This is just part of Thom Tillis' War on Conservatives.
Part of Tillis' War on Conservatives has been on legislation, watering down some things like the Voter ID bill, blocking others like the repeal of the renewable energy mandate, and promoting liberal ideas like gutting the state e-Verify laws on illegal aliens and trying to allow drivers licenses for illegal aliens. Tillis' prostituting himself to special interests that he hoped would contribute to his Senate campaign has been part of his legislative liberalism. Tillis is king of ''pay for play'' and if anyone in the general assembly should be opposed for ethics reasons, it should be Tillis. The other side of Tillis' War on Conservatives has been against conservative legislators. In 2012, he used control of the the House redistricting process to eviscerate the districts of conservative legislators Glen Bradley and Bill Cook. Even though, he is not even going to be in the legislature in 2015, Tillis is busy trying to primary conservatives. Angry with conservative Rep. Larry Pittman (R-Cabarrus), Tillis got the vice chairman of the Mecklenburg County GOP to resign and move to Cabarrus to primary Pittman. That carpetbagger move got so much negative play that it fell apart. Now, Tillis has found a flunky to run against conservative Rep. Robert Brawley. What type of legislator does Tillis like? We just have to remember our own House district in 2012, when Tillis backed recently re-registered former liberal Democrat legislator Arthur Williams for that seat. Tillis called Walter Jones to get an endorsement for him and also made fundraising calls for Williams. Tillis likes the ideas of electing liberals and he opposes conservatives. Tillis clearly would make a very crappy US Senator. We also need to remember where Tillis himself came from. Tillis was recruited by the corrupt power tandem of Jim Black (the real power) and Richard Morgan (lap puppy) to run against conservative Rep. John Rhodes. Morgan, the ''Republican'' member of that pair, was a self-professed moderate and wanted to eliminate Rhodes who was calling too much attention to the corrupt dealings of he and Black. Tillis was their flunky who agreed to primary Rhodes. He is now doing the same to conservatives he perceives as inconvenient to his own ambitions. Conservatives need to work hard to be sure that Tillis is NOT our Senate nominee in 2014. Tillis would be a huge disaster as a US Senator, probably more so than even Hagan has been. |

Tillis may be the perfect U.S. Senator, but I've found politicians who have dubious beginnings generally have a certain hubris that allows them a false sense of political security.
