Cantor Out? Hahaha
Amnesty for everyone! DREAMers unite! Immigration "reform" is the way to go!
Oh yeah, and the Tea Party is dead:
Oh yeah, and the Tea Party is dead:
- House Majority Leader Eric Cantor became the first person in American history to lose his primary while holding that position. He lost Tuesday night to a poorly-funded GOP opponent in the biggest electoral stunner in several cycles.
College professor David Brat defeated Cantor, 56 percent to 44 percent, with 80 percent of precincts reporting, according to The Associated Press.
Brat was outspent 14-1 and still beat the #2 republican in the nation, mostly because Cantor flirted with passing Obama's amnesty-dressed-up-as-reform package. Cantor was primaried out, an unheard of occurrence for a House Majority Leader.
The RINO's on the Right just got a wake-up call, along with much of the political establishment on both sides of the aisle - Obama is poison and even seeming to work with him might lead to electoral doom.

When they say that people are fed up and revolution is in the air, they really aren't kidding.
When you have a president and his secretary of state watching Americans die in Benghazi, and then turn around and trade five terrorists for a deserter while trading missiles that killed SEALS, you kind of piss people off.
These weak and un-American socialist politicians as well as those RINO assholes that work with them are going to suffer for their crimes, one way or another.
You people in northern states don't know what bad is with the current level of illegal immigration, and DHS releasing thousands of known criminals. Try living in South Texas. It's starting to get scary down here.
A concerned Texan.
This is America's very last chance to save itself...
Let's hope Rand Paul runs for President. We need solid conservatives to resurrect the USA!
I will vote for Oberweis for US Senate but refuse to vote for Raunner or Quinn.
Proof that they just don't get it. Republicans or Democrats they all need to be voted out and replaced by people who listen to the majority of Americans not the special interest groups.
Doom the Dreamers. We can't sustain these Dreamers. Check out what's happening in Nogales, Arizona...some 60,000 illegal immigrant children have 'stolen' into this country...they threw food the US gave them in the trash and asked for Burritos....pretty cheeky when they've had nothing much to eat since their big drive to cross the US border. They get free food, welfare, housing and we pay for it. How is this being approved? Where are there parents and loved ones.
If all those children flooding the border are "just here to work", someone should tell their "parents" about our child labor laws
oh the libs think they are gonna take the house back, LMFAO
Paul Ryan just saw his amnesty scheme go down the tubes.
Oh the great black dad child army scheme, "enlist" for three years for just a green card? Gone.
Now this might spell relief for Texas Arizona new Mexico borders as the borders will get the the aid they need
Mexifornia unfortunately is a lost cause.
Oh liberal democratic scum.. Here we come!!!
Yo Time is up NOW!
Better ballots than bullets.
I was starting to get worried.
Great news - sounds like people in his district have a brain - AND USED IT.
Hopefully more RINOs will be replaced by those who want to see real reform and conservative values brought back to this country.
We should be doing the same thing here in Illinois. (with both party incumbents)
Good

Don't vote and you vote for Governor Potatoehead. Don't you get that?
Tea Partiers aren't putting the "Mission Accomplished" banner out yet are they? One victory, there's a lot of work ahead of us. I hope the immigration nonsense gets a better look now. NO! Damn it! NO!
The comments on THE HILL are beautiful. You can almost hear liberals heads exploding through your computer
We need that kind of change in this state.
They don't get it. They are all too worried about keeping their power and not doing what is good for America. The democrats are famous for this....Like giving away things for free to get the votes. All this does is destroy America slowly. They are all too worried about themselves and Cantor did the same thing. He was a hell of a lot better than any Democrat, but he thumbed his nose at true conservatives. Obama is a danger to anyone running so stay far away from his adjenda.
Flashback:
U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez has made more than $420,000 on real estate deals
Many are done with campaign contributors
http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2008-12-08/news/chi-gutierrez_newdec08_1_gutierrez-letter-real-estate-rep-luis-gutierrez
Cantor's buddy is pissed today
That would never happen here. Especially in Shitcago where the taxpayer loves to vote democrat.
On the state and local level, we need to dump Durbin. It would be doubly great to dump Gutierrez, but his Congressional district is too gerrymandered, so Durbin "the Dreamer" needs to be the target.
We do not need millions of illegals sponging off of the American taxpayer.
This is good.
What we have had is essentially one political party in D.C.
Republicans and Democrats there have far more in common with each other then they do the people they were sent there to represent.
That became pretty evident during the financial meltdown in '08 and thus the Tea Party evolved in the true American spirit.
Ever since, republicrats have been doing everything in their power to stay in power.
Hopefully, this next election is going to make 2010 look like warm-up.
A lot of people need to go in D.C.
Just when its Hillarys turn the voters have turned on the democrat party. Lol
Hopefully, this is just the beginning.
So Cantor outspent his opponent 14 to 1 and still lost.
Maybe Rahm Emanuel ought not be so confident with his $7 Million warchest, either.
Illinois : Dump the incumbents save Illinois and Chicago.
Durbin be big Dreamer along with being seriously overweight...
Does this mean more VRI?
AMF!
Too bad Linda Gramnesty did not get knocked out as well. SC, of all places, should have done the right thing. Too bad one guy calls the shots in that state.
Hope and change is a comin
Rand Paul is a RINO. He endorses RINO Republicans and supports amnesty. Wake Up!

