And these are the people some believe will rescue America after November?

After the skin-crawling exploitation of black voters in Mississippi, the GOP’s current leadership wing gives a second demonstration, this time in Virginia, of just how committed they are to “a big tent,” or to the GOP’s vitality in general. The Senate majority matters, the House majority matters. But this party’s leadership is infested with the same disregard for Washington’s intended purpose as any Clintonian.
Third parties fail. But what cost does remaining aligned with this generation of GOP leadership take from the cause of liberty and transparency?
Recall, last week Eric Cantor said: “Of course I’ll vote for David Brat … I want a Republican to hold this seat.”
This week? He sends Ray Allen — read anything I’ve published at PJM the last few months for background on this Tammany Hall-style thug — to proxy a budget vote for the seat Cantor really really earnestly hopes the GOP holds.

But here's one example: "Conservatives wanted to spend $288K to build a sophisticated grassroots operation for each of the ten counties in the 7th District to help with general election voter turnout in November. It would have far exceeded any sort of GOP victory efforts in the past, with each county having the necessary resources, talent, and technical support to increase our voter margins in November. This proposal was flatly denied."
They're giving the money to the RNC and NRCC instead.
The GOPe liberals are taking their ball and going home to the Democrat party.
The GOPe’s suicide mission continues.
If the exploitation of blacks to win a primary in Mississippi is “skin-crawling” what adjective is best used to describe the energetic recruitment of Leftists to defeat Cantor in a primary in Richmond?

The national GOP has openly declared war on their Tea Party base. They are not with us. They are against us.
Wow...
Your last four words truly say it all, ma’am!
There is no entrenched congress-critter, regardless of party affiliation, that wants to give up their small (or large) influence on a TRILLION dollar budget. If money = votes, why change wallets with each pair of pants?
That is the crux and specific leverage point “we the people” must take away from our reps.
And this is exactly what I would expect from this low life POS narcissist
I have been a registered Republican voter in every election for 50 years now. What a disappointment my party has been for far too many years. When asked why he had left the Democrat Party, Ronald Regan replied that he had not left the Democrat Party, rather the Democrat Party had left him. For me, it is adios to the Republican Party.
People like Boehner, Cantor, McConnell, Cochran and others make me want to vomit.
And these are the people some believe will rescue America after November?
“what adjective is best used to describe the energetic recruitment of Leftists to defeat Cantor in a primary in Richmond?”
I would say (waste of time) since Cantor’s district doesn’t include Richmond.
We should have done something when McCain threw the election. Anyone paying attention should have seen the fix was in.
During the 2012 debates, Romney and Obama couldn’t look more staged as they “circled” each other while clutching their microphones. The side drama made “World Wrestling Entertainment” look real.
The GOP is just a part of the Democrat party. This is more proof. The GOP would rather lose than see a conservative win an election.
people need to really understand what this is all about.
Brat won, in significant part, because some Dems who hated Cantor gave his campaign information and tools used by Dems to microtarget and win elections.
Serious keys to the kingdom sort of stuff.
Brats folks want to take that knowledge and expand it’s use in what could be a model of winning elections by using proven Dem-developed capabilities.
Cantors folks completely undercut that. This isn’t just selling out Brat, it’s selling out the entire Party and candidates across the board.
This is why we need term limits. Elected officials believe they own these seats and when they lose they get despondent and forget why they got elected in the first place.
Still, it was instructive. He was in the lead pretty quickly, before he dropped out. Now, take someone with good name recognition (Rush, Palin, Ted Cruz, Dr. Carson) and a few tens of million in startup costs, and you will start a brush fire. You can't build the infrastructure to get victories in the House and Senate in the first election cycle, but you can identify those you are allied with, the conservative wing of the GOP, and ask your supporters to vote for them in the general.
If the conservative then wins the White House, he can either force the GOP to surrender to him and let him run the GOP, and he comes in and cleans house (not likely, given the corruption of the GOP) or start a new organization with a different name and invites conservatives to join. In conservative districts and states, you'd get most GOPers to join. It would be a coalition government for a time, with the GOPe forced to go along with the conservatives or join with the Dems. Eventually, though, the GOPe would go the way of the Whigs.
That's my view of the way to proceed. If we try to work within the GOP this presidential cycle, we are going to be very disappointed, and that may open the way for another lib to be elected when people stay home. I'd rather take my chances on a conservative alternative. The GOPe hates us. They don't hate Obama. They hate us.
First the dimoKKKRAT party left me. Now the Republican party has left me. Now I am just an independent Conservative Tea Party type.
The GOP would rather lose than see a conservative win an election.
Is there anyone who can honestly deny that? Rove undercut and backstabbed primary winners who beat his annointed ones.
