Even Obama isn't in favor of withholding disaster assistance for tornado victims:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/inside-politics/2011/may/23/cantor-learns-delays-lesson-disaster-spending/

"House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said Monday that if Congress passes an emergency spending bill to help Missouri's tornado victims, the extra money will have to be cut from somewhere else.

"If there is support for a supplemental, it would be accompanied by support for having pay-fors to that supplemental," Mr. Cantor, Virginia Republican, told reporters at the Capitol. The term "pay-fors" is used by lawmakers to signal cuts or tax increases used to pay for new spending."

As much as I don't like the supporters of Israel dictating foreign policy, I would be willing to support this agenda more or less if there was a big pull back on immigration, both legal and illegal.

Can we get this deal?

Doesn't seem like it, but it is there for the taking.

I noticed this guy a few years back and figured he would make a great Presidential or Vice-Presidential candidate, which means of course that the GOP will want nothing to do with him. Smart, educated, articulate, Jewish, no thanks, we want the tongue tied and moronic but Christian Sarah Palin instead because "she's a rogue" .

The problem is that Cantor would have to give up a very, very good position in the House. If Cantor wants the top job, he'll likely run for Governor of Virginia in 2013, at least if Obama is re-elected. It would be a good move for a 2020 run in the event of a Republican victory, too.

I've been watching his videos on Youtube. He's good in debate, but what stands out for me is that even in videos his own team has selected, he gets introduced as 'Washington', 'royalty', etc. That's what happens when you're House Majority leader.

Cantor on immigration:

Voted YES on building a fence along the Mexican border. (Sep 2006)
Voted YES on preventing tipping off Mexicans about Minuteman Project. (Jun 2006)
Voted NO on reporting illegal aliens who receive hospital treatment. (May 2004)
Voted YES on extending Immigrant Residency rules. (May 2001)
Rated 100% by FAIR, indicating a voting record restricting immigration. (Dec 2003)
Rated 92% by USBC, indicating a sealed-border stance. (Dec 2006)
Declare English as the official language of the US. (Feb 2007)

Eh, they can't throw anti-semitism at him. Only weak spot is the illegal aliens in the hospital, which just shows he's human. I say go for it. If you actually got a Jewish president who restricted immigration, would you really complain? Maybe only Nixon can go to China...

He'd never win--social conservatives would throw a fit--but as a VP, why not?

What about Marco Rubio? Conservative in the Reagan tradition, very intelligent(graduated with honors), all-American(college gridiron star who almost made it to the NFL), EXTREMELY handsome, articulate and eloquent, etc, and most importantly, he is a minority which allows the Republican Party to equal itself to the Democrats in the moral war. It's funny that Sailer hasn't mentioned Rubio.

I'm a Jew, and I think Cantor would likely beat Obama. I'm sure he'd get support from many members of the tribe. This could tip some states, e.g., Florida, Ohio, etc., into the Republican column.

Might be a good choice. He seems a bit smug at times though, it might not wear well on tv. Anyway, it seems likely Obama's masses will turn out for him. Unless Whites get explicit, no republican - certainly no "conservative" - will ever win again. Demographics starting to kick in.

"It's widely noted that the GOP field of Presidential candidates seems a little weak."

So, what counts as strength today? Bush II was a zero but he won. Obama had hardly any qualifications but he won too.
Bush won because of 'Clinton fatigue', he seemed like a 'nice guy' in an era of general blandness and stability, and because GOP stalwarts saw him as a pushover puppet.
Obama won because of Jewish support, chocolate milk charisma, hope and change symbolism, and 2008economic meltdown.

Obama hasn't done a good job so far, so he should be vulnerable. But he does have the telegenic Oprah thing for many Americans. He can count on the black vote and the white guilt vote and tons of Jewish cash and media support. Hispanic vote too maybe but perhaps not as much as in 2008. (Given so much anti-immigration rhetoric from the GOP, it is still amazing that 30% of Hispanics voted for the GOP.)

Anyway, in this age of the electronic image and audio, what counted as strengths in the past no longer apply. Even if all the GOP candidate have strong resumes, they would go nowhere without the personality thing. Obama has a cheesy one but he is telegenic. Republican guys tend to be colorless except for Ron Paul. Paul is good but too extreme on some issue.. and too old. As for Gingrich and Romney, no one trusts them cuz of their past.

We just need someone with shoulders, look of confidence, self-control, optimism, and controlled passion. And reasonably good looks, which Rand Paul doesn't have.
(Am I the only one who thinks Ron looks like Popeye and Rand looks like Sweat Pea?)
And we need a man with the voice.

Our suggest to all conservatives should be TAKE DRAMA CLASSES IN HIGHSCHOOL AND COLLEGE. Learn how to act and speak. And even if you don't succeed in politics, you might in Hollywood, and we can always do with more conservative actors(who sometimes become directors like Gibson, Eastwood, and Duvall).

No to Cantor. He's too ... Beta Male. I like his record on immigration, but creating victory means a super-appeal to White voters, along racial/ethnic lines, but not explicit.

This means a guy who is young, true, but also has charisma. Which Cantor just lacks (see Romney, Pawlenty, etc.) No to Palin -- White women HATE HATE HATE her.

