An open response to Larry Britt on Al Klemm's betrayal of conservative government in Beaufort CountyRather, we are reporting what we view to be a major story...that Al Klemm continues to betray the people in Beaufort County who believe in Republican principles.

It is only natural that political candidates like to characterize themselves as being something that appeals to the voters. Advertising companies make a lot of money defining products from tooth paste to politicians with a few innocent sounding, catchy words that stick in peoples minds.
