The central figures in the David Petraeus sex scandal are not talking. That includes Virginia Congressman and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Yet, the decision by this top Republican to turn to the FBI rather than his colleagues in the House with inside information about the scandal has proven to be monumental, a development that enabled Barack Obama to win the presidency without getting tainted by the allegations of immorality and corruption that are now the subject of daily news reports. Eric_Cantor_official_portrait_112th_CongressThe record shows that Cantor had knowledge of the affair from an FBI whistleblower before the election but decided not to go public with the allegations of high-level misconduct by the CIA director. He stayed silent as Obama campaigned for re-election as a foreign policy statesman and efficient manager of America’s national security interests.

...guess that’s why there are so many well-to-do tailors in the DC area.... continual zipper failure.
For some time I’ve thought that Cantor seemed like a pretty good guy—until the pressure is on, and then he quietly vanishes.
At least, that’s my impression.
Put away the tin foil hats and let's focus on winning the senate and keeping the house in 2014.
Not to make excuses for Cantor here but one has to ask....if he knew before the election, what was the upside for him talking about it?
What was the downside? I think the downside for Cantor was considerable. He would be painted as a heretic or worse for attacking our wonderful pResident. He was a liar etc. you know the drill.
It’s hard to get inside somebody’s head on things like this. Maybe they have something on Cantor....who knows.
Why does almost everyone?
Cantor has some serious explaining to do. I believe he has been elected minority whip, and this calls his party loyalty into question, as well as his patriotism.
Well, you may have something there. Good point. And, of course, the real scandal remains Benghazigate, anyway, not Petraeus’s sex life.
They are all scumbags.
Another victim of shriveled nutsack syndrome.
A lot of Republican politicians have it.
Highly contagious.
Another Republicrat protecting a fellow Democan.
The greatest threat to our freedoms is Congress. All evil flows from there. They deserve to be in jail, every one without exception. They are the largest conglomeration of liars, perverts, thieves, child abusers and addicts ever assembled.
Cantor did the right thing, he couldn’t know that this might impact the election.
He got a tip and turned it over to the FBI.
Heck, Cantor could have been being set up himself.
This criticism makes no sense to me.
He got a tip and turned it over to the FBI, like he should have.
Heck, Cantor could have been being set up himself.
Why Did Cantor Protect Obama? Perhaps he didn’t care for his own trysts to become public.
Occam’s Razor.
You must be joking! Cantor and all Repubs hould have use any and all material to sink Obama before the election! Just keep throwing of his own crap at him...some of it will stick.
What was Cantor thinking??
Waaas this the deciding factor in the electon? No of coursen not. But this combined with all the stupic Repub errors (hello Gov. Cristie!!) sure helped to toss the Narcisist-in-Chief over the goal.
To All,
Sorry for the typos! That’s the result of posting after a 16 hour work day (and getting paid for only 8 hours——thank you Dear Leader)
