Republican schism in Arkansas as GOP grows gov by billions

[Cannikin]

Snip:
* REPUBLICAN SCHISM: Well. It is a given when you become the majority party, rifts will develop, even in a party as monochromatic and dogmatic as the Republican Party of Arkansas.

Republicans led the fight for adoption of Obamacare in Arkansas, albeit a version dressed-up to appear to be hewing to a conservative line while growing government by billions. The ruse didn't go unnoticed, either in the legislature — where a significant portion of the Republican delegation wouldn't go along — or among the party rank and file.

KFSM/KXNW reports here on a most unhappy letter to Republican lawmakers in the Benton County Republican newsletter. The author suggests a 2nd Amendment solution for lawmakers who backed the Medicaid deal.

1. I forgot what a good source the Arkansas Times was

Used to pick up the paper edition all the time on the way to visit our cousins in TN. But I haven't seen it for years.

Glad to see it's still around and doesn't look like they have missed a beat.

Thanks for posting the link.

2. Hope they'll be sure to let us know how those "2nd Amendment solutions" work out for 'em.....

we'll probably hear about 'em first, though.........
