Cantor certainly spouted the Tea Party line at CPAC 2010—I thought the repubs had finally gotten the message.
Keep in mind that Eric Erickson has also been running with a lot of, ah, how can I put this politely, nonsense lately about the GOP. Frankly, he provides a whole lot of hearsay, but not many facts.
Both Cantor and Boehner like to talk tough when meeting with their supporters, especially ones that might donate money. I met Boehner at a fundraiser event a few years ago. He talked tough at the time, but now we see that he is just another phony. I’m ok with him as a congressman, but not as the Republican leader in the House.
