AFP attempts bloodless coup in Onslow County

Why wait for the voters to decide, when you can vote them out with a piece of paper:
The Americans for Prosperity drafted a resolution calling for the resignation of all five Onslow County commissioners, who are Republican. The resolution claims commissioners have raised taxes, which is against the party platform, and attempted to suppress free speech about the issue at meetings.
AFP President Tye Rudy — who was nearly removed from the convention for being called out of order by Lamb — said he introduced the resolution to call for the commissioners’ resignations because “the officials are not living up to standards. And that upsets the electorate.”
Methinks taking away their right to choose their own government would upset the electorate quite a bit more...

Nothing makes a Republican office holder contradict themselves more that the reality of having to govern at the local level. When cutting taxes and reducing government comes down to overcrowded schools, deputies cars breaking down on the side of the road and swing sets at the park falling apart it gives one a whole new perspective. AFP just don't get it and their fellow conservatives just can't explain it to them.
I'm a moderate Democrat.
Typical GOP Circle Firing Squad?
Wait until the GOP commissners find out their firing squad is out of bullets

Coming from Joe is like a Nazi calling the Communists the real enemy of socialism
