Cantor looses primary to tea party candidate

[1 Patriot-of-many]

The guy was rated 100% by pro-life groups, 0% by pro-choice groups, strongly against gun control, against same sex marriage, one of the republican parties largest fundraisers, the only Jewish republican in either house, actually the only non-Christian republican in either house, and the majority leader.

At best the republicans traded him for someone with no connections, limited name recognition, who will likely be an ineffective junior congressman....and at worst you traded him for a democrat.

So Cantor was adult enough to realize that some sort of limited amnesty might be necessary, that's a lot of serious positives to give up in the likely vain hope that the new guy will not just win, but make any difference whatsoever on the issue.

There really isn't any way around it, this was bad for the republican party, and bad for the State of Virginia.

So your prerequisite voting for someone involves how much pork they can bring home and how many liberal policies they can vote for. Yeah we're well aware of it, you and your ilk are the downfall of this country.

It's not a prerequisite, nor are "liberal policies" necessarily required, but the fact is there are congressmen with power and those with very little. The respective leaders are going to be able to make more differences for their state, making them better able to represent their district and state. VA likely loses that at the end of next month when Cantor steps down.

Sure, it could be measured in pork to a degree, but if the pork is going either way, why not want it to flow into your state?

Some of us want a Constitutional gov't like the founders intended. I know you don't commie, that's patently obvious 24/7 for your posts. Pork at the end of enslavement doesn't sit well with some of us Kapo.

In what way was anything I said unconstitutional?

Even among the founders some congressmen had more influence than others.

[Partisan1983]

Well, rand Paul just lost my vote. He has come out in favor of amnesty.....fuck him. Get the feeling I will be staying home next election. Just will no longer vote the diet dim ticket. No more.

One should always second guess everything they hear....

Uh handouts, pork None of them are authorized in the Constitution. They made it quite clear what the duties and authority of the Congress is, and it doesn't include butterfly studies.

It doesn't exclude butterfly studies.

Sorry, but this is the reality here, some congressmen will be able to do more for their constituency, with that being the case, it's better to have an influential one.

yeah so. some have to start somewhere, I mean have you always been Kadmos? Or did you start egg and sperm, w/o being aborted? stupid. stupid. stupid.
damn just fucking stupid. no one starts anywhere? they are just there?

buy your thinking Brat should be house Maj leader. correct?

[Ruskiegunlover]

1 Patriot, I respectfully disagree. I read the article he wrote. It sounds too much like 1986. They'll 'vote' in congress on if its secure? Don't see it working. Based on a HUGE case study of laws and law enforcement in this country, they will write some bullshit loophole in the law, allowing them to keep going forward with what is in reality AMNESTY for the millions of illegals, while NOT securing the border.

Just have no faith anymore. I used to debate people like me, and believe we should continue voting in rinos as a last ditch thing. I just no longer feel that way.

[Oswald Bastable]

Who's deflecting now?

What deflection? Show me a democrat for ending illegal immigration and closing the borders and I'll vote for him, just as I would for Brat.

You're trying to pass off someone with a divinity degree from Princeton, who works in academia as a tenured economics professor as "Joe everyman".

So you're trying to tell me that the majority in DC are as everyman as Brat is?

By the way, when you said "rather than a career politician simply trying to solidify his own power", you do realize we were comparing Brat and Cruz right? Guess you don't think much of Cruz.

I think a hell of a lot more of Cruz than I do slimy liars, both those in politics and and those outside who champion them just because they have tenure...

This deflection...

Forget the immigration and try to tell me honestly if you would think a democrat with Brat's education and work history is someone you would think of as "Joe everyman"

It's hard to be Joe Everyman when your worldview is warped by a fundamental psychosis.

[Kadmos]

Another deflection.

Characterizing being a democrat as a fundamental psychosis is ridiculous, quite a lot of people choose which party they vote for by as little as a single issue they feel strongly about. That's true of both parties.

Actually yes it does. It specifically states what congress has the authority to do. And don't give me the baloney about the general welfare clause you libtards have usurped to mean anything. If the general welfare clause meant everything then why spell out specifically what Congress has the authority to do? Of course logic doesn't work when you libtards want free money and stuff.
