A Brat Ousts House Majority Leader

[JohnStOnge]

Wow. Race has been called for Professor Brat over Eric Cantor in the primary.

"Cantor, a former state legislator, was elected to Congress in 2000."

There is your problem in a nutshell right there. I will not vote for any Senator for re-election more than once, and any Congressman more than 3 times. Senators should serve no more than 12 years, House no more than 8. Then get the F out and go get a job in the real world..

We need term limits, and I imagine this might be one thing most conks and donks on here could agree on....

Hmm. How much of a tea party extremist is this guy? I voted against Graham and Scott but I'm sure they've beat any runoff challengers. Tis a shame. The Senate could have used a Citadel alum.

[Ibanez]

Nevermind, Graham and Scott won their respective primaries. Fuck.

[Pwns]

I'm not all that conservative on immigration, but I do like to see a politician doing the bidding for special interests and ignoring his constituents get owned.

The last Citadel grad who was in the Senate was a shit bag.

As Tip O'Neill said, all politics is local. Cantor had a good thing going, but he didn't tend to the folks back home.

[andy7171]

He wasn't even in his home district yesterday! LOL

Why? Because he is a Democrat and not a bitter, hateful person like yourself?

Just love the disconnect of a tea party academic

[bluehenbillk]

Thank you Virginia!!

Now hopefully the rest of the country wises up & looks at their own reps, from either party & if they're contributing to shat getting done in DC they should Cantor their incumbent as well!!

Yea, like that was an issue...

When Hollings left the governor's mansion in Columbia, before he was elected to the Senate, he cleaned the place out. The state police had to go to his new home with moving vans and a court order to get the stuff back.

[Cap'n Cat]

LMAO @ smug Conk fucks like Cantor losing!!!

LMAO @ whackos taking over for them!!


30 years of Democrat reign!

Proof that the brain turns to mush after even moderate exposure to MSNBC. This is the kind of raw sewage that tumbles from Wasserman-Schultz's mouth every day.

So between 1963 and 1966? That's a hell of a time frame. There were 2 governors in those years.

Besides, that's the story with every single governor, president, etc... It's mostly falsehoods spoken by partisan hacks that have nothing good to say about anyone that has a difference of opinion.

What's your point? I don't put much stock into gaffes or things like that. Politicians are humans, and with the amount of public speaking involved, slip ups are to be expected.

"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB/GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across the country."

Some more than others. I was on Sporcle the other day and it asked for the senators with the longest tenure in history. I think 18 of the top 25 were Dems.
