You know that Obama believes that mothers have the right to kill their babies AFTER they are born? Yes. You can have a part in making that happen, if you don’t vote for McCain.

It is that simple. And no, it isn’t fair. But, that is the fact. If you don’t vote for McCain, Obama is gonna win, and it will be your fault, and everyone who does the same.

Hey Spunky, can you do a “separated at birth” side by side of this and Sarah Palin?

Thanks for the info. As far as the Shamnesty goes, I think we always lose when we argue the false premises of the Democrats/liberals/leftists/Marxists.

I would love to see more conservative congresscritters with enough stones to start knocking down the false premises of global warming too.

So what you are saying is he was willing to put aside his principals and sacrifice them on the the alter of political expediency for personal gain as a politician...

Oh yeah, that is much more impressive than just admitting he has a liberal streak in him...

Wow I didn’t realize he was 45. He looks younger to me. I would have guess about 36-38.

Cantor could swing this thing for McCain.

I planned on staying home or going third party, but Cantor would make me vote.

He could motivate the conservatives who would otherwise stay at home in New Mexico (admitedly a small prize, but what I know) to vote Republican.

New Mexico turns on whether the rural voters bother to come in to vote — couple hundred votes is the difference.

I would be very happy to vote for a conservative.

Nice looking pair. Why do they have to wear the glasses for portrait-type photos? Are they trying to look more "mature", "intellectual", "serious"?

They both look like those phony glam models on LensCrafters TV commercials.

I'm surprised that this (falling off the cliff and losing readers faster than the Road runner getting away from Wiley coyote) leftist rag didn't mention Tim Pawlenty.

IMO, more than 50% of McCain's decision will come from who will best promote his getting elected and if his numbers in Minnesota maintain what they are to date, Pawlenty will be viable for the polls show him to be running very close to Obama in Minnesota which is unprecedented for a Republican running for POTUS.

>>>>>Does anyone know much about this gentleman?

I know enough about Cong Cantor to say that he is a hardcore conservative. He would be a solid pick for John McCain. 45 years old and winner of four elections with 67%, 69%, 75% and 64% of the vote in his district. And he would help attract more Jews to the GOP ticket.

Eric Cantor's conservative record and political history makes Myth Romney look like Karl Marx.

He gets a 92% from the secure the border lobby. But nothing’s ever good enough for you guys.

Why does he have to worry? He’s in Tokyo, AKA Obamaland.

If McCain thinks that a Jewish conservative will bring in Jewish votes and a restrained media he’s off his rocker.

Obscurity is the last thing to worry about. If McCain were to choose Eric Cantor as his running mate, it would make headlines around the world. Something so history-making would give McCain a major boost, and bring new appeal to voters who normally would never vote Republican.
