More a lemming who regurgitates talking points than a "leader", Bobbie.

You caught the Tater JS- I am in fact the supreme command er of the Democratic Party here to rule over all of you!
Good lord man - While on the left side of the political spectrum, I speak my own truth. And I'm willing to listen to your truth. We may not often agree, but it appears we share a love of country and the American experiment that is our government.

Most people in the world would not meet your definition of a Patriot. Thank goodness. Again, that's why the other 5 have a job

No Big Bob, this is what my constituents tell me.
In the real world, not everyone is a Non Patriot Leftist.

Big Bob: I have taken tens of thousands of votes over many decades vidicating my forward vision, which is comparatively pristine, right along with the forward vision wisdom of Commissioner Hood Richardson.
Just because I see far more clearly than people like yourself, do NOT ever believe that you have the correct wisdom to ever lecture me just because you are a Leftist, and one who constantly defends your purpose in why voting for STUPID people to represent YOU in this self-government is a good thing.

To Little Bobbie, "truth" means the leftwing narrative, and anything else is misinformation, disinformation, or malinformation. That last term is defined by the left as information that is factually correct just inconvenient to their narrative. Bobbie twists the "truth" as much as the "9/11 truthers". Bobbie is just another version of truther.

Stan, you still struggle with the difference between truth and opinion.

Actually Big Bob: The Beaufort County electorate is historically less informed on local issues than most other counties that are considered politically Conservative, so therefore, the voters here are not yet as conservative in their estimation of local issues, and they overall vote their knowledge level.
That will change as their taxes eventually start to rise due to continued bad policy by the Center-Left Coalition, endorsed by the Beaufort County GOP, and, consequently, worse budgeting of the people's money by these aforementioned bipartisan progressives, and for such a long time now.

Ty - people are indeed elected to do a job. including those that do not agree with you. Glad we can agree. One can always find common ground if one looks.

I should add, that Stan and HR do the work of their constituents. Not accusing either of being goldbrickers. However the majority voters in BC do not agree with their position on the issues. Sure some do, but not enough, yet, to win the majority. That's why the other 5 have a job.
Its important to understand it's not a conspiracy, it's just that although the BC population is indeed conservative, it's not bat-sh*t conservative.

Speaking of the Beaufort County Commission: Of the three "self-proclaimed bipartisan centrist" Republican commissioners, two were Democrats that changed party in order to get elected. One of those tried first as a Democrat and failed, the other changed shortly before running the first time. The third is a transplanted northern progressive Republican. I think all three are now on the county Repub exec. committee as at-large members. As county commissioners they are at least ex-officio members anyway.
Not so for the two conservative Republican commissioners. From what I hear it isn't likely the exec. committee leadership would allow them to be at-large members. They don't even recognize the ex-officio membership status of one of the conservative commissioners. The Beaufort County Executive Committee is clearly an anti-conservative pro-progressive organization that is many times out of step with the Republican Party platform and the Republican Party plan of organization. Considering any future sheriff race or any other local race, I wouldn't be surprised what this organization did.

When people plaintively beg the answer: What is wrong with the Beaufort County Board of County Commissioners? I most often just easily, honestly, thus simply answer - the Beaufort County GOP.
The Beaufort County GOP Executive Committee celebrates the machinations of this board of county commissioners' Center-Left Coalition, where a "paper majority" of 3 Republicans work in concert with just 2 Democratic Socialist Commissioners to create a working 5 to 2 majority of 3 RINO Republicans ("self-proclaimed bipartisan progressive centrists"), and 2 unabashed Leftists (Idiot Joe Biden sycophants), duly hold majority control of this board of county Commissioners ... The two remaining Conservative Republicans, with 51 years of Conservative governing experience between them, represent the minority position to hold the hardened line against fraud, the wasteful policy of the local burgeoning Bureaucratic Class, and the political tyranny of those, whose policies often are "Side'n' with Biden," rather than the political renaissance of Ronald Reagan, and now President Donald Trump. In this unholy alliance, one that is not only wasteful in purpose, but tumbling out of control toward the Left's maniacal advocacy for Big Government and its Two Tiered Weaponization for local elites, all is achieved with the stamp of approval by the local Beaufort County GOP.

