Showing Original Post only (View all)Pelosi: Cantor Loss Means 2014 Is 'Whole New Ballgame' [View all]
(snip)
Here's Pelosi's statement below:
The American people should take notice. Tonight, the Tea Party defeated Republican Leader Eric Cantor who is one of the most extreme Members of Congress.
Eric Cantor has long been the face of House Republicans extreme policies, debilitating dysfunction and manufactured crises. Tonight, is a major victory for the Tea Party as they yet again pull the Republican Party further to the radical right.
As far as the midterms elections are concerned, its a whole new ballgame.

IMO, they have all merged into one crazy mass: religious/libertarian/teabagger/bigot/ignorant.

She might be referring to the fact that he was one of the GOP's most prolific fundraisers.
