Eric Cantor Earns an Opponent - Dave Brat

Conservative HQ ^ | 2/10/14 | CHQ Staff

[xzins]

Eric Cantor long ago abandoned whatever principles he may have had when first elected and, we should emphasize, any pretense of serving in Congress to advance conservative governance. Eric Cantor is all about maintaining the power of the Republican establishment and that is indeed the opposite of what we are looking for in a conservative leader.

The Virginia Republican primary election is June 10, 2014. To learn more about Dave Brat or volunteer or contribute to his campaign go to www.davebratforcongress.com or contact:

Cantor primaried

McConnell primaried

Boehner primaried

Graham primaried

Is PAUL RYAN, backstabbing, anti-veteran pseudo-conservative being primaried?

[Howie66]

I wish Mr. Brat all the good wishes that I can!

[Paine in the Neck]

Support Dave Brat to oust Eric Cantor in VA-7

Also, press your Representative to NOT support Cantor for Speaker.

Is PAUL RYAN, backstabbing, anti-veteran pseudo-conservative being primaried?

Yes. By one of our own,

Support FReeper Eric Gurr to oust John Boehner in OH-8

Also, press your Representative to NOT support Boehner for Speaker - or Cantor, either!

[xzins]

Me, too. We need to remove all the cinos.

Some might say that rinos are the traitors and cowards, but a cino pretends to be in favor of preserving those things that have produced America’s greatness, they get involved with those doing this vital mission, and they stab them in the back.

I don’t care about the republican party.

But I care about preserving the greatness and exceptionalism of America.

If Eric Gurr is opposing John Boehner, who is opposing PAUL RYAN.

I can’t vote against Cantor but I can contribute to his opponent.

[Paine in the Neck]

I don't know yet - but there is a Facebook page dedicated to finding a candidate.

I tried to make a contribution but was unable to. There was no way to contribute by credit card......checks only....

That is EXACTLY what is wrong with the GOP Establishment and the RAT Party, in general. Everything that they care about is the advancement of The Party even if that means that the Constitution and the Country suffers.

I am NOT a “Party First” kind of guy. What matters to me is to return our government to what our Founding Fathers envisioned when they laid it all on the line. Anybody that can’t agree with this philosophy has no business at all in being in any Public Office in my humble opinion.

re: Paul Ryan. Even if he isn't primaried, I'd go one further. I'd want the dem to win if it's the only way to defeat him.

He betrayed conservatives totally.

I just tested it. CCs work fine. Click on the $15 button on the right - you can change the amount on the next screen.

Enter Dave Brat, chairman of the department of economics and business at Randolph-Macon College, whom Amanda Chase, Cantor’s former political director, told National Review Online “is probably the first time that Eric has had a credible opponent with a comparable education and background”.

***
That sentence is so poorly constructed that I had to read it more than once. Why is Cantor’s former political director making a favorable statement about this guy? Context would have been helpful.

On a positive note, this guy sounds like a godsend if all of this info about him is true. I would imagine he can take it in the political ring, too; with a name like Brat, he had to develop a thick skin growing up.

All sorts of great campaign slogans/signs could be played off the name Brat.

[Bigg Red]

Well said!

[xzins]

I wonder if the former campaign director has decided Eric is a phony and has left the reservation?

[LowTaxesEqualsProsperity]

Good! Take out the weasel.
