I drive across the state a few times a year and every time I'm on 295 headed West/North I see a sign regarding Eric Cantor. This time it reads Cantor Lies. Cantors not my favorite but what's the deal? Is it a Dem or an unhappy Tea Party type?

Sounds pretty accurate. Why denigrate?
ETA: perhaps you aren't suggesting those that dislike Cantor are just bitter. Will you vote Cantor over Bratt? |

View Quote The primary is in four days and I know very little about Brat... I saw Cantor at the recent Greek Festival in Richmond and I must admit that I dislike him and for some reason have an instinctive dislike of him, he just rubs me wrong... Is Brat a decent man? I'm looking for a fiscal conservative and a person that's compassionate but a conservative on social issues. I don't give a crap about someone else's opinion on abortion at this point, I have my personal opinion but the topic has been decided by the Supreme Court. |

He is an economist and very conservative. |

I had an opportunity to meet Dave Brat Wednesday evening at the Dominion country club, and have to admit he's a pretty straight shooter.
It turns out that he was on the economic board for Kain AND McDonnell in an advisory role only. He's a conservative from the get go despite Cantor's negative ad campaign to the contrary. IMO, Cantor is a corrupt RINO who would say anything to keep his sorry ass in office. He's had his run, it's time for some fresh air. ETA: Brat DID return his VDCL survey and he's pro 2a. Apparently Cantor did not return his survey. |

I am voting against Cantor. I am not sure about Brat but believe he is as good and probably better than Cantor on the 2nd. I did not save his response to my contact after the sandy hook tragedy, but he[Cantor] would have sold us out, because we have to do something or something like that. He is bought and paid for by big corporations. He is all about us being the global police force and has no desire to pay for it.
He must be nervous because he is spending a damn fortune on mailings and ads. |

Ask yourself when was the last time Cantor did anything for his district? Cantor has his eyes on the Speaker of the House spot, he could care less about central VA.

So, as usual, Cantor had time to roll up in his 3 SUVs at the Greek Festival and make a scene, but couldn't be bothered to return his VCDL survey. I've been bombarded by pro-Cantor mailings, including from the NRA-ILA. Do not care. Voting for Brat. |

Sign is Mechanicsville TEa party and very true. Cantor is destroying this county just the same as Obama he is just taking a longer time to do it. This is the best chance we have had to get rid of Cantor and Dave Brat is a the man to replace him.

On 33 between mineral and short pump there are a lot of large signs that are anti cantor, all different and are pretty good.

Cantor is pro amnesty.
So pro he's gotten a dem to help cover it up. |

Thanks guys, Brat it is. Worst case scenario is that he doesn't pan out over the next couple of years. Despite a great deal of reading there's little information about his "political" position on abortion.
Matt- my apologies for going off topic in your thread... |

People get frustrated and take a chance with someone else. |

I will certainly do more research on Brat, but like this thread reads he seems much better than Cantor. Cantor is the quintessential politician and a helluva a prick. It is disturbing that the NRA gives him an A+. but he won't even bother to respond to the VCDL (Bratt did). The ugly politics is deep in the Repubs and sadly the NRA too.

As far as lawn signs and bumper stickers, I'd say Cantor has only a slight edge, and I live and work in the suit-and-tie republican part of his district where his base resides. Nonetheless ... my prediction is that Cantor wins with about 60%. |

View Quote Better start salting that thing down and start the Webber. I'm happy to see Cantor go, myself, and have become so dispirited by the process I've adopted an across the board "vote out the incumbent." I won't be sorry to no longer see Cantor with his head all the way up Bohner's ass all the time, either. |

Nice, while I don't know the repercussions of Va losing such a power republican in the House, Cantor always seemed like a dickbag weasel willing to sell us out. At least that is the vibe I got anytime I heard him on TV.
Off topic, God I'm already tired of the Damn Mark Warner commercials. It's all I've been so awesome and bi partisan. To bad that cocksucker is in for life. |

Been a while since I've been around (real life has been an utter bitch), but thank god Cantor is on his way out. Remembered yesterday around 2pm that I needed to vote, Brat it was. Rather funny seeing Cantor's defeat as front page news over on BBC.
