How embarrassing!  This won't do much to end the narrative that the GOP is at war with itself.

McCarthy is already the Whip.  Cantor is/was the Majority Leader.  Tongue

I guess I was premature in thinking the tea party was dead. Apparently this guy won with $40,000 compared to Cantor's $2 million.

Haha, I was about to go back and fix that.  But yeah, I assume McCarthy is the soon-to-be Leader now.

It ain't really a party till a goblet gets broken anyway.  Let's get this party started.

Let's be honest, how much did you really like Eric Cantor anyway?  Oh, I love his name.  Cantor.  That's about as beautiful as it gets.  But other than the sweet appelation, there wasn't much to love about the guy.  He was basically a Republican version of Al Gore.  I say Good Riddance.

Mother of God, the party needs to carpetbomb his challenger. Ruin his life, and not just politically. Make him end his days a homeless drunk lying in the sewer.

How are you this much of an ancap and supporting Romney/Ryan?



I'm really happy for this

On some of the issues, I agree with him, but when you control one house in Congress, you have to be willing to compromise, and Brat doesn't understand that.

Boehner has been talking about stepping down. If he goes through with that, who becomes Speaker?

They need to donate heavily to the Democrat. They need to tell this mother[inks]rr that he will be isolated, be given no seniority, no committee position, not even an office if possible. He will not be allowed to caucus with the party, he will be subjected to an IRS audit, anything and everything possible.

Fun fact:  Don't worry, I'm sure that the GOP will still be able to manage an unfair, treasury-draining foreign policy with respect to the Palestinian people even without him.

Really, his departure is not a bad thing.  Get over it.

God this is depressing.

Leave it to al to pull out the obscure references to primaries from 40 years ago.

Yes it is. It shows Republican voters are so opposed to immigration reform they're willing to dick over their own majority leader just for putting it on the agenda.

Friendly reminder that it's Obama's fault that immigration reform hasn't passed the House yet though. WHEN WILL HE LEAD???

I'm sure the Tea Party fellow is just awful, but I'm no fan of Eric Cantor, who strikes me as the same kind of guy as Paul Ryan.
