Another GOP Strategist Working Against the GOP (Eric Cantors political consultant endorsing Rat McAuliffe)
Right here is why many of us have serious issues with the losers running the House. Just look at who they have working for them...
ZitatKen Cuccinelli is leading an aggressive, populist, small government campaign. His latest television ad hits squarely on the theme of big companies hiring lobbyists and consultants in a bipartisan fashion and getting both sides to carve out loopholes and benefits for those big companies. The little guy is left paying for those loopholes in his taxes.
The consultants in the GOP, who’ve been profiting heavily from this sort of this, sell us “electable” candidates who cannot win against conservative candidates who will hurt their revenue stream. In that vein, we should look with interest that Boyd Marcus in Virginia is endorsing Terry McAuliffe. What is interesting is that Boyd Marcus is a consultant for Eric Cantor, the House Majority Leader.
Mr. Cantor has been on a tear lately trying to sell Republicans as the party that can make government work better for you. He’s opposed to defunding Obamacare. He’s actually the guy the bigs like.
I do have to say, what is more interesting here is that Marcus is also Bill Bollings’ consultant. Bolling thought he had a lock on the nomination and failed. So his consultant jumping ship to McAuliffe shouldn’t be a surprise. But the underlying issue here is how much the establishment is invested in the establishment — regardless of the party in charge.
Boyd Marcus tells the Associated Press, “he’s endorsing McAuliffe because he sees him as the candidate willing to work with both parties to get things done.”
Where by “get things done” he no doubt means can keep the big businesses of Virginia sufficiently loopholed out of the burdens the rest of Virginia must pay for with their taxes.
Until the GOP starts purging its consultant class, it will keep having a hard time winning.
ZitatIn a statement announcing the endorsement, McAuliffe's campaign quotes Marcus as saying, "I've never before supported any Democrat, but this election Terry is the clear choice for mainstream conservatives."
See why the GOPe cannot be trusted? These are the people they are hiring and listening to.

If I may quote the estimable Frank Cannon, "Who cares?"
It's one consultant in one state.
Plenty of GOP consultants are true to the conservative cause.

Like hell. Name these consultants that are true to the cause. Mike Murphy? Steve Schmidt? No Labels Mark McKinnon? Hell. Romney's loser of consultant Eric Fehrnstrom is whining about the RNC telling CNN and NBC to screw for the debates. Some Conservative stalwart there, eh?
Most consultants are only around for the money and the cocktail parties.

I never heard of the guy you're so upset about before today and I doubt if you did, either.
Yeah, and I never heard of Nidal Hasan until he pulled his terrorist act. Does that mean he doesn't matter either?
ZitatThe wide majority of elected GOP officials are reliably conservative.
You're paying too much attention to the exceptions.
Well I gave you three names of major consultants in the GOP in nationwide elections who have come out fully against Conservatives, yet you still make that hollow statement that Conservatism is the rule and not the exception in the modern GOP. Just because you keep telling yourself something doesn't make it true.
