ONE LOCAL pol whose name has not been mentioned could make the perfect running mate -- for Republican John McCain.
Rep. Eric Cantor is 44. McCain is 71.
As a member of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, Cantor brings the clout and experience on economic and tax issues that many believe McCain lacks. He was a businessman before being elected to the House in 2000 and has been an eloquent spokesman for pro-growth policies ever since.
Cantor would energize economic conservatives in a way that McCain has not, and he possesses the skill and expertise to attack the Democrats' high tax, anti-trade, big government platform as precisely the wrong medicine for a struggling economy. (His wife, Diana, also plays in the financial major leagues, serving for more than a decade as executive director of the Virginia College Savings Plan. She is currently a member of the Board of Directors of Media General, which owns this newspaper.)
As the Republican chief deputy whip in the House, Cantor is one of the youngest members of the congressional leadership. And in this year of group firsts, Cantor would be the first Jewish nominee on a national Republican ticket.
His consistent, staunch defense of Israel's interests could strengthen McCain's already respectable standing among traditionally Democratic Jewish voters, many of whom are growing nervous about Obama's pastor's embrace of the anti-Semitic Louis Farrakhan. Jimmy Carter's get-together with Hamas terrorists offered another reminder that left-wing Democrats often lend tepid support to Israel.
The congressman from Richmond would keep Virginia and Florida in the GOP column and could help McCain in Northeastern states, such as New Jersey, where the Arizona senator appears to be running better than recent Republican presidential candidates.

You have a truly bizarre recollection, madam. Fact is, months ago your fellow *omneybot trolls were swarming this site, as they currently are, and were viciously attacking the mods, Jim Robinson, and other posters in good standing. I unapologetically stood up to them and as a result, many were banned from this website. The problem you have with me is that I refuse to swallow the Kool-aid and revisionist history surrounding your candidate. I stand with JimRob in his assessment of the man. I think YOU owe me an apology for maligning me with your above comments, madam.
Governor Romney, like Ronald Reagan and many other national leaders had public changes of heart about abortion during the courses of their political careers. He is not the first nor will he be the last to see the black entity which is abortion.
I have never heard Mitt spew vicious names against anyone who dislikes him. Unlike you he indulges in debate and criticism with class.

Madam, post #140 is Jim Robinson’s words, not mine.
Do you have a problem with Jim Robinson’s position on your idol ? I’d be more than happy to contact him so you can attack him for “spamming, hatred, attacks, name-calling and obsession with Mitt Romney knows no bounds.”
Oh, and madam, for you to continue to repeat the debunked SLANDER of Ronald Reagan (who was NEVER for abortion) is appalling. Have you no shame, madam ?
Give us a break. Quit your whining and sly allusions to your betters.

Nice try, madam. You were happy to slander me when you thought I authored the post, but you start backtracking when you are informed as to its actual author (which had you bothered to read the post, you’d see I properly accredited him with the post). But I will not be BULLIED by you *omneybots. It’s time you were called out for this hateful environment you and your friends have created on this website over the past year.
“But I will not be BULLIED by you *omneybots. It’s time you were called out for this hateful environment you and your friends have created on this website over the past year.
That’s pathetic, sweetey. You are a total bully who arms yourself with “the best defense is an offense”. And, the funny thing is, toots, that everyone knows you and your one pony act now. We’re all on to you. You can spew whatever you wish, but you are a known entity now, and that hateful environment you profess was created by others is actually a creation out of your own reasonably sick psyche, and the mini-minds of your small cadre of cohorts. But, I understand, you get off on it.
This is your raison d’etre, your life’s work so to speak. Quite pathetic when one thinks about it. The term “get a life” comes to mind, but I doubt you have one other than staring at your computer all day and night waiting for a Romney thread to pop up so you can go into high gear. My, now isn’t that a fun life to lead. They’re going to be coming to take you away you know, to the funny farm, where life is free.....hah, hah, ho, ho, hee, hee, hee, hee. It’s just a matter of time.
...said the liberal troll bully.
Tell me... do you believe in moon people ?
“...said the liberal troll bully.
Tell me... do you believe in moon people ?”
I reiterate, a bit creepy. Enough now. Talk to yourself, the only one who can understand your weirdness well.
I’ll bet a sawbuck that you do believe in moon people. No wonder you won’t answer the question. As if we need more evidence exposing you and your fellow *omneybot loonies as lacking in sanity. :-)
