Nov. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Eric Cantor, the second-ranking Republican in the U.S. House, said his party needs to be inclusive and criticized some comments by talk-show host Rush Limbaugh as inappropriate.

“The Republican Party in its roots is a party of inclusion and we ought to be promoting that and making sure that voices are heard,” Cantor, of Virginia, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt,” airing today.

Inclusion: Code word for promoting RINOs.

Real conservatives are inclusive without having to say they are. Conservatism by nature is inclusive.

Go to h*ll DIABLO Cantor. We saw inclusiveness at Fort Hood thanks to polocies of the Democrat Islamist Party and stinking RINOs like Cantor, McCain, Graham-nesty, Crist, Newt.

It would be nice to hear them talk down Democrats once in awhile. The Democrats NEVER say things about people like Michael Moore. The phantom and magical big tent seems to expand ONLY on its left side. BAH. Tiresome.

Eric is a smart boy but he has this wrong. Rush says that we are a party of inclusion. We welcome men, women, straight, gays, blacks, whites, latinos, asians, all races and all religions as long as they believe the US Constitution is what guides us in our laws and values.

We can include all people groups. But it is nonsense to say that we can include all ideologies. How could we ever act in ways to please everyone? It is tough enough to come to agreements among people who are pretty much conservatives.

No, Mr. Cantor, the Republican Party at it’s roots is a party of principle! Any principle beyond self-aggrandizement is sadly lacking in the party today.

When the GOP was formed to elect Abraham Lincoln, they knew that his election would bitterly divide the country and possibly cause secession.

When they say “inclusion” what they really mean is “submit to our will”!

Ain’t that the truth.

What about calling Obama a dictator is not inclusive anyway?

Makes no sense. These RINO hacks continue to trip over themselves to denounce real conservatives, real Americans.

They should check youtube for yesterday’s rally - the biggest applause went to Levin, not any of these P*****s

Hey Eric.

If you, or someone on your staff, have a look here I'd just like you guys to know that this FReeper is with Rush. Just leave us alone. (And if no one in your office is checking us out, WTF is the matter with you?)

Dittos! He is also a tad effeminate and wimpy. He gained prominence after the Drill Here, Drill Now ‘debate’, but he is clearly not all he was cracked up to be at the time....lol.

Once in a while, Eric Cantor has to genuflect before the lords of political correctness. But the only thing that matters to me is how he votes. And how does he vote? His American Conservative Union rating is 96. That’s conservative enough for me.

Cantor defended Snowe, saying she “is talking to Democrats the way she does a lot, the way we all do.” The House and Senate, Cantor said, are “plagued by a political mandate” from Democrats. “The only time that you would have a chance to get an insertion in the bill is to talk to a Democrat.”

Egads these people are idiots. Did it ever occur to Cantor that perhaps the Democrats won't really insert anything in the bill unless they 1) feel that it's harmless or 2) they can negate it some other way? And, if you don't "insert" anything you're not obligated to vote for it.

This is about as stupid as Lindsey Graham saying that if he votes for Cap-n-Trade, he believes the Democrats will look at drilling.
