Is the Upcoming Republican Runoff Election Really Important | Eastern NC Now

There are eight candidates running for the four positions in state offices (on the ballot in Carteret County). The Crystal Coast Tea Party Patriots invited seven of these candidates to speak at one of our meetings. We wanted to get to know them better and to ask questions about where each stands.

Raphael,

Your comment has all makings of what I have heard from reliable Republicans on how this all went down about a decade ago.

Now, years later, Jim Black is sent to Federal prison, and Richard Morgan is a popular Republican in some sectors, and all the while, I have never met a real Republican that has a kind word for Harold Brubaker's right-hand man.

Mike Causey is a regular guy, a true Republican soldier, and deserves the nomination.

What manner of idiot would knowingly vote for Richard Morgan for the nomination.

Wake up people! Vote only for true men and women of honor, of integrity in this Republican primary runoff.

Richard Morgan's support for raising the insurance rates in eastern North Carolina is reason enough to vote against him in the Republican primary, but his treachery in public office adds another angle to what is wrong with Morgan. You have hit the nail on the head as to his anti-coast positions on insurance.

You got Morgan's history there quite wrong and it is a lot more sinister than you set out. Republicans did not get an even split with Democrats on election day. They got a majority. That majority became an even split when corrupt Jim Black (since convicted in federal court and sent to prison for his misdeeds) bought off Mike Decker to switch parties, creating the even split. Richard Morgan had NOT been minority leader. Leo Daughtry of Johnston County held that position. The House Republican Caucus voted overwhelmingly to select Daughtry to be co-Speaker in an equal power sharing arrangement with the Democrats. That was derailed when Richard Morgan, Harold Brubaker,and three other turncoat Republicans made a seperate deal with Black for an uneven split of power, where Black got most of the power with a few titles and a little dab of power for the five turncoats. Morgan got the largely paper title of ''co-Speaker'' in that deal. Redistricting was done during that session, and Black concentrated on drawing districts to elect more Democrats while Morgan concentrated on drawing districts to eliminate conservatives in Republican primaries. As a result, the next election brought a Democrat majority to the House and the elimination of a number of conservatives on the GOP side. One of those conservatives eliminated was Representative John Rhodes (R-Mecklenburg) who was defeated in his primary by a candidate recruited by Morgan by the name of Thom Tillis.

It was as a result of these shananigans that Morgan was overwhelmingly kicked out of the party and barred from holding any party office by the State Republican Executive Committee. Morgan was also defeated for renomination in the GOP primary in his own district.

Incidentally, the brains behind Morgan's corrupt bargain with Jim Black was none other than Harold Brubaker, who curiously attended an Arthur Williams fundraiser this year. As they say, birds of a feather . . .
