I'm sure you would participate more Mr. Richardson if you stayed awake during conventions.

Mr. Richardson, would love a return to issues but your focus of every article is to attack the Republican Party.

Fun fact ... there is no elected Executive Committee. Due to Mr. Richardson's amendment of the rules two conventions ago, anyone that simply wanted to sign up to be on the committee at the convention became a member. There was no election (actuallly a violation in and of itself of the State Plan of Organization which specifically calls for an dlection of committee members but I digress). The committee is now open to takeover by any fringe group or by leftist Democrats as all they would need to do is register as Republicans, show up at Convention and sign their names. The current Executive Committee members were elected by no one.

I see you woke up long enough from your slumber to call everyone else a liar again without taking any responsibility for your behavior. No one is surprised sir.

In a non-surprising turn of events, perennial victim and rabble-rouser Hood Richardson obtained the signatures of members of a group having no association whatsoever with the Republican Party in order to demand a new convwntion out of thin air. Reportedly, Mr. Richardson once again felt he was oppressed by every one else in the universe and in his desire to be relevant; he implored members of his group to sign a petition which will be roundly ignored since his club is not part of the Republican Party. As part of a string of publicity stunts to stroke his ego, Mr. Richardson will once again refuse to help conservatives win election because he wants personal power instead. Stay tuned for future temper tandrums in the form of telling people to shut up, calling everyone that disagrees with him a liberal or socialist and probably disrupting more meetings. Mr. Richardson could not be reached for comments since he was busy hanging up signs in his surveyong window that didn't spell the other County Commissioners names right.

The last excom meeting was the best in months. Mr Richardson behaved homself which was a welcomed surprise so we actually had a decent meeting. Buzz Cayton did a great job as the chairman of the precinct committee with excellent suggestions. When there isn't constant negativity from Mr Richardson its amazing how well we can come together as a party. Great speech by Marty Ruiz about the importance of these midterms and reaching youth. Volunteers for various upcoming events and get out the vote efforts. Two months sponsored of rent for the new HQ office space. If things continue as this last meeting went we will deliver Beaufort County for the GOP in record numbers with current trajectory. If Mr Richardson regresses to his normal self yhere will division and lower turnout because of his suppressive effect on the turnout in the public at large. But credit due to him for not acting the fool at this meeting. This is the detached observation of the meeting.

Van Zant: of course its a ridiculous comparison. No more than me of all people (the bane of the left in Washington) being labeled a liberal by Mr. Richardson.

So it is once again someone else's fault that you berated the dispatcher. Its the dispatcher's fault. Or it's the reporters' collective fault for reporting your bad behavior. Nerver, ever is it your fault. Everyone else is at fault ... but not you Mr. Richardson. Never ... such a victim.

Witnesses? Lol. How many more court cases must you get against yourself? And how many more people do you have to say are oppressing you before you finally take some responsibility. The story of the 300 lb black woman was all over the newspapers and tv.

You're basically the anti-Trump of Beaufort County. Whereas Trump has expanded the Republican base tremendously and is known for the art of the deal; you sir shrink the base of support in the county for conservative causes. And only know the art of the victim.

When I read Mr. Richardson's articles especially lately, I have to remind myself that he's been in office for over 30 years having never furthered conservatism. Why must I remind myself? Because he's acts as if he's totally clueless as to how committees or the party work, but it's actually just a game so that he can play the victim yet again. Mr. Richardson knows damn well that there are actually only two required meetings every year for an executive committee. He also knows that the committee dates and times are set.Solely by the chairman of the party, not for approval by the executive committee. But of course he would write like he does to make it appear as if a rule is being violated that does not exist. Because then mister richardson can play the woke little victim yet again. I haven't seen this much complaining about being a victim in a very long time.It's almost tedious at this point. Every single article is about how awful he feels treated. I think it's about time he grows up and actually addresses issues that are important to conservative voters like tax cuts, regulatory reform, high cost of living, bringing jobs to the county ... instead of this endless whining about how he's such a victim at the hand of everyone else. Notice in his articles how there's always someone that's oppressing him. Whether it's carolyn garris, before michelle nix or keith kidwell. He never, ever takes responsibility for his bad behavior and inability to act like a decent human being at meetings. Instead, he acts like a democrat.That is constantly complaining about being a victim. I don't know about everybody else, but i'm over it.

Keith Kidwell specifically stated they were not there, and it was also said that Greg Dority sometimes adviced. So it was disclosed at the last meeting.

If its not been given to ask your wife.

Commented: Friday, April 10th, 2026 @ 5:19 pm By: Rational Observer

Well now Mr Richardson, you are just flat out lying. I was in attendance when the victory committee members were announced. And so was your wife by the way. So unless she isn't telling you who they were, you're playing a game right now which doesn't surprise me.

Mr Richardson. Your response is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. I myself have some issues with the victory committee, but the fact that you label them as democratic Socialists is so insane that you lose all credibility and your natural allies ... proving how ineffective you are at furthering conservatism. You want someone like myself to believe that Steve Radar and Keith Kidwell (rated the MOST conservative Republican in the NC General Assembly) who are both on that Victory Committee are Democratic Socialists? You're stating things like that is what proves my point that you are simply in it for power and because you have a personality conflict with Keith Kidwell. You do your cause so much damage with your rhetoric and demeanor. I want conservative policies enacted. You are more concerned with feeling powerful and name calling.

The theme of most his articles are about how oppressed he is and such a victim. Give me a break. If he talked about issues and why the conservative side of it is better than the Democrat side I'd have some respect. But that's not what he does. He plays the leftist can book of being a victim constantly. In fact he's part of the problem.
