...and some BRAT comes along and gives your career the ol' Heimlich Maneuver.

- And then there it is, your entire career lying in chunks on the dirty carpeting of some interstate motel conference room......

... but it probably had a lot of flavor.

Really now - 17 payments divided out means that he spent $9,919.82 per visit to these steak houses. That seems a little far fetched unless he was wining and dining a hundred people at a time. Did he really do that? Is this the kind of spending that needs to happen in order to win an election? Is this buying votes?

I always thought that the money that they raised went for tv and radio ads; posters; printed election materials; buttons; etc.

It would really be interesting to delve into the spending of a candidate running for and office and see where the money goes.

Unless he had a family member that owned these steak houses and was just laundering campaign funds for his back account. I wonder how much of that goes on in these elections?

These guys act so frugal when they are talking about feeding kids in school lunch programs or feeding the poor; foods stamps; etc - yet when it comes to saving their jobs - they go balls to the walls with spending. Really $168,637 spent in 17 visits to steak houses?

Unbelievable!!!!!!

But then they're in the DC area so that doesn't matter.

- The vault says it all.....

Isn't this sweet? Cantor getting hammered!!

We keep hammering away at the wall, and it seems as if nothing is happening. Then suddenly a big chunk comes tumbling down.

Kind of inspiring, is it not?

Since the reasons for his failure is possibly due more to xenophobia than a correction of conscience.

What is definitely inspiring for me personally, is that the karmic wheel appears to be turning in a direction that exposes the uglier aspects of life. Light is being shone under the dark rocks and crevices displaying the TRUTH for all to see, it's cruelties and its beauties as well. Whether we want to see them, or not. We need to see them. We have to learn how to look directly at the TRUTH, without blinking.

No matter whom that TRUTH exposes.

The cruelties are shown whenever some politician lies to us again in favor of the people who live in the dark shadows.

- So when one of their minions gets hoist by his own petard like Cantor, that is a thing of beauty.

How anyone could believe this guy, spending so much money on steak, is going to curb government waste.

You'd think his constituents would have a real beef with that.
