First of all, most of your links were from 2008, when Cantor was being mentioned as a possible McCain VP pick. One was from 2010, when the Tea Party gave the GOP the majority and Cantor decided to run for Majority Leader. Cantor was a backbencher until then, little known inside or outside of Virginia.

Here's the closest thing to "worship" that I found from a female FReeper, who admires Cantor's appearance:

He's hawt. ;^)

That's it. Find me worship. You're making the charge, it's not my job to document your insinuations. I knew your charge of worship was false, because FReepers are Democrats and don't look to politicians for salvation. FReepers look to self-reliance and for politicians and government to get the heck out of the way. There's no worship of politicians here, troll.

Here's some more comments I picked out from comments in your links:

Yep. He fights. A good bold choice, hope McCain makes it

You mean Eric “little piggy” Cantor? The same Eric Cantor who refused to back eliminating earmarks?

I like Cantor, but I think he is too wonky to be leader.

He also supported the bank bail-out, which I can fogive, but it makes him suspect.

Remember these are from 2008 and 2010. We're not allowed to learned anything more in the 6 years this guy's been majority leader? Obviously, this is the period when he's had influence, power and made news. The consensus is that Cantor sucks based on his actions.

Cantor's latest campaign is really showing what a measerable weasel he is. I'm convinced he had his friend Congressman Gutierrez come in and hold a rally against him accusing him of blocking amnesty to HELP him with his voters. Cantor's internal polling must be showing he's getting killed on the illegal invasion issue.

...because FReepers are Democrats..."

Oops, I meant NOT Democrats. Government is the religion of Democrats and they need gods and pick saviors from among the politicians, which they then worship. There's a famous book by a former communist, The God that Failed.

FReepers are constitutional conservatives, who see a role for limited government which allows maximum freedom for individuals, families and institutions to make there way as best as they can. Worship of politicians does not come into it at all.
