The "True Republican Party" (The Beaufort County GOP); their motto enforced: 'Real Conservatives need not apply.'

I wonder how many of those third place Iowa votes Haley got came from partisan Democrats trying to skew the GOP caucuses against Trump? Haley is a globalist RINO.

Not one of you could prove I'm wrong.

Some have many riches, yet are some of the poorest people I know.

Even with the Democrats open help, Haley only ran third, and Trump scored by far the biggest Iowa win of any GOP candidate ever. I agree with Senator Rand Paul - NEVER HALEY.

Will - Little Bobbie posts his ideological beliefs, NOT facts, and very often the facts do not match his ideological beliefs. There are numerous examples from his posts on these boards.

Hood, when you resigned from the BCGOP Executive Committee, according to Article 5.6.a, you forfeited all rights and privileges in any way connected with that position. I didn’t make the decision, the rules mandated it. Any elected official that will lie and mislead its citizens does not deserve a seat at the table. I know you don’t care how you hurt people, but they don’t deserve the harm and defamation you cause.

I'm a member of both parties if you would like to call it that although one is a PAC and one is the actual party. I ran as a very Conservative candidate for City Council in the last election in Washington and almost one a seat for the Republican Party.

In that time I realized a few things. There are very conservative members in both groups and very active citizens with good intentions, good values, and good people that want to reach communities that have not been reached by our party in quite some time. This is all been done with conservative values in mind of fiscal responsibility and compliance with the law. I have to take Umbridge with this entire article as it does not accurately portray those whom it attacks. My ideology is decidedly to the right possibly even of trump on many issues and yet this article seems to lump me into a RINO category simply because I participate in what is the official Republican party as well as the conservative PAC.

If Caroline Garris was so woke she would not have appointed me to become the volunteer coordinator for the Republican Party efforts in Beaufort County for 2024 before she had to step down as party chair. That simply would not happen if she was A RINO, which an official that was UNDER budget and returned 48,000 of appropriations of taxpayer funds cannot by definition be a RINO but rather a bona fide conservative. The attack on April Hollaway is frankly vulgar and an apology should be issued as it contains shabby viewed racial overtones and is false.

As someone that is strongly pro-life, opposed to all tax increases, believes in a Civic Society rather than a government run Society, in a Melting Pot instead of a multi-cultural society... I believe I belong established my conservative credentials.

Would I have observed for attending both groups is that there are certain members of each group that simply don't like each other. They tend to have the exact same views and issues but because of Personality clashes and egos we have division. I do not understand the continued attacks on Republicans. The Republican Party should be United in fighting the Democratic socialists and note I said the Democratic socialists not the conservative or moderate Democrats of which there is only a limited number left. Articles such as this do nothing to help us win in 2024. Just one man's opinion let the barrage of attacks begin.

As usual, you are a day late and a dollar short. You already know that I am not the Chair of the BCGOP. It was automatic resignation when a fellow Republican filed to run against me according to Article 6 Paragraph H in the BCGOP Plan of organization. You knew this since you used to be a member. Under Article 6.6, states, Any current or former officer or Member of a Precinct Committee or County Executive Committee who, for any reason, is removed or resigned from said position shall forfeit all rights and privileges in anyway connected with that position. When you attended a meeting you were given the floor to speak. Remember, you refused to let Representative Kidwell and myself to speak at your meeting. These are verifiable facts. You have reviewed the Plan of Organization for the past twenty some years. Please be truthful.