That sheriff election happened in 2022 not 2020. From my understanding there were two sitting members of the county executive committee forced to resign due to their actively supporting the Democrat sheriff candidate while holding office on the GOP committee. They were Frankie Waters and Kerry Cox. I have not seen that contributor list, but any other current executive committee members who likewise contributed to the Democrat may not have been serving in party office at the time they made the contribution. WHile that might raise questions about why they were elected a year later, they would not seem to have the same level of conflict of interest if they were not committee members when they contributed.
As Americans, we have a right to support whoever we want to in an election, but if we hold office in one political party we have a moral duty to resign that office if we want to work for a candidate of the other party. An ethical person would resign from one before starting to work for the other. Personal integriry demands it. There is too much opportunity to sit in on a meeting where you hear confidential campaign information discussed that should not be passed to the other side.

This phony, dishonest condition of the organized GOP seems to be a state and nationwide problem, but I must say Beaufort County has an especially virulent, mean-spirited version of it. With this present cabal in charge, they have gone from being not that significant to being a group doing much more harm than good.

Why will nobody name the "Republican" commissioner who contributed to the Democrat sheriff nominee? His name is Frankie Waters, and yes, he is back on the county Republican executive committee. In fact, if you compare the contributor list for that Democrat sheriff candidate with the list of those elected to the current Beaufort County Republican executive committee, you will see more names on both of those lists than just Frankie Waters.
Somehow, all of those people were allowed to run for seats at the convention, but Tandy Dunn, whose exclusion was overturned by the state party, was not. When his precinct elected him precinct chairman, they were told they had to elect someone else or they would be considered an unorganized precinct. Why was he treated differently that those who wrote checks to that Democrat campaign? As the state party ruled, Tandy's exclusion was bogus and should never have happened in the first place, but he was the only one not allowed to run for office at last year's convention.

The thing I'm wondering about is if the commissioner in question that was asked to leave the exec. committee is now back on the Repub. exec. committee. I suppose he'll be running for office again as a Republican in two years.
What happened to Dunn really shows where this so called Repub committee is. They move against Dunn who did nothing wrong, while they reluctantly kindly ask a real traitor to leave for awhile, because his brazen treason act got attention. It's easy to see why a lot of credible people refuse to have anything to do with this Repub exec. committee.

The GOP county commissioner who wrote a campaign check to the Democrat nominee for sheriff in 2022 and resigned when he was asked to from the county GOP executive committee is not running in the 2024 election. His seat comes up again in 2026.
Van Zant may be confusing him with Tandy Dunn who is running this year for commissioner and never gave any campaign contributions to that Democrat sheriff candidate. Dunn was involuntarily removed from the executive committee after he picked up his wife, who is a close relative of that Democrat sheriff candidate from a fundraiser. Dunn argued that he was supporting the Republican sheriff candidates and had campaign signs up for Republican Scott Hammonds on his property, and only went inside the building where the fundraiser was held to find his wife to give her a ride home. Dunn appealed his removal to the NCGOP Aribration Committee, which held a hearing and unanimously ruled that Dunn should not have been removed. I think he is confusing two different county commission candidates. Supporting a Democrat is grounds for removal from Republican Party offices, but it was determined that Dunn going in that function toward its end to pick up his wife did not amount to supporting a Democrat. Writing a check to a Democrat, however, clearly does.

As I understand it, someone who was urged to resign from the exec. comm. for endorsing and writing a check to a Democrat sheriff candidate is now back on the exec. committee and is running for county commission again. Did I hear that right? If that is true, I guess anything is possible from these exec. comm. anti-conservative pro-Dem RINOs.

RUmor has it that someone who was forced to resign from the county GOP executive committee for openly campaigning for the Democrat nominee for sheriff in 2022 is contemplating a run for sheriff in 2026, probably as a Republican. Would he be a viable candidate with such a history of political opportunism?

What the little group of Coleman groupies don't get is that most Beaufort County voters think Sheriff Hammonds is a big improvement over their former boss(es) and don't want the Coleman / Jordan clique back.
