RINO Hunter and Van Zant: The moral to our missives to the public: Don't waste your vote on a fake Conservative when there are real Conservatives to be found, and they can be found right here in these digital pages.

That Forest woman was a piece of work, vice chairman of the local party and headquarters manager but she regularly badmouthed conservative candidates right there in the headquarters. I had heard that she was gone but somebody saw her at the GOP tent at early elections. So, has she turned up again, like a bad penny?

Stan: Yeah, conservatives need to come out heavy in the primaries to support you and all proven conservatives. These RINO GOPers get way more excited about beating conservative Republicans than they do about defeating Democrats.
I've also about run out of patience with those that run as conservatives while working against conservatives. How can people working against me be for me? It does not compute. It's a diabolical self-serving game they are playing.

Van Zant: Every general election that I have won for the Beaufort County Commission over the last two decades, I have felt that I was fighting more than just the Democratic Socialist party, and for the last two general election cycles it has gotten much worse.
I have a hunch that my primary for the my re-election will be greatly contested by the Beaufort County GOP RINOs. In this upcoming primary, although I do very well in Beaufort County General Elections, I will need every real Conservative in Beaufort County to find their way to the polls to enthusiastically vote for this one real, proven Conservative - Stan Deatherage - in the 2026 Republican primary. This may be the first, but will not be the only time that Conservative Stan Deatherage will be humbly asking for the wise votes of all real Conservatives.

Whoa. One of the crucial nasty little truths has come out. From this County GOP self-proclaimed intelligentsia camp, is there even one example of a NATIVE conservative NOT being opposed? From this crowd only the outsiders parachuted in and the native RINO/Democrats get a pass. Fact.

For the record....just because you've lived in Cypress Landing for 15 years and have several extra stacks of Yankee money at your disposal doesn't qualify nor guarantee one admittance into local leadership.
If anything, one would be further questioned if they came to a Confederate State with their Northern politics and all their worthless Yankee money to "invest" do they can ultimately come down here to screw up our way of life and then die. They leave us holding the bag. It's a simple fix. They can go back to where they came from and deal with the crap they created. We didn't need them before, we don't need them now.

The problem is that the local GOP Executive committee is loyal to the big dogs in Raleigh and above. NOT to the Local GOP members.
This is because that is where the REWARDS come from, NOT from the powerless WeThePpl of the local description. Everyone is seeking power from the people with the power to give it!! Its heartbreaking. "Lord Give Me Patience, because if you give me Strength I'm going to need bail money."

Steve: Questions must answered about the spending of the money.
When I ran for elected office, probably because of the RINOs that the Beaufort County GOP actively support, which are also my Democrat adversaries, there is no real spending of the money to support me and my Conservative constituents; just that "Forest Woman" running her fool RINO Whispering mouth at the GOP headquarters. There are questions that must be answered going forward; all real Conservatives know that.

Y'all, pay close attention to what Mr. Steve (Rader) just said......I think he's onto something😎.
Both the left corner and the right corner are using the same strategy; it's just being SOLD with different packaging. Hmmmm....what have we just seen, many times over, HERE? Native family representatives are going to have to get involved, in some capacity, to demand accountability and change for this problem to be corrected. The County GOP shall "Make BOCO Great Again" by removing and barring any outside alien from local leadership until proven to have a genuine knowledge of local culture, bull**** and etc. Common sense vetting; this isn't radical, it's simple logic.

You all's party chairman is still spending money and making public pronouncements in the party's name without authorization from the executive committee.

Stan, Republicans have been active in "non-partisan" elections as long as I can remember. When I was still registered to vote in Mecklenburg County in the early 1970s, the local Republican Party there noted that Charlotte was then voting Republican in elections where party labels were on the ballot, but elected Democrats to city office where party labels were not on the ballot. They started widely advertising who the Republicans on the ballot were and started winning most of the city races. Of course, Charlotte has now gone the other direction, and that has not worked in a number of years. I think McCrory as mayor was the last one who benefited before politics there shifted.
At one time, the same dynamics applied in Raleigh, and the Wake County GOP was heavily involved in getting Republican Tom Fetzer elected mayor in a nominally non-partisan race. Of course, partisan dynamics have changed there, too, since that time. Back when judicial races were "non-partisan", the Republican Party was active statewide in working to elect the Republicans who were running for judgeships. This year, the party on the congressional district level, and to a large degree on the state level pushed local parties getting involved in electing Republicans to city offices in officially "non-partisan" races. This is nothing new. It has been going on for some time, and Democrats also do it on their side of the fence many places.

For some reason, here in a political season of a nonpartisan election, the Executive took the initiative to become involved and allocate funding, without meeting and voting for any action to do so.

