This has to go down as a nearly 0bama-esque political turd in a punchbowl. Invading a loser's election night headquarters to present demands is pretty ham-handed; doing so while 0bama is bleating that immigration had nothing to do with it is pretty tin-eared; offering violence is absolutely politically tone-deaf.

At this point I'd guess that getting Cantor to push immigration "reform" in a lame-duck status pretty much went down the drain when the first punch was thrown. It's dead, Jim.

I didn't see Cantor's entire concession speech, but according to Megyn Kelly, he didn't even mention Dave Brat's name.

That probably means he didn't encourage his supporters to support Brat also.

No class. Top to bottom.

If you don’t vote you have no right to complain.

On Fox they are saying the radio host are strongly responsible for the loss.

I say, No, it was Drudge.

Drudge has had up pictures every day for quite a few days now of the invasion over the Southern border. It’s been very upsetting, the planned transforming of the US into a 3rd world country by the Obama admin, and conservatives not only don’t see the Republicans throwing themselves into stopping that, but Cantor was one of the faces of encouraging it.

That was why he lost.

I hope all kinds of wigs and bras were left on the floor.

That would have been fun to watch. And to deport.

“It most definitely reinforces the notion of why he lost!”

I just watched Cantor’s concession speech. It was among the worst I’ve ever seen. He had no clue his defeat could happen, he sounded drunk and looked like a deer in the headlights.

Yup, that’s been our Republican leadership.

>> Bad timing. It was all set up to come in after he won to show the need for him to support amnesty.

Theater. Part of the Putsch.

Can’t be mentioned enough: the Amnesty crowd is SCUM. Look at their tricks.

I would imagine that most don’t like the masses coming here and the diseases they are bringing-dem and republican. After all, I don’t think Americans want America to become a third world country-dem or republican.

Rinos need extinguishing.

The lack of aggressive stance against obimbo by the HOR is unacceptable.

America is being dismantled and the repub rino controlled house keeps writing checks.

A network of groups in various states.

casademaryland.org    casadevirginia.org     etc

IIRC there's a national umbrella group as well.

They are an illegal alien / amnesty group

Dig just a little into their leadership and associations and the commies come out of the woodwork.

Here's an old bookmark http://www.aim.org/special-report/casa-de-maryland-the-illegal-immigrants-acorn/#radical_connections

Thx. I googled “casa” and got Mexican restaurants.
