Cantor had a lot more money than Brat. What happened to elections being bought and it all being about who has the most money?

Those articles were meant to be read together, I thought you would figure that. It seems the tea party is exiting the conservative Congressional meme, that support the corporate government, and money in politics. Just saying. You need to re-evaluate. Money and politics are pure dirt, everybody knows that. Been that way forever.

I still believe the liberals and libertarians are a better fit than the conservatives and libertarians. There is no "fit", but all in all the liberals are closer. The R's have cooped you guys with their rhetoric, but you're always killed by what they really do. Money is just one thing, but you need to recognize what the public is realizing... one of the political parties has sold out completely to corporate sponsors. The other party, partially I guess. One party is big government hawks, wants to go to war again and again. One party talks lower deficits, but raises spending more than the other party when in power. One party is pure opportunist... the other not quite so much.

I just think you guys, here, need to open your minds. Think about what works, not just what fits an ideology. Don't buy the marketing the parties throw around, look at what they actually do.

I would bring up the ACLU again but don't want to beat a dead horse.
