That's deep, I wonder who wrote that for JFK while he was getting a blowjob in the pool by a 17 year old intern.

Well, they have to find something to feel good about, even if it's irrelevant horseshit don't they? Jeeez, Cantor and the rest of the milktoast moderate establishment Republicans are the best friends Obama has in Congress. You know what Boehner's RINO Republicans call midnight? Cave In Time!

Damn you! How could you help deprive humanity from seeing more of the most entertaining psycho loon politician that EVER lived? I mean people have done doctoral work for PhDs by studying her record and speeches. Think of all the zany antics and outrageous hilarity we've missed since then; how diminished we are for it.

Because Cantor’s party is quite conservative, his votes have been quite conservative. But his position of authority also saddles him with any grievances that voters might have against the GOP leadership. Cantor supported a Republican version of the DREAM Act, created to give legal status to undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, and Brat repeatedly called Cantor’s stance “amnesty.” Immigration reform has long been an issue that’s divided the establishment from the grass roots more so than it has the left from the right.

Because illegals flooding over the border, taxing our over burdened welfare system, spying on American citizens, IRS targeting, going to play golf as the Mid East collapses into violent chaos is working out SO very well.

Are you joking, or intentionally being obtuse?
Cantor's district in VIRGINIA is entirely within 100 miles of WASHINGTON, DISTRICT of COLUMBIA (not WA State), and parts withing 50 miles.
Do you claim that broadcast media electromagnetic waves only travel to the borders of a state or district, and then come to a halt? That no TV, Radio, or cable transmissions from Washington reach beyond the borders of DC, even if the broadcast towers actually are located on a hilltop outside the District? Really? Really? Are you trying to ensure everybody knows you are a libtard?
Do you think Virginia gets it's "news" from Chicago? And not the Washington media bubble?

Yanno, some of this we just cannot make up. Are you a troll?

One of the reasons - if not the biggest reason - Eric Cantor lost was that he totally underestimated the dark money machine that was the real force behind David Brat's campaign.

The media is making it seem like Brat was some sort of underdog, but in reality, he's strapped to the hilt with billionaire support and billionaire money.

In fact, you could argue that he pretty much owes his job to people like the Koch brothers and their cronies. John Allison, the former CEO of BB&T bank and the current head of the Koch-founded Cato Institute, gave Brat's college a $500,000 fellowship back in 2010 so he could teach Ayn Rand and libertarianism at Randolph Macon University.

Like hundreds of other college professors across the country these days, David Brat is really just a bought-and-paid-for shill of Charles and David Koch and their buddies.

But the connections between Brat and the dark money machine don't stop there. He was also the hand-picked candidate of the Koch-backed world of right-wing media.

Over the past few months, right-wing talkers like Laura Ingraham and Mark Levin have been pushing Brat and attacking Cantor non-stop on their radio shows. Ingraham even went so far as to say that she wished that President Obama traded Eric Cantor to the Taliban in exchange for Bowe Bergdahl.

Laura and Mark are both on the populist end of the Republican Party, so it's not all that surprising that they would want to see Brat take down Cantor.

But since both of them have taken a lot of money from conservative groups like Americans for Prosperity over the past few years, there's good reason to be suspicious of why they've been pushing so hard specifically for Brat.

As Politico reported a few months ago in what should have been a blockbuster story but was ignored by the mainstream media,

"[F]ilings with the Internal Revenue Service and Federal Election Commission, as well as interviews and reviews of radio shows, found that conservative groups spent nearly $22 million to broker and pay for involved advertising relationships known as sponsorships with a handful of influential talkers including Beck, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh ... Since then, the sponsorship deals have grown more lucrative and tea party-oriented..."

Levin alone apparently took about $757,000 from the Koch-backed Americans for Prosperity over the 2012 election cycle, and if Politico's report is accurate, he's still taking money from them.

Your problem is that you stop at what you wish you knew. You don't question anything that comports with your predetermined beliefs, however misinformed it makes you.

And that, friends, is why David Brat owes his entire career to the Koch brothers. He wouldn't be employed, teaching Ayn Rand at his sinecure of a job, without their direct involvement.

They've been at it for a while now. http://crooksandliars.com/john-amato/koch-brothers-now-under-fire-corr

If a Republican had brought up that phrase, they'd instantly be accused of being RACIST and then mocked unmercifully.

Brat was outspent by Cantor 22 ( or was it 23 ) to 1, but it was the mysterious ' dark money ', which science has yet to actually discover even exist, that is to blame for him unseating an incumbent.

Barack Hussein Obama , lecturing at his sinecure of a job, was some how noble and endearing to the Left, but an actual professor who teaches conservative views... MUST be mocked and belittled.


See how it works, folks ??

Since it is shown to not exist, perhaps it "means" "nonexistent."
