I recently had an eye-opening conversation with an activist who is arguably a mover-and-shaker / household name in Charlotte area Republican politics. This person has been following the drama in the state House District 6 runoff between Mattie Lawson and Arthur Williams.

I understand that Rep. Walter Jones has come out to support Arthur Williams in the run-off election for NC House for district 6. I'm sure there is a political reason.

I shouldn't care really. I have often worked harder for a cause than the cause actually deserved. It is my nature, I suppose, to toil in the vineyards diligently, and know strongly my purpose, which at one time was to do my best to actually help my Republican party to stand for something.

Williams voted FOR Pryor Gibson's bill to help raise gasoline prices by reducing competition. That no doubt pleased the Petroleum Marketers Association who pushed the bill, but it should offend everyone who buys gasoline, whether for business or personal use.

The national press is obsessed with gun deaths. These liberals never miss an opportunity to headline a gun death. The most recent usable sets of numbers on drug deaths, automobile deaths and gun deaths is 2009.

Arthur Williams is continuing to practice his brand of disingenuous politics, just so he can get himself elected to a seat that he is proving every day he is unqualified to hold - not as a Republican.

Arthur Williams is not known for ownership of his speeches, debates or even self-expression in his responses to media inquiries. In fact, he avoids participating in debates and public forums.

Could it be that Thom Tillis doesn't think he can depend on Mattie to tote his agenda; that Mattie will actually represent the voters in her district?

Hood Richardson, a long time county commissioner and an even loner proponent of making his comments known on the front window of his commercial building on North Market Street in Washington, NC, is being called to task for placing on his "store" window a political advertisement for Mattie Lawson.

What Led Self-professed Conservative Walter Jones to Endorse Self-professed Liberal Arthur Williams?This system worked quite well; they were a great team - Ed was unbeatable and Arthur was to be the ascending Democrat in one local seat or another, after Ed retired, and Ed did one day retire.
