Your post was perfectly clear. I await your answer from the poster that berated you for speaking the truth. Thanks for your post.

I never said that the posters post wasn't perfectly clear.

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

In my view you are missing the sematics game being played here and in my view, the berating started first here on this thread of Cantor for no good reason.

I hope you don't take those remarks too as me berating you.

Here is the post I was commenting upon:

To: KarenMarie

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.

Thank you for the clarification. :)

... 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 :)
