Eric Cantor calls for GOP unity
Politico ^ | December 7, 2013 | JAMES HOHMANN

Posted on 12/08/2013 5:41:24 AM PST by Timber Rattler

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor pleaded for Republican unity here Saturday as he prodded his party to offer more solutions that make voters feel like they have their backs on “kitchen table” issues.

The congressman, who represents a district around Richmond, told about 500 party activists during a lunch at The Homestead resort that the GOP does not need to compromise its core principles.

“If we want to win, we must begin to offer solutions to the problems that people face every day,” he said. “We have not done this recently and it has allowed the Democrats to take power, it has allowed them to pursue their politics of partisan division, and even worse … it has allowed them to enact their leftist agenda.”

(snip)

“If we show them we’re with them, we can win elections,” he said.

OPEN NOT TO ERIC CANTOR....

Pay more attention to the message from the conservative base.

Political success is more the a five second sound-bite.

There is more to life than being a talking head for the Sunday-morning puppet masters.

The first act in promoting unity is for you
Cantor and boner to step down. Do not fall for their lies. They are worried.

here is one way to help the base and there are many many more like it.

Close the damn border like you said you would. this would help the voter like this:

Prevent ID theft by foreigners
Stop smuggling
help prevent terrorist from coming over the border
Lower the cost of medical care for border states
Reduce the risk of third world disease from getting into the USA
Reduce crime from criminals who break the laws to get here
Reduce unemployment by removing criminals who take our jobs

And the list goes on and on. Problem is these hacks won't listen to the conservative base which offers real solutions for the voters.

The GOPe is pretty much like the Dims. Party unity to them means we have to agree with the GOPe.

To that, I say, NO, NO, A THOUSAND TIMES, NO.

To hell with the “republican” party that Cantor is so concerned about.

I want representatives who are more concerned with the future and preservation of our Constitutional REPUBLIC!

Can't wait for the calls from the RNC for money start up again...

ME: Either you or please have someone call me back and tell me why the party did not support Cuccinelli for governor of my neighboring commonwealth, Virginia. If the explanation makes sense to me, I will be happy to contribute. Otherwise...GET OFF MY PHONE.

The government “fixes” the economy like the vet “fixes” Fido, both end up ball-less.
