Truth be Told: You are one of the RINO's who is violating all the rules of the party. The only requirement for participating in the Republican Party is to Register as a Republican.
You think the world revolves around you. sick sick sick.

T be T: Speaking of a hoot, "I know you do not ..., ..., ... ."

No, you do not know anything. You do what you always do - make up a false narrative.

Y'all are a hoot. Most of you are responding to yourselves. Many of you have never participated in the local Republican Party. Some of you on the local committee have only attended a few meetings. There is the problem...you are not builders, just destroyers. I know you do not volunteer, help raise money, attend events, or get Republicans elected. Let's face it, you did not support the most conservative candidate on the ballot. You call yourselves the conservative club or citizens for better government? I think not. Quit hating on the Republicans who put in the hours and do the work to get solid Republicans elected. They are not going to stop. Stop the hate and get to work.

One has to remember the origin of the term "Fifth Column". General Franco during the Spanish Civil War once told a reporter "I have four columns marching on the city and a Fifth Column ready to rise up within it" Since then, the term "Fifth Column" has been a term for the enemy within. Carolyn and Randy Walker are part of the Fifth Column within the county Republican Party. They have adopted a Republican facade for show but at their core the y are still liberal Democrats.

Didn't we just elect two of these teachers union people to our school board in Beaufort County? They appear to have infiltrated here.

Pirate fan, I do not relish the inter sanctum of politics. However, there are a lot of very improper practices that are keeping the voters of Beaufort County from getting a reduction in taxes. The Beaufort County Republican Party is at the center of a lot of corrupt practices that the public is not aware of. It is not honest to represent yourself as one thing while you are actually doing he opposite.

From what I hear the Walkers were sticking their noses in lots of races this time, including the commissioner races and the sheriff's race and perhaps others. I hear they were also campaigning hard against Sheriff Hammonds. Hammonds opponent, Kerry Cox was forced to resign after the last sheriff's race for endorsing the Democrat in the general election while holding a party office in the GOP. After this election, Cox has turned all of his campaign sign boards over to the Democrat. This year's Democrat nominee is not qualified, having bounced around all over the state with different law enforcement agencies, never able to make a go of it anywhere. It has been a while since he worked in any type of law enforcement. The sour grapes of Cox is unbecoming.

Both Walkers come up for election again in 2028 and all of their activities in the 2026 primary are likely to motivate a lot of folks to help take them both out of office then. there is a saying that elephants have long memories.

I think a lot of our primaries would have come out differently if only Republicans were voting. We need to close our primaries. I wonder how many local Democrats temporarily switched to Unaffiliated to invade our primary? Carolyn Walker's campaign was actively encouraging that online in the last election. She probably would not have barely squeaked through the priamry if she had not engaged in that hanky panly.

Thank-you Washingtonian, but Ray Leary was right there by my side in that endeavor, and also provided his truck and some fine conversation as well that day.

I will admit to this one trait of mine: I relish the opportunity to use all manner of inanimate tools in the advancement of all worthy enterprises. The additional hardening of calluses on my hands and fingers is always welcome.

We also need to worry about Big Ag sneaking in pro-amnesty big farmers into our legislative delegation. Exploiting illegal aliens for farm work is part of the business model of Big Ag.

Rest in Peace Michelyn, you were always a great friend and a wonderful person. You will be greatly missed.

Thanks John. I am meeting Monday with some of my campaign team.
