White House: Immigration Didn’t Sink Cantor

A spokesman for President Obama rushed to assure House Republicans that Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.) didn’t actually lose because of his gestures toward Democrats on immigration reform. “Cantor’s problem wasn’t his position on immigration reform, it was his lack of a position,” Obama advisor Dan Pfeiffer tweeted, citing the success of Senator Lindsay Graham (R., S.C.). “Graham wrote and passed a bill and is winning big.” Cantor’s campaign sent out direct mail pieces ahead of the election maintaining that he was ”stopping the Obama-Reid plan to give illegal aliens amnesty,” but challenger Dave Brat accused him of supporting

Republicans voting against Cantor was “an act of love.”

[Charles Martel]

Yep, that could easily happen. Later, when the fuss has died down and they luck into a sympathetic Congress, the Dems will try to have it incorporated into the U.S. Code by attaching it to some obscure and unrelated piece of legislation.

[Chode]

yeah, right...

What was once common sense is no longer. Truth was once revered...

Really. He’s doing the “death by 1000 cuts” routine on us... and it’s working. This might just wake some people up.

Everything goes Mullah Baraq’s way...no matter what.

“The White House is whistling past the legal amnesty graveyard. “

So is the GOPe and RINO radio. I heard Hugh Hewitt, John Batchelor and Larry Kudlow spinning Cantor’s loss exactly the same way as Obama.

None of them will admit that Americans want illegals kicked out of the country. They all want to give them amnesty.

He was too...conservative, Yea that it. Way way too conservative. And people didn’t like his pet.... ah....penguin. Yea his pet penguin.

[morphing libertarian]

Is that the new WH Media Liar?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Well, now we really know who Cantor was working for, eh?

[laplata]

Obama is going to go all out on immigration now. He doesn’t care what people think or who he hurts, including Dems.

[Oatka]

Spin, spin, spin. A Sperry gyroscope couldn’t do better.

[TADSLOS]

What’s he got to lose? He’s in unilateral hyper-drive.

[laplata]

That’s right. He’s going to go Rogue big time, now.

[Norm Lenhart]

Pain is a great motivator.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Yea, the illegal aliens stayed home because no one on the ticket was pro-amnesty enough.

[Graewoulf]

Obama looks more like Alfred E. Newman every day - - - .

[Hotlanta Mike]

It does send a message, doesn’t it? Hasta la vista Sr. Eric.

[MtnClimber]

Bath house Barry sends out his minions to deflect the truth. “Down is the new up” they shout.
