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.
True Flaglady......if I would get 435 conservatives in Congress, not one of them needs to be a Catholic even though that is my religion. I want good conservatives not Catholic politicians....we have enough of those in reality...lol.
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.
“evil twists of fate” as a point of view is not religious. Keep in mind that being Jewish is a race issue and, seems to me, not a religious issue for these guys.
I caught that reference also.
Too much schmuck. Not enough mensch.
I’m sure a lot of people didn’t know he was Jewish. Pretty soon libs will be calling “racism!” on this ouster.
The democrats are a sick bunch. Color, penis placement preference and anti-Christianity are all they have.
Jewish Americans are rabidly ‘open borders’ immigration radicals, too stupid to look at how that policy would work in Israel.
It would do the same here, but they are too dumb to see it.
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.
“evil twists of fate”
Eric Cantor = evil twit of fate.
Fixed it.
I was completely unaware of long suffering Jewish GOP members.
I must be stupid.
He was a Democrat masquerading as a Republican, like most Republicans today
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.
