Cantor battling Tea Party-backed challenger, 'amnesty' accusations in primary
Fox News ^ | June 10 2014 | Fox News

Now it’s House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s turn to try and fend off a Tea Party-backed challenger.

The Virginia Republican congressman is facing an aggressive Republican primary opponent in Tuesday's election who has latched onto the increasingly hot-button issue of immigration to batter the incumbent GOP leader.

Dave Brat, an unheralded economics professor and novice politician, is accusing the seven-term Virginia congressman of supporting immigration legislation that would give “amnesty” to millions of people living illegally in the United States. And he has more recently argued that Cantor’s support for legal status for children who have illegally entered the country has fueled the problem of children from Central America pouring across the southern border, creating a humanitarian crisis.

"Once you announced that kids are welcome, they're going to head in," Brat told Breitbart News on Sunday.

Hope he beats Cantor. Cantor has become a RINO.

Anyone else notice how the lesser evil crows vanishes on the days these things comes to light and then return with the same old ‘vote RINO no matter what crap after the initial anger dies down?

More politics as usual.

You know what's up for grabs in the 2014 elections? How about our free constitutional republic? How about the Constitution itself? Obama is unflinchingly violating and ignoring and trying to usurp the authority fo the Constitution as the Law of the Land and the guardian of our God-given freedoms.

The Tea Party & the Right better get on board against our common enemy, not immigrants, but the $4 trillion government and the one at the helm steering us straight into a fatal, Constitution-destroying Marxist iceberg.

The Right needs to elect those who are ready, willing, and able to to take down big government and Obama's silent but deadly coup-d'etat.

Norm....it takes time to distribute those talking points! We can’t expect the cringe, cower, and capitulate crowd to be ready to obfuscate at a moments notice.

They used to when the PDS wars were in full swing. It was mere seconds between her name mentioned and Pissant’s spiritual brethren spamming every thread with leftist approved talking points.

I just find it ‘odd’ that the once large and screaming ‘lesser evil’ crowd is now reduced to a handful of annoying and scarce, but still dangerously effective collection of leftist spin doctors.

Pretty bad thanks to no opposition from the opposition party that some people willingly brought on us. Why do you ask?

You know it’s funny. Here we are on a thread about a RINO lesser evil openly siding with obama and you are defending RINOs who side with Obama over conservatives. And trying to excuse the people that made it possible in the first place.

Why are you on a conservative website?

I am no supporter of Cantor. He is part of the Washington establishment, and part of the problem.

They don't understand that we are not trying to make Washington work better, we need to have Washington stick to their constitutionally assigned duties and nothing else.

Against Obama, I would have voted for just about anyone. My conscious is clear, though my pain for our nation is great.

Oh the operatives are still here. They’ve just changed tactics. I think a significant number are found in the “despondency” crowd.
