Teabagger extremist beats Eric Cantor in GOP primary

Here's another indication of the pending demise of the GOP as a national party.

In today's primary elections in Virginia beehive head Eric Cantor, who is the GOP house majority leader, lost to his primary challenger David Brat. As the last name suggests, Brat is a raving teabagger who also managed to somehow maintain a real day job as a professor. Yup, you heard that right: a raving teabagger university professor. This is historic in many levels. Brat will be facing, get this, a democrat who also is a faculty member of the same college. This will be interesting and because we are dealing with a toothless teabagger it will be entertaining as well.

The main issue in the race was immigration with Brat stoking up xenophobic fears of brown people invading the country and destroying the white race as we know it.

What this also means is that the GOP has lost its last Jewish congressman, making the GOP house delegation is much more pure whiter, completely "Christian" block. And it also means that the GOP is now shrinking on its own as it becomes more reactionary, more racist, more teabaggy. It means that GOP will shrink to reflect its base: it will remain in the south, rural, and racist.
