House Majority Leader Eric Cantor lost his Republican primary election to a Tea Party newcomer today. A great victory for Conservatives over the DC establishment Boehner Republicans. RNC Chairman Priebus had no comment as he headed into the men's room to puke his guts out.

Cantor outspent Brat 22 to 1. Spending over 5 MILLION dollars to Brat's $ 100K and change.

I laugh at those who try to claim the GOP are the ones who try to buy elections, and that BIG $ donors rule our country.

Not so fast, folks !

It's historic. No House Majority Leader of either party has ever lost their primary election in the entire history of the country.

Brat campaigned for renewed fiscal responsibility, and against siding with Democrats on immigration reform. It's a massive wake-up call to the GOP establishment.

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.

Quote:
Fall of an Apparatchik by Paul Krugman

Cantor’s loss is part of a process that could well unravel movement conservatism as we know it.

Movement conservatism — as distinct from just plain conservatism, which has always been a part of the landscape and always will be — is a distinct feature of modern American politics. It dates, more or less, back to the 1970s, when conservatives, with lots of money from the likes of Richard Mellon Scaife, set about building an institutional infrastructure of think tanks, pressure groups, captive media, etc.. At first this infrastructure mainly provided backing to right-thinking (in both senses) politicians. But eventually it provided a career path for up and coming conservatives.

In particular, being a movement conservative in good standing meant considerable career safety: even if you or the politician you worked for lost an election, there were jobs to be had at think tanks (e.g. Rick Santorum heading up the “America’s enemies” program at a Scaife-backed think tank), media gigs (two Bush speechwriters writing columns for the Washington Post, not to mention the gaggle at the WSJ and Fox News), and so on.

In other words, being a hard line conservative, which to be fair involved some career risks back in the 60s and into the 70s, became a safe choice; you could count on powerful backing, and if not favored by fortune, you could fall back on wingnut welfare.

And Eric Cantor, who got into politics long after the Reagan revolution and for the most part made his career post Gingrich, came across very much as a movement conservative apparatchik. He took very hard line stances, but never seemed especially passionate; he was, arguably, basically a careerist, and as such was fairly typical.

Maybe that’s what the primary voters sensed.

Whatever the reason, it turns out that being a movement conservative apparatchik is no longer a safe career choice. This is a very big deal. Conservatives, as I said, will always be with us. But the structure that shaped them into a cohesive movement is now starting to unravel, at a time when movement progressivism — which is much less cohesive and much less lucrative, but nonetheless now exists in a way it didn’t 15 years ago — is on the rise.

Meanwhile, don’t cry for Eric Cantor.

What's more likely?

Tea Party has big gains in November in the House and Senate, takes over the Party Leadership, and acts swiftly on crimes committed by Obama and Holder ... or

Occam's Razor says the latter.

Agreed. I wish I could help, but my Congressman is Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She's been unbeatable in this district for a long time. It would be so sweet to see that lying psycho bitch taken out, but the Broward County Republican Party has no clue and no candidate to even give her a run for her money. I have to live with that.

Quoted:

This piece was originally published the weekend before Eric Cantor's primary defeat.

Former congressman Ben Jones (D-Ga.), better known as "Cooter" from Dukes of Hazzard, has a plan to knock Eric Cantor out of the House. He's urging his fellow Democrats to cross over and vote for a tea party-backed candidate in Virginia's primary election.

Cooter, who ran against Cantor in 2002, has penned an open letter calling upon Democrats in his former Virginia district to vote in the open primary next Tuesday for tea party opponent Dave Brat in order to defeat U.S. House Majority Leader Cantor.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/06/ben-cooter-jones_n_5463196.ht
ml

Which would explain why the polls had it so so very wrong: lots of people voted against Cantor who were not considered likely voters by the pollsters.

Sorry guys, this wasn't a pro-TP vote as much as an anti-Cantor vote. By accounts from both sides, the man is a self-serving douche.

Looking forward to November to see how this plays out.

Everybody Hates Eric Cantor: A Roundup

A fact that keeps popping up in stories about the shocking defeat of Eric Cantor is that, apparently, everybody hated him. Everybody. “Cantor was never well liked,” reports Jon Ward, “especially by conservatives, who considered him a fraud.” It’s certainly true that conservatives detested Cantor, and not just those who clashed with him professionally. Erick Erickson reports that the loathing extended well into Cantor’s professional network:

One conservative recently told me that Cantor’s staff were the “biggest bunch of a**holes on the Hill.” An establishment consultant who backed Cantor actually agreed with this assessment. That attitude moved with Cantor staffers to K Street, the NRSC, and elsewhere generating ill will toward them and Cantor. Many of them were perceived to still be assisting Cantor in other capacities. After Cantor’s loss tonight, I got a high volume of emails from excited conservatives, but also more than a handful of emails from those with establishment Republican leanings all expressing variations on “good riddance.”

[Note Jongs: the preceding paragraph is a direct quote from Erik Erickson.]

