Eric Cantor is out of office as is his "friend," John Boehner, because they lost the confidence of the people and they lost the confidence of the people because they paradoxically sacrificed the people to keep their confidence.
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.
As Churchill quoted Cromwell dismissing the rump Parliament: "you have been sitting here too long for the good you have done, begone I say and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!"
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.
