Eric Cantor Loses To TEA Party Libertarian

From the comments to this Reason article on Eric Cantor vs David Brat.

from Brat’s c.v.:

“An Analysis of the Moral Foundations in Ayn Rand” by Katy Holland and David Brat, presented and published in the proceedings of Southeast Informs, Myrtle Beach, SC, October 6, 2010

Whole thing here:

===

Note: Cantor spent $5.4 million on his campaign. Brat spent $200,000. I blame money in politics. In any case it looks like we will have another vote for ending prohibition in the next Congress.

Cantor on Drugs. NORML rates him at -20 i.e. staunch prohibitionist.

    Wouldn’t you expect an objectivist to be pro-immigration?

    Ah. you don’t object to full up Gestapo style raids with battering rams at 3AM?

    You don object to throwing thermite grenades into baby’s cribs?

    You don’t object to racist enforcement?

    You don’t object to no Constitutional Amendment for the Federales?

    You don’t object to denying people medicine?

    OK. You are a good German.

    “Your fixation on the drug issue is getting worse.”

    Calling an opinion on a major issue a “fixation” which is “getting worse” in no way rebuts that opinion. It is simply condescending and rude, and the failure to present any rebutting argument on the merits speaks for itself.
