Cantor voted yes to this monstrosity of a bill. I’ve lost complete respect for him. Every year he sponsors a “Republican Round up” in Richmond, VA. Every year my family and I go. Not this year. It’ll be interesting to see how it does go this year.
It contained what he & Boehner had said from the beginning they wanted...no tax hikes and cuts equal to the amount of debt hike.
Don't know if you knew that's what he said he wanted from the beginning.
Cantor and SOH Bonehead and any Republican in either house who voted for this massive tax hike and spending orgy needs to be thrown out of office. The list of RINOs who agreed with the muslim in our White House should be our list of turncoats to be removed from office . . . Cantor, Bonehead, LaTourette, Portman, and anyone else on the Yea list.
It seems to me that Cantor and the Republicans are the ones in over their heads, judging from the comment “we didn’t want to go past Aug. 2 because of the unknown”"
They let themselves be scared by the 'unknown' boogeyman should the debt ceiling be hit. They might as well just acknowledge that they will never ever let it be hit, as they are too scared to be adults and address the problem of living within our means.
The other explanation is that they know what would happen, but they fear that it would result in net positive gains for the Democrats. Which again says that they are out of their depth when fighting the Democrats.
If Cantor doesn't think he can win, he should step down and let somebody else play for his side who does. Cantor might be a very smart guy, but if you avoid every battle you think you might lose, the enemy quickly learns how to frighten you away from every battle.
