This sorry story is a bitter pill to swallow.

Big Bob: All smart people know that Non Patriot Leftists need public money to continue the corruption wheel rolling so that can keep their Democratic Socialist Party viable, so DO NOT believe that Right thinking people will every consider Leftists' comments regarding the national deficit, in a corrective sense, credible.

Big BOB: You were banned for slandering honorable people that I well know. If you refrain from that bad behavior, you and your ncredible TDS affliction can remain.

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.

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

"The Ends justify the means."

Washingtonian: That about sums up the Beaufort County GOP right now.

The Local Beaufort County GOP needs to collect what wits it collectively has among the controlling RINOs and RINO Whisperers, and learn what it means to be a successful political party to elect real Republicans.

The local GOP has absolutely "gone off the rails" having NO idea what their charge was in the recent primary election, which was to get the vote out in the March 3 primary; in which they made the corrupted decision to do NOTHING; having just poorly spent around 11 thousand unauthorized dollars in the non partisan City of Washington election.

Instead of recognizing what a local Republican party is supposed to do, three factions within the local GOP's core functionies emerged, all consisting of RINOs and RINO Whisperers, seeking to elect three disparate factions of candidates that were predominately not conservative in ideals, or in knowledge of governmental practice.

The great irony here exposed within the local GOP's effort of NOT getting out the vote for all candidates, as in their charge helping the conservatives as well, and which they disdain, they aided in defeating their one inner party core incumbent, who has voted as a Conservative in Raleigh - Keith Kidwell.

I sometimes wonder since I truly understand how all this works, how getting people elected works - am I in a bubble here in understanding what I consider the obvious?

Bubba: I agree, and with School Choice in NC we are moving in the right direction.

The Public Education Industry needs School Choice, or it will never improve. Two truisms abound: 1. Without competition these monopoly created schools will never improve; 2. Public Schools "made their beds made their beds and now they must lay in them." The Public Education Industry, with their Leftist core approach to human values and the dispensing of that information by instructive fiat has led them down the road to ruin.

Competition is the only impetus to push the Public Education Industry in all the proper directions.

The Left hates education, and the Left must be politically destroyed to save education and this Representative Republic.

Rino Hunter: The problem may be, at this critical juncture in the Republican Party, that too many reformed Democrats joined the Republican Party, but still don't quite know how to think or act like a Republican.

Indoctrination by DEI stupidity must end within the Education Industry.

Buzz: While you are right about that fine truism you perfectly laid upon us, it is imperative that we give the people more information /news that is real.

I need two more of me, and then I am certain I could hold up my end of the bargain.

Van Zant: Regarding the Local Beaufort County GOP, I have recognized everything that you have mentioned here some time earlier, and, as of late, the local party has done absolutely nothing to assuage my knowledge, or yours of their subterfuge.

I am prayerful that things will change, but I am also in NO way sanguine that a real Beaufort County GOP will emerge from these self imposed ashes that will be helpful to this proven Conservative in his Conservative quest to continue to serve the good People of Beaufort County.

CV: Agreed - Don Brown was the best choice to represent the Republican platform, the Conservative platform in the 2026 General Election for US Senate.

It is also agreed that those hoping for a conservative majority on the Beaufort County Commission should work to elect their candidate who they believe to best suited for their needs, and then let the chips fall where they may.

I will work with whatever Republicans that will caucus with myself and The Hood. Those that will not caucus with the two commissioners with the most experience and knowledge will be forced to form their own Center-Left/ Left Coalition with whatever Democratic Socialists are left on our board of commissioners, and that will seal their political fate just as they wished it to be.

That is simply the "Math of It."

One more thing: Those members of the local electorate that wish to be governed by a Conservative styled local government will be unhappy with whatever they get unless they gain the knowledge of what a Conservative styled local government is at its core, and how it must be politically constructed in this age where inexperienced politicians - like Frankie Waters and Randy Waters - always get rolled by the bureaucrats; not unlike children playing with boys far too big and far too strong, and in the context of politics ... Those far too wise for their simple cognitive abilities here in Beaufort County.

Conservative Voter: If I were the other two Republicans ahead of me, I would be worried about me in November. I will explain:

1. C. Travis Martin, the 4th place finisher got 0ver 1200 votes, with more than half of that vote, people who are my usual voters, thus splitting off my vote for Travis, who as a Conservative, would have been a big help to me in my governing within a Conservative majority - Beaufort County's first Conservative majority

2. Accordingly, C. Travis Martin was the first addition to my campaign team for the November General Election, which Travis enthusiastically accepted, as he and I have a common ambition to govern within a smaller, more efficient Beaufort County governing apparatus. If primary votes are important, I will be in a perfect position to get almost all of Travis's voters.

3. I was outspent by every opponent by a good bit. I may spend less again, but I know how to best stretch every campaign dollar better than anyone in these parts, plus I intend to raise plenty within my campaign war chest to do all I feel I need to do to accomplish my prime directive.

4. I am not intending to struggle to make that 3rd position in November, I intend to gain the first position; higher than the loan Democratic Socialist running in November.

5. How do I intend to accomplish this feat: Watch and learn!
