time for some leadership in the house
Are you suggesting that Cantor should have gone public with the news? That would have been very unwise.
An affair, my God, call the police!
Why would Cantor remain mum? Maybe he knows and likes Petraeus. Maybe he thought it was classified info. Maybe he thought disclosure would hurt the GOP if the public associates Petraeus more closely with Bush than Obama. Maybe all of the above.
I don’t like Cantor, but this might be why Romney clammed up on Benghazi.
In otherwards, it added another unknown quantity.
White House said they didn’t know until the night of the election.
Really? Dianne Feinswine is all over then news saying the Senate Intelligence Committee didn’t know.
Almost every one of the people involved in gubamint have sworn oaths.. not many keep them, apparently.. and for varied reasons, some fathomable,, some.. mmmmm
If Canter is House majority leader, what the heck is John Boehner?
I don’t know. Richard Nixon kicked McGovern’s behind in 1972 even though there seemed to be some kind of a problem. The Republicans thought they won a great victory. What they got was shellacked in the 1974 and 1976 elections and the joy of hearing about “Nixon and Watergate” every time they talk to a Democrat. I’m glad Cantor didn’t raise a fuss in late October. Obama has been setting the Middle East on fire to make money for himself and his buddies. If the Democrat voters, like the college professors and government employees, wake up and realize that Obama is just a Democrat grifter who starts wars and gets people killed so he can profit off it, it will kill the Democrat party.
When did Cantor find out about it? October 30th? It must have been stamped top secret and unless he talked to the FBI and was read-in then perhaps he believes in innocent until proven guilty.
Until he got all the facts do we want our guy to destroy a mans career and marriage without hearing the entire story, and most importantly, seeing the evidence themselves?
Cantor knew of the allegation from a whistle blower and referred it to the FBI, but he did not know if it was true.
Running him as a turned spy for the Chicago Communists. He had to know he was being used and would be under the bus soon. This weasel has no morals, values nor integrity. This means Valerie Jarrett(POTUS) was running p4 for a year.
Wouldn’t surprise me if Cantor’s not having an affair too
If the republicans retain the current leadership in the house every republican her should resign the party. If they don’t then shut up.
I left the party under Bush 1, almost came back with the Gingrich house but Bush 2 compassionate big government conservatism sobered me back up.
Its your party republicans you get what you tolerate.... Bummer is so do we...
For what reason?
Issa should have been notified. Armed with this explosive information, he would have found a way to pressure releases of info on Benghazi by bargaining with administration officials through backchannels. And Boehner knew.
Perhaps Cantor thought it could have been a trap by the Chicago mob. They certainly would have no problem feeding false info to the GOP, and having it backfire big time. “How dare the GOP politicize national security, with pre-election smears against a war hero?”
Regardless, time for a real Speaker and Majority Leader. Ryan, Issa, Gohmert, anyone but these two mollusks.
Now I hate Repubs as much as Dems. I am now an Independent.
I have no particular use for Cantor but what he did is what a member of Congress should have done in a case involving classified information. What would you have him do, call the National Enquirer?
