Eric Cantor: The G.O.P., After John Boehner
NY Times ^ | SEPT. 25, 2015 | Eric Cantor

Posted on 09/25/2015 9:06:28 PM PDT by ObamahatesPACoal

LIKE so many others, I was stunned by Speaker John A. Boehner’s announcement on Friday that he would step down at the end of October. For nearly six years — first as Republican whip and then as majority leader — I met with John on a daily, sometimes hourly, basis as we worked to lead the House Republican Conference. (SNIP) We are in the midst of a campaign to elect the next president. After two terms of President Obama, an economy that is growing too slowly and a retrenchment of American power abroad, the conservative to-do list for the next Republican president is quite long. That president’s success will require steady, capable hands in Congress to move a conservative vision forward. Now is not the time for more infighting. Now is the time to come together and lay out a positive, honest governing platform to take the country forward. This is what my friend John Boehner fought for, and this is what we must continue to fight for to honor his dedication to Congress and the American people.

I am proud to have played a small role in helping Dave Brat unseat The weasel Eric Cantor.
He was about to betray us on amnesty last summer and we dispatched him, thereby stopping Rubio’s Gang bill in its tracks.

Many more Cheap Labor Express owned Congressman need to be Cantorized

“Who is Eric Cantor?”

I think he is a lobbyist. He used to be in Congress. He betrayed the voters and they kicked him out.

Are the Establishment/Progressive Republicans listening?

We gave Boner complete control of the nation's wallet, and he failed, FAILED, miserably in husbanding that monetary power responsibly. As rotten a spoiled brat homobama was, boner's indulgence of the precious little magic negro only made him worse.

Boner needs to put on an apron and get on his hands and knees to help Jim Backus clean the floor so that Conservatives don't have to step in any of his mess.

“Had Boenher actually fought for something”...........

Meaning ANYTHING of a conservative nature, this country wouldn’t be in the mess it is and odumbo would be irrelevant.

I see another Boehner if Cantor winds up in that “empty seat”

With all the power possessed of the man in charge of the House of Representatives, the man who stands but two heartbeats away from the presidency, to array a paltry list of achievements as has been served up now by Eric Cantor on behalf of John Boehner is-there is no other word for it- pathetic.

In a world rife with terrorists, in which a drone or shoulder-fired weapon can do major damage to a structure and when both the POTUS and VPOTUS are often in the same building, being two heartbeats away from the Presidency is a bigger consideration than has been historically true. It raises the urgency with which we should monitor the process of Boehner's replacement.
