I found this news startling and somewhat telling on several levels:   Through May 21, the Eric Cantor Political Campaign spent more money at 2 steakhouses in DC than the competitor spent on his whole campaign!!!!!   Yikes!!!

Wow!!!   That is a lot of steaks, potatoes,  salads (do ya really think they were eating salads??   ;) ) eating and drinking.  That is a lot.  Its good for the restaurants, the staffs, etc.   hmmm   Now if they asked me to contribute to a campaign do I want that money going to fat cats feasting on steak????   Not really.

I suspect that is "standard" for the DC political sect, irrespective of party.  Regardless...if they are going to spend that much on food let alone steak, potatoes, maybe salads, and probably a lot of bourbon...at least they should spend it in the political district.   Just sayin!!!

I bet they had some creamed spinach too. There was probably also a good deal of figurative dick-gobbling.

I'm sure you're correct.  :D

I wonder how much $$ went into the creamed spinach and "figurative dick-gobbling"?  Probably the majority.

Does someone have a beef with Cantor? A lot of folks had a steak in the election. His liberal spending obviously didn't sit well (done) with his constituents. The media grilled him over this rare defeat. A Brat is a lot cheaper.

I'm trying to think of a good meataphor to explain this.

Good try. The only metaphor I can come up with is "Happy Wife = Happy Life." He neglected his "wife", i.e., his constituents, and they made their unhappiness quite plain. How one works food into the equation escapes me.

He'll be leaving with money stuffing his pockets: "Cantor's leadership committee, Every Republican Is Crucial (ERIC) PAC, had nearly $580,000 on hand at the beginning of May. While ex-members of Congress can't spend campaign committee funds for personal use, the same prohibition does not apply to leadership PACs." link

[sorry, folks - this is a non-political website. This thread is now closed. Those who posted here wasted their time because the entire thread is going to be deleted. You knew this before you did it, and please don't say you didn't. Thanks a lot for violating one of the only prime directives on this website (no politics, no religion, no personal attacks). I'm only leaving this up for a few hours as a reminder that I'm deadly serious about all three of these. And, I will add, it wouldn't matter if it was anti-Republican or anti-Democrat; anti-Christian, anti-Muslim, or anti-Atheist. I'm disappointed in all who participated in this, and this isn't even a close call. This community is a safe harbor for those who wish to avoid persecution of political or religious beliefs. It always has been, and it always will be. We are one people, and we are going to remain that way. Cheers, Rocks.]
