Remember, politics is about power, don’t expect politicians to respond to anything but. What we are seeing tonight is power, pure and simple. Cantor forget that. Other politicians will not make the same mistake.
The other lesson to take from this is that results come not from empty rhetoric about what ought to be, it’s about delivering results at the ballot box. What happens in local races resonates across the country when it is done at the right place and at the right time.
This will be a sleepless night for many career politicians. I will sleep like a baby.
Yup. Power is taken. It is wielded. It isn’t negotiated for, bargained with or ‘lesser eviled’ into position.
And if unused, it disappears.
It took years to get rid of Dewhurst, but he's finally gone.
