Cantor-Powell Debate

http://www.c-span.org/Events/Virginia-7th-District-House-Debate/10737434511/

A must see! This was Cantor's first debate in 10 years, and Powell did not let up in some very spirited exchanges.

Powell: "Congressional dysfunction was a national security issue. Look in the mirror because you caused it."

"I am not attacking you, I'm describing you."

Go 10 minutes in to avoid all the Chamber of Commerce promotion.

but it went a little quicker for me because I glided over a lot of Cantor's B.S. and lying.

If cross state voting was allowed, I travel there just to cast another ballot for Wayne Powell.

Cantor turns my stomach. He needs to be retired by the voters.

Wish it could be more.

Nothing would put a big smile on my face better than seeing Eric Cantor & Paul Ryan voted out of office! Both offices for smug Ryan.

I did the same - always power in numbers of small donations, right? Imagining Cantor and Ryan (yes, BOTH offices) gone warms the cockles of my heart. Ryan's got his smirk and Cantor curls his upper lip up exactly in the same sneering fashion that Jane Harmon does. Gives me the willies!
