Cantor is a wuss... much like the majority of the RINO’s and GOP gang in DC——save for a select few!

Cantor appears to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Earlier I thought he was politically tone deaf ~ a bad trait in a professional politician.

We'll see how well he can do over the next few months, but he's still on my short list of politicians to tune out.

In agree, I’ve been very disappointed in him over the past 15 months. The guy I’m watching for from the House is Paul Ryan. Cantor’s been exposed as an overcalculating, finger-to-the-wind establishment guy.

He flat out dumped on her, Cantor just declared war with conservatives.

He’s doing the equivalent of wet finger in the air. He’s just waiting to see whether Sarah is going to fly or fall.

Wrong tactic, I’m sure.

Don’t know if he’s gay, but his nose seemed to grow after every answer he gave.
And this is part of the GOP leadership team that will bring in a fresh new GOP majority.
Good luck with this long nosed clown.

He’s either for us or against us. I am sick of anyone who will either not say Sarah’s qualified or will say she isn’t qualified. Stand up or you won’t be counted. I will not vote for a fence straddler.

Anyone who’s seen Obama in action should not concern themselves too much with Palin or practically any other potential candidate’s qualifications. What everyone needs to pay attention to is the candidate’s positions and whether they have any to begin with. It’s reasonable to be suspicious of someone who comes off as a rich elitist Yaley, a Christianity-averse snot with a past history of radical leftism, but don’t be too quick to put a crown on the next person who claims to be a conservative and just seems just like you. Politicians shouldn’t be awarded power simply because of their perceived good character. No one can get on in life simply by being a good judge of character. That’s a good strategy for getting screwed repeatedly.

Look at the video again. It appears that Cantor thought he was being asked a question about Haley Barbour being quealified to be president.

Watch the video again. It appears that he thought the question was about Haley Barbour.

He did seem to try to condemn her by comparison with Barbour: “Now Barbour is an example of someone who by contrast is smart and is a leader...”

Question: The Haley Barbour question, is she qualified to be president, yes or no?

Cantor’s answer: Haley Barbour is um, he, he is an expert, that guy is one of the smartest people that I know, and he is a real leader.

Questioner: And he didn’t answer the question (laughing).

Cantor’s answer: Smiling (in affirmative) silence.

What happened to the Great American Listening Tour? Canter, Jeb Bush, Romney. One time, lame strip mall Pizza joint, staff and a few reporters.

Then, nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada.

Lame. Pathetic. Cowardly. Processed. Bleached.

Nooooooo, Free Reign. Eric was not referring to Haley Barbour, he was AGREEING with Haley Barbour's suggestion that Palin isn't qualified! He was dodging Geraldo's questions about Palin from the beginning by beating aroundt he bush and saying things like "what makes Palin great is that she can have everything and do everything." He didn't have the nerve or class to admit that she is a substantive and formidable politician on the merits of her experience, leadership, and views. I hope Palin is paying attention to her non-supporters like Cantor. He won't be getting my vote for anything in the future!
