ERIC CANTOR *LOSES* PRIMARY!!!

[Simfan34]

The party needs to start enforcing some hard discipline. We need a national party with the power of expulsion and a strong, centralised party leadership.

[Joe Biden is your president. Deal with it.]

hahahahaha bye bye Jerry Dandridge

[angus]

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

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.

You have been watching far too much MSNBC lately, Beet. 

What it shows is that congressional seats are not necessarily for sale to the highest bidder.

[H. Ross Peron]

What's the probability Brat does an Akin or a McDaniel?

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

You can't fault the Tea Party, they are more politically active than most citizens. All US voters should be like them, regardless of ideology. Congress is supposed to work for us, if they don't vote the way their constituents want them to, we should oust them.

yes.

These small brained hicks need to be destroyed, exterminated. And by that I mean the voters, not just the idiots running for office.

...Nazi Party?

[Beet]

Well, I guess everyone loves a good ol'e upset. One of them powerful House leaders getting their comeuppance. Even if the result in this case is much more gridlock in the legislative branch.

The "small brained hicks" are the only reason the Republican party wins elections.

[Indy Texas]

Perhaps we should look on the bright side and take away from all this the reassurance that spending millions of dollars more than your opponent is no guarantee that you'll get your way on election night.

This isn't a hick district.

[Blue3]

Brat's going on an anti-Semitic rant in his victory speech right now, quoting the Gospels and saying he is with God.

Well apparently there are enough to give us this result.

[Meursault]

The guy who beat him is already quoting the Bible in his speech. Hillarious.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

The celebratory circlejerk going on at RedState right now is excellent.

Gridlock is about the best thing there is.  If there's no legislation, then you aren't getting screwed.  At least that's my small-brained hick philosophy.  

We really don't need them to save us from ourselves.  I'd be happy if they met once a month or so and spent the day actually addressing the problems of the Republic.  As it is, we pay them for spending all year meeting with lobbyists, grandstanding, and posing for the cameras.  I don't pretend to have a problem with the "tea party" (I use quotes because I really don't think the "tea party" exists.)

If your idea of good governance is what Cantor stands for, then I guess we have to agree to disagree.

An anti-semite, wow. The fact this vermin scum piece of filth is still able to talk after what he's done tells me the GOP is going to be doomed for another decade at least until the party can obliterate people like this thing and the racist ignoramuses who support them.

[Meursault]

This guy is a full-bore Dominionist.

But that's okay so long as he's not part of the eeeevillll Establishment, right, angus?

Yeah, but Cantor voted almost exactly as they wanted him to, and was as effective as McConnell is standing up to the Obama agenda. This is pure nihilism.

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

Wow. Let 'er R.I.P. What an embarrassment.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

It says a lot that both my Teabagger grandma and my borderline socialist Uncle are celebrating, as am I. Cantor was a piece of work, and he got a nice ass whipping tonight.

This is good for everyone-the GOP's sane faction will now get to bump up Kevin McCarthy or Cathy McMorris Rogers and the Democrats in the House no longer have to deal with Cantor...and Boehnor must be feeling a little bit more secure right now as well.

How is that in anyway anti-semitic? I haven't heard the speech, but I don't see how you can jump to that conclusion judging by the information you are giving me.

[Suburbia]

Brat may be too controversial in the fall, but not like Akin/Murdock/Angle. With Cantor's loss, I don't see Boehner being Speaker in 2015. I see the Tea Party's favorite Gowdy, Blackburn (unless she runs for president), Lynn Jenkins or maybe Paul Ryan (unless Ryan runs for president) getting the nod .

[Simfan34]

These neo-confederate racist gun-whores need to be completely destroyed.

[Simfan34]

Apparently the vote was packed with strategic Democrat voters. Doesn't change the fact that the racists need to be hit with sticks.

angus never uses the word evil.  Well, maybe not never, but I'm not really Zorostrian by nature, as it happens. I'm guessing that if you search this forum for the phrase "evil establishment" by user angus your only success will find it in this post, and only in answer to your post in which you attempt to put words into my mouth.  I will thank you not to do that in the future.
