Rep. Eric Cantor (Dem-Lite) In Trouble

No, he’s not in trouble from that freak show shit-for-brains Democrat, Mike Dickinson, Richard Nixon could rise from the dead and beat that half-wit buffoon, he’s in trouble with Republicans, and I sure as hell hope Republicans are not forgiving.

Let’s be clear. Eric Cantor is the problem, not the solution. He needs to come out of the closet, admit he’s a Democrat, and switch party’s. The big tent is full.

Eric Cantor has never been closer to wielding the speaker’s gavel, but he may want to keep an eye over his right shoulder.

As speculation heats up about whether Speaker John Boehner will return in 2015, Cantor is in the midst of a kind of shadow job interview with House conservatives, and it isn’t going all that well.

Cantor recently enraged many Republicans by sneaking a Medicare bill through the House by voice vote. Days later, a provision in the bill that expanded Obamacare coverage became public, prompting high-profile scrutiny from the Drudge Report. Making matters worse, Boehner had been out of town for the vote, putting blame for the incident squarely on Cantor’s shoulders.

The Virginia Republican also drew flak for attending a tropical summit organized by a group working to undermine the Tea Party. ForAmerica President Brent Bozell described the move in a phone interview as providing “aid and comfort to an organization devoted to destroying the Tea Party.”

“It is betrayal. It’s also monumentally stupid,” Bozell added.

Weeks before that, he partnered with Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) on a flood insurance bill, ignoring the concerns of the House committee chairman who had just donated $1 million to the NRCC and happens to be Cantor’s most formidable would-be rival for the speakership.

It may very well be an interesting vote for Speaker in 2015.

Hmmmmm - - - ?

Will Doormat Republican Cantor keep his new nickname of “Sneaky?”

Lemme see - - - :
* Eric “Sneaky” Cantor;
* Eric “The House Sneak” Cantor;
* “Sneaky” Eric C.

Sure looks like Boehner is grooming the right replacement to replace him as another Obama-friendly Speaker of the US House of Representatives!

MOVE ON!
FORWARD!

("Party's"? Gosh, the writer of this piece is almost illiterate. Let's not play into the establishment elitists' image of grassroots conservatives as ignorant rubes!)

Don't particularly like Cantor, but let's call a spade a spade. He's NOT a Democrat, he's GOP Establishment with a capital "E." He thinks by serving as Boehner's top lapdog, he'll inherit the Speaker's chair when Boehner moves out in one way or another. But there's a potential downside to that: if Boehner were to be overthrown by his own caucus, Cantor (and McCarthy) will probably go tumbling out of the leadership with him.

Now all of a sudden Cantor thinks he might be in some trouble in his primary, so he's attacking a primary opponent he was previously ignoring. Looks like Karl Rove might be advising him.

B. Hussein Obama has faithfully carried out his pledge to “Fundamentally transform the United States of America,” while our sorry Doormat Republicans in the US Congress are STILL amazed, surprised, shocked or in Boehner’s case, ‘sad’ that B. Hussein is doing exactly what he promised to do AFTER >5 VERY LONG YEARS of Obamanation!

Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy, Ryan, Issa, Mike Rogers, King of NY are just a few of the US House members who have refused to hold the Democrat Obama Administration accountable for their destructive actions.

There has never been a more corrupt administration more deserving of US House Special Prosecutor Investigations than the Democrat Obama administration.

Thus, Speaker Boehner has been derelict in his duties to his office as Speaker of the US House of Representatives, PERIOD.

US House Speaker Boehner and right hand men Cantor and McCarthy need to be voted out of their Obama-friendly “leadership” positions ASAP by the US House Members.

2014 is our opportunity to rid Congress of as many Doormat Republicans as possible so that we Conservatives can take back our Nation instead of waiting for the “Doormat to Democrats” Republicans to behave as if they really wanted to work FOR our Republic.

Does anyone know if Professor Brat has any kind of financial support?
