The drive-by media is desperately trying to prove that Eric Cantor lost in the primary because he's Jewish, never mind the fact that the same 7th district in Virginia had elected him repeatedly before, despite knowing that he was Jewish. The truth is a little different:
And no, the image doesn't mean Cantor lost because racist. It means that he lost because, despite calling himself a Republican and putting up a decent defense against Obama in 2009, Cantor's position on amnesty has become indistinguishable from Obama's. When that's combined with the images of Latin American young people, many of them ill, and many of them manifestly violent gang members, pouring over our southern borders, voters aren't going to like that.
And no, the immediately preceding statement doesn't mean Cantor lost because racist. It's not anti-Hispanic to be deeply troubled when your borders are overrun by lawbreakers carrying disease and crime. It's also not anti-Hispanic to find it upsetting that your president snubs his nose at the laws he swore to enforce and that your House Majority leader seems to think that's a fine idea.

As the media spreads more lies, the truth will come back to them in the end because they are each responsible for the untruths they print to the population. No one gets away with deliberate manipulations. With power, comes responsibility; from a much higher authority will judge them.
Cantor lost because he diverged so far from his party’s platform (and got so out of touch with his district) that a political unknown could beat him simply by running on the party platform.
Amnesty is probably the most significant, but I imagine spending/debt and failure to serious address Obamacare added up to.
Well, the other three won, through the primary stretch anyway, and the dumbass with the gum in his big mouth is the heir apparent to Cantor.
Boehner will lose as Speaker, if he has the nerve to run again. McConnell will lose in November to Grimes — with help from the Tea Party. McCarthy may very well lose to Labrador, leaving him out of the Leadership completely since he’s not in the race for Whip and Stutzman will likely take it.
The current GOP Leadership is on very shaky ground. Each one will lose their leadership position, but each will lose it in a different way.
Hard to tell, but they look like they’re smiling. At least someone’s happy.
So spunky & enlightening.
