A fairly good analysis....thanks. I was not aware that he had voted for that ominous Omnibus bill. That is most troubling.
Not exactly. To be clear, Cantor (and Boehner) voted against the Omnibust Spending Binge Act.

However, prior to that, they did abandon one of their principles.

For most of February, they were complaining that the Dems were drafting the Omnibust appropriations act in secret and preparing to rush it through to a very quick vote.

Then, when the resolution for consideration came to the floor, Boehner and Cantor agreed that the Omnibust Spending Binge Act should come to a vote after only one hour of debate. That's where they abandoned their principles. If they thought one hour of debate was enough, why complain that Pelosi was going to rush it through?

Thanks again for the clarification. Perhaps I should refrain from commenting until after a sufficient intake of fresh, hot coffee.
