House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is losing his primary tonight.
http://www.balloon-juice.com/2014/06/10/hate-it-or-love-it-the-underdogs-on-top-2/ Woot! Of course, the Dems don't have anyone running against him, so ... :-/ Cheers, Scott. (Who figures Cantor will run as a write-in if he loses tonight.) |

You beat me to it!
It's good news as far as I'm concerned. Just another obvious clown won. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov |

This really frosts me.
"The amnesty issue is the symbolic powerful expression about the difference between Eric and I on jobs," Brat said. http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/11/politics/cantor-upset-analysis/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 What is so fricking difficult about using the words "me" and "I" appropriately? But, he is a Tea Party candidate so I guess I cannot really expect him to possess as much as a first grader's command of the English language. |

Need we remind you...

He also attrubuted winning to God and called it a miracle.
“God acted through people on my behalf,” Mr. Brat told Fox News during an interview Tuesday night. “It’s an unbelievable miracle.”This is from a professor of Economics? My theory is that between motivated Tea Party types and Democrats who "crossed the line", as they can in Virginia, the regular Republicans got swamped and Cantor lost. Come the election, the Democrats will vote for another professor from Randolph-Macon College and some pissed off Republicans will vote against Brat as well and he will go down in flames. Or, so one can hope. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been.

There is a nutcase on nutcase House proxy fight going on in upstate NY. In one corner, three time loser and habitual drunkard Matt Doheny, in the other, astroturf "local" businesswoman Elise Stefanik. Both are slugging it out as to who is the One True Conservative® Doheny is backed by Norquist, Stefanik by Rove. Both have ordered extra trainloads of muck and trebuchets. 't Is going to be a long 4 months... |
