The national GOP has its Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney. Here in Beaufort County GOP politics, we have the same breed of cat in Commissioner Frankie Waters and Commission candidate Dawn Slann. Both acknowleged at the Beaufort County Republican candidate forum that they intended to do a deal with Democrats to set up a ruling majority on the county commission.
Frankie Waters was very shrill in making vicious and false smears against all of the three conservative Republican county commissioners. He admitted that he had cut a deal with the two very left wing Democrats on the commission to seek personal power for himself as chairman, trading off the vice chairmanship to far left Jerry Langley for the Democrat votes. He refused to even talk to the three conservative Republican commissioners to seek their support for the chairmanship, only with Langley..
Dawn Slann followed by echoing Waters comments, although without the shrill personal attacks on opponents and not couching her position on personal power.
Commissioner Stan Deatherage and candidate Tandy Dunn both said categorically that they would vote for Republicans only for the leadership positions on the commission. Since both Democrats are far to the left, voting for a Democrat is doing a deal with the devil.
Waters was a Democrat until just a few months before he filed for commissioner, and even after filing, he and his wife contributed to Democrat candidates. Throughout his tenure on the commission, Waters has done backroom deals with the Democrats to thwart having a functional Republican majority on the commission. Frankie Waters is still functionally a Democrat and it looks like Slann is of the same ilk.

Cratch, Your "reality" is pure fantasy, and oddly happens to be the exact same fantasy as Buzzeo, Varco, and Waters have been spouting. Calling someone who is in the minority and consequently has no control "Emporer" is not anywhere close to reality. If Beaufort County has an Emporer, it is Frankie Waters, but the real power behind the throne belongs to Jerry Langley. It is a relationship sort of like Nicholas II and Rasputin. You really want Beaufort County to continue down that path?
I have mixed feelings in the sheriff's race, but that for county commission is very clear cut between the conservative / MAGA candidates on one side and the Democrat / leftie collaborators on the other. I have seen the term "Vichy Republican" used for the likes of Waters and Slann on some national conservative boards. Using another WWII analogy, they can also be called quislings. |

Concerned Taxpayer,
One final question before I go to work: Do you recognize President Trump as the current president? |
|
Steed,
No, Mrs. Slann is not my source of information. I have a brain (Quantum receptor) and discernment. I am capable of speaking for myself and coming to my conclusions.....unlike some that have to be "told" what to say. You are correct, I do support Mrs. Slann AND Sheriff Coleman. I think you simply just don't think you like my perception of reality. It doesn't feel good, does it? You've been listening to Zeppelin👌😎. Concerned Taxpayer, You, too, must have been listening to Zeppelin👌😎! For the record, I never said Hood's name when discussing "The Emperor", you did. Hello, Emperor Hood.....possibly! Thank you for playing. NCSWIC. |

Hmmm! It is pretty clear who Cratch's "Emporer" and Steed's "conservative elected official" is, none other than county commissioner Hood Richardson. I do wish that Cratch's allegation that he runs things on the county commission were true because my tax bill would be a lot lower if he did. Richardson is there constantly supporting efforts to cut taxes and spending, but he and like minded commissioners have been in the minority. Those is actual control have been hiking spending and raising taxes. I would call Richardson the "leader of the opposition" rather than the "Emporer".

OK, Mr. Cratch, I will take your word for it that you did not get this disinformation directly from Buzzeo, Varco, or Waters, so that leaves the question of where did you get the Buzzeo / Varco / Waters fairy tale of who runs the county? You have mentioned before that you supported Dawn Slann's view of how the county was run. Was she your source?
|
|
Steed,
No, I haven't. You know me and you know that isn't true....in the slightest. I despise Buzzeo with a passion as well as both Kidwell AND Varcoe...for reasons other than the fact that they're operated by "Bluecoat" Buzzeo.....possibly. It saddens me that you're twisting my words to play politics. I'm not playing politics, I'm calling it as it is. I'm not one to sugarcoat words. Never have, never will. As I've stated before and will continue to do, there is no such thing as a one sided coin. It takes two to tango. While the public wants to maintain lower taxes and keep as much money in their pockets as possible, their tolerance of bullshit as at an all-time low. There needs to be sense of awakening and enlightenment not only in the GOP but across the board. There are honestly people in the GOP who believe that President Trump has endorsed Dr. Greg " I conspire with Kidwell to eject Patriotos who ask questions that expose us as the shitbirds we truly are" Murphy because of his "conservative stance" within the MAGA movement! I believe that Uncle D didn't endorse Murphy because he is a patrioto. I believe he's read Sun Tzu👌. You've got Republicans running as Democrats, playing a stupid strategic game by "selling their souls" to the disaster that is now the Democrat party, and you've got Republicans who are in complete denial of reality and , like the betas who agree to sell their souls to the disaster that is now the GOP. President George Washington warned of the times we know live in. Would President Washington be a Buzzeo, Kidwell or Varcoe carpetbagger if HE we're to say what I'm saying? He did in 1796. I come in peace and you know that I wouldn't drive the hell out of these points of I didn't believe them to be TRUTH. |

Mr. Cratch, you are spouting the same line as Ron Buzzeo, Paul Varco, and Frankie Waters have been spouting - two carpetbaggers and a scalawag. They want to make a conservative elected official who has never had control of either the county commission or the county GOP as their boogeyman. I wonder who sold you that fairy tale, one of them or someone else?
The problem in county government is that far left Democrat kingmaker Jerry Langley has for years been spliting Republicans so he can control who has the title of chairman and who is then dependent on him for their majority. We have let the leftwing Democrat minority (2 out of 7) control our county commission by finding egotistical Republicans willing to be useful idiots for Langley in exchange for a title. Frankie Waters is the current useful idiot, as was Jerry Evans before him. This has been going on for years. It is very clear from Mrs. Slann's statements that she is open to also being a useful idiot for Langley. Most county policy is decided in the backroom between Langley, Waters, and the county manager. Waters' majority depends on Langley, so Langley has the whiphand. The only way to dethrone Puppetmaster Langley is to elect Deatherage and Dunn to the county commission this year. |

"Pops" always says that the Czar's only downfall was that he was too nice. Had the Czar acted on his engrained instinct, Rasputin would've been aced early on due to the fact that he couldn't be trusted. Machiavelli tells us what happens to "nice guys". Sadly, the Czar proved Machiavelli's point.
Taking Rasputin out would have made it that much harder for Rothschild to get to the Czar and stop the gold-backed ruble from killing the Rothschild fiat money flow.
The Czar should've listened to Sun Tzu. Uncle Genghis had red hair👌😎
Also; Buzzeo, Kidwell and Varcoe would be quick to label me as a "QAnon Led Zeppelin Conspiracy Theorist" because they have fear. I'm seeing a pattern here as well. Think "mirror".
