William Grant: Hood and I are hoping for Travis's success because we believe he will listen to us as the natural leaders of a Real Republican majority.

Hood and I both possess a incalculable catalogue of "Common Sense," and we have exhibited such for decades while in the minority, and there is a recorded history of such.

Travis, when elected, will desperately need us, and we will be there ready to help ... With our collective quantity of "Common Sense."

Stan,
Changing faces of the City Council will change NOTHING, as long as the cabal of old, is deeply rooted within the bureaucratic govt of Washington.

What is that quote of bureaucrats? "Elected people are only temporary, we bureaucrats are here for a lifetime." The cabal wont surrender
easily, as their power is addicting.
The public must always be alert, because a conman's M.O. is to be charming.

JV: Concerning the Executive Committee being in the dark, that IS very concerning. So far, this new Republican Executive Committee has been severely marginalized by the insiders. The insiders should be punished for their overreaching the bounds of legitimate duties and powers and infringing on the powers and duties of the Executive Committee. We can all see the things they have done in the name of the Party without Executive Committee approval. Executive Committee members should be interested in what they have done with Executive Committee money.

It is unfortunate that the manipulators have postponed any "showdown" on their indiscretions until the meat of election season. I have been told they have not met in months. Do they think they should not be accountable? I suppose so. Operating like that is not appropriate, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was entirely on purpose. That is real arrogance.

In recent years the state Republican party has been a poor example to follow. Lately the Beaufort County Republican Party is in the running for even exceeding them in depravity.

JV: Follow the money; it absolutely makes a difference when understanding the RINO.

Charles and Buzz: It was not that long ago; not for me even though I was not alive yet for another 13 years; however, it was as if it never happened for so many Americans, especially the Democratic Socialist Propagandistic Media, who almost never report on the patriotic spirit of those times in this land.

I am the spawn of a patriotic family, so we tend to know what is real.

In World War II German U-Boats sunk ships off our own North Carolina coast. My grandparents were living on the coast at that time and told me about it. It was a vivid second-hand memory for me, but the memory is dimming a lot these days. In the grand scheme of things, it was not so long ago.

The Sanctuary City of Seattle is vastly messed-up, and one should not be too expectant that a Low Intellect Marxist like this mayor will bring this once great city out of its Leftist death spiral.

CV: Thanks CV. I had heard that Candidate Davis was a current teacher. Since I am a reluctant authority on Conflict of Interest, if that had been case, it would have been an untenable position for Candidate Davis to possibly be elected without having the capability to vote on any issues.

Stan, she is a retired teacher, and from what I hear was recruited by Carolyn Walker, the head cheerleader for Superintendent Cheeseman on the school board. One particular reason that a retired school teacher would be a bad fit for a school board is that all of her career, she would have looked at the superintendent as the top of her food chain, and so would likely continue to do so as a board member. In fact as a board member, the superintendent would be her employee. That is far from the best situation if we want to have a school board that looks out primarily for the parents and taxpayers.

Conservative Voter: Is Monica Davis a school teacher in the Beaufort County School system?

I have worked with Travis for many decades and can honestly say that a vote for him would be a vote for integrity, honesty, and the betterment of Beaufort County.
