There is no internal transparency at all. The appropriate time of reckoning was months ago. A significant number of the executive committee is wanting the issues dealt with. The crooked leadership has delayed for months and is now attacking working members of the committee and trying to illegally have them removed. It is not the honest brokers on the committee that are blocking having these issues dealt with. What we are seeing played out before us is the reckoning that will come from people such as this as they delay for the time to erase all opposition. I'm sure the plan is then to move on after leaving a trail of mistreated people, making a mockery of executive committee rules including due process, and running more good people out of the party entirely. The result of this trail of destruction will lead to a local Republican Party even more alienated from honest people capable of recognizing corruption or even caring about corruption at all.
Ignoring and erasing the results of the last county convention while operating in the form of an illegal, unaccountable shadow committee are not the actions of anyone worthy of a leadership position. The gyrations going on over the last few months are the preparation for sweeping these major issues of abuse of power under the rug. What we are seeing here is about as bad as it gets.

RINO Hunter: I agree. There needs to be a reckoning, and then we move on ... But ... Without the same know-nothing people occupying space in leadership positions in the Beaufort County GOP.
That reality has gone on for far too long, doing far too much damage to real Conservatives that well realize that the RINO element will eventually finish off the Republican Party of Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, and others like them.

Van Zant, I do not see anyone on here defending the actions of Chairwoman Garris. To avoid the sort of turmoil over the allegations that have been raised, there is clearly a need for more internal transparency. The sooner the party can get to the bottom of these things and get them resolved, the better. There comes a time when there needs to be a reckoning and then move on.

Faced with attempts to review and bring some accountability to all the shady business done by these party thugs lately, the party thugs are actually doubling down and attacking more good people with ridiculous charges and no due process whatsoever. To the apologists (maybe it's not plural) for these gangsters that say this is small potatoes next to the important work these ruthless perpetrators of evil are doing politically, I say BS. Perhaps the apologists are actually the perpetrators. If not, they are just as guilty.
Innocent people are being mistreated. That means something to me. It should mean something to any fair-minded person.

Janet: My observation, after nearly three decades of politically dealing with RINOs, these nominal "Republicans" always embrace the status quo, while possessing an unhealthy aversion to principled common sense.
On the other hand, RINO Whisperers have the astute ambition to use RINOs as if they are tools; simple, rudderless hypocrites that can be managed to do their bidding, which actually makes these Whisperers accomplices to a grand political mendacity.

Hood, you have made so many legitimate points that are completely ignored by the hard heads that follow Chairwoman Garris. It's always astounding how the facts seem to confuse some people. They don't want the truth, just their delusions. Like the liberals.

News Flash - The Beaufort County Republican Party is STILL not conducting legal business. They are being run by an illegal shadow committee with no oversight. At this time, they are attempting to purge people they do not like from the executive committee illegally with no legitimate committee process. They are worse than the mafia and it is not even arguable. The people that have hijacked the party are very bad people.

SD: I agree; there has to be a separation of powers AS WELL AS an internal system of checks and balances.....with adequate oversight.
Other than on this publication, the Mr. & Mrs. John Q. Public's of the GOP seem to be unaware of the friggin' lunacy they're paying for....that's a major problem. They're either apathetic OR they're getting smoke blown up somewhere by someone to keep them purposely unaware. Sooner than later, the public needs to start turning up the heat and asking questions. I've already been told that Kidwell refuses to talk to anyone but HIS "Republicans" and that anyone who disagrees with him is considered a "plant". The Emperor doesn't like it when people realize he ain't got no clothes on.

JV: Other than being on the Executive Committee, I have never been an officer.
I have turned down the Chairmanship, on occasion, because I am not called to do such, plus, I have often been an elected public official, and I contend ... Political officers and elected public officials should remain separate.

These major indiscretions within the Beaufort County Republican Party are the harvest of years of party officers using their positions dishonestly and overstepping their powers for their own advantage. That we have people capable of such corruption is hard to believe. The fact that we have people among us that are OK with this level of corruption is disgusting. Beaufort County is a red county. Our organized local Republican Party is a disgrace to the good people of this county. Clean this crooked mess up. Good people have had enough.

I second the "Stan Deatherage Declaration" and also agree that it is, in fact, inarguable to the common sense thinker.
There IS a conspiracy, within the County GOP, to usurp and abuse positions of power through complete disregard, or "misinterpretation", of SOPs that should be common knowledge. Something ain't right and the Black Hats are trying to leave Dodge....with our money!

I am a voting member of the Republican Executive Committee, although I do not take an active role since I am in a Republican primary; however, I will make this one comment, which is 100% true: The Beaufort County Republican Party does NOT fully respect their Plan of Organization, nor do they apply the Republican Party Platform when it comes to dealing with Non Republican behavior by certain protected members, and have NOT done so for longer than a decade.
This Stan Deatherage declaration is inarguable.

Clearly, some of the party leaders do not abide by the plan of organization and operate by pushing their own personal agendas using the party as their platform. These party officers have disrespected the committee as a whole and have gone rogue - so far with no consequences. These atrocities must be addressed if the Beaufort County Republican Party is to retain any credibility. This is corrupt behavior. The violators need to answer for their crimes and receive punishment for their violations of trust.
Truely, there are major issues with abuse of power, maturity, ethics, fair play good sense, and a community mission within the confines of the party. And let's not forget outright dishonest hatefulness, oftentimes directed toward a long and growing list of native conservatives. At this time the Beaufort County Republican party is an embarrassment. If good people on the committee do not find a way to address this monstrosity, this local institution should be shunned by honest people forever. If it comes to that, look at the harm done to the people of Beaufort County. It's bad enough now. It is imperative that confidence be restored for the good of Beaufort County. Isn't that what we all should be working for? Obviously, some of the people involved are not in it for the right reasons. Such people must not be allowed to hold power without the rights to that power. In fact, no one has the right to usurp power.
