Top Jeb Bush Adviser: Cantor Didn't Lose Because of Amnesty
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | June 14, 2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 06/14/2014 10:30:09 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Top Jeb Bush adviser Mike Murphy, who did not even pay attention to Dave Brat's campaign like Breitbart News did, has falsely been claiming that Cantor's embrace of amnesty for illegal immigrants was not the reason he lost last Tuesday.

Liberal writer Mickey Kaus had enough of Murphy's nonsense and slammed him on Twitter on Friday evening. Kaus became Brat's de facto press secretary and top advocate on Twitter in the last months of the campaign because Kaus, like Brat, opposes amnesty for illegal immigrants because it would hurt American workers. He mentioned to Murphy that talk radio host Laura Ingraham turned out 600 people at a midweek rally that was "all about amnesty." Even Mort Zuckerman and Eleanor Clift have said there is "no doubt" that Cantor lost his race because of the amnesty/illegal immigration issue.

Breitbart News reporter Michael Patrick Leahy covered that event in which Brat and Ingraham blasted Cantor for his embrace of amnesty. Contrary to what Murphy believes or perhaps stereotypically thinks of voters in Virginia's seventh congressional district, people can listen to talk radio -- and Ingraham's show -- on the Internet. That's how Dodger fans, for instance, can listen to Vin Scully calling Dodger games on the radio and wishing listeners a "pleasant good evening" on the East Coast, even though east coast radio stations obviously do not carry Dodgers radio broadcasts....

If 12% of VA7 are anti-amnesty Brat gets all of them and wins.

Cantor lost because he didn’t spend enough money on his campaign. Yup.

Which tells you exactly why he is Jeb's "top adviser."

You're deluded. Outspent 50:1 Brat won +11 percent

Brat made it about Cantor's amnesty.

Cantor's amnesty mob missed their cue and stormed in chanting "what do want, immigration reform. when do we want it, now". Nice putsch Cantor.

It was about amnesty and nothing but amnesty. Amnesty LOST. Get it through your thick heads. Stop lying

Cantor lost because he didn’t buy his staff enough steaks.

Another GOP elitist moneygrubbing political campaign consultant telling the candidate “must get Hispanic vote....”.....blah, blah, blah....

He might as well go ahead and hire Karl Rove. Besides, Rand Paul has that “get Hispanic voter schtick” all wrapped up.

A REFRESHER COURSE IN LOSING----CANTOR DID IT MAGNIFICENTLY Cantor in 2013: "One of the great founding principles of our country was that children would not be punished for the mistakes of their parents. It is time to provide an opportunity for legal residence and citizenship for those who were brought to this country as children and who know no other home."

B/c no one believed that Constitutional fable, Cantor doubled down---he later offered a new explanation for why he supports granting amnesty to individuals brought into the country illegally as minors. It's “Biblical,” he said in a local radio interview.

That "revelation" offed the sucker but good. So much for Cantor's gulling the voters---endorsing a measure intended to dismantle US ntl security.

=================================================

Cantor stupidly believed the rest of us just fell of turnip truck---that we know nothing about the Dream Act except what he makes up.

THE FACTS ARE THESE---The Senate amnesty bill is dangerously flawed, and its glaring omissions WRT protecting US ntl security, cannot ever serve as the basis for useful legislation.

By legalizing illegal aliens w/out shoring up law enforcement, we hand an engraved invitation to global Third Worlders----all of 'em salivating to ride the US gravy train.....each separatist group conniving to achieve its hidden agenda.

Amnesty recklessly opens the door wide for illiterate, low-skilled aliens, born and bred in savage cultures, here to suck up US benefits and take jobs away from Americans.

Third Worlders may, in fact, contribute their labor to the US, but their loyalties are elsewhere----they have no intention of becoming Americanized....of participating as equals in American culture, revering our vast history, or preserving American values.

The Senate amnesty bill is a blueprint----it amply demonstrates that illegal separatist populations intend to usurp the US political system to advance their own hidden agenda.

================================================

The Senate "Amnesty" bill includes two “slush funds” amounting to $150 MILLION annually, replenish-able with eternal tax dollars for years to come....... earmarked for groups like the blood-thirsty La Raza.

One of the Congressman voting for this outrage should be charged w/ conflict of interest: Cong Julian Castro's mother is a La Raza stalwart.

LA RAZA TEACHING HATE-AMERICA WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS La Raza Studies do not even try to sugar-coat its anti-America agenda and its bloodthirsty plans to kill off Americans: Raza Studies textbook “Occupied America,” by Rodolfo Acuña, includes a violent and blood-curdling speech given by university professor Jose Angel Gutierrez: “We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is, if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him,” (pg. 323).

The following is taken directly from La Raza's Occupied America (pg. 167): “.......execute all white males over age 16,” (AKA the Plan of San Diego).

America-hating Raza Studies teach (1) violence, (2) undermining US ntl security, and, (3) the need for Mexico to "re-take seven states in the Southwest...in order to make the SW a Chicano nation. "

SCHOOL BOARD NUT CASES Adelita Grijalva is the woman on the Arizona school board pimping La Raza indoctrination programs in Tuscon schools. Adelita is all up in arms about Raza Studies getting tossed via the AZ state legislature's action...she is the daughter of Raul Grijalva (D-AZ-7).

Cong Raul Grijalva is one of Mexico’s most productive and loyal Fifth Column in the US Congress....aiding and abetting the latino criminal underworld, colluding to take back the SW, and loot and pillage the US treasury.

Raul and friend.

Cantor and friend.

Actually, Brat’s POPULIST way of being anti-Amnesty was ingenious. I’ve been fighting it on the demographics - if we really let in what will become 30,000,000 (at least) illegals, we become a one-party state (Reps won’t have a chance in elections, unless they become virtual clones to Democrats...and in that case we still lose), and we also will likely have to make Spanish an official language of the country. But that takes several decades to fully play out...so who cares (LOL).

But the populist approach is MUCH BETTER, because it’s today. The moment you give them a Green Card they are competing against Americans, for American jobs. Give out millions of them virtually all at once - all hell will break loose. And NO ONE can make a racism claim against this approach with credibility - it could be 30M Japanese, or Brits, and the result would be the same.

It was BRILLIANT and hopefully some of the other REPUBLICANS can learn from this.
