I don't think his faith had anything to do with the race. My guess most Jews wouldn't know who he is if asked, and wouldn't know he was Jewish. Dems will argue, of course, it was the issue. Elected 7 times, the voters just found out he was Jewish.Related threads

Lefties Drag Cantor's Jewish Faith Into Shocking Loss, When They May Have Contributed to His

Freepers are chiming in that they didn’t know he was a Jew. A total non-issue but Blabberman-Schultz will probably be pushing this memo.

Too much schmuck. Not enough mensch.

I see the Republicans as having an opportunity right now to get Jews to support the GOP.

Cut off aid to PLO and Hamas, and recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capitol. Also, stop saying that Judea and Sumeria
are occupied which is nonsense.

See the Dems get Jews votes but no longer talk the talk of supporting Israel. GOP has to just be seen as pro Israel.

Well, this Jewish guy is not upset about Cantor’s loss.

At all.

He was a liberal and needed to go.

I think a lot of conservative Jewish folk had great hopes for Cantor. I certainly did. It’s socially problematic being conservative and Republican for a lot of Jewish Americans. Cantor represented a “great Jewish hope” for a lot of conservative Jews, to show that, yes, it was OK to be Jewish and politically conservative.

Sadly, Cantor turned out to be a lot like Colin Powell. Powell was “the great black hope” for conservative blacks. Well, Obama-supporting Powell was pathetic and needed to go, too.

So, while I still hope for a “great Jewish hope” to get politically-conservative Jewish Americans out of the closet (and there are a LOT more than polling or voting would lead one to believe), I am not sad to see Cantor go, in the least.

Liberal Jews are bad for the Jews and bad for America and Israel.

As a complete aside, does Brat look almost like a clone of Cantor, or is that just me? I have to look at them side-by-side to tell the difference. Not to stereotype my own people, but Brat looks pretty damn Israeli to me. Be hilarious if that was the case and really put the race baiters on their heels.

I agree with you and see this as a very obvious way to continue to demonize those who want the government to stop wasting money.
