Don’t let the door hit ya.
Here is an old post on Cantor.
“Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava, who backs abortion rights and has voiced support for gay rights, has drawn a challenger from the right who is running on the Conservative Party line. And though House leaders have urged conference members to donate, many have pointedly refused to back Scozzafava.
The Club for Growth, Concerned Women of America, former Sen. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.) and evangelical leader Gary Bauer have all endorsed Doug Hoffman, the Conservative Party candidate.
The divide could foreshadow bigger troubles ahead for a party that hopes to make big gains in the House in 2010 and dreams of taking back the majority. Some members think that will be impossible as long as the party is divided over supporting centrist candidates.

Just 17 members — about 10 percent of the GOP conference — have written checks to Scozzafava’s campaign. They include House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.), National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Chairman Pete Sessions (Texas) and Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who is in charge of recruiting candidates to run next year.

In an effort to prove Scozzafava can attract conservatives, Sessions pushed Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) to step up and endorse her. After his announcement, Hensarling took shots from some prominent conservative blogs and media outlets, with some going so far as to lob unfounded charges about Hensarling’s personal life.

Hensarling declined to be interviewed about his endorsement of Scozzafava. A spokesman said he had nothing to add to his statement, issued last Friday.

Wednesday night, most of the House GOP leadership, including Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy, Sessions, conference Vice Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (Wash.) and conference Secretary John Carter (Texas) hosted a fundraiser for Scozzafava at the home of ex-Rep. Nancy Johnson (R-Conn.).”
There was also some RINO-backed shenanigans where Cantor and his crew kept Morton Blackwell’s conservative, Young Republicans he brought in from the Leadership Institute penned up in the bus and refused to let them vote on the floor at the convention. They got their revenge today.
Greed has no party affiliation or loyalty. Soros money indeed. You should be ashamed Eric Cantor.
I remember that most recent slap in our Tea Party faces from Cantor. “How Do You Like Me Now, Eric?”
‘Makes Bratts win even sweeter. I guess eric can always lobby for LaRaz now.
Sadly, many who wear the Jewish label are virtually JINOs. They don’t really take much of a stand for God and His Word; they are far left libs politically, they vote with the democRATS almost exclusively, and the majority of them don’t give a damn about Israel or the outrageous treatment they’re getting from the Obunga regime! IMHO.
Eric, if you lie with a conservative hating dog (Soros)... you’ll wake up with a flea (Brat). You did and now Brat’ll take your seat, because he knows what Americans want.
