EPIC – Trey Gowdy gets a standing ovation on House Floor ‘

On the "Cantor Calamity" and immigration

More Cantor fallout: What happens to Obama’s executive order on deportations now?  ... "He’s done next to nothing for liberal amnesty fans since then. If he runs away in terror at the sight of Cantor getting blown out of the water, some of them might boycott the midterms, and suddenly the GOP’s looking at an even bigger night than everyone expects. He’s got to act.

"So, when? When is the least damaging moment politically for Obama to make this now inevitable move? My best guess is that he’s going to stick to the original timeline of doing it during the August recess. " ...

Comprehensive Defeat 
 
"A lot of Republicans, disproportionately those in Washington, D.C., harbor the fantasy that the party could make great gains among Hispanic voters if it would only offer legal status to millions of illegal immigrants, create large guest-worker programs, and refrain from insisting that enforcement of the existing laws be shown to work before taking these steps. Cantor refused to shut the door on this approach, so primary voters shut the door on him."
 
Brat’s Victory Means Re-evaluation Time for the GOP   " Former Florida governor Jeb Bush, who embraces a more welcoming immigration policy than does much of the Republican nominating electorate, may construe Cantor’s defeat as a discouraging augury concerning any presidential aspirations Bush might have."

Did Democratic Meddling Defeat Eric Cantor?   "Dave Brat's stunning victory over House majority leader Eric Cantor is being hailed as a huge win for the Tea Party and immigration hawks, but might Brat actually owe his victory to Democrats, who were eligible to vote in Tuesday's open primary? That's a question Republican strategist Patrick Ruffini raised late last night on Twitter, where he pointed out that Brat performed very well in districts where Obama did best in 2012:: ...  In other words, was Brat the Democrat's choice?

‘Amnesty’ Has Claimed a Victim   ... "To critics of immigration reform, the defeat of Cantor reflects a growing wave of opposition to congressional action on immigration, particularly anything resembling the Senate-passed measure that offers a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants here.
 
"But if a wave exists, there was no evidence of it in the Republican primary in South Carolina won by Senator Lindsey Graham, a co-sponsor of the Senate bill and an outspoken advocate of letting illegals stay in the U.S.  Graham got four or five times as many votes as Brat."

HOW TO SOLVE THAT "HUMANITARIAN CRISIS" - HUNDREDS, PERHAPS THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT KIDS BEING DUMPED BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IN ARIZONA AND OTHER STATES

"THIS CURRENT CRISIS IS COMPLETELY MANUFACTURED BY OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES - BY OPENING THE BORDERS AND REFUSING TO PROSECUTE ILLEGALS WHICH SENT THE SIGNAL TO PEOPLE WANTING TO COME HERE ILLEGALY(sp) THAT NOW WAS THE TIME."

"IT IS CLASSIC CLOWARD-PIVEN - (FROM WIKI):
The Cloward–Piven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven that called for overloading the U.S. public welfare system in order to precipitate a crisis that would lead to a replacement of the welfare system with a national system of "a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty".

 "IN THIS CASE, OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES ARE HOPING TO MAKE THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CRISIS SO BAD THAT - 
(AFTER THE LEFTIST DOMINATED MASS MEDIA PUSHES THE "HUMANITARIAN CRISIS" ASPECT OF THE MESS) - 
CONGRESS WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PASS AMNESTY.
IF YOU THINK THINGS ARE BAD NOW, WAIT TILL THEY START TO DEBATE A BILL IN CONGRESS; 
WHAT LOOKS LIKE A FLOOD NOW WILL BECOME A TSUNAMI!
THERE'S ONE WAY TO STOP THIS:
VOTE GOP IN NOVEMBER! 
DAVE BRAT GOP THAT IS! WOW!"
 
Emphases in the original
Ann Couter: Cantor Loses By 11 Million Voters  ..."Cantor spent more than $5 million on his campaign. Brat spent less than $150,000. But Brat made the election about Cantor's support for amnesty, so he won.

"The pro-amnesty crowd -- i.e., everyone except the American people -- promptly lost its collective mind. The amnesty shills went on the attack, insisting that Cantor's historic defeat had nothing to do amnesty. Brat's triumph was touted as simply a victory for the "tea party.

The incomprehensible booty for a military deserter

Pakistan Daily Times   "Here is the real question. Who benefits from this deal? The United States military does not benefit. This eviscerates morale within the ranks. There are no yellow ribbons tied around the old oak tree, no veterans clamouring to line up and shake Bergdahl’s hand."...

 ... "Americans no longer trust Washington’s elite ‘Liar’s Club’. The Beltway jesters consistently deliver unbelievable whoppers. Captured on the ‘battlefield’? Bergdahl was not captured due to superior Afghan firepower and ground support. He was not taken by the enemy after firing the last bullet, throwing a grenade, or slicing the liver out of the enemy with his K-bar." ...

... "President Obama ran on a platform of transparency in government but the drawbridge went up the day he walked into the White House. He has consistently worked to actively deny Americans basic truths regarding his ill-clad foreign policy endeavours." ...
