*** They needed someone to replace Kristol, Perle and the rest of the discredited worthless punkneos............so loser Cantor surfaced. ... he’s a worthless loser.***

I just checked Cantor's bio while watching the video interview with Georgie Snuffyupalous and yep, he's another one of them. Like Rush said, "these people need to be stamped OUT". And the stamping OUT should start with the neos.

I'm pretty sure it was Ronald Maximus who said,

"The Republican party cannot be all things to all people."

Well RR was right when he said it way back when and Rush was right when he said it again yesterday. And McInsane's loss should have proved that this big tent, move to the middle, we'll pander to you for your vote, check your principles at the door, crap is a guaranteed LOSING strategy.

So Cantor can take his 'we don't want the Kenyan to fail' and stick it up his neocon hinny. I want the commie pretender-in-chief's socialist takeover of America to fail and FAIL MISERABLY! And anyone who helps, aides, or concedes to the Kenyan in any way in his commie quest is AN ENEMY of America - period.

I am grown suspicious of the real agenda behind many of these posts .
When you confront these posters , their reply is “I have been here for blah blah years “
Which then brings up the point if you have been here for some many years why misreport the real source and title of the link and why do you fall for the same misinformation scam peddled by the Dem party state media .

Your comment jogged something in my memory. In September 1993, National Review did a cover story on Rush Limbaugh titled "Leader of the Opposition". The cover showed Limbaugh in the House of Commons dressed in a frock coat like a member of Parliament.

We may be for a return to old times.

In what way do you think Rush should “step up and become more visible”? A cable show? Running for office? I think he’s doing a pretty good job of being visible now - and the Dems mentioning him doesn’t hurt his visibility, either. But perhaps the key is what HE thinks is best for his message.

Limbaugh said Saturday to the conservative conference, "What is so strange about being honest and saying I want Barack Obama to fail if his mission is to restructure and reform this country so that capitalism and individual liberty are not its foundations?"

Cantor today rejected Limbaugh's rhetoric.

"So the Rush Limbaugh approach of hoping the president fails is not the Eric Cantor, House Republican approach?" I asked.

"Absolutely not," Cantor said. "And I don't -- I don't think anyone wants anything to fail right now. We have such challenges. What we need to do is we need to put forth solutions to the problems that real families are facing today."

How is this not "to reject with denial"? Why are so many people so opposed to the proper use of the word repudiate??

See # 176 which have my ideas on strategy.

Republicans should be trolling democrat websites stirring up inyernal conflicts between them, as I have recommended since November. I love attacks on RINOs like McCain but this stuff is counterproductive. There was a Southpark where the boys led by Cartman spent the whole show trying to get Kyle to fight a new kid. They kept on saying “He called your mother a ...”

Here is the post I was commenting upon:

First he says that limited Gov and the private sector is what is gonna get us out of the recession, then he says that he doesnt want Obama to fail.

More sematics games from posters who don't get it.

If it was "perfectly clear" to you, I don't see why you would call it "sematics games" and say the posters "don't get it" which in my opinion is condescending and unnecessary.

The poster got it quite well

"...limited Gov and the private sector is what is gonna get us out of the recession" and if Cantor wants Obama to succeed, that will never happen because Present Obama is working in the opposite direction.

Yes, some on this thread were perhaps berating Cantor, but he is a public figure.

Most people that got his mistake in saying the opposite of Rush were just correcting him IMO and hoping for more solid conservative repudiation of Obama's socalistic tactics.

God in Heaven, it's even worse than I thought: Not only is Cantor a Jew, but he's adopted the limp-wristed, panty-waist affectation of Dixie homosexuals.

Yes, G-d in Heaven, A JEW.

In the GOP, A JEW!

I just can't imagine why Jews don't vote for Republicans.

Maybe it's cause they act like limp wristed faggots.

MWT, this appears to be one bad guy.

Yours are similar to mine.

Attack the positions, not the person.

The rest of this post I'm responding to doesn't concern me, do what you think works for the cause.

Obviously you never admit mistakes because you never make any! Just please don’t shoot your newspaper delivery boy because you mistake him for a burglar. You will probably feel self-righteously “correct” about that too.

Carey, you've been around this forum for a long time and should have learned some politeness and protocol by now.

