Rep. Eric Cantor Says He Does Not Want Obama to Fail - Video 3/1/09
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | March 2, 2009 | BrianinMO

Posted on 03/02/2009 6:59:10 AM PST by Federalist Patriot

Here is video of GOP Congressman Eric Cantor on This Week with George Stephanopoulos yesterday, where Cantor said he did not agree with Rush Limbaugh's hope that President Obama "fail." In fact, Cantor flatly said if he agreed with Limbaugh, "George, absolutely not. I don't think anyone wants anything to fail right now....."

Once again, a GOP leader had the chance to hammer home the principles Limbaugh set forth in his outstanding CPAC speech, and they fumbled the ball. Of course Cantor wants Obama to fail in his push to turn America into a European-style Socialist nation! It's time for Republican leaders to be direct about the truth and stop trying to please the liberal media. . . . . (Watch Video)

I want Obomba to fail miserably in everything he undertakes.

He, to me anyway, is a non-person who crawled through the DC sewer system to find candidates for his administration.

He, like the Clinton Duo, is a bottom feeding carp that sucks up fish defecation for nourishment and hurries about his business of destroying this nation.

“George, absolutely not. I don’t think anyone wants anything to fail right now.....”

Weak kneed, limp wristed, metrosexual looking RINO.

NO BALLS.

Good to find out now. Weed ‘em out!

Dang - I had started to like Eric Cantor and saw him as a future prospect for the recovery of conservatism.

Back to the drawing board.

Cantor said he doesn’t want anything to fail right now? I could never vote for this man. Cantor is just a rhino being a rhino. That’s what they do.

Let’s see how the others react to the same question,”do you agree with Rush Limbaugh wanting obama to fail?” “What do you think motivated Rush to voice this opinion?”

Get active in your local districts.

Republicans continue to work hard at earning the moniker “stupid party”. They won’t get back in power by licking Obama’s boots. Rahm Emanuel must be laughing himself to sleep every night. He’s played the entire Republican leadership for fools.

With mushmouthed leaders like Cantor there is no hope for the Republican Party. I would suggest that many Republicans would do well to read a history on the founding of the Republican Party itself. The success of a third party in the eighteen fifties seemed no more likely than the success of a third party today. However, Conservatives know: IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE.

The fair haired new face of the GOP fumbled the ball pretty quickly. Many felt he had great potential to bring the Party back to 1994 type glory. He, Steele and Jindal have all stumbled badly.

Yeah, a RINO with the most conservative voting record in the House. 100% ACU rating.

The video is a trick question taken out of context.

The only issue is that Cantor should have said “I don’t agree with the premise of your question.”

Cantor is not a RINO. He has 100% ACU rating.

It’s a trick question taken out of context to attack a great conservatrive.

He hardly 'cowered'. As your rep you know, or should know, he is a solid conservative. He used to be mine, (I've sinced moved into Forbes' dist.), and it's clearly evident as to why he always wins elections with 60-70% of the popular vote.
Rush may very well bring this up this afternoon. I sure hope he does.

This entire story is false-flag propagando from the Dims.

It’s debunked here by the original poster:

The entire story has been debunked.

It’s an attempt to harm a Republcian with a 100% ACU rating — most conservative voting record in the House.

How many of these politicians are just plain stupid?

I think many of them are idiot savants of electioneering but that is it.

they can’t ballance a check book, go grocery shopping, or do any everyday stuff. They can’t even conceive it.

WE should just give real life encounter stories with some of these congressional idiots. HECK how about the idiots fo the reporting class?

That blank look on there faces is not telepropter eyes, it is all nobody home eyes.

Allegra, the story has been debunked.

Stephie lied to Cantor and Cantor (stupidly) took Stephie at his word. It was a clear false-flag attempt to get conservatives to eat their own.

The only thing Cantor did wrong is not say “I think you’re lying again, Stephie, Rush didn’t say that.”

If you are not going to watch the unedited video, at least read the thread.

Takes more than voting to lead. He was looked to to be a up and coming leader. Enough of the self defeating RINOs.
