Well, Sarah did say to find a rogue for VP. :p

Quote:

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor went into damage control mode Friday following the revelation that he contributed $25,000 to a super PAC devoted to defeating incumbent House members — including numerous Republicans.

The news of Cantor’s contribution to the Campaign for Primary Accountability, first reported by Roll Call Friday afternoon and confirmed by a spokesman for the super PAC, was said to have taken party leaders by surprise. House Speaker John Boehner, House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, and National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Pete Sessions, knowledgeable aides said, had not received advance word that the contribution had been made.

CPA has caused widespread consternation on Capitol Hill after spending $132,000 to run ads against Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Ohio), who lost unexpectedly in a March 6 primary, and more than $203,000 against Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.). In addition to expenditures against a handful of incumbent Democrats, the super PAC has spent funds to unseat Rep. Jo Bonner (R-Ala.) and is currently involved in efforts against Rep. Tim Murphy (R-Pa.), who faces a primary challenge on April 24.

Dumb ass....what kinda control can you do? Either you did or you didn't....nothing further to "control" damage wise.........geeeeesh :rolleyes:

A very sad thing really. I've heard about it for years in California politics but I tell you turning on your own party members like that really sucks when I see it in print. It sure is not what I think I would call living in a free country.

Carl

Maybe he'll be the first incumbent to go.....

And with Cantor it was probably because they weren't crazy enough.

You should get a load of his bud Cucinelli.

Something in the water over there Dave?

Don't get me started.

Cantor sure seems like an obnoxious, untrustworthy and ambitious prick. McDonnell and Cuccinelli aren't far behind with respect to these traits.

Oh but he is one of the "Young Guns", you know the kind with the cork on the end of a string.
