Eric Cantor plays loyal lieutenant to Boehner
Washington Post ^ | 12/18/12 | Rosalind S. Helderman,

Posted on 12/21/2012 12:36:49 PM PST by jimbo123

In a breach of bedrock conservative principles, House Speaker John A. Boehner laid out a proposal Tuesday to allow tax rates to rise for Americans making more than $1 million a year.

And standing side by side with Boehner as he outlined what many Republicans consider an apostasy — but what Boehner argues is the only way to spare most people from a tax increase — was House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, who has worked hard in recent months to play the loyal lieutenant.

If you answered the post instead of ducking, dodging and making excuses as to why a lie about it isn;t a lie, I wouldn’t have to.

Oh, I am special. I’m also brilliant, good looking and correct. Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful.

I answered your question in post #42 and #61.

Are you dumb or what?

Must be. I see nothing where Congress cannot legally and constitutionally do it.

Can you post the exact text?

I read exactly what I did not ask for. Excuses. But not the answer to my question. So please. Help a delusional dreamer out and show me.

“If you check the posting history of “What’s Up” for the past few weeks, you will discover he has been working overtime to excuse the behavior of the GOP and to disrupt any discussion about conservatives abandoning the GOP.”

Yeh, I noticed that. Do you think “What’s Up” is a RINO plant or a paid Soros operative?

I guess you are unable to find my earlier posts so here you go again:

because that is constitutional

Don't you understand this?

Dunno. All I can say for sure is that his post history is filled with excuses for Bohner, reasons to NOT abandon a failed party and as this thread has completely shown, is not intrested in proving anything he says.

Actions speak louder than words. And his actions are not conservative.

One more time...

Question from original post: Is there ANY reason Congress cannot LEGALLY AND CONSTITUTIONALLY do that?

Your answer:

“because that is constitutional”

One of these things is not like the other. One of these things does not answer a clear and unambiguous question.

Where is the answer that you claim to have provided?

If that’s the case, then why are you defending Bhoner and the GOP who are not exercizing a constitutional solution? Do you not support a constitutional solution to the problem? Do you prefer we keep funding our problems?

You theoretically admit it’s legal, though you didn’t say so. so are you part of the problem or the solution?

“Another tin-foiler.

Typical non-sequitor response of a left winger.

You wouldn’t be the first RINO/leftist infiltrator that’s been kicked off FR. Look up your hero “non-sequitor” and see what happened to him.

My "hero" non-sequitor? Now how can someone be my hero when I haven't even hear of him?

No, I'm not an infiltrator. I just happen to have a different opinion than you. You may be surprised to hear there are people out there who do.

Funny isn’t it? He can’t simply say “Yes there is a reason and here it is” or “No there is no reason they cannot constitutionally exercize the power of the purse to shut Obama down.” Instead he plays word games and diverts at multiple opportunities.

If that is not leftist behavior I dunno what is.

No, no word games. It's just that you expect others to jump to your tune and answer each and every one of your questions exactly as YOU want them answered.

In the same way you think you have THE solution when in reality you would make a far worse mess for conservatives.

And you need “because” taken out for you to understand a point. LOL.

You didn’t answer a simple question. You played word games with the skill of Rhamm Emanuel and got backed into a corner. So you diverted. Ducked. Dodged. Just like any other leftist.

Now you try playing the victim and me as some circus ringmaster for your dog and pony show.

Nope. A couple thousand words ago you could have simply said there is a reason they cant or there was not. But if there was a reason, you’d have posted it. But as there is not that leaves your idol open to the reality that HE is responsible for not reining Obama in financially and that shows all your excusemaking and covering for a failed party and speaker to have been in service of PREVENTING a solution.

Sucks to be you.

If you could think in a less shallow manner you could see that the question WAS answered, just not in the way you demanded.

Poor you. It's tough. You like people to kowtow to you but that just doesn't happen.

No, you're wrong again. Boehner's not my idol. But no real alternative has been proposed STILL despite all the whining and carping that you and others do.

They may not get it passed but they would FIGHT and articulate Conservatism and our solutions... proved solutions that work every time they are tried... and they would BOTH be a hell of a lot better than the backstabbing progressives of the gop/e and the soros lap dogs of boehner and mcconnell... I am a man that would rather die fighting with my boots on than crying and groveling at the feet of a communist kenyan bastard... savvy?