If he loses, his good friend Luis Guttierez can ask Rahm or Rauner to get him a job. He'll be ok.
Contribute to his Dem. opponent. Teach these cocksuckers a lesson.

eh, obviously you fail to understand that "real" reform according to these people includes:
gutting your tax writeoffs,
putting government employees on the street where they will then collect government handouts,
destroying protections for workers at their jobs,
destroy EPA regulations so that the rich can continue to destroy and pollute the only planet we have to inhabit,
make the middle class disappear even faster by declaring either you're a "job creator" or you're slave labor to that job.
You know these are the guidelines by which these people live don't you? Their claims of "smaller government" mean gutting or eliminating services that result in putting more people on public assistance. And if you somehow believe that "it forces them to get new jobs" somehow equates to them making the same income as they were before you're sadly mistaken. Putting people out of work gives the "job creators" the upper hand and let's THEM dictate wages to those begging for work.
Think again about the world you think these people are going to give you, because putting people out of work, killing regulations that protect workers and the environment and giving free reign to the corporate world to dictate how this country runs is the LAST thing that will benefit the 99% as a whole.
But then again, you're obviously stupid enough to believe all their bullshit in the first place so that may just sound great to you, doesn't it?
What I wonder is how these kids were able to make the trek from Central America to the USA. Mexico does not let thousands of foreigners into their country let alone march through the entire country.
It's surprising that Cantor lost but really, it shouldn't be. 'We The People' are fed-fucking-up with the bullshit from entrenched 'professional' politicians.
Naturally it's a shock to these 'pros', they think the treasonous NY Times being nice to them is more important than what the 'stupid voters' back home want. In Cantor's case he wasn't doing, saying, or acting like he cared. He's been drifting left the last couple years making nice-nice to Obama and other libtard Dem pols.
Time for them to start sweating. They did it to themselves.
GOd Bless Virginia.
Many democrats become millionaires after elected to office , most republicans wealthy before entering office .
More news on Illinois elected official's shenanigans. democrat state representative derrick smith was convicted of bribery for accepting $7,000 in cash money in exchange for a promise of writing a letter of support for a day care operator’s bid for $50,000 state grant. He was acquitted of belonging to a corrupt organization doing business as (d.b.a.) the Illinois democratic party. Have you noticed the areas with the highest unemployment have the most private residence based day care. The publically financed day care service providers almost outnumber the weeds in all those nearby vacant lots. What do unemployed people do all day that the state sanctioned providers must babysit, feed and house their litters on the public dime?
Its a shame because the top guy michael madigan in this corrupt organization was counting on Rep smith’s vote to make the “temporary” income tax hike permanent. The political party against the middle class failed to secure the votes to transfer the max in documented income in the form of an income tax to Springfield prior to the upcoming elections.
When democrat madigan must rely on a tarnished public servant soon to be convicted criminal to “legally steal” via legislation resident's earned personal income, what can be said of this snake called madigan? Here is a thought. Birds of a feather flock together. Using their office violating the public trust seems to be a reoccurring theme. Is there a pattern here among those who use their public office to enhance their personal wealth with similar off the books kinda stuff. Do you think rep smith was going to declare his $7,000.00 “income” as required by law and subject it to that “temporary tax”.
lisa madigan will not be entertained with the thought of investigating her father’s party- sanctioned routine customary corruption. Remember that smith assured speaker madigan his vote against Illinois’s documented income producers. smith guaranteed speaker madigan his support of permanently codifying this increase of punitive confiscation on Illinois family’s take home living wages.
I'm reading about Cantor's downfall being immigration, but didn't he also bristle at the Snowden-NSA disclosures? -- Cantor was, like most in the leadership, angry that NSA's wide-ranging surveillance of every American was disclosed, not about the fact that NSA is engaging in this criminal behavior.
Seems to me just as likely that the voters struck him down for that as on immigration. Of course, Democrats in leadership are just as much in favor of the surveillance state as folks like Mr. Cantor -- focusing on their differences on immigration is so much more pleasingly partisan -- you'd hate to think that plain old ordinary folks have rejected the collective wisdom of their leaders about how being watched constantly is Good.
Or maybe it was Cantor's votes on the bank bailouts. That was an area of bipartisan cooperation. In fact, Bush began bailing out the banks; Obama merely continued it. The people who destroyed our economy not only did not go to jail, they got bonuses -- and we got the foreclosure mess and the Great Recession which still isn't over. And the banks paid the government back, too -- by keeping credit card interest rates at 24% when the banks could borrow money for nothing. By charging us fees to cash a check or even make a deposit. Maybe the people in Virginia had that in mind, too.
But we don't emphasize that because all of our leaders agree we would NEVER want to inconvenience Big Business or send any executives to jail. Maybe we can fine a bank a billion or two; they'll just raise their consumer fees again and never miss a beat.
No, it has to be the illegals that were Cantor's downfall.
How in heck did the stupid Tea Partiers get caught up in hating illegals? Sure, some are crooks and drug dealers. There are crooks and drug dealers in every ethnic group.
But most of these so-called illegals came here for the same reasons that your grandparents or great-grandparents did -- for work, for freedom, for a better place to raise their families. They come here and work long hours at crappy jobs and earn $4 or $5 an hour without overtime or benefits and still send some home to the rest of the family. Such criminals!
Meanwhile, the people who employ them (rich people who want nannies but won't pay Social Security or unemployment taxes, the biggest corporations who want janitors or unskilled production line people) get away with breaking the law -- we would never send a corporate executive to jail! Heaven forbid! They lure up Jose and Maria to pluck chickens with those sweet $4 wages (depressing wages for the rest of us) and if ICE sweeps them away, Jose and Maria send Paco and Rosita from their same village.
Meanwhile, our teenagers can't get jobs -- because no one wants to pay them minimum wage. Why should anyone hire a high school student who will balk at working Saturday night when there are people willing to risk their lives to cross the desert to get $4 an hour?
Folks are nuts to blame the illegals for this. The ones who should take the fall are the big business tycoons who hire them -- illegally! -- and lobby against hikes in minimum wages they'll never pay anyway.
Wake up, SCC! There isn't a sliver of meaningful difference between the Big Business Republicans and the Big Government Democrats. We are just peons to them, economic or social units to be manipulated and exploited.
Any immigration laws should very specifically state that that citizenship will be denied, without appeal, to ALL CONVICTED FELONS, and to ALL CONVICTED of violent misdemeanors, and to all those convicted of driving while intoxicated.
There should be no situation whereby a drug dealer or robber or rapist automatically becomes an American Citizen with some waving of the Presidents wand.
NO CITIZENSHIP TO CRIMINALS!
Lets see the reaction in Congress to this stand.
And so it should anyone who works with Obama should be thrown under the bus they are scum who think they can put one over on the American people it's not so easy any more people are seeing just what kind of liars and commies are trying to take over our government don't let them do it or it will be the end of this country.
Register and VOTE!
FOP, PB&PA and IAFF should run a joint got out the vote drive.
Yeah, sure it was his immigration reform stance. Maybe not so much: http://aufc.3cdn.net/df62bab5a39cc3568d_eym6bn24d.pdf.
Maybe just nobody liked him.
Dump ALL Illinois Democrats, bring on Tea-Party Endorsed Candidates ONLY.
The Dems think they've got immunity from being put out of office. Gomer Pyle said it best; 'Surprise...Surprise...Surprise!!!'

