Over the years Robert A has not paid much attention to the CCGOP conventions or meetings. This was mostly because of some simple realities and keen observations. Back in the very early 80s and 90’s, it was the joke that you could hold CC Republican meetings in a telephone booth. The Republican so-called “leaders” all had Shelby Country Club addresses and all stuck together in their elitist mentality. Robert A always called them the Country Club Good Ole Boys and paid them no never-mind. As did most voters as in those days. Democrats, WHITE Democrats, ruled. There were NO Republicans in local elected offices back then. And only a very few anywhere else in NC.
But, as time went on, the elitists grew older and weaker and an elitist Republican and later two won elections in Cleveland County and things picked up for the CCGOP. The elitists, over all, still had influence, power and control and were determined to keep it. This they did by deciding to charge big money ($100) to be on the CCGOP Executive Committee, where things get decided to this day. Most of us country Republicans refused to pay $100 to be on a CCGOP Executive Committee that had no authority to do anything except recommend a replacement to fill a vacancy when some Republican passed away in office. There just wasn’t many Republicans in office until the early 21st Century. And those that did get elected mostly did it 100% on their own. Going straight to the voters at political forums and such.
Also, during this transition period, Robert A and other “outsiders” (close to 20 years ago) attended a CCGOP convention with the intention of throwing out the “Old Guard” Cleveland County Good Ole Boys, only to be thwarted by what appeared to be a classic case of voter fraud. But, after being PO’d for a bit, we decided, so-what?? These CC Good Ole Boys don’t elect anybody. We the People do! And that was good enough for a very long time because the big problems were the tax and spend Democrats.
Now, fast forward to the 2020 and 2022 Elections. Democrats were totally eliminated from all School Board and Commissioner local and state offices in Cleveland County But oh what a pack of tax and spend and lying and feuding Republicans we ended up with. The School Board Rogue Republicans were especially egregious. They even stooped to recommending Democrats to defeat Republicans Danny Blanton and Ronnie Grigg in the 2022 General Election. Bringing us to the sorry state we are in in this 2023 CCGOP Convention. Having to get rid of Rogue Republicans such as Dennis Bailey, Kevin Whisnant, David Allen, Robert Queen, Ron Humphries and others from CCGOP leadership positions this coming Saturday, March 4, 2023.
Sherry Yocum is the only advertised candidate for the CCGOP Chairmanship that Robert A is aware of. Sherry’s posted Qualifications are attached to this message. Sherry certainly seems to have most of the attributes and qualifications necessary to be a good chairman for the CCGOP. Which historically has been determined only by the person that was willing to take the job. At least Sherry is NOT Kevin Whisnant or Dennis Bailey and has not been directly associated with the Rogue Republicans. Robert A has some questions about her affiliations with the Guardian ad litem programs as most of them are liberals, big time. And her doing a big part of David Allen’s job in the 2022 Elections leaves me in doubt about just how much she might have helped David Allen with his Rogue Republican activities that have caused such a scandal. Could it be that the Rogues, knowing that they will be defeated, have put up Sherry Yocum as a front. That they will pull her strings from the shadows if she is elected. That would be their MO. But, at least Sherry Yocum seems to know how to do the day to day chores of the CCGOP Chairman and has the work ethic to do so. And the Rogues seem to all be lazy men that all they want to do is scheme and connive against somebody.
So. folks, check out Sherry Yocum’s qualifications and show up at the LeGrand Center, Saturday, March 4, 2023 between the hours of 9:30AM-10:30AM with $10 in your pocket. Mill around to catch up on all the gossip and politicking. Then get yourself where you need to be to vote on the CCGOP leadership offices. If you have a favorite, nominate them. Then watch closely those that are counting the votes. Do what YOU have to do to keep down any vote count shenanigans.
Then, remember this. In the 2024 Elections, the CCGOP does not decide who gets elected, it is WE THE PEOPLE who decide who gets elected, And the only thing the CCGOP gets to do is recommend candidates to fill any vacancies. Hope and Pray there will be no vacancies.
And, if Robert A runs for the Cleveland County Commissioner’s Office in 2024, vote for Robert A and two more good and like-minded conservative Republicans. And see the changes for the better that will be made.
