As I said on several other endorsement threads, we can’t assume that people giving these endorsements have the same information people here have or are using the same issues. Cantor may not have 40 hours a week to dig into all of Romney’s flip flops and only has to go on what Romney is portraying now.
It is why people shouldn’t base their votes on endorsements (albeit, if you are endorsed by groups like the Taliban, NOW, the KKK etc, that is another story) but on their own values.
I'll vote on Super Tuesday (Gingrich) but I do not expect to vote in November. The GOP isn't worth my time.
Not surprised. That is why some of us here were saying way before the Republican Nomination race even started, maybe it was better to just fashion a brand new grassroots, anti-establishment Conservative/Constitutionalist/Tea Alternative Party and start from one year ago to ballot qualify nationwide and run a name brand Conservative leader as its standard bearer, rather than trying to change things this year in 2012 from within the Republican Party, hoping somehow THIS year would be different and we could overturn the old order and get away from the “coronation of a moderate” such as for Bush, Dole and McCain and now Romney, under their hopeleslsy rigged establishment system. We may have lost a lot of time we could have otherwise used to construct an infrastructure. Now we are liable to be stuck with Romney and I know many, many of us will be down-ticketers and will not vote for that guy, nor further enable the Republican Party Establishment.
This shouldn’t really surprise anyone.
Cantor sold out a long time ago.
All the dominos will begin to fall, especially if Romney wins Ohio. If that happens, it is over.
Who ever thought he wouldn’t endorse Mitt?
No surprise there ...the Va GOP is loaded w/”country club” conservatives like Cantor ...always has been!
Had these people lived at the time of the American Revolution, they would have sided w/the third of the colonists who were Tories. They are motivated by wealth and power; any other aspects of Conservatism are irrelevant to them.
Why you mean Eric Cantor is not for his House colleague, Dr. Paul??? Shocked, shocked, schocked
Send a message vote Newt! these turncoats need to know who’s boss. Let Newt be the peoples candidate
The GOP faction of the BOHICA Party rears its ugly head. Let’s face it, the GOP does not want Conservatives. The GOP is hell-bent on shoving yet another moderate down our throats, who will go down in flames again and we will have four more years of 0bambi.
Remember Cantor whipped TARP, it would never have passed without his support.
Cantor tweeted: “I am endorsing @MittRomney for President of the United States, because he is the only candidate with a bold pro-growth, pro-jobs plan.”
To which I relied: “@EricCantor You’re wrong, Congressman - Reagan Economists: Newt’s Economic Plan Is the Most Pro-Growth, bit.ly/wIBkfO #Newt2012 #Jobs”
WOW! Now there is a surprise.I just did not see that coming./s
I've been waiting for Eric to tell me who to vote for!
Or have I?
I have had Cantor pegged as a RINO for a long time now. He’s my Congressman but neither my wife or I vote for him.
Cantor, McCain and Barbour were three of four ‘Republicans’ who had ‘a plan’ set up for the country, said ‘plan’ specifics taken down immediately following the 2010 elections.
How much lucre did it take, Cantor? What was your price?
We have known this for a long time.
“””Cantor did his best to block the effects of the 2010 conservative election victory, and to block the tea party in the congress, and he is a backer of Mitt Romney.
Cantor is part of that enemy tribe of anti-conservative rinos that has been uncovered since 2008 and especially in the 2010 election and it’s aftermath.
Cantor threw his support behind Scazzafava, against Palin, and for Mitt Romney, and against Bachmann for house power, after the 2010 win.
Cantor is the problem, not part of the solution.
