Eric Cantor knew before the election about Patraeus Scandal - Did not go public

A week before the election, an FBI whistleblower went to a Republican member of Congress with explosive details about a national security scandal that could have stopped President Obama’s re-election campaign dead in its tracks. But the potentially devastating “October Surprise” was hushed up by Republicans.

Although all the details are not yet available and new disclosures are coming every day, it appears that the scandal involves the CIA director leaking classified information to his mistress and the FBI not holding David Petraeus accountable for his immoral and illegal conduct. In short, it is the worst scandal of the Obama Administration and makes the third-rate burglary in the Watergate scandal look minor by comparison.

Patraeus will testify and say exactly what the Kenyan has told him to say or he’ll be charged with passing classified information to that gal he was messing with. No way he implicates the Kenyan wonderboy. Some one in the CIA will probably be the fall guy, but not Patraeus.

How about firing Cantor's sorry ass.

Why?

You think Cantor's blowing the whistle on an extramarital affair would have made a difference? He heard about the affair, not any dirt on why Obama let people die.

I don't agree with you.

Seriously, is there anyone here that thinks the singular political party in the U.S. is actually TWO parties?

We've been 'had' for many years now.

Isn't it just AMAZING that the undecipherable, ever-changing rules of our primary system ALWAYS gives us a RINO that nobody wants?

On top of that, our RINOs do absolutely nothing to fight the massive voter fraud being perpetrated against us in this 'modern' day. An outsider would think that they are all in it together.

Iraq had a more secure election process than we have.

Mitt 'RINO' Romney stomped Obama's ass into the ground this election but the 'official' numbers damn sure don't show it.

Sick doesn't even begin to tell how I feel.

” - - - two Republican members of Congress, Dave Reichert and Eric Cantor, decided to pass on the information to the FBI director and take no action themselves. They didn’t even inform their colleagues on the House Intelligence Committee or in the House leadership. It was a terrible mistake on their part that enabled Obama to escape the damaging repercussions of the scandal right before what many conservatives called the most important presidential election of our lifetimes. - - - “

Both of these wimpy RINOs are guilty of failing to be a check and balance to corruption in our Federal Government.

Both should resign, as they are useless in The US House.

BTW, anybody know what Dave Reichert has done in Congress?

Sadly that also confirms my fear about him that he was too nice a guy for the task at hand.

We needed Newt. There is hardly anything nice about him. The GOPe would not allow us that.

NEWT

Our “inside trader politicians” have been co-opted, end of story.

Those may still come out, assuming the government/media coverup doesn't hold.

FBI is led by Holder. Holder is STILL not being held accountable by the media at large for Fast & Furious. Obama misused Executive Privilege to protect Holder on that one and NO outcry from Republicans in Washington about that misuse. Even in an interview with Hannity yesterday, Graham's "harsh words" were backed up with this little beauty, "Sean, I am 57. I can argue with President Obama on Friday and then work with him on Monday." I wish they would just declare allegiance to the Democrat Party and get out of the way, because they simply will not fight.

Obama’s campaign was much better than Obama.

BULLS__T!! Obama's campaign SUCKED! He sucked in the first debate, he was hostile in the second debate and Romney did not go in for the kill in the third debate on Foreign Policy. Biden looked like a jackass in his debate. Romney's rally crowds were bigger and Obama even sounded defeated in his last few campaign stops. AND even the MSM admitted that the plan that Obama presented after the third debate was NO DIFFERENT than the past four years!!

Obama won because we have STUPID VOTERS in this country coupled with those who just couldn't vote for him as a protest vote. Well that protest vote just got us SOCIALISM as far as the eye can see.

Completely agree. Republican Party headquarters in every city, county and state need their own thorough housecleaning. We must show up in groups not just individuals and take them over.

You obviously don't get my post.

I agree that Obama sucked in the debates, so did Biden.

Re-read my post. It means that the Obama campaign (ground game, demonizing Romney, friendly media) outperformed Romney's campaign.

OK?