Rick Perry is likely the best positioned, he's all over Greta Van Susteren's show on border crime/immigration issues. He's conservative. He's populist.

And that is the key. Green eyeshade "cuts to Medicare" guarantee an Obama victory. "Obama will gut Medicare to give money to illegals" is a vote-winner for GOP Candidates. Perry as a more populist guy understands that. Cantor does not.

5/25/11, 8:20 PM

Blogger Whiskey said...

People like Bibi because he's a conservative populist for his own people in the West. We wish had our own populist. America has not had a true populist since, maybe Truman.

What we have instead is faux-aristo elites, who "know" they are better than us, and hate America's traditions and people. Pushed by ... well White female desire for Princes and Kings and dislike of ordinary people.

This means, yes we need a young hunk candidate, but one that can be populist (male White voters show up) as well as hunky (yes White women vote on youth/virility as much as anything).

"Similarly, nobody in the press cares that Tim Pawlenty would be the first half-Polish President."

I have a great idea. Look here:

http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/sheep_thats_15_human_created_for_transplants/

"Scientists have created the world’s first human-sheep chimera – which has the body of a sheep and half-human organs. The sheep have 15 per cent human cells and 85 per cent animal cells – and their evolution brings the prospect of animal organs being transplanted into humans one step closer."

How about we create the first hybrid candidate? Maybe 60% man and 40% elephant. Elephant Man as president! Think of the memory he'll have.

This way Democrats will only be wimpy interracist while we will be fully interspeciest. I wouldn't being half-tiger myself.

My guess is if Cantor runs, he may take a dive because he doesn't wanna send a message to the black community, 'A Jew beat a black guy'. And in order to maintain the Jewish-black alliance, Jews may stick with Obama than go with Cantor.

It's a myth plain and simple that US foreign policy is pro-Israel. All one needs to do is ask themselves if the US and international community completely removed themselves from the affairs of the Middle East what would the situation look like.


Anyone who thinks that the Israeli military (even without the pittance of military aid, which amounts to less than <2% of GDP) wouldn't wipe the floor in a no holds barred total war between it and its neighbors is nuts.

The only reason Syria, Lebanon and Egypt continue to enjoy the privilege of living outside the stone age is because the "international community" (read: US State Department and US liberal media and press) would have a shit fit if a couple of nukes were lobbed into the center of Damascus and Beirut (and for that matter Tehran), followed by a tank blitzkrieg.

The military aid is nothing compared to the fact that our government, journalists and political correctness stops the Israeli military from going in and just carpet bombing whatever hospitals and orphanages Hamas is hiding their rocket launch sites in.

The only thing Israel needs from the US is for it to drop its squeamish, cowardly fear of "offending" third world terrorists and thugs.

Our first Jewish President will also be our first Mormon President. His name is Jason Chaffetz, and he's a young congressman from Utah.

He was born, bar-Mitzvahed, and raised Jewish. His family comes from rich, well-connected, coastal stock (he has a half-brother named Dukakis, for example). He's young, conventionally handsome, and the media seems to cover him sympathetically.

He played D-1 college football on the Sailer Plan, too, which shouldn't hurt his prospects.

Marco Rubio fits that desciption to a "t". He is young, extremely good-looking, highly intelligent, former college gridiron star, eloquent, articulate, beloved by the Tea Party and most importantly, he is a Latino and thus puts the Republican Party on a moral equal ground with Democrats and their black president. He has also stated that America is the only country in the World that doesen't enforce it's immigration laws, and that this is shameful. Rubio is as good as Republicans can get. Now, if you want a candidate that wants to end Third World immigration to America, then you won't find any among mainstream politicians because not supporting Third World imigration is racist, and that is something that no mainstream politician wants to be considered. If that is what you want, then you should become a White Nationalist and forget about politics as usual.

Inkraven gave us the link to the Washington Times story about Cantor not wanting to give aid to the Missouri tornado victims unless it was paid for by cutting the budget elsewhere.

In November 2010, shortly after the republicans won the House, Cantor was reported to be supportive of a new plan to classify aid to Israel as part of the US defense budget, instead of what it actually is, foreign aid. He was worried that the Tea Party movement would pressure the republicans to cut foreign aid, and he did not want Israel getting adversely affected. So his solution was to reclassify that aid as US DoD spending. Here is a story about it in the Jerusalem Post.

As a resident of Missouri, I find this offensive. That a US Congressman would nickle and dime US citizens in time of need, but do everything in his power to keep the financial gravy train running for a foreign nation is despicable, especially for a foreign nation that is supposed to have a knowledge-based economy that is the envy of the world.

In effect Cantor is saying that Israel is more important than an American state and American citizens.

Or maybe he feels like Grandpa Simpson. In one episode of the Simpsons Granda was displaying a 49 star flag. Marge asked him why he did not have a 50 star flag. Grandpa told her that it would be a cold day in hell before he recognized Missourah. Maybe Cantor feels the same.

"Seems that man was Fred Thompson, had he actually been interested in campaigning."

But he lacked intensity. He had the entitlementality of Southern gentry, the whole attitude being, "I'm an old white male of proper breed and pedigree, and so the people should hand me the key to the city." It might have worked in the South decades ago, but it's wrong for today.

Also, in his old age, he looked like the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