Yet Cantor hate appears to be more than a mere intra-Republican phenomenon. It stretches far and wide. The Obama administration regarded him with a special loathing. (“Behind the scenes, aides would describe Cantor as an opportunist or devoid of substance and only out to antagonize the president and whip up tea party support for his own gain.”) Jewish Democrats found him “a supremely annoying figure.”

Anywhere professional politicians gathered last night, the Cantor news led to spontaneous, Berlin Wall–type rejoicing. “An informal dinner party at the Georgetown apartment of Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, the Democratic leader,” reports the New York Times, “turned into a celebration.” At a conservative dinner party, reports BuzzFeed, “Bozell described the group’s mood as ‘ebullient.’”

A new poll of Cantor’s district finds that Cantor’s own constituents despised him, disapproving of his performance by a 63-30 margin.

So the ranks of Cantor haters include tea party Republicans, mainstream Republicans, all Democrats, Jewish Democrats in particular, and Cantor’s neighbors. That’s everybody, right? Anybody left? Apparently, the remaining demographic slice still loyal to the soon-to-be-former majority leader is Jewish Republicans. Alex Burns reports that Matt Brooks, head of the Republican Jewish Coalition — “coalition” might be overstating things; really more of a Republican Jewish guy — is appropriately devastated at the loss, calling the upset “one of those incredible, evil twists of fate that just changed the potential course of history.”

Somebody has to weep for Cantor.

You guys know it was an open primary, right? There was a big grassroots effort amongst the local Dems, to help Brat beat Cantor in the primary - but they're all voting against him in November.

Its not exactly the big Tea Party victory you're wishing it was. Come November - I may be proven wrong - but that's a ways off, and someone that hard right is going to have a tougher time in the generals.

Shadenfreude aside, and dear me is there plenty...

I find myself somewhat concerned that a large part of the GOPs nonsupport of Canton is that we wasn't vile, inhumane, or crazy ENOUGH for them.
And that, being that they fully acknowledge at this point what a scumbag he is, says a whole lot of awful about what the rest of em are.

Oh, and not to mention this punk they did shove up there is a Randroid, worshipping a hypocritical serial killer groupie who herself was all sloppy over a cretin who murdered kids for fun and held him up as an exemplar of perfection.

Hey - I already posted that link way up the thread! But our discerning non-partisan wise man Joongs won't accept anything from Cooter.

Yeah, I admit it. I am loving the news today! Can't get enough of it.

Interesting that the turnout for Cantor's district was over 65000, compared to the last primary in an non-pres year that had about 47000. A lot more people voted this time. But apparently the higher turnout did not come from democratic areas. (I lost the link to the article where I read this, but I figure a more detailed analysis will be coming out of Fivethirtyeight or electoralvote.com, so I'm waiting on them.)

Most conservatives hate Cantor because he insists on increasing spending, increasing the debt, increasing the deficit, and the Tea Party Patriots want the opposite of that. The idea of "Cantor votes conservative" sounds like it came from some libtard - I'd need to check the facts to see if his actual votes are conservative, but his campaign and sleazy backroom bargains are the antithesis of conservative.

Your populist roots are showing.

Corporations had a good deal going: they bankrolled Republicans who talked cultural populism during campaigns, but more or less ignored all that and focused on tax cuts and deregulation after the polls closed. Eric Cantor fit that profile perfectly.

But now the big money has lost control; the base is demanding politicians who don’t just talk the crazy populist talk, but walk the crazy populist walk. Corporations are in shock.

Cantor was a powerful ally of business big and small, from giants like Boeing to the many independently owned manufacturers and wholesalers that rely on the federal government for financial support. www.nytimes.com/2014/06/15/business/for-businesses-and-the-gop-a-canto

Texas was filling up with illegals when George Bush was Governor. Didn't stop when he was President, either. Bush might be Republican, although I don't hear any Texas Republicans claiming him as one of them. (Something bad must have happened to Bush after he left office. Before he left, he was truly loved in Texas.) Personally I am for deporting people hiring illegals . . . or executing the employers of illegals. (I know some employers I like to see dead for hiring illegals.) But, I think, neither Republican nor Democratic politicians have the guts to solve the problem in the most straight forward manner.

Back in '05, I believe, or maybe '06, W had 5 or so radio talk show hosts to the White House. He wanted to 'connect' with what these guys were hearing from their callers, or some such. Neil Boortz, Sean Hannity, maybe Mike Gallagher ? I believe were there. Limbaugh wasn't in the group, as I recall. And while the specifics were off the record, Boortz did let slip one interesting aspect of the meeting. On the issue of illegal immigration, which at the time was front and centre of what people were most concerned over, Bush was taken aback at that info.

He had no idea.

And it showed, when he went right ahead and tried , with the GOP, to plow through the 'comprehensive ' illegal immigration bill, chock full of pork and goodies, but doing very little to actually SOLVE THE GORRAM PROBLEM!

That, imo, was the genesis of what would later become the TEA party movement, which is essentially the citizens voicing anger and frustration over elected officials NOT LISTENING to what the people are saying.

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.

Quote:
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.

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.
