September 4, 2013, Richmond, Virginia TEA Party was holding its rally outside the locked doors of Mr. Cantor’s Richmond offices, Mr. Cantor’s staff, represented at the highest levels, was meeting – privately and very quietly – with far-left groups representing pro-Amnesty, pro-Obamacare and pro-entitlement groups. These groups included: Central American Solidarity Association (CASA): A special interest group in favor of Progressive and Liberal policies promoting the expansion of rights for undocumented (read: illegal) aliens currently residing in the United States.
The Virginia Chapter of the AFL-CIO: A promoter and supporter of all causes Progressive and Liberal; integral for the passage of The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) on the national level.
The Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy: Among other events, the VICPP co-sponsored the “Social Justice University” with Virginia Organizing. This “university” served to “educate” (a better word would be “indoctrinate”) those in attendance on the issues of pro-immigration legislation, a continued ban on uranium mining, predatory lending, the Affordable Care Act and opposition to a fiscally responsible national budget affecting entitlement reforms.
The Virginia Council of Churches: This organization works closely with the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy, focusing on issues ranging from pro-economic justice efforts to the successful advancement of the Affordable Care Act, from “equality” in housing efforts (read: the promotion of the “Section 8” housing entitlement, responsible, in part, for the housing crisis) and the advancement of entitlement via a “social justice” campaign. Virginia Organizing: A “grassroots” organization centered on a pro-living wage, pro-entitlement, pro-union, pro-social and economic justice agenda. On their “About Us” page they state: “We believe in the elimination of the extremes of wealth and poverty, in a progressive tax system based on the ability to pay, and in making the nation's financial systems, including the Federal Reserve Bank,

I once had respect for this man, but I no longer do. He’s just another Democrat collaborator.
Cantor’s wife is dialed into the DC scene making big big money as a lobbyist.
Never heard of this source.
How did Cantor vote on the recent CR defunding the Death Panels?
Once they get to DC, most are transformed into political prostitutes in less than a year.
“Once they get to DC, most are transformed into political prostitutes in less than a year.”
By, and far, most politicians lie to get elected. The people fall for it each and every time.
You always have to remember that most politicians leave office far better off financially than when they went in. How? They certainly did not actually work to earn that money. Where did it come from? Guess where?
Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants... bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society. Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors. [but he’s not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.
Leadership - so called - acted as one in the House vote to defund. In fact, every Republican in the House, except one (and I don’t know the name but someone else will), voted as one to defund it. Cantor is Majority Leader. He was up in front, speechifying opposite Pelosi, appearing to lead the fight.
The lot of them, however (so called leadership) had to be dragged into this. They did not have the votes to do anything else. So they would’ve sat there looking helpless to do anything at all - good, bad or indifferent - if they had not put this legislation forward, now.
Pat Toomey is the exception.
When he was a congress critter, he maintained his conservative facade and held out until he became a senator {where the erection cycle is only every 6 years} and now his back is sore from mattress burns.
I worked for his election, that traitor pimp, never again.
Undoubtedly, prior experience as a “prostitute” got them to Washington. Now ask yourself, “What took them so long to make the conversion if they are already well experienced”?
A while back I found that Eric Cantor was a member of the Council on Foreign Affairs. I’ve never trusted him since.
See: Wikipedia ‘Council on Foreign Relations’. There is an illustration there, ‘Network diagram showing interlocks between various U.S. corporations and institutions and the Council on Foreign Relations, in 2004’ that is very interesting.
I fully understand the feelings about Paul but now is the time to fight obamacare.
I used to like him too. Not anymore.
ALL, let me repeat ALL, Republican leaders are left-wing socialists, they do not cave to the wishes of the left, THEY ARE THE LEFT.
If they are in a leadership position they are leftists, it really is as simple as that.
For several election cycles, I was one of those promoting “vote for the GOP, at least they aren’t Progressives”. I was wrong. They are Progressives.
After 50 years of political activism, I am done. After 2008, I am outraged to be solicited for donations from those who fully intend to betray me, first chance they get. Locally, we let one politician know that we felt betrayed. He shrugged and told us he did what he thought was right. Well, fine. He can fund his own campaign. Risk your own money and perhaps, with some real skin in the game, you will change your opinion of *what is right*. If not, then at least we didn’t contribute to our own abuse.
BTW, it adds insult to injury when those seeking donations end up as uber wealthy on the back of my contribution and then use that leverage to further destroy the values I hold dear.
America has not been a Representative Republic for so long, no one remembers a time when it still was.
