I keep thinking of a thread the other night where Eureka pointed out it's the Democrats fault that Arkansas has been a Right To Work state since 1944. Then our Democratically control legislature doubled down on Right to Work in 1947 making sure it's always low low wages in the 48th in everything state.

This Spin & Marty looking Republican and his 51%ers will work to come up with even worse ideas than Right To Work as they bumble thru the next 2 years, holding allegiance to dead old Ronald Reagan, a man so great his own children wouldn't talk to him and Rove & Norquist who still want to whip some 1994 on us. We're in for a hard 10 years and the answer to the question: Is our Republicans learning? Is NOOOOOOOOO!

SPRINGDALE — Republican rank and file expressed strong dissatisfaction to state House speaker-elect Rep. Davy Carter, R-Cabot, at a meet and greet Thursday at Neal’s Cafe in Springdale.

“It’s the law of the land, it’s been through the Supreme Court, and Mitt Romney got beat,” Carter said when asked whether the Legislature was going to implement federal health care reform. Carter spoke for almost an hour with about 30 people, mostly Republicans, at the Springdale restaurant. He took questions in an open forum, then met with attendees one-on-one afterward.

Stopping the implementation of “Obamacare” is why Republicans have a 51-seat majority in the 100-member House, said Valerie Biendara of Fayetteville. There are parts of the law that the Legislature can stop, she said, such as expansion of Medicaid.

“The reason you have a majority is for you to reject it outright, and what I’m hearing is that you’re going to work with the Democrats and ‘We’ll see,’” Biendara said.

“If we say ‘No, no, no’ to everything,” Carter said, “the federal government will do it themselves and do it over us.”

Sharon Lloyd of Springdale, chairwoman of the Washington County Republican Women, challenged Carter’s decision to keep former Democratic lawmaker Bill Stovall on the legislative staff and to hire a former Democratic Party executive director, Gabe Holmstrom of Cabot, as his chief of staff.

“Do you think no Republican is smart enough to do that job?” Lloyd asked.

Rep. Charlie Collins, R-Fayetteville, told the group conservative issues would be fully addressed. He will introduce a bill to allow concealed carry permit holders to keep their guns on college campuses, he said. There will be a bill regarding “fetal pain” that will restrict abortions, he said. There will be legislation on school choice, he said. But these are fights for representatives and the House Majority Leader to carry forward, Collins said.