JV: For years I have been hearing that while Kidwell votes mostly conservative in Raleigh, he twists the knife in the backs of conservatives at home. Now I'm seeing it for myself.
I've been asking some of the Executive Committee members about that "Victory Committee" that some of the people you mentioned are on. The Executive Committee members that I know actually do not know much about it. It seems the committee doesn't report back to the Executive Committee. That is not a healthy situation. The party insiders have really shown their true colors regarding Mrs. Davis. That Forest woman using her position as a Republican Party officer was attacking her during the election cycle. Despite that, Mrs. Davis won over a 40-year incumbent Democrat. Now in her first year in office the local Republican Party insiders are already demanding she resign. These characters seem to be opposed to any real Republican gains. They obviously have other goals. I know there are some good people on the county Republican Executive Committee. They have their hands full dealing with the snakes running things now.

Van Zant: I think that Ol' Karpetbagger Kidwell and Varcoe (both are Yankees) are trying to oust ANY Conservative mind who calls them out on their bulls***; Garris is the public face AND the distraction.
Both Kidwell and his handler, Varcoe, have a proven history of dodging direct questioning and abruptly leaving meetings when "We, The People" hold their feet to the fire. Many have seen this and know these truths to be evident BUT, mysteriously, he is always "reelected"? With that being said, I think the most recent botched hitjob on Mrs. Davis has guaranteed incoming napalm strikes on those who sought to turn the public opinion against her and others who share her scope of view. Kidwell, Varcoe and Garris have stupidly declared war on common sense conservatives who think outside of the box....the very people they CLAIM themselves to be. These are the idiots who sank Atlantis into the Heavens....they never learn. Is the Executive Committee actively recruiting strategic minds?

Van Zant: We have a weak county GOP, and we have had one for a very long time; one where the Chairman has traditionally sought higher office rather than dealing with the issues closer to home, like keeping the house straight, and cleaning it, clearing it when necessary.

Stan: I know for a fact that the 'Forest woman' in her time as a county Republican officer publicly slandered you and the other two conservative commissioners as well as several conservative school board members. Why the heck was she not brought up on party disloyalty charges? It was common knowledge with lots of witnesses.
In recent years the Beaufort County GOP has been disgusting. I hear there are a few more good people on the committee this time. Let's hope they can turn this thing around some. They've got a long way to go to restore community trust.

Hood: Thanks for remembering me as the "Conservative Republican," especially since we elected Conservatives are in such short supply here in Beaufort County ... Always have been.
Van Zant: An additional thanks to you for telling the truth about the Beaufort County GOP, a local party that has long worked to coddle RINOs, while slandering real Conservatives; that 'that Forest woman at the GOP Headquarters' slandered me by proclaiming I was a "RINO." I don't want to see the likes of her, or anyone like her in the Beaufort County GOP ever again. I am NO RINO Whisperer.

I talk to a lot of people that wonder why the Beaufort County Republican Party seems to be so anti-conservative. It's not really a question. It's a fact backed by strong evidence. The party seems to be constantly at odds with long time conservative commissioners Deatherage and Richardson. At the same time, they give preferential treatment to former Democrats Waters and Walker. They're the ones that changed their registrations to run for office. Both of the former Democrats allied with the Democrats when they got on the board. The party didn't even mind when Waters continued to write checks to Democrat candidates.
Which leads me to Commissioner Dunn: The Party leaders tried to kick him of the executive committee for disloyalty. He was exonerated by higher powers, because he was guilty of nothing. The county Republican Party had no problem with members Waters, Cox, and Varcoe writing checks for and or publicly endorsing Democrats. The party also had no problem with that loose cannon Forest woman campaigning against Republicans and FOR Democrats at Republican Headquarters while serving as a Republican officer! Lately, the Republican Chairwoman and a Republican officeholder have publicly attacked a conservative Republican school board member while acting as if they ARE the Beaufort County GOP! I also hear that a shadowy kingmaker committee loosely attached to the county Republican executive committee is planning for "victory" against conservative Republicans in the upcoming Republican primaries. There's a lot more to this. Stay tuned.

If you want to know what it feels like to be invisible, just try to make contact with an elected official, or for that matter, even a candidate for office.
Even locally they completely ignore WeThePpl as if we just werent worth their time and energy. How is it that an elected person or candidate in a town of less than 10,000 citizens, doesnt have any spare time to talk w a fellow citizen and voter??? If a candidate doesnt have time for you before an election, he/she damn sure wont have time for you after they are elected. I emailed several City candidates and got zero response. Why are they so afraid of WeThePpl? Or is it just contempt for us?