Yo Tex, I feel for you but, I realize how bad it is. I pay attention to what is going on and it has been unacceptable and downright dangerous for years now. I can't help you though, Luis Gutierrez is my congressman and Dick Durbin is my senator and my voting against them, again, won't matter as usual. Senator Kirk, although better than ANY Illinois democrat is still weak on most important issues. I didn't care for him when he was a congressman and don't like him any better as a senator.
WBBM radio reporting now that South Texas authorities are likening the Honduran Children's Invasion to the sudden influx of "displaced" New Orleans residents after Hurricane Katrina -- as I recall, Houston and environs had to "absorb" over 100,000 new visitors almost overnight. I don't know how they pulled that one off without shutting off the street lights and collapsing.
Sometimes a buzz gets started -- it really appears that, whether true or false, most of Central America is panicking, sending chain-immigration "anchor babies" up here by the thousands before some perceived deadline.
I think that, once more, "disaster" is the word we are looking for.
Read Jean Raspail's "Camp Of The Saints." Free downloads at --
https://archive.org/details/CampOfTheSaints
It has come true. The West "lacks the moral fiber to simply shoot the invaders," as Raspail says, but instead fusses over providing them with sleeping mats and burritos. Italy is getting the same assault, endless masses of desperate aliens paddling bathtubs, oil drums, anything, who constantly need to be "rescued from the ocean" and given food, water, medical treatment to give them the strength to climb the wire fence and disappear into the interior, never to leave...
Oh -- "Conservatives" can't save us. They see the invaders as potential voters, nothing more, and busily form "coalitions" with their leaders and representatives, so as not to be tagged with the dreaded, world-stopping appellation of "racist."
...and this whole thing is undergoing a reductio ad absurdum, being spun and trivialized by the media as though it were a dispute between the states of Texas and Arizona...

