I have some (minor) renewed faith in my fellow Americans

Cantor has been defeated in the VA primary for his house district. Unfortunately, those morons in OH didn't do the same for Boehner. But there is renewed hope, however dim it may still be.

    I think I read in WSJ that some one did the analysis on Dems voting for Brat and found little evidence of that.

    Those morons in Ohio live in a very sequestered district in north east Ohio. It's kind of like Pelosi East. The vast majority of Ohioans didn't get a say. I even tried to send feed back through his email system. It looked me up to verify I was in his district, I am not. Boehner doesn't want to hear from people, he's too busy working things out for himself!

    I view the tea party as the individualists vs. the statists

    Living in Ohio I can tell you that YES, it is filled with morons with the exception of a very few ( and I really do mean A FEW) exceptions

    What do you think of Gov. Kasich's job performance? He seemed like a rock solid fiscal conservative in both Congress and at Fox, but I have heard rumors of him getting the liberalism disease. Are the rumors true?

    Cantor's defeat is welcome, but doesn't necessarily mean that voters are becoming more liberty-oriented. Virginia has "open" primaries, and many Democrats crossed over and cast strategic votes for Cantor's opponent David Brat because they expect he will be easier for Democrats to defeat in November.

    You and I posted the same item about Eric Cantor within minutes of each other, Robbie. Great minds think alike.
