I live in the 7th district. Cantor was for amnesty before he was against it or vice versa - we just can’t keep track of his position on this. But in addition, he’s arrogant and out of touch with his constituents. He holds fake town hall meetings and in my view has real disdain for conservatives. Somehow he’s become a multi millionaire during his time in congress. He’s voted to increase the debts ceiling many times and also voted to increase spending. I could go on and on about this guy. He helped Boehner remove conservatives from key committee assignments and has tried to remove conservatives from Republican Party positions around the state.
There’s only one conservative in this race and it is not Eric Cantor. I’m voting for Dave Brat in the June 10th primary.
I have often seen Cantor interviewed on CNBC, and have come to the conclusion that he is a toady for business interests. Please do not take this in the wrong way. I watch CNBC, because I am up to my eye-balls in the market. I am certainly not anti-business. But let us face it, many high up in Corporate management, in America today, suffer from a severe form of tunnel vision, and are virtually unable to see beyond what they perceive as their interest over the next few quarters.
No one is more supportive of Capitalist values than I; but stupidity is stupidity, not a prescription for the sort of progress any well intentioned person should desire. In the long-run, a "Liberal" immigration policy will sound the death knell for American business interests.