Bad? Ha. City buses here in Chicago roll along carrying "VISIT MEXICO" tourism placards on their sides. Anyone looking out their window in our 025 police district can plainly see that there is no need -- Mexico has come here, unbidden. One needs only to walk across the street to purchase elotes and chili-covered pineapple slices from the street vendors -- while keeping a sharp eye over one's shoulder that one's aluminum downspouts are not being torn off your house and carted away by by the once-every-five-minutes, endlessly patrolling scrap metal trucks...

I'm sure the "main stream media" is calling this a fluke, but this is what happens when the tax paying, "gun nut", individual votes.
You know how this is or will be portrayed.

How do you think rauner is going to balance the budget of the state and city? That's right, by putting you in a 401k. I have yet to see anyone on this blog that is speaking up for the great leadership the Quinn has exhibited, but he's the lesser of two evils. You're talking up a guy in Rauner that has yet to even come up with a plan for the pension debacle. He keeps mentioning how he's going to fix the pension problem, well, what's his plan? If he had a legitimate pension fix that was going to save our pensions, I'd be all for him. Say what you will about Governor Potatohead, but I have never had the inclination to think that he was trying to take away our pensions. With Rauner failing to lay out his plan, he either doesn't have one, or is waiting to get elected to royally screw us. Not good either way.
To 11:12.
That is why there is a Tea Party. They aren't big business republicans. I would take you to task about those alleged $4 per hour wages. But we have millions of unemployed Americans and students that should be doing those jobs. They won't work for those wages! If you are hungry because the government cut off you free ride, you'd get busy plucking chickens and flipping burgers. Survival is a powerful motivator.
Find leaders that will lead and defend. vote for them because the end is near. USA
There was 12% turnout. 12%. Which means the winner got 6.1% of the registered vote. 6.1%.

Remember when Oberwies was caught with employing illegal workers?
Did it ever occur to anyone that there was a crossover vote to get Cantor out?
The demos probably tried it and this time it worked mainly because there isn't as much vote corruption there.
Also, the line now is that the republicans voted him out because he is Jewish. Typical pile on tactic.

You're right!! The folks at the top laugh as they see and hear Americans fight over stupid labels. A multi-millionaire or billionaire doesn't care about your political affiliation. They'll make contributions to everyone so as to ensure their goals become policy.
The farmers in the southern states are the biggest employees of illegals. The giant food plants in Nebraska,Kansas and other states employ illegals too. The state of Texas will have had a republican governor for twenty consecutive years at the conclusion of Perry's term. Bush went to serve two terms as president. Your U.S. senators are republican along with most of your congressional delegation. You don't get to play both sides of the aisle then complain when everything falls apart. Ask the farmers of Mississippi, Alabama,and Georgia what happened when the state legislatures passed laws that scared the illegals away. Their crops rotted in the field. Now their backtracking to bring the illegals back to work in the field. Wake up Americans!! We're being played like a fiddle.

How do you come to that conclusion? You have NO idea if that is even true.
PLUS - Rauner has already said he is NOT taking a salary or pension.
You rather vote for Quinn who has had his snout at the public trough for years.
Wake up - you are so brainwashed that you don't realize getting rid of the incumbent is the right thing to do.
Your pension? Are you SO clueless that you don't see Illinois bankrupt? You worry about Rauner, wait til your incumbent buddies drive the state to bankruptcy and then you'll take 10 cents on the dollar for your "pension" because that's all that's left in assets - and with the bankruptcy ALL contracts get negotiated from scratch and anything "written into the Constitution" is NULL and VOID.
You get what the Federal Bankruptcy court decides is fair - AFTER all the other creditors in line ahead of you get theirs.

You guys should not be talking about something you know nothing about. A simple fact is under federal law, a STATE cannot file bankruptcy,plain and simple. Cities can,but not states.
