Tea Party
 
Eric Cantor lost his butt..the Tea Party is TOTALLY re-energized. I'm diggin' it.

Me too!

Appears Immigration "Reform" was the main issue. Cantor was a supporter and his defeat signals defeat for any "Dream Act" since RINOs will fear the repercussions of supporting it.

I Dream of immigration enforcement :D

Get ready for O to make his big heavy handed push now that his "ally" is gone. Without his whipped Congress to do his bidding he's going to do it on his own.

The political shot across the bow to the RINOS from the TEA Party.

There may actually be a light at the end of the tunnel .... :D

Watching FOX it does look like O is going to have to whip out his pen quickly now that Cantor is gone. Whispers are saying Alabama is about to have a strong Tea Party showing. This is very interesting.

Political Earthquake Shocks Washington Establishment

Wednesday, 11 June 2014 01:12

Written by Gun Owners of America

Eric Cantor, the Majority Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives, went down in a stunning defeat to GOA-supported David Brat.

Cantor, who represents Virginia's 7th District, vastly outspent Brat, an economics professor at Virginia's Randolph-Macon College.

On Monday evening, Gun Owners of America blanketed the district with phone calls to registered voters, hitting Cantor for his recent vote to expand gun control and noting that Brat stands 100% for the right to keep and bear arms.

On Tuesday morning, political commentators predicted a landslide win for Cantor, but voters rejected his support for bigger government and, in particular, his support of amnesty for illegal aliens.

Since the district is considered safe Republican, Brat is heavily favored to win the general election in November.

Congratulations to David Brat, and we're thankful to the many GOA supporters who made this victory possible.

Sincerely,

Tim Macy
Vice Chairman

Just curious but how will all of you feel if a Dem wins the election. Remember this was a primary. Virgina just elected a Dem anti-gun governer who couldn't wait to pay back the Bloomberg money that was spent on his campaign. So will you all be just as happy as you are above if an anti democrat takes over Cantor office?

Cantor's district is overwhelmingly Republican. And yes, it would still be worth it

See above letter from Gun Owners of America ....

plus 100, Sir.

MPDC 06-11-2014 12:23 PM

:toast::party:Spent many years in N. Va and saw it become less and less traditional (Conservative).

The rest of Va., including this district, should be pretty safe for this candidate.

So it is safe, just like they predicted that Cantor would would be safe as well. Good to know.

What did the O'Bum do yesterday: said he wants to take guns away from..........those who can do some real damage with them. I felt sick. Probably 'cause I had to look at the lying Bum for long enough to hear him say it.

It could be the message.

Dems are disavowing the Bum pretty regularly and he says THAT!

The thing about O yesterday is he knows his power is downgraded every morning he wakes up. Democrats are jumping ship, they want to hold their jobs. Obama is about at the point where his pen is him only friend, and he best be careful with that or hurt his own party.

There are no absolutes.....Hillary was queen till O stepped on her.

But look at it this way. It's not like there were polls taken, Cantor was considered a shoe-in cause of who he was. Everybody looked the other way, there was NO Way he could lose......like Hillary in 2007.

Keep an eye on the runoff election in Mississippi. Chris McDaniel had a narrow plurality over Thad Cochran in the primary. I know Thad, he lived down the street when he was elected to the House. I even babysat his kids on occasion. He kept in touch with the people while in the House, but as soon as he was elected to the Senate, for all intents and purposes he was no longer a Mississippian, but a D.C.ite.

The thinking is that all the votes against Cochran in the primary will still be against him in the runoff.

milkmanjoe 06-11-2014 05:43 PM

I'm seeing that Al Brat, who beat Cantor, will be running un-opposed. Hmmmm.
