During our exclusive interview on "This Week," Republican Whip Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., rejected comments made by Rush Limbaugh at the CPAC conference.
<Snip> 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."

Go Rush, down with any GOP fool in Congress who sides with Obama in any form or fashion.
Kiss your aspirations goodbye, Mr. Cantor.
And George ‘Clinton-Obama’ Stupid-nopolis was really happy, wasn’t he?
I wonder what Cantor thought he was doing. Sounds like he needs a session at the wood shed. Call Monday ?
Cantor just lost me; and to think that I formerly believed that he has the Right Stuff.
Cantor has to stand for election and as such cannot be advocating failure. Limbaugh gets to sit on the sidelines and say whatever he wants (as he should).
Is it that hard for people to recognize the distinction?
My guess is that this is a communication snafu. I doubt he truly understands what Rush ACTUALLY said with regard to this.
“ROS Rejects Cantor’s Kissing MSM Arse.”
There is much that Cantor has to learn—and lessons on how to shut-up and smile are on the list. Rush is the only thing happening to incite any enthusiasm on the right.
Using Georgie's method to parse Cantor's statement, Cantor is admitting that he wants Bari to be successful in his drive to turn America into a Marxist/Socialist nanny state.
He’s supposed to oppose the President and the Dems on policy issues. He’s not supposed to be out there cheering for the President to fail. It makes for bad politics. or do people forget how much the dems’ behavior cost our guys on the battlefield?
Flush Cantor.
This was specifically what Rush was warning about in part of his "first address to the nation" last night.
These Republicans, for the most part, they don't get it at all.
“Is it that hard for people to recognize the distinction?”
He did NOT repudiate Limbaugh or attack Limbaugh.
He gave a weak response/dodged the issue, but it wasn’t like he condemned Limbaugh or anything.

Let him run as a democrat, then.
Eric Cantor’s head on the stick. Time to end his political career if he is that stupid IMO.

It just gets easier to see why we squandered the last eight years. These jack asses have to be removed from office before we can move forward. Perhaps they can be caught in the same ill wind that is blowing for the rest of the liberals.
Over the past two weeks, Fox has had Cantor on as a spokesperson.
I was not impressed. He is not what I would vote for. He was an apologist, nothing more.
Argh, the GOP is dead to conservatives. Do we get it yet?
THEY are forever losers without us. Now what does that tell us?
