White House: Immigration Didn’t Sink Cantor
National Review Online ^ | 6/10/14 | Joel Gehrke

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

Cantor’s problem was his position on immigration reform...

ILLEGALS are NOT immigrants.

A thief who breaks into our home is NOT an honored guest.

Criminal drug dealers are NOT pharmacists... Illegals are NOT immigrants - they are people who illegally break into our country.

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

Reminds me of the speech in 1984 where the enemy they fighting changes in mid-speech. The sheeple don’t even notice.

“So the White House has to comment on a Republican Losing a Primary?”

That’s a good point. How often do they comment on primaries of the other party?

Cantor’s mouth did him in I think. Pandering.

Any "R" that actually believes this is truly an idiot, or is playing for the wrong team. Neither choice is good.

This is all you need to know about the Beltway RINO’s. The White House and leftists are cheerleading them.

I heard Colter on Megan Kelley’ show tonight. She thinks amnesty is a great issue for the Repubs to run on and she cited a poll of the majority of Americans want a “pathway” for the illegals.

Thank you yorkiemom, but I think this proves they aren't different parties, but one and the same.

Like the Soviet Politburo or did you know East Germany had Right Wing Parties and Christan Parties too?

Yes, East Germany had the Christian Democratic Union, completely unfetter, the only requirement was that they were under the umbrella of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany.....

Well, it wasn't really the 'other' party now was it?

Sadly true.

Cantor was certainly one of them. I hope Brat doesn’t turn out to be.

And there’s loads of Democrats who are fed up with immigration. The Dems in California have seen their neighborhoods transformed in bad ways just like everyone else. Nobody likes ‘press one for English’, graffiti everywhere, gangs and shootings and all the rest.

Only the sleazebags running the GOPe think that Americans aren’t angry over illegal aliens and the politicians who refuse to enforce the law and deport them.
