House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's (R-VA) campaign spent more money at one posh steakhouse before his shocking Tuesday primary defeat than his opponent Dave Brat spent on his whole campaign.
Cantor's campaign spent $124,177 at Bobby Van'S Grill and Steakhouse and $44,460 at Blt Steak for a total of $168,637.
According to Open Secrets, Cantor raised $5.4 million while Brat raised $206,663. While Cantor spent nearly all of his haul ($5.1 million), Brat spent $122,793 for his entire campaign, which was less than what Cantor's campaign spent at Bobby Van's alone ($124,177).[continued]

So if he treats his campaign coffers this cavalierly, you know he treats the taxpayers’ money like it grows on trees.
A fool and his money, etc, etc...
Typical career politician.
Yes!
Sobering.
Gee Eric, an eighth of a million bucks at one steakhouse?
Comforting to know the people’s house has been in the hands of such good stewards.
For what other job do people spend millions to get a job that pays thousands?
Yes, it does seem to be an insane quest doesn’t it?
For a good show, Hannity now interviewing Joe Carr and Chris McDaniel!
It must be heady living to be able to drop a $124,000.00 of free money at your favorite restaurant.
Talk about being good treatment, what a lifestyle.
Gee Eric, an eighth of a million bucks at one steakhouse?
Must of been some really big steaks.
Let them eat steak?
These socialists can all return the money they’ve plundered from the republic.

A really good illustration of the insanity that has become Washington.
If you sent money to his campaign, this is how he spent it.
How do you feel about that?
(Hint - have you considered anger?)
Check Cantor’s contributor list..is Van’ Steakhouse a donor?
Almost as bad as Jenny Beth Martin and what she pays herself out of the Tea Party Patriots donations.....(who by the way didn’t financially help Brat)
If not, they certainly should be.
That kinda money all by itself would keep some small mom and pop spoon’s open for a year.
Joe Carr is the real deal. He’s not just a a guy saying the right things, either. He’s a guy who wrote a heck of lot of good legislation in Tennessee and was a leader on every front.
He’s easily Tennessee’s strongest member of the legislature.
