I'm not seeing how the Democrat Senate survives the November midterms. The voting public doesn't trust Democrats on their most important issues. You can thank Obama and Harry Reid for that, Dems.
Last night, GOP House Majority Leader suffers an unprecedented primary defeat to a little known and lightly regarded tea partier. Synonymous with "religious right."
The TP is synonymous with the Constitution Party which happens to be bible based.
Though, Bratt who went to seminary school, so his religion isn't a surprise,
"lightly regarded" by the TP is an understatement. No major TP organization endorsed him:
"Despite running a decidedly anti-establishment campaign in which he criticized government bailouts and budget deals and frequently invoked God and the Constitution, Mr. Brat was unable to secure the endorsement of Tea Party groups with national networks, a sign of how under the radar his candidacy was. With FreedomWorks, Tea Party Express and Tea Party Patriots all staying out of the race, Mr. Brat raised just over $200,000."
- That the free enterprise system is the most productive supplier of human needs and economic justice,
- That all individuals are entitled to equal rights, justice, and opportunities and should assume their responsibilities as citizens in a free society,
- That fiscal responsibility and budgetary restraints must be exercised at all levels of government,
- That the Federal Government must preserve individual liberty by observing Constitutional limitations,
- That peace is best preserved through a strong national defense,
- That faith in God, as recognized by our Founding Fathers is essential to the moral fiber of the Nation.
Fine and dandy but where the specifics of *how* to perform these wonders?
Same place they always are with the GOP -- either in a blank document or some pie-in-the-sky 'budget' that doesn't even start to take effect til 2040.
Always the same story with them: guns + taxcuts = utopia
I listened to a report on NPR this morning in which it was said in exit polling yesterday 80% of respondents said they favor immigration reform.
Depends on what they mean by immigration reform. They could very possibly mean: deport illegal aliens, and make them go to the back of the legal immigration application line.
So... he's a Professor of Economics, yet he can't answer whether or not something as basic, well-known and widely-disccussedetting a minimum wage is good or not?
Well, Cantor has flatly stated that he won't run a write-in campaign, so in a district where Romney beat Obama 57%-42% in 2012, Brat should easily win no matter what combination of confused-cluelessness and Randian-reactionism he puts forth between now and November.

[...] I thought we were just going to chat today about the celebratory aspects." I guess the Heritage Foundation hadn't sent over his talking points yet.
He's a one issue candidate who seems to have not given a thought to anything other than his one issue. The loss of political powerhouse Cantor is not good news for the GOP in a state that has been trending blue.
I guess it's too late for Cantor to demand trial by combat, huh?
All you did was take the word of an article. You commented yet you didn't listen to the interview. The specific question starts at 2:25
All I know is that if you take the long run graph over 200 years of the wage rate it cannot differ from your nations productivity. You can't make up wage rates. You have to raise productivivity then the wage rate follows. You cannot artificially make up wage rates they have to relate to productivity.

Conservative leader Dave Brat is the strong voice we need to restore those values. Specifically, Dave believes the Declaration to be true. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights."
Dave has spent a life time learning and educating others about these fundamental rights and values. Dave respects and values every person he meets because he truly sees them as Children of God. Our Rights come from God and not from Government. Government is instituted to protect these rights.

Sounds exactly like the platform for the Constitution Party.
