Photos of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Bragging about blocking immigration reform. This is what it looks like when Eric Cantor is trying to gin up the right wing.
As he readies for his June 10 primary, the House majority leader is blanketing his Richmond-area district with red meat mailings to beat back a challenge from Dave Brat, an economics professor at Randolph Macon College.
One mailing has photos of Clinton and Obama, saying the Virginia Republican is “fighting for the truth about Benghazi.”
Another mailer touts a story that called him the “No. 1 guy standing between the American people and immigration reform,” and bragging that immigration activists are “increasingly focusing their ire at one person: Eric Cantor, the House majority leader.”
Cantor is just eight days away from his primary, and he is campaigning aggressively against Brat, airing negative television advertisements and sending out a load of mail pieces throughout his district. Cantor’s aides say they always campaign aggressively, no matter the opponent or how serious the contest.
Cantor’s district includes some of the tony Richmond suburbs and more rural areas around Virginia’s capital city. Brat is not expected to beat Cantor, but his campaign gives a peek into the political challenges the majority leader faces. These challenges will help dictate the political climate in Washington, as Cantor continues his ascent toward speaker.

It’s stunning lack of respect for his constituents that he can lie to their faces and assume they are dumb enough to believe them.
Yeah. He’s against Amnesty.
He’s for abolishing the entire concept of immigration laws.
Then, no crime to be amnestied for. The entire world can walk in, armed, angry and fixin’ to take over.

God help us.
Look at the polling. Many of them are.
The cynicism here is mind-boggling. Eric Cantor makes Obama look principled.
It’s all about the $$$.
Moreover, it shows how false all the arguments have been: “republicans can’t win if they don’t pass immigration reform” while they run against it. They know the people are against it but they plan to pass it anyway “for their own good!” They are insidious oligarchs.
I pray the Virginia District of my birth is inhabited by people that can see through this phony’s machinations.
Please God, allow just one district’s constituents showthey can keep and preserve the spirit of our divinely inspired Constitution by voting for the candidate that is true and faithful.
RINO.
This is what it looks like when Eric Cantor is trying to gin up the right wing.

More like ginning up the right wing to vote against him for his lying ways .... unfortunately, I don’t think it will be enough, but one can always hopey for changey.

Creeps like Cantor wouldn't bother doing it if it did not work.
Our mortal enemy is the low-information Republican primary voter the likes of which gave us Bush I, Dole, Bush II, McLame, and Mitt Romneycare.
“Cynicism, closure, and moving forward” are all meaningless Journalists’ buzz words and phrases.
Those who are able to learn from the past quickly lose their gullibility.
Those who have learned that the “Path of Least Resistance” concept as used in Science is essentially “Murphy’s Law” (”If anything can go wrong it will, and at the worst possible time. Things always take longer than predicted. Things always cost more than estimated. Etc., etc., etc.”).
Those who apply Murphy’s Law to anything to do with Government are usually correct. They call themselves SKEPTICAL.
The ONLY thing Eric Cantor cares about is Eric Cantor.
