The Cantor/Bush alignment last week is proof positive that the Republican Mafia has abandoned the Conservative base while continuing to believe they do not need their base to win. As was stated by the Party a while back they are going to prove to everyone once and for all that the Conservative base has become irrelevant. Take note Silent Majority, our real enemy is inside the perimeter. My guess is their plan is to infiltrate, disrupt, and try to destroy by claiming to be our friends.

The very reason I toss all mail from the RNC or any other party affiliated PAC directly into the trash bin.

Whenever they call I tell them I am no longer a Republican, but have changed my affiliation to Monarchist.

The Cantor/Bush alignment..... while inherently stupid...is more proof that the GOPe Mafia has abandoned the Conservative base....inanely believing they do not need the base to win.

Nice take---all of it.

Then-House Majority Leader, Eric Cantor (R-Va), was considered untouchable and inevitable.

<><> Cantor had tons of money---spent 26 times his primary opponent's $100K.

<><> Cantor consistently polled an astounding 34 points ahead of his unknown opponent.

<><> Cantor was considered "inevitable" and "untouchable".

<><> Cantor had not even one ethics problems.

<><> Cantor sucked-up to an anti-tea party group.

<><> Cantor sucked up to the latino vote.

<><> Cantor showboated his leadership---was deeply into "diversity."

=============================================

BY CONTRAST HIS PRIMARY OPPONENT:

<><> ran as the one to term-limit Cantor;

<><> Brat roundly opposed, and was vociferous against amnesty.

<><> Brat ran as a staunch conservative (now in Congress he has a bonafide 100% conservative rating.)

<><> On election day, Brat got 18,000 more Repub out to the polls than the previous election that elected Cantor.
