No one should ever have a super majority. It always leads to tyranny. I don’t care WHO has it.
The article confuses Republicans with Conservatives.
Common mistake.
“The ultimate party litmus test: given a veto-proof legislature, will Republicans finally start to reduce the scope and size of government? It looks like the answer is no.”
Conservatives have several times labored and fought mightily to give the GOP ascendancy at state and federal levels. Never has it been time to enact a conservative agenda, or more modestly but still beneficially, simply cut back on the carnivorous jungle of oppressive laws and regulations.

Club for Growth Now Working With GOP Establishment
Wednesday, 26 Mar 2014
By Drew MacKenzie
The conservative group Club for Growth has changed gears and is supporting establishment GOP candidates in primaries.
Launched a decade before the tea party made life difficult for moderate Republicans, the club quickly rose to the political forefront while supporting challengers to incumbent Republicans who it felt were not conservative enough, according to the National Journal.
In 2012, the fiscally conservative organization backed tea party candidate Richard Mourdock’s challenge to Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar and vilified veteran Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch for his voting record. The group also targeted 10 moderate House Republicans.
But the political action committee has suddenly pulled back for the upcoming elections and has begun endorsing GOP candidates favored by party leaders while newer, ultra-conservative groups have gone on the attack against them.
Earlier this month, the club backed Alaska Senate candidate Dan Sullivan over Joe Miller, the man the group endorsed in 2010.
In another surprising move, it refused to support tea party candidate Matt Bevin in the Kentucky race against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell while also praising the vulnerable six-term incumbent for his record.
My bet is that there is still a RINO-Crat majority. This is what happened under Bush with the Republicans taking the blame for Slave Party policies.
Meet the new Boss................Same as the old Boss.....................
Absolute power corrupts weak spineless people, absolutely.
NC is a mixed bag politically, neither majority red nor blue, as the author implies and the two party illusion wants US to believe.
The demonrats and their lesser twin the GOPe have claimed it, just like they have raised their in your face and kinder, gentler marxist flags over most of the rest of the country.
None the less, NC has a decent chance to pull itself from the quicksand of that philosophical cesspool, but that hope and effort doesn't reside with the one world, big GuvCo GOPe.
NC guvna Pat McCrory never met a tax he didn’t want to spend.
Like I’ve said before, the repubs and Dems are two sides of the same coin. Don’t expect them to behave any differently because they never have and never will.
We have this in TX: the large Republican majorities in many cases cater to the relatively small number of popular Democrats in the chamber. Speaker Joe Straus’ base is the Democrat minority.
Power sharing part deux.
The public footprint also has a huge carbon footprint, larger than any other source, and also has the least to show for it. If leftists were honestly concerned about carbon emissions and energy waste, they'd fight to reduce the size of big bloated government. As a rule of thumb, services provided by the government cost 10 times more and have 10 times the pollution output than superior services provided by the free market.
Yep, it's "red" alright. Kay Hagan is "red" as well. If you're wondering why Republicans act like Democrats, look no further than the color scheme used in this article to describe the political parties.
