Probably won't happen, but I'd like to see Cantor put up his dukes and run as a write-in.

Who knew it would be tea party folks who would be advocating for having immigration policies more like Canada or Australia instead of the ridiculous mess we have now under Obama and the Dem senate?
Dollars didn't vote. Cantor outspent Brat 25:1

Cantor's next deal with Obama will be to give "amnesty and citizenship" to illegal immigrants, which Cantor confirmed in an interview with a local television station last Friday.

Cantor is a partisan hack. He won't be missed.

I just switched to Hannity on FoxNews. He is slamming Cantor and palling up to Dave Brat. FoxNews loved Cantor until 3 hours ago. This is the funkiest night of my life. Absolutely hilarious.
Yeah, Dem Congressional committee is sending out gleeful messages and even has a "goodbye card" you can e-sign to be sent to Cantor. I don't think there was much love for him among the Dems either. They apparently blame him for standing in the way of what little progress was possible over the past few years.

I am in a similar boat but for the other side. One of my favorite nights was watching Fox on election night 2012 watching Karl Rove squeal about Ohio.

Worse, these people find every which way to game the system and have sucked the social services systems of the border and other states dry.

Anchor baby is a dirty word? Not. It's the truth. My sister - RN in an emergency room catering to the indigent - here in WI - speaks Spanish because she had to in order to communicate with the daily Hispanic indigents - and rants about the anchor babies. The system has been gamed for forty years, it appears.

Bart ran on immigration - no amnesty - and won his battle. However, that particular WAR was lost long ago.
Absolutely awful what we are doing to the memory of the people who fought and died to make this country what it is. None of us is willing to get our hands dirty to stop this invasion, as long as we have smart phones and satellite TV. We are giving it all away. Large portions of this once beautiful country are going to be covered in shacks and shanties of these 3rd world squatters. Crime will rise along with poverty and illiteracy.

Default Eric Cantor Loses Primary

The current House Majority leader has lost his primary in Virginia. This may be unprecedented.

What does this loss mean for the future of the Establishment GOP?

Grown ups discuss and talk, only MSNBC squeals, gets tingles up their leg and wears tampons on their ears. Grow up!

So when a Tea Party backed candidate wins it means what??????

After being all but counted out, tea party activist David Brat pulled off a stunning victory against House Majority Leader Eric Cantor Tuesday in the Virginia GOP primary for the U.S. House of Representatives, the Associated Press reports.
