1. Thank G-d I will have one less reason to be red faced.
Miron ,   USA   (06.11.14)
One more publication about "Jewish" politician in US in English speaking press and I will renounce my birthright... How come they have enough sense not to call Obama zulu politician, but when it comes to Jewish, zulu sounds really gentle how deep thy go into the "birth certificate".
2. Corrections
(06.11.14)
Cantor lost to David Brat, but Brat was not supported by the Tea Party. Brat was supported by real patriots who are sick of the GOP establishment and RINOs collaborating with Obama at the expense of America. The fact that Cantor is Jewish is irrelevant and a little bit racist. Cantor lost because he supported Obama's plan to import millions of illegals from Mexico to be Democrat voters and because he supported Holders plan to impose pro-Left voting fraud on the states.
3. #1:Judging from your stances you may as well renounce it.
tom ,   tel aviv   (06.11.14)
Not a big deal, "Jewish" does not guarantee anything when it comes to American politics, (Remember that filth, Kissinger?) Hell: it doesn't even guarantees loyalty & patriotism when talking about our local, ISRAELI politicians on the Lunatic Left! Tea Party is what's needed for the Americans to come out of Obama-stupor.
4. This Is a HUGE Loss for Israel
Jersey Jew ,   New Jersey, USA   (06.11.14)
Our Tea Party is against foreign aid & military/political intervention, contrary to Eric Cantor's primary focus ...
5. Got rid of the KAPO!! Huraay!!!
Chaim Life ,   Reston, Virginia   (06.11.14)
With Jews like these we all pay a high price. They make Jews stand out in a BAD way. These guys always behave with a "holier than thou" attitude. Hoping the democrats are kicked out altogether.

Looses? Speaker of the Housing? Hmmm
7. dave brat is unlikely to become important in DC.
stud ham   (06.11.14)
just another political hack in the back benches of the powerless.
8. #7 You And Many Others Miss The Point
World Citizen ,   the world   (06.11.14)
While Brat may be a minor player in the overall US political decision making process his opinion counts in that he cancels out any vote Cantor might have made. Cantor was an interventionist. He wanted the US military fighting wars in places like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Iran , Syria, Yemen or any other country that the current Israel government wants destroyed. Cantor was first and foremost a Israeli Firster. That he lost to a new comer that will have little political clout in Washington is telling. It shows that the citizens of his district are fed up with military interventionism and Cantor's and the current administration's liberal policies concerning foreign aid and immigration. This is a growing trend throughout the U.S. Now if only the voters of New York could run Shumer out of office.
9. To All Commentators
Harold ,   USA   (06.11.14)
I did say few months ago that Eric Cantor will be thrown out of the US Congress and I was right. Cantor acted as a public enemy for saying NO TO FOOD STAMPS HELP FOR THREE MILLION NEEDY AMERICANS, NO TO EXTEND THE UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS FOR ONE MILLION AMERICANS. TRIED ALMOST FIFTY TIMES TO REPEAL THE OBAMACARE NEEDED FOR FOURTY MILLION UNINSURED AMERICANS AND SO ON AND SO ON. The Americans don't want people like this guy and others like him in the Congress and Senate will be booted out next November. The image and reputation of a person in much more important than money. Cantor spent five million dollars and his opponent spent one hundred thousand dollars only.

split ,   US   (06.11.14)
America first, that was the theme of Mr.Brat - Eric Cantor the Republican House of Reps. so called majority leader, Mr. in your face Israel firster an AIPAC goon and enforcer of ass-kissing trips to Israel for fresh congressman and woman is history. Something to chew on ,...

12. #8
Harold ,   USA   (06.11.14)
Excellent comment. Schumer is more problematic than Cantor. Both are more loyal to Israel than the US. Cantor tried to become the Speaker of the House and Schumer is trying to be the Majority leader.
13. Brat's platform: immigration.
jdc   (06.11.14)
Brat is an Ayn Randian, with a Master's in Theology. "The central policy issue in this race has become Cantor's absolute determination to pass an amnesty bill," Brat told Breitbart News days ago. "Cantor is the No. 1 cheerleader in Congress for amnesty."

Harold ,   USA   (06.11.14)
You are right. Cantor was trying to help the immigrants so that the Republicans gets their votes. Cantor made lot of damages to the American Middle Class and the poor and that is why he received a bad diploma.
17. #12&14: get in touch with #11,he'll tell you how they did it
tom ,   tel aviv   (06.11.14)

Harold ,   USA   (06.11.14)
Ho Ho Ho the American poor and the middle class won and kicked this public enemy out of the Congress.
20. To: No. 4
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.12.14)
Blame Cantor. He knew full well his constituency's thoughts on immigration. Blanket amnesty to illegal aliens is daylight madness -- do you have any idea how many "guests" of the California Prison Service and the Texas Department of Correction (and others similarly situated) would instantly become American citizens under the criteria Cantor supported, which do not carve out an exception for individuals who are not law-abiding? He could have toughened his position somewhat, and been assured re-election. He may have made the decision to go with his principles ... and lost. Very reminiscent of Henry Clay. The only thing anyone remembers about him is his catchy line: "I'd rather be right than be president." He got is wish. Evidently, on a lesser scale, so did Eric Cantor.
21. To: No. 8
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.12.14)
Cantor should have fallen on his sword with respect to his stance on immigration -- move the debate to another day. The primary election was decided on the basis of turnout of 38% of eligible registered Republicans. Brat will not win the election.
22. To: No. 9
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.12.14)
Oh, yeah. I just LOVE the idea of issuing food stamps to unwed eighteen year old mothers with five children by five different fathers. Don't you? Are you somehow under the impression that the bill was intended to help working poor and the elderly? Think again. The Affordable Health Care Act is an unmitigated disaster. Extend unemployment benefits? Who's going to pay for it, Harold? Not the corporations, that's for certain. No, extended benefits for the unemployed would be the exclusive responsibility of the taxpayer. Don't worry about me -- I can afford a tax hike. But I'm not middle class. It is the middle class that would feel the pinch. But you don't care, do you? You've been leeching off taxpayer revenue for a long time ....
23. #11 You make me laugh
Benji ,   US   (06.15.14)
Cantor underestimated the power of the Tea Party. The American people are sick and tired of funding freeloaders like you. Brat is the new generation of leaders who will expect you to get off your ass, take a shower, get a job and stop depending on handouts. That applies to all your talkback names ie America first, Harold, world sleazebag. It won't be easy for you split since you have no skills, about a 7th grade education and the social skills of a donkey. Let's hope November will be a repeat of Brat's spectacular win!

That was uncalled for. You should retract your racist slur. Cantor is an honorable and intelligent man. We just need more from our leaders to counter the damage done by Obama.
