Ooouuuch. My sides are still aching after last week's comical announcement by GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush that he had snagged the coveted endorsement of notorious electoral reject Eric Cantor, the former House majority leader kicked to the curb by disgusted voters in Virginia's 2014 primary election.
Newsflash to GOP elites: Getting Cantor's support is not like landing a prized marlin. It's like hooking one of those hideous bottom-feeding blobfish named the world's ugliest creature.
Inside the Beltway, The Washington Post reported, "Cantor remains well-liked and respected in the Virginia business community and among the Republican donor class in the commonwealth."
But outside the Beltway, the failed Republican revolutionary-turned-Wall Street influence-peddler is a snortle-inducing spectacle on both sides of the political aisle.
In Cantor's endorsement statement Thursday, he praised Bush as a "true conservative leader" who "can re-energize our nation and recapture our greatness." That's empty babble coming from the epitome of an out-of-touch, self-aggrandizing, revolving-door ruling class.
BushCantor share the same smug condescension toward Americans who believe in strict immigration enforcement and putting American workers first. Cantor fecklessly lied to voters during the campaign season about his position(s). He showered his district with anti-illegal immigration flyers that fraudulently portrayed him as standing up to President Obama on amnesty. But on Capitol Hill, he championed the DREAM Act for illegal alien students, huge H-1B visa increases to quench Big Tech's appetite for cheap foreign tech workers, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce/AFL-CIO's collaboration on massive immigration expansions.

This cantor thing is a reject. His “influence” mainly is to make others blanch at the mention of his name.
[In Cantor’s endorsement statement Thursday, he praised Bush as a “true conservative leader” who “can re-energize our nation and recapture our greatness.”]
Cantor found a new career doing stand-up!!
Or maybe he’s just GOPe selling the same old tired lies. Oops, there’s the truth.
Good one. LOL
Cantor symbolizes a political ethos so foul that is leading us strait to the horrors of a Social War. He is corrupt to the core.
Are you saying Eric Cantor was voted out by the people in his district based on anti-semitism and not because he showed himself to be a beltway crap-weasel?
She rarely says anything I would disagree with, there are a few topics
batterycommander needs to change his AAA-size brain for that comment. Way over the top.
"I wonder what finally decided Eric: Was it the 'free college for all' announcement by Jeb!, or did Eric watch The Wizard of Oz the night before and decided that it would be fun to have a Munchkin as First Lady?"
Eric Cantor,
The people of your district have said they want you to go away. You’re like herpes (so I hear) that won’t go away. Please go away.
In her day, Lynn Cheney was amazing. Our departed Barbara Olson was another jewel. Phyllis Schlafly and Michelle Malkin round out the group for me.
The real issue is why were so stupid as to announce it like it was something important. The voters are so much smarter than the GOPe. They give new meaning to the word ‘dolt.’
Very well said, friend. All are or were champions of conservatism, I so miss Barbara Olson.
I didn’t know he was Jewish until Brat kicked his ass. I posted a link to a really good non-whiny analysis of the campaign from ? politico, I should go find it.
There’s no mystery or shenanigans, David just used every one of Eric’s weaknesses against him, and Cantor couldn’t keep up after he spent millions giving Brat name rec he could never have afforded on his 200K campaign budget.
Thank you. I miss her too.
It gives me pleasure to watch Conservative women represent the cause with fervor and a quick mind.
