I love watching repukes eat their young.

2. He actually has 2 primary opponents. This one got media visibility.

The other one seems more loony, if possible. (not posting his URL. ).

And both are guided by their Christian faith (I wonder why they would say that).

Amusing to see how much he has tried to be friendly with them and is hated by them.

3. cantor is a form of infectious snot

i posted this on an earlier thread:

Where to start?

from: http://nationalreview.com/article/367690/eric-cantors-challenger-right-betsy-woodruff

"He chairs the department of economics and business at Randolph-Macon College and heads its BB&T Moral Foundations of Capitalism program. The funding for the program came from John Allison, the former CEO of BB&T (a financial-services company) who now heads the Cato Institute. The two share an affinity for Ayn Rand: Allison is a major supporter of the Ayn Rand Institute, and Brat co-authored a paper titled “An Analysis of the Moral Foundations in Ayn Rand.” Brat says that while he isn’t a Randian, he has been influenced by Atlas Shrugged and appreciates Rand’s case for human freedom and free markets.

His academic background isn’t all economics, though. Brat got a business degree from Hope College in Holland, Mich., then went to Princeton seminary. Before deciding to focus on economics, he wanted to be a professor of systematic theology and cites John Calvin, Karl Barth, and Reinhold Niebuhr as influences."

Coo-coo, coo-coo....

The morality of Ayn Rand and Calvinism: "let us worship the golden calf, because we are pre-destined, infallibly, and irrevocably for our wealth to come to us".

And as vile as Eric Cantor is, he deserves opposition and annoyance. Whatever this Brat is as a person, mechanically how would his substitution alter anything in the government? Of course, the real fortuitous blessing would be that a Democratic candidate wins the congressional vote in the district; although i scry none of this in the crystal ball, or in the tea leaves of the cup.

====================
a theological primer on the flower of Calvinism:

T.U.L.I.P.

Total Depravity (also known as Total Inability and Original Sin)
Unconditional Election
Limited Atonement (also known as Particular Atonement)
Irresistible Grace
Perseverance of the Saints (also known as Once Saved Always Saved)

Would it not be hilarious for Stephen Colbert to appear on Saturday Night Live portraying Cantor? As important as Cantor is in Congress, he is not that well known to the public. He begs to be lampooned. I have always wondered, that the opening sketch when it is a political current event is so well done, there is not more political sketches on the programme? But i guess, they conclude it is safer and more profitable to do lame sophomoric, toilet bits.
