Come on, people! Rejoice! Little known Randolph Macon College Professor beats Eric Cantor in Va Primary!
::danceban::

Wow! A glimmer of hope.
-
Boom! Already there are predictions he's gonna pull a Murkowski.

By the way, wasn't it just a few weeks ago that the MSM and eGOP were all dancing on the Tea Party's grave?
-
Cantor has been a champion for amnesty. Unfettered by electoral consequences, he will be free to take point position in John Boehner's promise to push amnesty before November.
-
This is actually quite the coup for the Tea Party. Not just the defeat of an amnesty-lite proponent. Not just the defeat of a self proclaimed enemy of the Tea Party. According to what I heard this evening this is the very first time that a House majority leader has been defeated in a primary which makes this a "historic" event.
According to other things I have heard, the "conventional" DC wisdom is that this defeat is a major win for Democrats. Although the midterms are still scheduled to be huge for the Republicans because of [fill in the blank Democrat scandal de jour] they seem to believe that the now certain-to-be defeat of immigration reform will prevent a conservative victory in 2016. That seems to be a stretch to me given how much time there is between now and the next presidential election.

Both Dem's and Pubbie's are retarded...
First, the Dem's are already on record saying Cantor did not lose in the primary because of immigration reform, it was because he "lacked a position" on reform, unlike Lindsey Graham who they tout as a bold leader because he wrote a reform bill! (http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/380056/white-house-immigration-didnt-sink-cantor-joel-gehrke#!), so that right there tells you they know this is a blow to immigration reform chances...usually they cannot wait to attack the GOP for being leashed by whack job extremist Tea Party clowns, but it is obvious even to retards that they don't have to, the Pubbies will do that themselves, and it will be because of trumped up fears of "losing the majority" that will impel them to attack the Tea Party and run Cantor in the general as an independent. As for the Pubbie's good luck trying to brow-beat fearful members into siding with your Chamber of Congress written amnesty bill!
The summer circus has just begun!

Hilarious stuff, this!
Pelosi: I’ve Never Seen Cantor “Be An Advocate” For Amnesty…

You never read the ObamaCare bill either you twit, look how that worked out! What's that prove? One inescapable truth - you're a damned liar!!!
And...
Peter King goes full-retard -

He's quit as majority leader.

Peter King and et al are worried. It could happen to them.

The Tea Party is dead? ::mooning::
Maybe Tea Party voters are just more picky than pundits realized. Maybe they'll only vote for someone they care about.
Supposedly Cantor was up by 12%!
My mom likes Canter. Can't wait to hear what she thinks! lol
-
Cantor spent several million dollars to Brat's $120,000. LOL. And seriously, Peter King needs to go drown his sorrows in a tall glass of STFU. Even if you strongly dislike people in your party, why always make a media spectacle out of it? That goes doubly for you, Juan McCain. I mean, when do you ever hear about Democrats doing this in their own ranks?
I think the real difference is that the Democrats are united in service of a common agenda, whereas the GOP is just an incoherent miasma that has no real ideology. The Tea Party wing is trying to give it a real ideology for a change, and the party fossils don't like it.
I do kind of wonder about Cantor's decision to step down as majority leader already, though. They're cooking something up, they have to be. Is it so they can go ahead and get another RINO crony in there now, and let him solidify in the job before the November elections roll around? I guess they'll just move that other turd, the majority whip, into the slot.
-
How long before Cantor is a pundit for Fox News or president of some lobby group or on the board of some company?

Yeah, no kidding; that's just what Trent Lott and Haley Barbour are doing these days, while Dick Armey got himself tossed out of one of the current conservative groups (can't remember which) for attempting a hostile takeover. Because leopards never change their spots.

That's Kevin McCarthy, the third in the Triumvirate.

