This from a POS Senate member (not really a leader) who has FAILED to produce a Federal Budget for the last TWO YEARS!

Which to me translates to ... this is exactly the guy the GOP wants at the table!

I see. So it’s Eric “Van Helsing” Cantor they want to keep out.

All the Republicans should not show and when asked say, “We are waiting for the President’s plan so we can vote on it. He’s given us nothing but platitudes so far.”

It’s all clear now. Obama took his ball and went home because Cantor is childish. Next thing you now, Reid is going to be telling us that Cantor is thin-skinned and unwilling to be contradicted by others?

Reid says other congressional leaders are negotiating in good faith ...

And that is exactly why Cantor should be there. I don't want them to be comfortable and chummy. I want them angry, paranoid and scared. I want them nervously looking out the window for the flicker of torches and the glint of pitchforks. Do I smell hot tar?

The fact that Cantor made Sparky the Empty Suit storm out of the room like the ignorant, pampered and childish a$$ clown he is, proves that he should be there. Keep poking the thin-skinned, narcissistic pansy... maybe we'll finally see that psychopathic “Greg Stillson moment” we've all been waiting for and fully expect to happen eventually. This Marxist puke has skated without challenges HIS ENTIRE WORTHLESS LIFE!

THANK YOU NEVADA!!!

Reid's use of words is code for "Cantor, you are NOT a true Washingtonian!"

Reminds me of Pelosi's words just a few months ago:

“To my Republican friends: take back your party. So that it doesn’t matter so much who wins the election, because we have shared values about the education of our children, the growth of our economy, how we defend our country, our security and civil liberties, how we respect our seniors.”

This is a perfect time for Boehner, Cantor, and McConnell to stand in front of any camera that’s rolling and say...

“We will be happy to resume negotiations once we have the assurance that Mr. Obama will not leave prematurely and stay to see this thing to a satisfactory resolution”.

With the way Obummer acted, I WOULD NOT use the term “the President”. He lost that when he acted like a street punk that had to run away to get his bully friends (MSM) to back him up.

Sure and certain proof that the Extreme Left wing of the Democrat party is playiung divide and conquer....separate the Republican House Leadership from the White House and Senate, Boehner will cave and they have succeeded in getting the Republicans to provide cover for Obama’s re-election.

Democrat Dogs led by the worst of them Harry Reid

If anyone is childish it is this man-boy we have to call President. His words: "You need to be here. I've been here. I've been doing Afghanistan and bin Laden and the Greek crisis. You stay here. Let's get it done."

What he's been 'doing' is the back nine and doing round-robin fundraisers. He's a petulant asswipe that has had his mediocre, prehaps substandard, performance corrected via 'affirmative action' his whole damned life.

To tell you the truth, I hope every damn word Reid and Obama say about Cantor is true. I hope he interrupted, ridiculed and upset these lame-ass talks. I expect nothing less!

I want ZerO stopped! I want Reid stopped! Anything they want, I DON'T want; and I expect my representatives to make it so!

If there was anything ever so true it is this: O-B-A-M-A ..ONE BIG ASS MISTAKE, AMERICA!

Tell you what Reid, you resign and we will un-elect Cantor. Now that is a deal, go for it.

The so called leaders are part of the problem. They should pull out and send in Rubio and West.

This is a the latest signal that the dems have a weak hand and know it. If Cantor and the rest of the rebupbs continue to hold out, President Temper-Tantrum will fold.

Boehner needs to announce TODAY a suspension of all future talks and needs to just go back to the House and start passing bills.
