jody Forest, told someone I was not a real Republican, but a RINO, they told me of such comments, and I used it against the Beaufort County GOP since I was in an election for the People, not the stupid GOP members that coddled traitorous RINOs within the ranks of that ineffective Beaufort County GOP. That was an untenable situation and must be changed right now.

Stan, the Texas State House of Representatives had a similar arrangement for a number of years. The Speaker was a more liberal Republican and he formed a coalition of Democrats and less conservative Republicans to hold power because he would have lost if he sought the backing of the Republican caucus. He went too far when he crossed Governor Abbot on one of the governor's pet issues, univsersal school choice and blocked the governor's bill in the House. Governor Abbot responded by recruiting and endorsing primary challengers to the Speaker and his allies. The governor's candidate beat most of the Speaker's allies in the primaries and now the Texas state House has a new Speaker who is a solid conservative elected solely by Repbulican legislators and just passed the governor's universal school choice bill.

RINO Hunter: Frankie Waters is a Democrat; Randy Walker is a Democrat. I do not even think of them as RINOs any longer.
They joined the Republican Party so they could fulfill their dreams of growing up to become a Beaufort County Commissioner; by slithering upon their path as an insidious interlopers in this political party that people like Steve Rader, Hood Richardson and Stan Deatherage built here in Beaufort County, each to achieve election as Republicans simply because they could not get elected with an uppercase D by their names; then, as any person with a full working brain can recognize, they govern as Democrats; therefore, I know them as Democrats. Each year in December, when it is time to vote for leadership positions on the county commission, they caucus with the Democratic Socialists on that board of commissioners, combining their ideals to become the Center-Left Coalition, where these Knockoff "Republicans" swap votes for leadership positions to share power throughout the year; continuing to vote in lockstep on major issues to keep their Center-Left Coalition in unison, ergo, the People of this county will pay higher taxes ... It already has happened, it is unavoidable going forward. The Republican Party Platform allows NONE of this behavior, yet it has existed for decades here in Beaufort County because of continued pathetically weak leadership within the Beaufort County GOP. The beginning of the end this abhorrent behavior has just begun. RINO Hunter, you are not the only RINO Remover here in Beaufort County.

Weren't Kelly Cox and Frankie Waters forced to resign from the Executive Committee for openly suporting the Democrat candidate for sheriff in the 2022 general election? Party disloyalty has been dealt with to a point, but one wonders why they have been allowed back in the fold after that?
If I were in your shoes where nominally Republican commissioners form a governing coalition on the county commission with liberal Democrats instead of with fellow Republicans, I would be concerned, too. In fact, all Republican voters should be concerned about that. The election for the current leadership of the commission has already happened, but I hope that the county party will put pressure on all of those who ran as Republicans to actually function as Republicans the next time commissioner officers are elected. Republican voters expect that. Just like he supported the Democrat sheriff candidate in 2022, Frankie Waters has been supporting the Democrats on the county commission. Republican voters expect better.

Still, Party Disloyalty has NO Statute of Limitations.
I have had a belly full of the decades of Party Disloyalty, and I expect that to be solved immediately so that being an elected Republican, a Real Republican in Beaufort County, will mean something again. The Beaufort County GOP now has the opportunity to make full amends and start acting as a real Republican party, and I expect it to do so pretty quick, or the Beaufort County GOP will continue to remain USELESS.

I have been around the Beaufort County Republican conventions longer than anyone now active, having attended my first one as a delegate in 1979 and participated in all of them since that time except fot the five years I was working in eastern Europe advising pro-western political parties there. I guess that made me the oldest rat in the barn on Saturday for the 2025 county convention.
The result of that convention is an opportunity to rebulid working relationships between various groups in the party. Two outgoing leaders who held strong personality disagreements with certain groups did not run again. All four people nominated for those positions were people willing to work with all factions. That changes the chemistry within the party in a very major way. On top of that, we now have all groups being able to participate on the county executive committee. The reelected chairwoman, Carolyn Garris has demonstrated an ability and willingness to work with all groups, as well as strong campaign and fundraising abilities. The doors are now open for everyone to work together to promote the Trump agenda. Personality conflicts do not advance the conservative cause, and hopefully we are now in a position that we can build a party that works cooperatively. We need to be looking forward, not backward. It is critical that President Trump succeed and we need to be able to give him all the help we can.
