Tea Party Cuts Cantor a New One

In fact, Brat kicked Cantor's butt. jb

In spite of being outspent 26:1 !!! ...Jim Thompson

Polls predicted Cantor would win 68% to 28%.

Wow. Whose polls? If true, shows you how unreliable these polls can be. On Drudge, I saw pic of Obama consoling Cantor. Democrats are on notice that Amnesty is toxic in a country where half of 35 yo's live in Mom's basement for lack of jobs.

Right now, a bus system is moving Hispanics from central america into the US by the thousands. I see some here in Michigan, and I say hello to them.

But this is an engineered social change ploy by this administration.

Decoded, it consists of the (Marxist) social disruption theory of Cloward and Piven, two Columbia U. professors. Rather than the violent revolution promoted in the Communist Manifesto, their approach is to collapse the society from within by creating chaos and over-loading the social structure. That would then lead to a perfect communist state to replace the collapsed society.

Cloward and Piven were the favorites of Bill Clinton, and they were honored guests at his inauguration. Along with Saul Alinsky, they are the main exponents of communist takeover strategy and tactics today. It explains the otherwise inexplicable attempts to destroy the stability of the society.

Will this work in the US? That's an interesting question. If there was a collapse of the currency system, that might help.

Vote wisely.

That particular demographic is not being displaced by immigrants, they're displaced because the economy doesn't need them. The south/central American crowd are taking all the low wage labor jobs, but that's also why the GOP wants them here.

The native born Americans are doing a superlative job of accomplishing that all on their own, the immigrant contribution to the chaos is relatively minor by comparison.

XXXXX - Maybe not in reality, but the voters may not know that. Also, there are 250,000 (est. for year) minors being moved into Arizona. They will need schooling, requiring ESL classes. Many will go on welfare.

XXXXX Yes, they are just pawns in this game. Social disruptors, and fodder for leftist votes. Most immigrants vote socialist, eg want government hand-outs. You may like the theory, but as an attitude it has never built a great society. In any case, the chess game tactics is what we are looking at.

Sun Tzu Art of War: Deceive the Enemy.

To the social change tactician, a happy, ordered society is the enemy. This must be disrupted by deception and chaos.

Why not just learn to snip posts? Then it is clear which parts you are referring to.

It would be even easier if you (and several others in this group) would ditch the crappy Google interface and use a proper newsreader and newserver. (The best solution, of course, would be for Google to fix their groups interface - but "do no evil" does not seem to apply to that interface.)

Not really, Virginia has open primaries and opposing party sabotage played a big role here. The idea is to put the worst candidate on the opposition's ticket.

That's true--the "establishment" GOP wants amnesty, driven by two factions: 1) Chamber of Commerce, which wants cheap labor, 2) big tech, which wants H1B high-tech workers. The pols think this'll win them gratitude and votes, plus a few think importing poor people to displace local workers helps the economy.

Fact: If they're afforded legal "status," they're about to get Obamacare at taxpayer expense. Perversely, on better terms than the citizens.

ISTM it's mostly not C&P; some just really believe in magical economics, and the rest (Hilldebeest, Pelsoi, Reid, Obama) just want to win elections, damn the country.

That won't be enough. At bottom, we've got a generation un-moored by their schools from our founding, made susceptible to all sorts of pajama-boy Marx's mumbo-jumbo.

Remember when Joel Koltner (RIP) admitted he'd *never* studied civics or the constitution in school? A country of the people doesn't work if the people don't know how to run it.

The new generations need to rediscover how America works and why, or it's pajamas for the lot of you!

Cheers, James Arthur

In a solidly Republican district, the opposition worked hard to get the Tea Party guy elected?

Yeah, that makes sense. Or not.

Cantor's the GOP's amnesty point guy, plus he was taking over the state party apparatus, inserting his goon squads to replace grass-roots types. The grass-roots rather objected to both of those, yes they did.

Cheers, James Arthur

I live in 7th district and know considerably more about the place than you do. Maybe you missed the part about *open primaries*. That allows hard core Democratic party activists to vote in the GOP primary, and they do. Of cou rse this Bart character was taken aback by the results, I think it's all ab solutely hilarious. And the place is not "solidly" Republican, it is a fake gerrymandered kluge of rural, ignorant, and certifiably illiterate hickbil les for the most part, but it does contain a bastion of liberal population in Henrico (pronounced EN-RIKE'-OH) and Richmond which nearly outnumber the totality of the rural crowd. Cantor is detested here and a whole bunch of people are roaring with laughter over the results. Democracy at work! LOL.

Sure, teach them "civics" before they can do critical thinking, and you can install all kinds of convenient delusions. The Jesuits are supposed to believe that if they can teach a child up to the age of seven, they've got them for life.

Rediscover? The people that own America have been running America since the revolution. Back in the 1780's, the competition weren't running their countries very well, but the competition have worked out a variety of better constitutions than the US version since then and the US is still stuck with the political equivalent of M/S DOS, and a bunch of greedy parasites sucking the rest of the country dry.

Even the rich would do better if they were a little less greedy.

Not as much better as everybody else from further down the pecking order, but they'd still do better than they do now. Healthier, better-educated workers are more productive, more cooperative and rather better innovators.

u do. Maybe you missed the part about *open primaries*. That allows hard co re Democratic party activists to vote in the GOP primary, and they do.

I know it, naturally, as do my buddies who worked hard booting Cantor. If Virginia Reagan Democrats want to help stand up for the constitution and fiscal sanity, that's fine with me--welcome aboard!

s all absolutely hilarious.

You're not the only one.

ge of rural, ignorant, and certifiably illiterate hickbilles for the most p art, but it does contain a bastion of liberal population in Henrico (pronou nced EN-RIKE'-OH) and Richmond which nearly outnumber the totality of the r ural crowd.

Reports are that Cantor had a 'safe' district, and Brat's likely to win.

hter over the results.

Yep. Hooyah.

Cheers, James Arthur

IIRC he ran unopposed half the time, that's what you call pretty safe. The Democrats bypassed the primary election process for the 7th this year. Look at this mess:

Can we say lackadaisical?

Another professor from Randolph-Macon, this one in sociology. He'll figure out a way to blow the election...

Then look at this stellar bio:

He has nothing in his background to recommend him for the job IOW.

Ha... if you had asked me who I would have voted for: the grove city college grad or the princeton divinity grad I would have picked the grove city guy....talk about role reversal

Wednesday's "Democracy Now" had the Nation's John Nichols do analysis on this contest. Turns out Brat was a Wall Street basher and tarred Cantor with his closeness to Wall Street.

This was NOT a victory for the tea baggers since no astroturf tea bagger money was put into Brat's campaign. I would say tea bagger types did support Brat, based on the rude booing they did when Cantor was speaking at a GOP event.

Given the proclivity of tea baggers to shoot you point blank in the head then place a "Don't tread on me" flag on your lifeless body, getting booed is getting off easy.

It was better than a tea party victory. It was a case where the voters threw out a republocrat politician because they figured out who cantor is. You should be happy that the republican party is in dis array.

I got all sorts of e-mails from TP in VA asking for help. ISTM they were quite active.

Brat isn't a TP pol, he's a fiscal "R", but preferable to TP-bashing open-the-gates "Yessir Mr. Chamber-of-Commerce" Cantor.

A proclivity of approximately 0 ppb.