I see your posts are almost exclusively videos. It would help that if you have a slam against a conservative (such as Cantor) you would point it out in your opening blurb, what was said, and at what point in the video it was said.

Some people don't have time to watch your ever-ongoing array of videos. Especially if they are long or not what you claim they say.

Is there some FR Academy Award for "Lifetime Achievement for Most Prolific Hit-and-Run Video Poster" that I'm unaware of?

Well good.

But if you say you don't want Obama to fail, that seems to mean you don't want his policies to fail. He is his policies to some degree.

Not a good thing to say IMO.

Thank you for the clarification. :)

Question. Do both of you actually think that Cantor in his words was wishing that Obama should suceed with liberal policies?

... pardon me if this is not perfect, I was typing while listening...

"GS: so, the rush limbaugh approach of hoping the President fails is not the Eric Cantor House REP approach?

EC: George, ABSOLUTELY NOT! I don't think anyone wants anything to fail right now. We have such challenges. What we need to do is put forth solutions to the problems that real families are facing today. And our common sense of Conservative principals of limited government and the belief of free markets and the belief that opportunity can only be created by the private sector are going to undergird our proposals going forward."

I still maintain that Mr. Cantor contradicted himself. He says that principals of limited gov, free markets and the private sector is what is going to save us from this dismal economy. Yet, he says that he does not hope that Ombama (socialism and generational debt) fails.

We can agree to disagree, but I find that to be a total contradiction. Had he said... to be gracious... that he personally liked Obama but believed in those Conservative principals so could not see how the Obama plans could do anything but fail... I would see it as a statement that was true down one line. But, I do not believe that anyone could hope that Obama doesn't fail unless they are behind his plans.

Unless of course, one believes that just because someone doesn't hope for failure doesn't mean he wishes for success. Then we do have a game of semantics.

Peace :)

Cantor didn’t really criticize Limbaugh, he just sort ducked the issue.

True, he just said he believes the opposite of what Rush said.

And he did duck the issue.

The GOP needs to confront issues, not duck them.

I think it MUST go personal. Obama is the leader of this plan to socialize America, redistribute wealth, etc. His “crisis, catastrophe, depression” rhetoric is helping the stock market to tank. His tax increases on achievers, small business, and energy are HIS proposals.

But it’s all in how you turn a phrase. I don’t want Obama to fail, but his plans will cause America’s failure...so, no, I don’t want Obama’s plans for socialism to succeed.

Eric Cantor is not a bad guy. He’s a conservative. He didn’t do a horrible job this morning. He just needs to work on how he answers that question about “Obama” and “fail”.

We’re running out of time. It’s durn near “hair on fire” time, IMO.

Listen to the video. Cantor and the Republicans gave Obama a conservative plan for success. Cantor obviously wanted Obama to succeed with that plan. Obama(of course) ignored that plan. Cantor never said that he wanted Obama to succeed with the liberal Democrat plan.

Cantor's comments are being taken out of context using sematics.

Now, you never answered my question: Do you actually think that Cantor in his words was wishing that Obama should succeed with liberal policies?

Yes, some on this thread were perhaps berating Cantor, but he is a public figure.

I believe, those who initiate berating a figure should expect the same treatment in return, regardles of whether the person they are berating is a public figure.

“God in Heaven, it’s even worse than I thought: Not only is Cantor a Jew”

Yeah, Jews are bad, huh, DoubleDee? No place in THIS country for them.

They’re in control of the banks, you know.

What gets me about elected Republicans is just how bad they are at playing the fundamentals of their CHOSEN PROFESSION. Neither President Bush could communicate or thought that was important. Cantor and Steele are better than 99% of the elected Republicans.....PATHETIC.

Asking GOP politicians to repudiate Limbaugh ought to have been expected and Cantor ought to have been ready for the slow-hanging curve of a question.

Leftwing MSM: Do you want the President to fail like that fat, drug-addicted, blowhard Rush Limbaugh?

Cantor (or fill in the blank): I want President Obama's policies to fail. This massive finacial irresponsibility of the Democrats is destructive to the country. It won't help the economy, but has the potential to tank it and hurt every American. Mr MSM-Leftwinger, do you want the Americans to be hurt by Obama's policies? Hmmmmmm?

Leftwing MSM: What do you think of Michelle's toned arms, she's starting a new trend to sleeveless dresses.
