Following Eric Cantor's historic primary loss from a tea party challenger nobody expected to win, the real biggest losers are listed below.
Courtesy of OpenSecrets, here are the Top 20 2014 Donors by company:
And for Cantor's entire career, here are the biggest industry donors:
It would appear the biggest loser tonight is Wall Street and the NAR, especially if the latter was to be compensated by Blackstone for becoming America's biggest landlord.
Well, well, well. We now get to see who overpays AMNESTY WHORE Cantor!
BTW, here is a “third” TEA Party Platform:
* Close and seal the Southern US Border, all 2,000 + miles of it.
* Cancel NAFTA.
* Abolish all Federal, State and Local Welfare payments to non-citizens of the USA.
* Block all money transfers to Mexico, or other any Country South of our Southern Border.
* Eat lunch.
* After lunch, pass and sign Federal Penalty law to anyone who hires an Illegal Alien Invader, with a fine of $1,000 per day per alien.
* String Concertina Wire Holding-Pen Stockades at 100 mile intervals for the newly captured gotta-ways.
* Be as hostile to Mexicans as the Mexicans have been to the US Marine held and tortured in Prison by the Mexican Guards for the last two months.
* Hire Greyhound Bus Company to transport Illegal Alien Invaders to Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s Chain Link Desert Spa near Phoenix, Arizona.
* Eat supper.
Ok, where are the Koch Brothers?
Sounds good to me.
Lots of ambulance chasers there. Man we need TORT reform badly.

Fines are just a cost of doing business with these people. Make it a FIRM 30 days for each alien. Even in the county jail with "those people" (in their minds) ought to be enough to get the point across - plus they'd be a social pariah at the Country Club, and we just can't have THAT.
Repeal 18 USC 922
What spoils the party, unfortunately, is that Lindsey Graham won renomination. Yes, "we win some, lose some"; but the hour is so late, we need to change that to "win many, lose very few."
Yet, everything said, Brat sounds like a very welcome addition to the ongoing battle for American culture. May God continue to Bless his efforts, hereafter.

I would also impose a fine for overstaying your visa. Starting January 1, 2015 (pick the date), If you have overstayed your visa, you have 10 days to report to US Gov’t concerning your whereabouts and may re-apply for a visa (on a case-by-case) basis. [if you are receiving ANY type of welfare benefit, you’re going home]. Each day you delay, will cost you $100 in fines ...
The djia is down. I like it when crony capitalists lose.
All I can say is thank the Lord we got rid of this scumbag. Looking at these numbers it is obvious that he was totally bought and sold.
Unfortunately , most States that are East of the Missippi River have no provision for : " RECALL " .
That one provision , alone , would make government more responsive to "We the People ", rather than to "Big Money "
and needs to be addressed in any Constitutional rewrite .
Agree, bought & sold by Wall Street, crony capitalists, chamber of commerce crew, etc. What is such a surprise is how cheap he goes, Goldman Sachs got him for a bag of peanuts.
Indeed. A good start that wouldn't cost a lot as the mechanism is already in place - just not used.
Eric Cantor’s biggest donor must be the DNC.
