Both Denham and Buck McKeon claimed that Cantor quietly supported introducing the Enlist Act. The fact that hes suddenly changed his mind means either (a) he badly misjudged the degree of resistance to Enlist that hed see from conservatives or (b) hes genuinely fearful of whats going to happen in the primary for his seat in Virginia next month. WaPo had a story about that the other day, claiming that challenger Dave Brat was starting to make Cantor sweat with attacks on him over ta da immigration. I didnt take it seriously because its so unusual for a big-name House member like Cantor to lose. His 180 on Enlist makes me wonder, though. What numbers is this guy seeing to make him want to pull the plug now, at a moment when Boehners signaling his resolve to tackle immigration this summer? If theyre going to move on amnesty, it makes sense that theyd do it soon and also that they might want to start small, with a measure targeting highly sympathetic illegals. Denhams ready to help on both counts. Instead Cantors running away. Hmmmm.
Cantor needs to be retired along with Mitch so they can spend more quality time together.
Homicide is a very broad category, Chishti said. You can have vehicular homicide. Not everyone is an ax murderer.
I no longer consider defense authorization bills as “must pass” legislation - our military is in shambles and is an absolute monstrosity. The Left routinely uses this legislation as a Trojan horse to fill with all manner of radical social engineering crap, and then dares conservatives to oppose defense funding that we must have.
Now, I’d rather the military just disband entirely. Let grassroots armed patriots do the defending.
I am dead serious.
You put your right hand in
Ya take your right hand out
Ya put your right hand in
And turn yourself about
It’s all hokey-pokey!
” legalize young undocumented immigrants who serve in the military.”
I admit,,,, I’m quite confused on this particular issue! Willingness to serve seems like a positive thing, eh? But I’d like to know how well they serve. I just don’t know for certain.
Cantor delenda est.
Cantor is DEFINITELY feeling footsteps. We are told that a leader winning his Primary is a forgone conclusion...not a chance for a challenger.
But I still remember Newt, as SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, winning one of his Primaries by something like 50.5 to 49.5. He was VERY HUMBLED by it and said that he would start listening to the needs of his constituents, rather than acting like some God-given visionary. He did and he did fine in Primaries after that.
My point being that the FIRST THING conservatives have to do is stop thinking that Cantor cannot be beaten - HE CERTAINLY CAN, and he has an opponent that’s positioned perfectly to do so.
When Eric Cantor was addressing the 7th district:”Harry Reid’s amnesty bill is DOA.”
It should have been Eric Cantor:”Eric Cantor’s Dreamer bill is DOA and will never get a vote in the house”
The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarters Expenses?
If Eric Cantor loses his Primary to David Brat..... wow... that will send shock-waves through the heart of D.C.
