We all (certainly here at the Grok) want less government and lower taxes, but what if a Congressman could actually spell out the economic realities and the benefits of less government. What if that Congressman replaced a big government Progressive?

Stop imagining, and meet the man who pried Eric Cantor loose from his 12 term seat in Congress – from NRO:

Dave Brat presents a major problem for liberals who try to continue increased government spending by discrediting conservatives and claiming the budget is “too complicated” for conservatives to understand.

For years in Virginia, everyone from the media to Governors have come to Dave Brat for insights on the budget, knowing that he tested his rural values against the intellectual elite while at Princeton and against the powerful elite at American University. That experience continues to give Dave the ability to make the case for new budgets that are based on the fact that a free and robust economy is necessary for a free society to thrive.

What a concept! Trusted and respected, NOT a lawyer, battle-tested rural values. Are Scott Brown and his fan club (NHGOP) paying attention?
