Eric Cantor calls for GOP unity
Politico ^ | December 7, 2013 | JAMES HOHMANN

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor pleaded for Republican unity here Saturday as he prodded his party to offer more solutions that make voters feel like they have their backs on “kitchen table” issues.

The congressman, who represents a district around Richmond, told about 500 party activists during a lunch at The Homestead resort that the GOP does not need to compromise its core principles.

“If we want to win, we must begin to offer solutions to the problems that people face every day,” he said. “We have not done this recently and it has allowed the Democrats to take power, it has allowed them to pursue their politics of partisan division, and even worse … it has allowed them to enact their leftist agenda.”

“If we show them we’re with them, we can win elections,” he said.

His actions don’t match up with what is often said about him on FR.

That is because Cantor is repping Wall Street and not Main Street inside the beltway.

No, it means he’s targeted by FINOs, as are any other Pubbies who voted in favor of the War On Terror. The pretexts and excuses vary, but it all comes down to that.

Any other freepers there at the Homestead this weekend besides myself? I always love the Homestead, especially at Christmas. We were all unified behind our ticket — where were the RINOs?

“Unity”?

Maybe he should tell that to McConnell who is at war with the conservative base
