Nov. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Eric Cantor, the second-ranking Republican in the U.S. House, said his party needs to be inclusive and criticized some comments by talk-show host Rush Limbaugh as inappropriate.

“The Republican Party in its roots is a party of inclusion and we ought to be promoting that and making sure that voices are heard,” Cantor, of Virginia, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt,” airing today.

Looks like Lindsey's been giving Eric back rubs.

Yep - political intimacy seems to have its rewards. Unfortunately the only ones getting "that kind of real action" on their their dirty deeds are we, the people.

Through all of this mess, Pence is starting to rise to the top in terms of saying what he means, and unwilling to back down. He also seems to sport some...male parts...that some of our other wonderful GOP ‘leaders’ seem to be missing. A closer watching of Pence is in order, methinks.

Maybe it’s time for a new conservative rating. If the politician ever uses the word “inclusion” with a straight face, he automatically loses 75 points. At least.

But, if it’s obvious that he means one must accept those who think it’s okay to kill babies as legitimate candidates for public office, he should lose them all. He’s a complete zero.

I agree completely.

Another Vichy republican outs himself.

He seems to want to collaborate with with the statists

"Cantor, when asked about Limbaugh’s comments that “Adolf Hitler, like Barack Obama, also ruled by dictate” and his comparison of the administration’s health-care logo to a swastika, said his comparisons were wrong."

Actually, the logo does look strikingly like a Third Reich eagle-on-swastika icon. And Obama is indeed ruling by dictate, with his unconstitutional posse of czars ruling by fiat and bragging about their absolute power.

Cantor is a disappointment. Flush.

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

This is what Rush was talking about. Cantor is flat wrong. He owes Rush an apology, and then he needs to STFU.

Where are all of little eric supporters defending him about what a true conservative he is?Hard to go against Rush.

[ABQHispConservative]

Eric is allowing the media dictate the narrative. Be a man Eric, stick with conservative principles.

If that's your test, the Republican Party is going to become the minority party of the South - an irrelevance that makes a lot of noise, but plays no part in national politics at the legislative level.

Shh,not too loud or charlie crist may get wind of all this.

Typical RINO hack pap. The literal translation is: "Conservatism can't win."

[jusduat]

I just hate that word! It means include what we believe,
and not what you believe if it doesn’t fit the model that
nobody every really talks about. Stupid buzzword.

[Ann Archy]

True...the democrat spokecreeps are Hideous, but at least they can TALK!

[Canedawg]

He’s selling out to the RINO wing. He must think he has a future with them.

[OldPossum]

I’ve been posting on FR from time to time noting that I suspected Mr. Cantor is definitely not the conservative he makes himself out to be. Cuddling up to McCain was the first indication.

Also, he has been critical of Rush on more than one occasion. This is not the first time.

Unfortunately, he is practically guaranteed re-election.

We have to make sure that he is never considered for national office.

Mark Levin just explained how Cantor was set up by Al Hunt, a hack.

[NormsRevenge]

I just caught that, Thanks!

Interesting twist.

[anglian]

Mark Levin also said how our side should be “more aware” of this sort of tactic to avoid looking like amateurs.
