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!

Countrygirl1411: Bubba is right and you are right ... I will explain.

Bubba is right because our primary was greatly influenced by Democrats, who had switched to unaffiliated at some point in the past; the next step in intellectual fraud in this political paradigm, these Left leaning members of the electorate voted in the Republican primary did choose the most liberal Republican candidates on the ballot as their moderate champions. This sorry process has been, and is facilitated by a concerted effort by the RINO element here within the local GOP, and other extra non Conservative actors.

I knew there was a fix afoot by my observations of the mainstream weird at the polling places when I spoke with a small variety of the people I engaged in conversation, those people voting on the Republican ballot, thereby bringing forth a very unreal element to this decision making process of Republicans selecting their candidates. After the election, I studied the voting pattern of electing - who won and who lost - whereby there was an evident pattern that developed, and I am not the only person noticing its effect upon the selection process.

Countrygirl1411, you are right because the local Beaufort County GOP does messed up stuff like this to support their favored candidates. Since the local GOP is infested with RINOs and RINO Whisperers, they tend to support those Republicans that will 'work with Democratic Socialists to pass issues' important to their natures as the so-called Republicans they are destroying our local party.

Understanding this realty of this abhorrent process of recruiting fake Republicans, I see, first hand, its damage, and I am wise enough to understand the obvious; but, the conundrum remains: Why would one join the electorate as a registered Republican in Beaufort County? Has the local Beaufort County GOP given you, in particular, any reason to become such?

Countrygirl1411, unaffiliated voters like yourself must answer that question, and, I, for one, cannot make a salient, perfected argument for you to do so in favor of the local GOP, and become a Republican here in Beaufort County.

I became a Republican nearly 4 decades ago when that decision for me was much simpler. Being a Republican in the wake Ronald Reagan and Newt Gingrich made sense to me then. It makes great sense to me now becauses there are so many strong Republicans of honour and wisdom that transcends the common RINO and RINO Whisperer, where all of these great political figures have one strong trait in common - none of them are RINOs, nor do they tolerate such behavior as the political fraud that many of us know RINOism to be.

Does this all hinge on the fact that the dead shooter's writings has been opened, and now provides the people a purview into the mind of a deranged murderer that just happens to also be transgender?

Understanding that there is a political process of selecting those better qualified candidates by this one individual political coalition, I am satisfied to be recognized as fully qualified after all these decades of actually accruing a governing record of correct conservatism in the management of our People's business.

Therefore, it is a supreme honor to have been be given this opportunity to serve the good People of Beaufort County for so many decades, and I am hopeful that this recognition will help in my continuance in this endeavor of my public service.

Great re-cap of a commissioners' general meeting that was dominated by you and me, yet, we lost many good initiatives because "those who swap votes to share power here in Beaufort County" had their way once again to the detriment of hard working taxpayers and real Conservatives.

I also thought it unique, and irresponsible that the county manager, Bryan Alligood completely and fully broke the fourth wall, and made the monumental effort to cross the line from bureaucrat to unelected politician; thus making the sad attempt to bolster many poor arguments of the Center-Left /Left Coalition to do what Liberals often do, to get squarely on Leftist side of every issue.

I loved Second City TV as much or more than Saturday Night Live, and back then Saturday Night Live was at its best. Catherine O'Hara was a fixture on Second City, with her parts as one of the only two women - the other being Andrea Martin - hilariously scripted and structured for the finest of humor.

Thanks to all Conservatives who have kept me in office, even in these days when RINO candidates will profess to be a Conservative, but govern like a Democratic Socialist once they fool the public to get elected as the all too common Lying-"Conservative."

Self-Governed "public," it is up to YOU to KNOW who the RINOs are, and it is up to you to elect the right people to office, or the Waste, Fraud and Abuse will continue.

And just who are RINO's, the Lying-"Conservatives?"

That is all here in plain sight, for your perusal, on the current pages, and in the annals here on this long standing publication.

Thanks Van Zant: I don't do Social Media, and nobody is made smarter on Facebook, so I am not aware that these nefarious actions of the Beaufort County GOP.

I am aware that the Beaufort County GOP has, in the past, sponsored candidates that were far less conservative than those that were roundly considered Conservatives. Now, the Beaufort County GOP has elected not to meet to hold business meetings with the elected Executive Committee, and do business to promote all candidates running in the Republican Primary.

In fact, some one remarked that the Beaufort County GOP has not voted to do any business for nearly a year now, and I cannot find fault with that observation. That behavior is entirely frustrating for Real Republicans here in Beaufort County.

It does appear that Amy Klobuchar is leaving the Democratic Socialists' "Clown Car" within the US Senate to rejoin local politics in her home state of Minnesota as she attempts to become the executive of her big Blue State.

We, here at Eastern NC NOW, wish her well, and, moreover, we hope she does not overtly scare the little children as clowns so often do.

Carolyn Garris: So you can provide me access to the "email list." I need it; I have needed it.

Understandably No one, and no group, no government, and certainly no political group has acted, or will act as an intermediary between me and my constituents, so ... I politely, respectfully request the most current email list provided by the NC GOP.

Consider this my public request to campaign as I wish and need to do so, as this is, at its essential core ... My campaign!

This is how 'I run for office these many times,' ... on my own ... And with NO intermediaries.

Van Zant: So the Beaufort County GOP deleted me from their coverage.

I must have answered their two questions improperly; possibly offended their RINO /RINO Whisperer sensibilities. Regardless, it was good practice for me if nothing else.

I need the email list of county Republicans. This should have already been offered to all candidates in good standing.

Van Zant: I do wish you were wrong about the Beaufort County GOP, but, I am saddened that you are not.

They have created a homespun virus that offers sanctuary to politicians that do not know how to act as Real Republicans.

I love this kind of blowback due to the corrupt plans of corrupt people, who are far too large and corruptly in charge.

Democratic Socialists' politicians should always be requested to explain everything they do so the world can better understand their vapidity on all issues.

There was this one upside to these "mostly peaceful protests," with at least one, maybe two participants rising quickly to the top in the selection of this this year's Darwin Awards; those who knowingly or unknowingly, but graciously remove their genetic information from the collective gene pool - www.beaufortcountynow.com .

The mendacity of the Non Patriot Left must end. New York state, and, in particular, the 5 Burrows of New York City, save Staten Island, are intellectually corrupt, and do not represent the best of what is left of what is good within a functionable self-governed people.

Therefore, New York is finished as the center of anything worth adulating going forward, unless, and this is a monumental "unless," there is an abrupt overhaul of this sinful and most ignorant city, one that is completely bereft of any quality that once made New York a great city.

For now all good is gone, and for now it is finished.

Van Zant: Just heard today, in my continual travels: The Beaufort County GOP needs to quickly tighten up its ship, or it could be in danger of sinking, in other words and in reference to "Truth Be Told": "Those who live glass houses should NOT throw stones."
