Sorry that you are so misinformed Conservative Voter. Unfortunately, in Beaufort County, we have limited voting when it comes to the commissioner’s race. There were 3 Republicans and 1 Democrat running. This limits many things. The PAC decided to go after the Republican candidate and the Democrat didn’t have to spend a dime. I’m sure he appreciated the work of the PAC. Maybe the Beaufort County Republican Party needs to go through an endorsement process??? We saw the Beaufort County Republican Party out there every day working hard for Republicans. Yes, they helped all Republicans. I may just need to start attending the Republican Party meetings. I have been to two PAC meetings and it was disgraceful the way Hood talked to people and talked about people. It was an angry, bitter room.

Masks are and always have been useless. The most commonly used masks, the surgical masks, are designed against bacteria which have much larger particles and do not stop the aerosols that spread respiratory viruses. Early peer reviewed studies out of Denmark showed that but the medical establishment tried to keep them from being published. More recently, the Cochrane Institute, the gold standard of medical research published an analysis of 78 separate peer reviewed randomized studies that conclusively showed that masks, even the much better N95s are of no use against respiratory viruses like Covid and the flu. And you greatly exagerate about the health care system being overrun.

I heard lots of great radio ads from Keith Kidwell backing Scott Hammonds and received a great postcard from the NC Republican Party backing Scott, but never did see anything from the county GOP. Kidwell and the NCGOP played a big role in helping Scott get elected.

There may have been more than one tranche of money spent, and some of it may well have gone to useful purposes, but writing checks to statewide campaigns that are already flush with money and ignoring local political needs with that $14,000 is not smart politics or a wise use of local money. That is particularly true when a county party officer stands up and falsely claims those campaigns are "out of money" to try to justify it.

Hello Conservative Voter, thanks to the Beaufort County Republican Party, the citizens celebrated a successful election. Hood’s PAC used almost all the funds they raised to attack fellow Republicans and to reimburse himself for copies, etc. Didn’t work too well for them. The Republican Party donated money to the candidate for sheriff, Supreme Court candidates, school board candidates, and had boots on the ground from beginning to end. You know you are spreading misinformation and not the whole story. It’s unfortunate that Stan has tied himself so closely with Hood, but time will tell the impact on each one. I would suggest responses be screenshot. Wishing everyone a good day. God bless. Hood would not even pay $10 for a plate of bbq to support the Republican candidate for sheriff.

Democratic Socialists want open borders, especially on the Southern Border, in order to invite an "extreme disruption to the demographic stability" of these United States; the Democratic Socialists have described this disobedience to applicable law as "The Browning of America," which I have heard the leadership of the Democratic Socialists decry on multiple occasions.

If you have a problem with the Biden-Harris Administration's /Democratic Socialists' expressed political ideals of noncompliance with our United States immigration codes, please do NOT ever vote for these lying fools EVER again.

If you want to fix the problem, DO NOT be part of the problem by supporting these wanton non patriot political swamp creatures.

And while this goes without repeating, I will reiterate: It does NO good to support RINOs, especially here in Beaufort County, where they appear to be in abundance in political positions, and as self-considered as political players.

Covid is neither right or left. Its a virus. The information about it was, and is evolving. That's how it works. It isn't some nutty plot to take away your freedoms. We know a lot more about it now but that first year was scary. A lot of people died. Things are better now. We know more. There are treatments like paxlovid. Bottom line, the anti-vax hill is not the hill I want to die on. In fact, of all the hills to die on, it just might be the dumbest hill ever.

Sorry Mr Deathridge, nice communistic move like the left trying to dumb down truth. Fix the glitch with your program. I only posted 3 comments and each was different with the last saying that Mr Richardson is going to be prayed for everyday. Have an awesome day!

Mr Richardson, yes, your comment is scary, I agree. So do you mind telling us to whom you’re spiritually accountable?

Again, just following your far left narrative, Bobbie. We have seen your kneejerk positions here long enough. It has now come out that most of the "misinformation" on Covid was spread by the government. Even thinking leftists like the German Health Minister are wising up to the harms of mRNA Covid vaccines. Those who peddle the leftwing narrative over all else, just want to cover that up.

Speaking out against the "blame the Jews BS" is not a far left narrative. It just isn't.

Big Bob: I can't speak for "The Hood" (yes really), but I do not "suffer fools gladly;" not in this sorry political climate where fools abound.

If that equates to "sporting above average egos," you might better up your game.

Careful Donna, never argue with the smartest people in the room. "The Hood" (really?) & Death are sporting above average egos. That said, their fiscal responsibility is not so bad, however anytime the term " my real God" enters the discussion you know you're off the rails.
