Former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, unceremoniously dumped in his 2014 GOP primary by Tea Party favorite Dave Brat, has won a gig at Harvard University’s Institute of Politics.

Cantor will join two others who fell short of election in 2014, former Democratic North Carolina Sen. Kay Hagan and former Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, who lost her bid for governor, as Institute fellows.

Good place for him. I knew he would get a payoff for being a traitor.

Each Republican they shelter allows Harvard to shelter six or seven Democrats and still call themselves “non-partisan.”

It just shows that Cantor was never a conservative and the votes were right in booting him out.

He’ll have his traitor ass name affixed to many many screeds spew forth from that institution condemning conservatives and what not. He won’t even see what they put his name to. All for some cash and perks. They cannot do without what they stole from us.

Now Cantor can drop the phony conservative act and be comfortable with like minded liberal socialists.

He is. Add RINO’, hypocrite, Boehner and Odumbo unofficial slave etc’. But I digress. He’ll fit right in with the other brain-dead has-been commie bastards at Hahvad..

Harvard has become the clearinghouse, club, and think tank for the globalists and establishment elites that have run the USA into the ground with their open borders, multiculturalism, and use of PC to stifle free speech.

Examine the source (and beneficiaries) of much of the crony capitalism and crony corruption that now infects and infests the USA. You will find individuals and policy makers that are intimately connected to Harvard, or as alumni. Harvard has become the screening tool to their group think.

Has anyone seen the documentary “Inside Job” about Wall St and the 2008 crisis? It won Academy Awards.

It’s one of the few documentaries that is guaranteed to pxss you off at the system, regardless of your politics.

You will learn something about the role Harvard etc played in the destruction of our economy and country and the world economy. It’s guaranteed that you won’t agree with it all, but you will learn something about corruption and how the system is broken. It is something worth watching and that rarely comes out of Hollywood (although the director was an outsider).

Cantor was hired to be their token conservative. He'll continue to claim the conservative tag despite disavowing most conservative positions
