Move to defeat House majority leader: I agree with much of what the tea party stands for and many of the efforts of leaders within it to elect conservatives. The tea party, however, is not one group; it is thousands of major and minor groups across the nation, and it is not possible to agree with all of them or for all of those groups to agree with each other.
Some Virginia tea-party groups are leading the charge to oust House Majority Leader Eric Cantor from his Seventh District seat. These groups have chosen David Brat, a college professor who appears to lean more toward Ayn Rand than either traditional or social conservatism. Brat was once an appointee of former Democrat Gov. Tim Kaine, although that does not automatically make him a liberal. Social conservatives will find a rather lofty but vague pro-life statement listed last among issues at his Internet site. Many of his other positions seem to be libertarian in nature, which makes sense as many tea-party groups are moving in that direction.
The biggest tea-party accusation against Cantor is that he is “too establishment.” The fact that he can move jobs and investments to his Seventh District seems to be a liability to him with tea-party members. It is, in essence, the tea party saying: “The fact that Eric Cantor is the second most powerful man on Capitol Hill and can bring jobs and benefits to our district is proof he is too establishment and we need to get rid of him.”
I appreciate a lot of what the tea party does, but in some of the groups there is a real lack of understanding of the Constitution that is waved around at meetings, when it comes to the duties of congressmen.

Ping to #80. I include you in my friends.
“I don’t know you; I’ve never chatted with you. You are interloping.”
Interloping? You posted your derisive comments on a public forum. Evidently you don’t quite get the public post/ private message distinction.
But that tangent has nothing to do with my question. You brought up “Flat Earthers” and “idiots” on this Eric Cantor- Dave Brat thread. I simply want to establish if you mean to characterize Brat and his supporters with that description. It’s not a tough question.
I am looking out the window and it looks flat to me.
That is why we don't slide down it.
If I cant see it then it cant be real.
You were answered. In my previous reply.
Bye.
Very wise comments, SinSei SOL.
“You were answered. In my previous reply.”
Nice try. That previous answer was in response to whether you consider Flat Earthers = Tea Party.
The question that you aren’t answering is whether your terms “Flat Earthers” and “idiots” was meant to apply to Dave Brat and his supporters. This is, after all, an Eric Cantor/ Dave Brat thread and you saw fit to introduce those pejoratives.
If that’s not what you meant you can easily explain yourself.
For some reason you prefer to avoid answering.
But as is often the case a refusal to answer provides its own information. Ask Lois Lerner.
You are owed no explanation for anything. If you can’t comprehend English, that’s not my problem; it’s yours.
Let me make this easier for you:
“I, GOPsterinMA, brought up “Flat Earthers” and “idiots” as a way of describing Dave Brat and his supporters”
Pick the answer that best reflects your intent:
1. Yes
2. No
You have problems. That’s VERY obvious. And you’re a bore.
You should talk to yourself more, you’ll like what you hear.
There’s really no way to make it easier for you indicate just who you mean by “Flat Earthers” and “idiots”.
I suppose you feel uneasy about answering.
Why is that?
Let me put it in a way you can understand: I couldn’t care less about Eric Cantor, whoever runs against him or you.
I have more concern for what I flush down the toilet that any of the life forms listed above.
Can you figure it out yet, sport?
“...Evidently to you Tea Party = Flat Earthers...”
How did you get that from his comment? GOPSter was talking about Cantor.
Anyone supporting amnesty is clearly NOT Tea Party. Anyone doing ANYTHING less than stonewalling, impeding, blocking, and otherwise halting the Democrat communist assault on our way of life needs to go.
If Cantor is willing to do that, fine. Leave him be. If not, than he needs to GTFO and be replaced with someone who will.
It’s pretty simple.
The rabblerowsers are out more these days, SOL.
Sure seems like it.
Yeppers.
Temper temper little boy.
Thanks! I was on the cusp of taking a dump and you came around - instant poop!
You’re better than hot coffee in the morning. :)
That time of the month, little girl?
Is that so? Well maybe your scatological pal's writing is even less coherent than I gave him credit for. All he needed to do is clarify who he meant by
"ALL "Flat Earthers" need the final "solution"; idiocy need not be tolerated. '
when I asked him but it appears that he prefers drama to answering a simple question.
It appears you came looking for an argument where none needed to exist.
