Former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said Monday that a GOP focus on highly politicized issues like ObamaCare and immigration in 2015 would be a “disservice to the American people.”

He urged Republicans to act quickly on bipartisan policy initiatives like expanding charter schools, signing new trade deals or creating a permanent research and development tax credit. If they don’t, he warned the next race for the White House could be at stake.

He added that the deep divide between Obama and the GOP on issues like healthcare, immigration, climate change and tax reform is “well known” and unlikely to thaw.

“It would be a disservice to the American people if the next two years are spent simply relitigating these differences,” Cantor, who is now vice chairman and managing director at the investment bank Moelis and Co., wrote.

I wonder which K Street lobbying outfit Eric Cantor is working with to “steer” legislation after the loss of his House seat and majority leader slot? This guy is such a loser. He and Boehner are peas in a pod.

He doesn’t care. He isn’t exactly suffering or lacking influence. The only thing that’s changed is the angle he feeds at the trough from.

Tell you what tho, if the GOP keeps this up, they’ll be lucky if I vote Republican even at the state level come ‘16.
