Eric Cantor Has Opponent

Chesterfield County lawyer E. Wayne Powell has announced his candidacy to unseat incumbent 7th District congressman and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA).

Announcing his candidacy, Powell said Cantor has never represented his constituents in the 7th District, but is more interested in "his own advancement and in promoting the objectives of others."

While it is unlikely that we would support Powell over Cantor, we have to agree that Cantor has been far more interested “in his own advancement”.  However, to claim that Cantor has never represented his constituents is absurd.  Eric Cantor is a fine man who unfortunately has allowed personal ambition to cloud his innate conservatism.

Eric Cantor was, and remains, a fine representative for the people of Virginia’s 7th District.  It is his performance in the House leadership that we quarrel with.

Where's your Establishment Republican Shill disclosure at the bottom of this article? The R's had their chance and are blowing it big time. Let the Tea Party candidates primary these RINOs and get a real Conservative Congress.
