The Beltway GOP Crapweasels

Now that's a new one - "The Beltway GOP Crapweasels." I like it. Credit Michelle Malkin in her hit piece today on Eric Cantor, who endorsed Jeb Bush last week. The fact that Bush trotted him out is a great illustration of the moniker and why Bush is sinking like a rock in the Presidential polls. Cantor lost a "safe" seat in the House when Virginia voters dumped him in favor of a conservative libertarian economics prof, David Brat. Malkin said his loss was because:

"BushCantor share the same smug condescension toward Americans who believe in strict immigration enforcement and putting American workers first. Cantor fecklessly lied to voters during the campaign season about his position(s). He showered his district with anti-illegal immigration flyers that fraudulently portrayed him as standing up to President Obama on amnesty. But on Capitol Hill, he championed the DREAM Act for illegal alien students, huge H-1B visa increases to quench Big Tech's appetite for cheap foreign tech workers, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce/AFL-CIO's collaboration on massive immigration expansions.

While Cantor lip-synced to the limited-government tea party message, he boogied in backrooms with his pork-barrel pals. He assailed Obama's bloated stimulus and then celebrated the high-speed rail boondoggles in his state funded by it. As a celebrated "young gun" on the right, Cantor preached fiscal responsibility, while blowing nearly $170,000 on fancy steakhouse dinners across the country in his last year in office.

Like Bush (and Gang of Eight cheerleader Sen. Marco Rubio), Cantor was the beneficiary of -- and water carrier for -- generous Silicon Valley and Big Business contributors. Cantor's biggest donors included New York financial conglomerates the Blackstone Group ($65,500) and Goldman Sachs ($26,000), and California tech company Oracle ($25,000)
."


Can you say Mitch McConnnell and John Boehner and all the other Crapweasel Republicans whose only interest is themselves and "Pork-as-Usual" politics?
