Now out of office, Eric Cantor feels free to be himself; this’ll make you glad he’s gone
Coach is Right ^ | 1/12/15 | Kevin "Coach" Collins

Last June in the run up to a primary he was so sure he would win, former Obama water boy Eric Cantor didn’t bother to campaign. He had told his liars about being a warrior against illegal aliens polluting America and decided to merely wait in Washington for word of his victory. That didn’t happen. He was crushed by a TEA party candidate.

When he got his head handed to him Cantor was shocked and acted contrite. That was his act then; but now free to be his real self he is taking some very different positions. As a Wall Street investment banker he is saying the things the people who pay his handsome salary want to hear. They THINK they WANT illegal aliens swarming over our borders and they think Obamacare is working just fine so Cantor says he supports Barack Obama on both issues.

He is telling his old comrades in Congress that he is worried they will waste their new power “re-litigating” Obamacare and Obama’s illegal amnesty order and opposing his efforts to regulate climate change.” Cantor thinks opposing Obama on these all-out assaults on American liberty does a disservice to us. He’s that smug.

Reminding us that he never really was one of us, this nervy little twerp calls for Congressional Republicans to “come together” with Barack Obama to “focus on areas where they agree and where progress can be made.” Honestly, he really said that.

His contempt for our intelligence is so deep he recommends Republicans focus on...

We don’t know that these are his REAL feelings either. He’s a politician which means he’s a prostitute who parrots whatever his current john wants him to say.

Ironic that he was beaten by a guy named Brat.

You gotta love God's sense of humor.

Cantor no doubt already started applying for a job as a lobbyist the second he got primaried.

Ditto. All we know is that he will say whatever he thinks will get him in the best possible situation for him.

To my shame, I once thought this man might be presidential material.

That’s disgusting seeing this guy go after the exact same things that the voters said NO on. I thought there was a law or one in the works that would restrict lobbying for those leaving an elected position. If there isn’t,there sure needs to be. There’s a word for guys like Cantor,but not a polite one.

My wife likes to read historical fiction and biographies of real people in late 18th century France. In all of the stories, real and “could have happened”, the most striking common element is the blindness of the people at or near the top who had the most to lose, often comically so. I see the same happening now.

I got flamed for suggesting that influence peddling was wrong,back when Cantor hired on to the firm.

His wife is a lobbyist for the chamber of commerce. That alone tells where he will be post-Congressional career.

First time I saw him so many years ago, I thought he was creepy and a RAT. He’s done nothing to change that impression.
