TBT: There are parts of this story that don't add up; I know how both sides can "play it up" BUT the County GOP is obviously projecting here....playing the victim.

It's funny how THEY, the infamous "Trinity of the County GOP", get alllll bent out of shape about someone refers to THEM as Nazis but have no issue with using direct Nazi terminology when they try to get them ol' Unaffiliated votes from Brabo's base!?!?

I would be curious to know if the GOP could provide accurate minutes and/or unedited video footage documenting this incident (for educational purposes and situational context). If so, the public could decide, not a select few, on the situation.

Unless proven otherwise, from what I've been able to gather, certain Republicans ARE acting as Nazis, from the dictatorial standpoint. It don't take Steve Jobs to figure this out.

CP: You're right. The Chairwoman is not removing people from the committee by the procedures of the Plan of Organization. She is doing these things unilaterally. She's abusing her power and is out of control. The Plan does not give her the power to be accuser, judge, and jury.

Additionally, the Plan does not give her (and her friends) the power to unilaterally make decisions and spend money without the permission of the Executive Committee.

“These individuals, according to Garris, were no longer members of the committee as she had unilaterally removed them from the committee late Tuesday evening, the 6th. Garris stated that Executive Committee 2nd Vice Chair Janet Knight, former Washington City Council candidate Sheri Clark and Commissioner Hood Richardson had been removed from the committee for reasons of party disloyalty”.

This sounds very much like another democratic scheme to remove opposition from a decision. Garris MUST be investigated as to why she thinks party loyalty has been committed. Democrats and RINO‘s are lying tricksters who create scenarios in their head, then transplant that thought into reality.

Van Zant is my kind of dude; his "perception" goes beyond those of the scripts handed down from Raleigh, DC, London or Davos. His view is more based off of common sense awareness and not of mainstream political kool-aid manufacturers.

There needs to be MORE "Van Zants" and less "Conservative Voter"-type tunnel vision in the GOP; the Garris's and the Kidwell's of the political realm are terrified of the "Van Zants" finding the glitches in the matrix, so to say.

We're getting down to the short rows here and whatever happens...happens; let the cards fall as they will and let the public, not a select fee, decided for themselves.

Stan: I know several Republican candidates, and they are not happy with this party situation, especially extending into their primaries. I guess the only Republican candidates that could be alright with any of this are the ones that are actually part of or affiliated with this corrupt political machine. I suppose this is what they want. For me that's a good reason not to vote for the candidates aligned with this corrupt monstrosity of a party.

It's time for all to be disclosed and dealt with. Let the chips fall where they may. Time for some resignations, because I believe there is plenty of guilt to go around.

That's absurd alright. The Forrest woman has said so many whacky things. I remember her writing something like, 'the old white-headed men that built the local Republican Party want to sexually assault Ms. Garris.' As I remember it the statement was either preceded or followed by a laundry list of hateful names that we usually get from only the nuttiest of the Democrats. She seems very angry at people that hardly even know who she is. The old girl is lost in space and has no credibility whatsoever.

There is so much here in the article. One thing that stands out to me is that Ms. Garris accuses Adam O'Neal of portraying himself as the Beaufort County Republican Party when he doesn't, and she claims to be the Beaufort County Party when she isn't. She seems to be both diabolical and delusional.

Another thing: I imagine Ms. Garris has erased most of the names of the executive committee members elected from the last county convention that she does not approve of. As we see she is still working that process. Other members that are never seen unless a vote or motion is needed (like Knox) are kept around for insurance. It has long been suspected that this category of member has a perpetual "excused absence" while others are being either illegally forced out or confused out by the ever-changing dates and locations of the meetings. It is getting to be a long time since there has been an actual meeting.

As anyone can see just from this article these are only a couple of the TONS of corruption going on within this party under the current leadership.
