Often the best conservative candidate is also the strongest candidate.

Take the current governor's primary. Of course all three loudly proclaim themselves "conservative", but one, Bill Graham, has a liberal record on a number of issues and has been endorsed by liberal Senator Thom Tillis, and another, Mark Robinson is missing in action on virtually all issues, afraid of his own shadow when it comes to actually engaging on issues in spite of his forceful speeches. Robinson is all talk and no do.

Both of those candidates have flaws beyond their positions on issues. Robinson has a lot of personal baggage from his past which would be grist for the Democrats and their media allies' mill. Several of Graham's lawsuit have made farmers his mortal enemy, and if the farmer vote abandons a Republican, like they surely would Graham, he is unelectable.

Dale Folwell, the most effective and dependable conservative in the group is also the most electable. He has the ability to reach out into groups that usually vote Democrat. For example, his steady work as State Treasurer to defend our state pension fund and state health plan has earned Folwell the endorsement of the state employees association, a group that usually supports Democrats and which represents a substantial block of votes in November.

VOting for the best conservative in the governor's primary also means voting for the strongest candidate against Josh Stein.

Perry was recently named by a national pro-casino organization as its "policy maker of the year". Perry is a special interest whore in the legislature, bought and paid for on a variety of issues, but casinos is just his latest. He was one of the biggest recipients of casino money from out of state.

But for his liberalism, two other issues he fought hard for, and got well paid with special interest money for doing so, were the NC Green New Deal (HB951) and the Obamacare Medicaid expansion. Perry is hardly a paragon of freedom. He is a bought and paid for prostitute for the special interests. He ought to mount a red light above his legislative office door.

This school board is really in left field if they even have liberal Republican "Casino Jim" Perry against them. I hope parents sue them and get a court order that they follow state law.

The Tillis endorsed candidates and Berger endorsed candidates are RINOs of the worst order, or in some cases just useful idiots who will go along to get along.

You can add the Mark Robinson endorsed candidates. Not sure how Robinson picks them but it seems like voodoo or something. He generally picks the ones in Berger's pocket or the least conservative candidate in the race. I once thought Robinson had great potential, but the more I see of him, he is clueless in politics. He delivers a good speech that somebody else writes for him, but that is about it. And when he endorses somebody, it usually means the other candidate is the better bet. I was a big fan of Robinson when he ran for Lt. Governor, but the more I have seen of him in office, the less I like him. He is a big, fat phoney.

Truitt has been a big disappointment. Morrow sounds great, and hopefully will govern as she campaigns. The problem she is going to have is dealing with a state board of education stacked with far left appointees of Roy Cooper serving 8 year terms. Hopefully she will display the backbone Truitt has lacked in dealing with them.

Hey, NOT RAY LEARY, how do you contend that being led around by the nose by Cheeseman is "thinking on their own"??????? The Bridges math curriculum they passed is woke as well as being Common Core. It even calls for discussing "social justice" in math class!

Firebrand (Jodie) you have a bad case of Hood Derangement Syndrome, an affliction similar to Trump Derangement Syndrome. We need to look at issues in the school board race, but if we have to look at individuals, the one we need to look at is Cheeseman, who is a control freak, and controls the school board majority. You can watch him up there at the table signalling them what to do. Those six seem to think Cheeseman is their boss instead of their employee.

Let's connect some dots on these fake rape accusations of E. Jean Carroll. Her legal crusade against Trump has been financed by some major Democrat contributors. One of those major Democrat contributors connected to the Carroll ambush of Trump is none other than Democrat mega-donor Reid Hoffman, who curiously is also funding Nikki Haley. www.breitbart.com

The globalists are all meeting in Davos right now (and the prostitutes and drug dealers are getting rich from their business), so maybe the farmers ought to take their protests right to the source of the problem and shut down Davos. Give that totalitarian turd Klaus Schwab a heart attack.

That is simply crooked New York "justice", Bobbie.

Joe Biden has never been held to account for his digital (with his finger) rape of Tara Reade, who was his Senate employee. Bill Clinton and Al Gore have never been held to account for their multiple sexual assaults / Rapes. Yet Jean Carroll can extract money on a made up fantasy.

I wonder how many of those third place Iowa votes Haley got came from partisan Democrats trying to skew the GOP caucuses against Trump? Haley is a globalist RINO.

These January 6 Stalin Show Trials are just another example of the double standard in the increasingly corrupt American judicial system, not only in comparing the kid gloves treatment of major instigator Epps, who was given a slap on the wrist, compared with people who did little more than walk around, who are having the book thrown at them, but also in comparison to the ANTIFA / BLM insurrection of the previous summer, which had much much much more deaths, injuries, and damage.

A two tier, politically determined justice system, which we have now, is not democracy nor the rule of law.

Rand Paul is a great senator. Nikki Haley was an awful governor.

Fani Willis is a political hack abusing her office to engage in election interference. She and her boyfriend should both be indicted for that in federal court. It is great to see them both exposed for these shananigans.

Good for New Hampshire, and it is good to see at least some common sense Democrats standing up against child mutilation.

For the far left like you, LIttle Bobbie, I am sure they are happy with the school board majority. Six seat warmers dance on the puppet strings of a superintendant who showed his alliance to the far left concepts of "equity" and "inclusion" in his very recent PhD paper, wrtitten while he worked for this school board. It appears that all six think of Cheeseberger as their boss instead of the employee he really is.

For the rest of us? Not so much.

If the Washington's city manager is pulling the strings, they keep it better hidden than the school board. Washington keeps its city manager down where he belongs with the staff during city council meetings. The school board seats their puppet master, Cheeseberger, err Cheesemold, err Cheeseman with the elected officials right beside the board chairman. Indeed, at meetings, one often sees Cheeseman whispering in chairman T.W. Allen's ear, telling him what to do.

Allen is a pathetically weak and ineffective chairman who is nothing but a rubber stamp for Cheeseman, but that is true of all five of the school board members up for election this year. Only Carolyn Walker puts on a show of having a mind of her own, but even that is only a show because she always toes the Cheeseman party line in the end. We need more school board members like the three new ones we elected last election.

This is a smokescreen by RINO Tillis, who is still the same liberal he has always been. Indeed, right now, he is involved in a Senate "gang" working with Democrats to try to sell us out on illegal immigration.

There needs to be a special prosecutor appointed to investigate and prosecute election interference.
