Man, the only issues that really matter to liberals are race, sex, and religious affiliation. They disgust me as a breed. Cantor lost primarily because of his immigration stance, but mostly because he had turned into a mushy wuss.
That is precisely what they are doing. I heard Wassertwat's statement and Chuck You Schumer's statement last night.
Loathsome.
The Gee Oh Pee had better find a succinct answer that nukes this every time. Else, this will really hurt, esp. among the low information crowd.
I didn’t even know he was Jewish. Big deal.
What mattered was his squishiness on immigration. That’s all.
Maybe, just maybe, the Jewish factions now wringing there hands over his defeat out there counted too much on having the awesome significance of a Jewish Speaker than they counted on having a free and sovereign America.
Seems to me, this country fell for the “awesome significance” of a first-anything, twice in fact. That didn’t work out so well, did it?
Frankly, never ONCE did I ponder the awesome significance of Cantor’s Jewish religion about anything. It simply did not matter to me. What only mattered was his unwavering commitment to whatever form of amnesty these people are calling it now days. And, this is the “awesome significance” of what brought his weasely little a$$ down.
Our COUNTRY - Sovereign. Not a dumping ground for third and fourth world crap hole illegal aliens regardless of their age.
Only a Democrat could write such drivel.
Too much schmuck. Not enough mensch.
The democrats are a sick bunch. Color, penis placement preference and anti-Christianity are all they have.
Too many Jews remind me of the ones who followed Moses out of Egypt, but found freedom scary and chose instead to worship a golden calf idol as soon as Moses left them alone while he went up to receive God’s law on Mt. Sinai.
I always think of that story as symbolic of what has happened to my beloved America — as a nation we have turned our backs on the gift of liberty that our founders and subsequent generations gave us.
Other than Tea Partiers, how many candidates for national or state office ever invoke the concept of liberty these days when running for election (let alone while governing once they win)?
I watch the Republicans and I wonder that, as America descends into the hell of totalitarian leftism, they cannot even sell the concept of freedom to Americans. It just never occurs to them.
It is unbelievable to me that Jews (and I was born Jewish) have so relatively recent gone through the horror of the concentration camps and ovens, and yet they still always seem to support the party that advocates a total concentration of unlimited government power.
If one is Jewish and a Conservative, this is not an issue about religion.
If one is Jewish and a Conservative, this is not an issue about religion.
Leave it to Politico to get to the real, insightful, heart of the matter -- Cantor was defeated because Republicans hate Jews.
The only reason we even knew his religion is because the liberal press told us. They obsess with a person’s race, religion and gender. We saw him as a republican. Funny that.
How insulting to Jewish voters to assert that they put their religious identity above their love of their country.
If open borders for a welfare state reflects Jewish values, I submit that there’s something wrong with Jewish values.
Jewish CONSERVATIVES on the other hand are ecstatic.
Count me as one.
Cantor wins 7 primaries and general elections - no trend can be established.
Cantor loses 1 primary - Republicans are anti-Semetic.
Most Jews were either ‘Red Diaper’ babies or wore ‘Democrap’ brand diapers - as the twig is bent, so grows the tree.
Good riddance of Cantor and his ‘legalize the criminal aliens’ sick shtick.
One can’t help wondering what the Almighty must think as Jews vote to reestablish the “House of Bondage” from whence they were once led.
This Jewish Republican is thrilled to see Eric Cantor gone.
Funny how it’s the liberals playing up the Jewish angle. Never about the content of someone’s character to them; only about ethnicity and/or religious profession.
