-— Cameron calling Cantor a conservative?!?! -—

I’ve listened to him enough to know he sucks. He”s just like Mike Wallace’s kid.

I’m curious too. I don’t know anything about him, and the only thing people here seem to like is that he is anti-immigration. I can’t believe that this is his only policy, however.

He’s an economics professor, so he might not be your usual one-trick amateur who has gained favor for one particular position, and instead might actually be a solid candidate.

Cantor seemed to have a lot of potential, being intelligent, conservative, and young. But he just never really connected with the economic reality of his constituents in a lot of ways (an odd thing, since that was his specialty) and then he somehow fell in with the Boehner wing.

I hope David Brat turns out to be what Cantor could have been. I guess we’ll find out.

Thank you Mark Levin! Mark you are truly the great one. Mark Levin has been all over Cantor’s ass. I remember watching Cantor applauding like a sea lion at Sea World when 0bama was pushing amnesty in the state of the union show.

Levin is also raising the possibility of Kentucky republicans letting McConnell lose to the Democrat. The GOP might not need McConnell to take the senate majority.

Okay, Cantor, time to come to the microphone and throw your support behind Dave Brat. C'mon, Eric, you know how this works. Republicans MUST UNITE in order to defeat the "true enemy", right?!?! RIGHT, Eric?!?! Show us how it's done!

The picture on Drudge that accompanies this story is simply epic! Shows Obama putting his arm around Cantor! I love Drudge’s sense of humor! :-D

I think we all needed a little good news!

As far as I know, Bevin made one and only one mistake-—that of being at a cockfight or something. We lost a fine candidate with that, regardless of reason.

Also, McConnell, whatever you may think of him, has brought towering pork back to Ky.

So far. 2 GOP incumbents have been knocked out by Tea Party guys. Cantor, the one in Texas(Can’t remember his name) and Thad Cochran will be the 3rd. Loving every minute of this.

Ingraham has been equally vociferous. Annoying at times but all’s well that ends well.

There was a time when Cantor was a decent right-of-center republican. He simply lost his way and got caught up in the power and oligarchy.

Just heard Campaign Karl say, "Now, the Tea Party will demand to be heard." Hell, they are the PEOPLE. Why should they not be heard? They are the PEOPLE.

Agreed. I was very impressed with Cantor initially.

Then he seemed to sucked into the same Washington vortex that has grabbed other politicians and he came out the other side with a lot of positions that are opposed by the mainstream

Indeed, you can see how annoyed Carl Cameron is, which is why he mentioned a write in campaign.
