Cantor Scolds Committee Chairmen (Pork-Laden Farm Bill)
National Review Online ^ | July 8, 2013 | Robert Costa

In a tense, closed-door meeting today at the Capitol, House majority leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.) scolded several Republican committee chairmen for voting against the farm bill that failed to pass the House last month.

According to several sources, Cantor told the chairmen it was “unacceptable” for them to not vote together on final passage, especially since the leadership supported their amendments to the agricultural package.

Near the end, Cantor coolly reminded them that the leadership is much more likely to usher their bills to the floor if they stick with him on votes.

What he is saying is that they bought the votes and then didn’t get them.

Cantor reminded them that they filled the thing with pork and then got turned down.

How can they expect to ass anything if the party will not stay bought?

RE :”Expect more of this kind of scolding when Boehner finally sneaks the House immigration bill through...”

Exactly,
watch how this plays out. The House will pass a farm bill and it will be loaded with crap. Lets see how Bohner and Cantor do it.

Cantor and Ryan are my most hated pretend-conservatives.
