:dwillhuh: Idk why I thought you lived in the ATL :wrist:
I am from ATL and :camby: on your faq reference. All the hoes there and ya'll coli nikkas focus on is homos. The whole reason it's talked about is because hoes aren't eating in the A like they would like. In DC, fags be out and about and even worse than ATL but since hoes eating good, you don't hear much about it.

I almost busted out laughing on the bus on my way home when I read this :russ:

As much as he's done to frustrate anything Obama and Democrats tried to get done these past few years and he still wasn't considered "conservative enough."

Welp, you reap what you sow :camby:

EDIT: I just found out this tidbit

He is the first majority leader to lose in a primary in his own party since 1899.

:mjlol:

true, im anti immigration so this is a good thing, it pretty much guarantees that the house will not be passing any so called "immigration reform" any time soon

Brat, a Michigan native, is 49 years old. He’s spent the last 18 years working as an economics professor at Randolph Macon College, a school of around 1,200 students located in Ashland, Va. According to news reports, he also spent time working as an economist in the Army and at the accounting firm Arthur Andersen.

He earned his bachelors degree from Hope College, a small liberal arts college in Holland, Mich. He would go on to get a doctorate in economics from American University. Brat, who is Catholic, got his masters from Princeton Theological Seminiary, an institution that, according to its mission statement, “prepares women and men to serve Jesus Christ in ministries marked by faith, integrity, scholarship, competence, compassion, and joy, equipping them for leadership worldwide in congregations and the larger church, in classrooms and the academy, and in the public arena.”

Brat is not a "liberal college professor." No doubt hoping that conservative voters would bail on Brat's candidacy, Cantor labeled him a "liberal college professor," which FactCheck determined was inaccurate. The site asked conservative economist Richard Rahn for his assessment of Brat and were told that "he always portrayed himself to me as very conservative."

As if to hammer home the point, Brat's previous research includes a study titled, "An Analysis of the Moral Foundations in Ayn Rand." (Brat says he is not a Randian.) He frequently trumpeted the six elements of the "Republican Creed" on the campaign trail, which you can read at his website.

He ran for the Virginia House of Delegates in 2011. In August 2011, Brat announced that he would run for the Republican nomination for a House of Delegates seat. The party chose to run someone else in the general election. (He won.)

Brat was massively outraised. According to his most recent filing with the FEC, Brat raised only about $206,000 through the middle of May. Cantor, on the other hand, raised $5.4 million this cycle.

He will be running against one of his colleagues in November. As we noted earlier on Tuesday, Brat will face Jack Trammell, also an instructor at Randolph-Macon. If the students of the college were to pick, they'd likely pick Trammell; his Rate My Professor score is much higher.

Brat, who teaches Third World economics, sounded every bit the professor as he addressed his stunned supporters Tuesday night.

“The 10th Amendment is the big one; the Constitution has enumerated powers belonging to the federal government. All the rest of the powers belong to the states and the people,” he said, getting huge applause.

Nordvig saw Brat speak at a fundraiser for E.W. Jackson, the conservative minister who nabbed the state GOP’s nomination for lieutenant governor last year, only to be trounced in the general election by Democrat Ralph S. Northam.

“I asked him 45 minutes of questions afterward . . . about what would he do about deficit spending, what would he do about Obamacare, what would he do about amnesty . . . and he gave very satisfactory answers,” said Nordvig, who described Brat as “presidential-looking” — important in an era of televised campaigns. “Between his appearance and his bearing and his answers to tough questions, I knew we had the right man for the job.”

The results Tuesday left him and the other supporters “crazy happy,” Nordvig said. “There’s a lot of, ‘can’t believe this has happened,’ just a wonderful disbelief. Just absolutely thrilled.”

On Fox host Sean Hannity’s show after the victory, Brat said: “I was blessed. I mean, it’s a miracle. . . . God acts through people. And God acted through the people.”

Brat also cited immigration as a difference-maker in the campaign, saying politicians are beholden to the Chamber of Commerce. “They want cheap labor, and that’s going to lower wages for everybody else,” he said.

Brat has long reveled in poking the establishment, talking up battles against the “intellectual elite” while at Princeton, where he earned a master’s degree in divinity, and against “the powerful elite” at American University, where he received his PhD in economics.

His campaign bio points to his time as an economic adviser to Virginia governors, work that prompted an accusation from Cantor that Brat had been too chummy with former Democratic governor Timothy M. Kaine.

After about a decade at Randolph-Macon, Brat took a more direct role in politics. In 2005, he took an unpaid position as an adviser to state Sen. Walter A. Stosch (R-Henrico), co-chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. In that position, Brat researched higher-education initiatives, including a proposal to create a grant program allowing underprivileged students to move beyond high school.

“He wanted some exposure to the legislative process, and I was glad to have him,” Stosch said Tuesday. “Both of us have an interest in education — particularly in economically deprived young people who, without opportunity, would not be able to go beyond high school.”

Stosch said Brat expressed an interest in entering electoral politics in the years he worked for him — at one point putting his name forward to fill a House of Delegates seat. But when Brat pursued his congressional run, he could not count on Stosch’s open support: Cantor was also a friend and former aide to Stosch.
