...well that puts the nail in the coffin for any support from me. I was a Brannon supporter and was willing to vote for Thillis (lesser of two evils theroy) but not now. If that progressive pos runs for president then Thillis will be stumping for him. To hell with that...

If you don't vote, don't complain.
If you vote for a write in then you are almost as effective as a no vote. The ideal system doesn't exist so we end up with two possibilities. Make sure you at least vote for the "most correct" in your viewpoint. Change is a journey, not a switch to turn. |

Basically, I voted one issue and it just so happened that the Democrat was a bigger supporter of Gun Rights. |

I don't care much for Tillis either, but if Hagan is reelected along with enough of her Dem colleagues, that means Harry Reid will continue to set the Senate agenda.
The worst case for a Dem controlled Senate is the confirmation of a far left Supreme Court Justice or 2. I voted for Brannon in the primary, but will be voting for Tillis in November. Real Clear Politics polling average has Hagan winning by 3.7 points. That shocks me given the state of this country and her support of the administration. |

Ok I am a bit confused.
I get that tillis is far from as conservative as I would like. and I realize the stupid statement he made during the debate about guns was just well, stupid. but under his leadership in the NC house, has he not done some very positive things for our state? Don't get em wrong, that Christy is stumping for him I find deplorable, but people keep saying he has been bad for North Carolina, but I am having a hard time reconciling some of that from the direction a lot of things have gone in the last couple of years. maybe I am just looking at it wrong |

I did a search for Tom Tillis record on gun issues while in public service.
Below is a link that summarizes and provides links on said positions. I see nothing there that would make me risk having Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader for the next 6 years. http://votesmart.org/candidate/57717/thom-tillis?categoryId=37&type=V,S,R,E,F,P#.VBo9UhXD_IV Tillis was given a 100% rating by GRNC and the NRA in 2012. I will be voting for him. |

His official position on Obama's signature accomplishment, Obamacare, is to repeal it. That's a pretty good indicator of where he stands. |

It's not that they're imperfect, I can vote for imperfect. But I will draw the line at voting for clones of their Democrat counterparts. And yes, being morally superior is awesome. I'm sure Tillis will get in there and help repeal Obama Care and replace it with a shining jewel of an alternative set forth by the Republican establishment. The Republican plan will only cost 2.9 trillion instead of 3 trillion like the big spending Democrats wanted. Yay... |

Nothing personal here, but provide us with some specific facts as to how Tillis stood in the way of pro gun legislation. Include links to reputable sources. The fact that GRNC and the NRA endorsed Tillis in 2012 is good enough for me. It seems most of the negative things written about Tillis stem from bitterness over Brannon's loss. I too voted for Brannon, but recognize that without a Republican senate majority things could get very bad for gun owners. If that occurs, undoubtedly there will be at least 1 if not 2 or more Supreme Court justices nominated by Obama and confirmed by the Senate. |

Man really..... I mean come on. Thillis is making it really hard to support him.... wtf
|

Yeah, I hear you and that is a concern for me, but more if Jeb Bush were to be the 2016 Republican candidate. Just because he is campaigning for Tillis, doesn't mean Tillis agrees with him.
I mean even Gregg Brannon has endorsed Tillis and is supporting him. This is Tillis official position from his website. http://thomtillis.com/meet-thom/ "Our porous border threatens our national security and undermines our rule of law. Thom believes we must provide border patrol agents with the additional resources, personnel, and technology needed to effectually protect us and keep out those who want to do us harm, those who are transporting narcotics, and those who would break our laws. Thom opposes amnesty and he believes Congress should solve our border security crisis now - before it even debates any other changes to our immigration laws. " Regardless, I see a vote for Tillis as a vote against Harry Reid continuing as Senate Majority Leader. I have a prediction that Justice Stephen Breyer will be retiring from the SCOTUS in the near term. I hate to think that someone like Eric Holder could be nominated and confirmed if the Democrats continue to control the Senate. |

Birds of a feather..... Sorry man but first he hires Carl F'ing Rove to run his campaign..... Dude is a dooosh bag. He has run all over the country trashing Tea Party types as well as anyone that won't support his progressive candidates..... So then he brings in a string of Progressive RINOS into the state to stump for him.... IE Christi and Jeb Bush..... Birds of a feather..... I get it.. you think that I want Kay (do nothing) Hagan for another 6 years? HELL Fing NO!!!! but do I think that once Thom Thillis gets up to DC he won't just do what he is told and follow the RINO agenda (which isn't much difference than the Dem agenda) in lock step? Look I was ready to vote for this A-hole... I really was... but I just can't support him.....not now... Now where have you seen that Brannon has endorsed Thillis... not that really matters to me... but I can't find where he has.... in face I haven't heard much out of Brannon on a state wide scale... I know he is on the radio in Wilmington once a week... but other than that... I don't know... Here is something interisting i found at The Daily Hay Maker.... http://dailyhaymaker.com/?p=8831..... I am not trying to convince anyone to do anything I will vote my conscience.... you have to vote yours..... This is not an easy thing to do sometimes... My conscience will not allow me to support Hagan or Thillis.... As far as reading what Thillis stands for on HIS campaign web site tells me nothing.... BIRDS OF A FEATHER...... mark my words.... |
|
And for those that think that Thillis is so pro gun....... I would say he is lackluster at best.....
Not exactly a home run on Thillis's part. We have restaurant carry but it is not because Thillis supported it. He was instrumental in removing it from the original bill thus causing another bill to be passed to get us restaurant carry..

Rand Paul campaigning for Tom Tills in Raleigh. It appears Tillis has more broad based support from the GOP than some of the establishment. I recall that Rand was a big supporter of Brannon, but now recognizes the importance of getting rid of not only Hagan but also Harry Reid.
