Some Mud for Cantor’s Eye
on June 13, 2012 at 1:01 am
If ever anyone needed to be removed from politics altogether, Eric Cantor is the one.
As most people don’t know (and his worshiper/supporters don’t care,) Cantor had a vested financial interest in the default of the Federal Government. If the default had occurred, Cantor would have made out handsomely. I know that the more stupid among us will continue to argue that Cantor (1.) suddenly developed an awareness of the dangers of too much debt, after ignoring the debt all through the Reign of Error, and (2.) was only voting his conscience, but don’t you believe that for a second. This guy is a predator, and he was homed in on the kill.
I’ll spare you the many other examples of Cantor’s selfishness, and his invariable stupidity, because you’re already aware of them. Sure, you and I understand the guy for who and what he is, but way too many of his constituents don’t seem to get it yet.
Mudcat Saunders aims to change all that, and Mudcat has been really, really good at getting rid of Rushpubliscums in Dixie. If he can get rid of just one more, he’s my new hero forever.
Famed southern Democratic operative Dave “Mudcat” Saunders has signed up to take on a new target: House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.
In a Tuesday interview with The Daily Caller, Saunders — the colorful consultant who has worked for southern Democrats like Jim Webb, Mark Warner and John Edwards — confirmed that he’s working for Democratic congressional candidate Wayne Powell, a retired Army colonel challenging Cantor for his U.S. House seat in Virginia.
“We’re going national,” Saunders told TheDC of the Powell campaign. “And we’re going to be doing a lot of national shows.”
The campaign’s message against Cantor? “He screwed us, and us is pissed.”
“What he has done is sold out the 7th District and his country so that he could become majority leader and continue his march to the speakership,” Saunders said. “It’s all about Eric Cantor. It has nothing to with anything else.”
He added: “It’s a classic case of a guy going to Washington and buying his way to the top.”
Saunders has been with the Powell campaign for two weeks, he said.
“I wasn’t going to do a campaign this time,” the consultant said. “Had no intentions to do it. Then I met Wayne Powell. We have a good horse.”
Cantor has more than $5 million in his campaign war chest, but the hope is to gin up enough national interest in the race to raise enough money to put up a fight, Saunders said.
“We cannot win this campaign, cannot tell the story on Eric Cantor, if we don’t have bullets.”
“How are we going to raise the money? We’re going to tell the story,” he said.
And while toppling Cantor seems far-fetched, Saunders claims the district’s voters are open to someone else. “He’s not well-liked in his district. He doesn’t do town hall meetings, he shelters himself from the electorate.”
Cantor would almost have to be beatable, simply because he is so obviously a piece of shit. Mudcat Saunders is a guy who knows how to get that kind of a message across, and it’s good that he’s involved himself with this one. Maybe we can talk him into coming after Boehner next.
Unless Boehner drinks himself to death before we can get rid of him, of course.
“. . . way too many of his constituents don’t seem to get it yet.”
When it comes to turds in politics like Cantor, what mystifies me is how they can keep getting elected. Sure, they pull enough wool over enough eyes to win a term or two in Congress. By then it should be clear what they’re like. But a majority of voters in Cantor’s district keep sending him back. He’s in his sixth term. What must his loyal voters be like? They don’t like him that much? Something doesn’t add up.
Now who was it who benefited from breaking the bank of England? Oh yeah that’s right President Downgrade’s boss
I see you are on moderation .Why is that,for when you can’t come up with a valid rebuttal or you need a few hours to figure out how to reply?
You can always tell when someone is right,because the liberals won’ post their comments
No, you can always tell when someone is an idiot, because they use cutesy little keywords that trip the alarms. And the “President downgrade” is, by far, the stupidest single comment anyone ever posted on this site, and there have been a LOT of stupid comments posted here. I suppose you blame the victim of a home invasion who gets stabbed because they had knives in the kitchen, right?
Ooooh, so Michele Obama broke the bank of England. Wonder if she did it like Callista Gingrich getting by running up hundreds of thousands on credit cards. Or maybe, Loub is referring to the omnipotent Dog when he talks about Obama’s boss, which would make the baby Jesus cry. It’s confusing trying to contort my mind around this stupidity so I will stop now and get to the, you know, actual post.
Cantor has been bucking for speaker since they won in 2010, so none of this shocks me about him. He is all about avoiding his constituents from all I have heard from people in his district. didn’t he hedge his bets either way on the economy or did I read that wrong elsewhere. I remember something a yr or so ago, he put money into some group that was playing both sides in a heads I win, tails you lose game.
Arrrgh, that extra getting in reference to Callista, should not be up there. I had initially written something else and forgot to take that out.
I haven’t heard of either Mudcat Saunders or Wayne Powell. But this is excellent news. Eric Cantor needs to be ground up into tiny pieces and thrown into a landfill ([ahem] figuratively I mean.)
I lived next to Cantor’s district outside Richmond. It is going to be difficult to get rid of him. The folks who vote there like him. There are very wealthy and powerful folks there and he has served them well. The demographic of that area is not very representative of the majority in the U.S.
I live for the day both Cantor and Boehner will be gone, and they can take that constipated old Mitch McConnell right along with them. Collectively and individually, they are a huge waste of taxpayer money.
