Democrats quick to rap Cantor as VP prospect

When you are above target, you get flack.

I think the DNC is particularly upset that a Jew dared leave the Democrat plantaion.

[CatherinePPP]

Cantor seems like a good guy with a conservative record. I could get behind him.

[Blue Turtle]

They are trying so desperately to box McCain and the VP as the next BushCheney. It just isn’t going to work.

[MeanWestTexan]

DNC thinks calling Cantor “Cheney” is insult ping.

(Sounds like an endorsement, to me.)

[silverleaf]

If the democrats dislike him, he must be one of the good guys. God forbid we should get a republican VP candidate the democrats approve of.

[MeanWestTexan]

You say sweet things like that, and you’ll end up on my ping list.

[conservativegramma]

Cantor better get his suit of armor on...he’s going to get attacked, flamed, and crucified aka Dan Quayle. MSM don’t like true conservatives, we know that!

[SolidWood]

The DNC think of Jews as their "Hofjuden" (Court Jews)

[Red Badger]

McCAIN WOULD DO WELL TO PICK SOMEONE THAT NOBODY HAS EVER HEARD OF.............

[ejonesie22]

This is a good thing. Means they are taking him seriously, he is not on the DNC approved list for RNC VP candidates like Crist or Romney are...

[fieldmarshaldj]

Yup, the rodents just hate him because he’s a Jew. But they ain’t too kind to their own Jews (Lieberman, for example).

I agree with Cantor, I’d rather have the Roast Beef on Challah named after me then a double tuna stacker.

As for the DNC, McCain could nominate a bell hop from the DC Hilton and they would complain that he had carried Cheney’s bags a couple of times.

[Niteranger68]

Democrats to a better job of promoting Republicans than Republicans do.

[Dr. Sivana]

The "Eric Cantor" sandwich was originally supposed to feature tuna, but Cantor asked that it be changed to the more red-meat combo of roast beef on challah."

That's a good sign. I'm not even Jewish, but kosher roast beef on challah with some Hebrew National mustard, and maybe a knish on the side with a sugar based Coca-Cola sounds good to me. (I won't even describe the delicious feast I would want when Jindal gets the nomination someday.)

[SolidWood]

Lieberman was a good Court Jew as long as he was on the Dem line. After he decided to be American before Democrat they decided that he isn’t one of their own anymore. After purging Zell Miller and Lieberman I think there aren’t any patriotic Democrats left.

Racists. Anti-Semites. Bigots.

[PGalt]

I’ll admit I’ve never heard of this guy before today, but from what I am learning he certainly seems worthy of a BUMP!

Ambassador John Bolton for Veep!

[EDINVA]

It doesn’t matter WHO McCain chooses .. the DNC/Obama crew will try in every way possible to identify the nominee with BushCheney (as if that’s a bad thing). They don’t seem to understand they have already overplayed that card and that BushCheney has higher approval ratings than the Dem Congress.