Ditto Pandora
Cantor did not lose because he was a Jew I would say almost 100% of Conservatives could care less of someone was Jewish or Ghoulish they care what someone stands for. IMHO Cantor did not stick up for conservative values pure and simple as his time as majority leader. Him and Boehner should have been out every-week if not everyday ripping this awful administration and offering alternatives. I have never in my life time have seen a more target rich environment to shoot at then obama and his minions instead I heard crickets mostly form this Republican house leadership. And their views on Immigration leave me dumb founded.
I pray for the best for Congressman Cantor and his Family and I hope God Richly Blesses Him but I hope he is lead to other work than returning to politics..........

Here we go; more tone crap:
http://www.redstate.com/2014/06/11/toxicity-immigration-rhetoric/ (http://www.redstate.com/2014/06/11/toxicity-immigration-rhetoric/)
Because we amnesty opponents must not call things what they are, in the case of this latest surge over the border defined as an invasion, and because "Mexican" gives the impression of racism. For what it's worth, not that Leon seems to get this, it's mostly Mexicans that have made the decision to enclave here and once a critical mass is obtained what one gets is marching in the streets with Mexican flags demanding "rights" and the US flag banned at schools on Cinco de Mayo. But don't specify Mexicans because racist.
Even "our" side ain't on our side.
Screwed, blued and tatooed, and its too bad RedState had to pick today to burst the small hope-bubble.

Cantor campaign spent more at ONE steakhouse then Brat spent on ENTIRE campaign!

from the article, begin quote
"According to Open Secrets, Cantor raised $5.4 million while Brat raised $206,663. While Cantor spent nearly all of his haul ($5.1 million), Brat spent $122,793 for his entire campaign, which was less than what Cantor’s campaign spent at Bobby Van’S alone ($124,177)."end quote
Sooooooooooooooooo, who do you think would be a better keeper of the public purse, hmmmmmmmm
To be honest, I didn't even know Cantor is Jewish..........so that charge falls flat for me anyway.

You know what's great about the $5 plus million.....it's gone and the RINOs will never get it back. Flushed.

Pictures are now coming in from the Seventh Congressional (http://i1362.photobucket.com/albums/r682/ChrstnHsbndFthr/bb1f028a-caeb-46e0-91d2-7379ffdfb0aa_zps1937a180.jpg)District of Virginia....sorry for the black and white, but you know how early pics are.

Heh! Nice, CHF.
::beertoast:: Here's to more happy hunting!
I think Glock is right...Cantor is stepping down now as Majority Leader is the last gift given to Boehner and the Ruling Class, they can select the clown they think can shove amnesty through, but they'll have to be in the safest district possible to fall on that grenade, but I have little doubt they'll find someone. I bet it might be Rodgers, Boehner will think she'll be beholden to him and that nobody in the causus or her district would dare come after a woman pushing amnesty...

Looks like McCarthy, now whip, will be the choice. Damn f**kers simply don't know when to quit. Hopefully those that got swept into office via 2010 elections will stand up to resist this coup de tat. ::laserkill::

I knew they'd pick McCarthy. They're so unimaginative, it's the same way Boehner got the Speakership. Everything they do is based on "it's his turn". In other words, everything they do is a reward for being there longest.
Bunch of losers. Born losers.
-
If the Cantor people thought it was in the bag from beginning to end why would they spend the whole 5 mil?I think they knew that they had a problem and didn't want to make it worse by saying so.
-
It's hard to give a damn what these clowns do...everything they do is just as bad if not worse than letting Dem's run the whole damned thing into the sh*tter!

I guess it's no worse than looking at the spending ratio to lose. Looks down right embarrassing. ::danceban::

McCarthy was ruthless. Even as early returns were coming in, before the race was officially called, he was on the phone lobbying to be the next majority leader. He had enough committed votes that no one else ever had a chance. I emailed my congresswoman, asking her to support Pete Sessions or ANYBODY but McCarthy, but it was already too late. Let us just hope he is this ruthless with Democrats......but I doubt it. Seeking power is one thing. Wielding it in defense of our freedoms is quite another.

Yes, doubt it. The fossils in the GOP establishment only get animated about doing battle with principled upstarts in their own party. When facing the actual enemy the only position they take is a fetal one.
