He is crazy as a loon.

That's the biggest bunch of b******* that he has ever brought out to the American public. I would not believe anything that that man has to say about his past he embellishes so much.

These statements are a Joe Biden possibility. I like the one where he had lunch on the moon with Neil Armstrong.

So the big spender anti-taxpayer coalition rides again. Disgusting. Frankie Waters is a puppet on a string to Jerry Langley and our liberal big-spending county manager. One could say they are spending like drunken sailors, but at least drunken sailors are spending their own money, not that of the taxpayers. Watch them try to mortgage our county to the hilt for their unneeded big new jail.

Yes he did.

The caucusing with Democratic Socialist commissioners, when there is a 5 to 2 Republican majority, to achieve his chairmanship (which he has done now for about 5 times without admonishment from the local nominal "Republican" friendly GOP) should be yet another facet of party disloyalty.

I, like Hood Richardson, was once a Democrat.

We were never "life-long Republicans," if fact I was once a Liberal; so: How is it that Hood Richardson and Stan Deatherage know how to fully function as Conservative Republicans, governing as much as is possible by real and intractable Conservative ideals?

Besides our abject seriousness and dedication to these simple, yet perfect ideals: Why is it that we WILL NOT tolerate the fakes posing as obstacles to our firm objective to govern by an honest understanding of what is the best path forward for our constituents, and Beaufort County?

Concurrently, why would a self-professed "life-long Republican" so willingly tolerate the destruction of the Republican brand, a brand that once meant far more than it does now? Why is it that the local GOP must depend on the likes of Richardson and Deatherage, a former Liberal though thoughtful as such, to save it from itself from becoming a haven for secret-sleepers and Republicans-in-name-only?

I reckon the claim of "life-long Republican" does not mean what it use to ... or maybe it never did.

Frankie Waters saying he is a Republican is like some of these "transgender" boys saying they are girls. The facts do not bear out their claims. I guess we could call Waters a "transpartisan", just another type of tranny.

The only "Republican" that PAC opposed was RINO Frankie Waters, who is nothing but a Democrat enabler. Waters was a lifelong Democrat before he became one of the Democrats' "secret sleepers" (yes that is an actual term Democrats use for their plants into the GOP) by changing his registration on paper just before fling for commissioner. In his first run for commissioner, Waters contributed to a Democrat for NC House and in the middle of his last campaign, he contributed to the Democrat sheriff candidate. His treachery last night in voting for left wing Democrat Jerry Langley for county commission vice chairman shows that Waters is a traitor to the GOP just like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. That PAC was absolutely right in pushing the two genuine Republicans over phoney baloney fake "Republican" Frankie Waters. Frankie Waters was no more than Ed Booth in whiteface and a phoney R by his name.

Tillis is telling the Republican base that he does not represent us. It is time for the Republican base to give him the heave ho. Tillis is in bed with the Democrats and the swamp. Real Republicans want to stop illegal immigration, but not Tillis. Tillis is a yes man for the special interests. NEVER TILLIS.

The interesting part here is that it was seriously floated that Frankie would not stand for chairman.

The longstanding plan amongst myself and The Hood is that either he or I would stand for chairman, thereby representing the core of Beaufort County's strongest Republicans, but Randy Walker thought he had a shot of picking off enough votes, so we pulled behind Randy instead thinking that we might break the Center-left Coalition, and its longstanding Leftist damage to Beaufort County's taxpayers.

It was worth a try ... once.

No one should ever be rewarded for breaking the law to come to this country. Come here legally or not at all.

So-called "Community Advocate": As a recent Conservative candidate, your perspective is not one of a real World purpose. No real Republican was attacked in the last campaign by Hood Richardson and his PAC, and that is quantifiable.

Party Disloyalty is a charge that offers many facets, and when the local GOP will NOT vet its candidates, and will disgracefully, at the party headquarters, besmirch the reputations of real Republicans running for office, and then act in such a frivolous manner as to what being a REAL Republican demands, an inventory of such bad behavior is taken ... and Rightly so.

In closing, just two observations on your ludicrous comments "Community Advocate": 1) How does a 'Beaufort County Republican Party support all Republican candidates by advocating for ALL Republicans at the Board of Elections'? The campaigns are over at that "yeah team" point. 2) The "Democrat candidate running for County Commissioner had the easiest campaign."

This local GOP provides a process of convenience for Democrats, who have admitted to me that their current plan for not running a full slate of Democrat candidates is: "to switch to the Republican party; run as Republicans, and then win as Republicans by using the Republican brand; then, once elected, govern as Democrats. It is working isn't it Stan?" To which I did reply: "Yes it is Ma'am."

Republicans, far better than you "Community Advocate", such as Hood Richardson, built that Republican brand in Beaufort County, and for the local GOP to "advocate" for "all" Republicans by breathing political life into these Democrat "secret sleepers" is either a non Republican measure of insipid disloyalty, or just plain STUPID.

Which is it for you So-called "Community Advocate" ... "if that is your real name?"
