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.

The tin-ears and hypocrisy of these backstabbing GOP-E hacks is astounding.

[BenLurkin]

No matter how much The Party of Government tried to rewrite the American political lexicon — “kitchen table” issues will always trace back to the problems exacerbated by too many taxes, and too many laws.

First off, none of these idiots have balls end of story

[RKBA Democrat]

Eric the weasel can KMA. Moreso since I’ve never been a member of the gop wing of the uniparty.

“If we want to win, we must begin to offer solutions to the problems that people face every day,”

The only solution I want is less government. It is real simple. Cut spending. Cut taxes (actually fix the tax code with a Fair Tax or Flat Tax) Cut agencies. Cut regulations. Do those things and a sleeping giant will be unleashed.

Leaders lead, con-artists will tell you just what you want to hear.

[1010RD]

Mike Lee and Rand Paul have both been on this same message - conservative/libertarian populism. It hits on the basic themes Democrats use and turns them against Dems. I mean they’ve made everything worse. This is a winning strategy.

[Da Coyote]

Stick a fork in the GOP (and you, Cantor).

You all are done.

All that is left is the burial.

You will never again get my vote.

His 25-minute speech came during the annual three-day Republican Party of Virginia "Advance."

"Advance" = Forward.

The tin-ears and hypocrisy of these backstabbing GOP-E hacks is astounding.

Thinking the microphone was off, Uncle Eric said, "Well, that oughtta hold the little b@$#@^&s!"

You reap what you sow, should be what is said back to the “useful idiots”

[PeteB570]

Somebody needs to tell the dude that after the primaries we’ll support their candidates that win if they will support our candidates who win.

We all know what their answer will be “That will be a cold day.........”

“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.”

[CPT Clay]

Ok No Amnesty first though.

[DaveA37]

“If we want to win, we must begin to offer solutions to the problems that people face every day,” .......

If the repubs keep doing what theyhave been doing and expecting different results, all is lost. Repubs MUST grow some ganodes and go back to being conservatives. Most importanly, if the current repubs cannot see the forest for the trees, the voters will show them at the next election.

(I wish they would read FreeRepublic and get the message the people are sending, they certainly are NOT getting it from the media.)

[Diogenesis]

The RINO fool is in the House ... and has control,
but lamely says he does not, as allows the
destruction of America.

[867V309]

First off, none of these idiots have balls end of story

First off, they're not idiots. They're elites living high on our money.

Second off, they have balls: see first off.

Third off, the problem with the US Government is not the Dumbocraps. It is the Republicans = fake opposition.

[ncalburt]

This amnesty traitor apparently conspired with a employed consultant named Allen who jump ship from his office to work for the McAwful campaign to defeat Ken C. and just hired him back!

That tells us all the length the Evil Gop Rove robots will do to destroy any true conservative !

Cantor needs to be primaried and removed !

!

[Tuketu]

GOP, hah. They are listening to their top 100 donors on the Immigration crap. Hope the GOP can win with 100 votes. I will only vote for Tea Party endorsed candidates this time.

Hopefully the McCainiacs and others of the same ilk are on the way out. Even my Sen Rubio has piped down on the Immigration. Cruz hurt Rubio's chances for a Pres run. I'd bet dollars to donuts that Rubio was promised a VP slot if he was part of the Gang of 8 that listened to the Gang of 100. Rubio should have stayed out of that crap as we all knew his Immigration story and he should have been thankful he was elected to a Senate seat.

[grania]

The "clear principles" the Republicans need to focus on are defending the constitution of the US and defending our borders and ending the invasion of the US. They could also consider fullfilling the campaign promises they make to sucker constitutional conservatives into voting for them.

These has-beens are delusional.
