No. I don’t get it. Cantor was defeated for re-election. I get that. Cantor had lost touch with his constituents. I get that. Cantor was on the wrong side of the immigration issue. I get that.
The LGBT/minister comparison I think was a bit of a stretch that I don’t get. If we’re going to make comparisons, let’s at least stick with similar situations. I brought up the comparison with Sen. Phil Gramm. Someone else brought up the comparison with Gov. John Kasich. Which are reasonable comparisons.
I have no issues with Cantor finding a new job and supporting his wife and children. No issue with him making serious money. No issue with him joining Moelis. If there really is an issue with him joining that firm, please explain it to me so that I can get it.
I don’t see this as an issue any longer. For me it is a matter of fact that Cantor has shown now that his representation was not for the better for the ordinary middle class working person but instead for his own betterment. He of course ,as noted, is not the only such person in the USA government, local and fed , who views government as the deep well of supply/opportunity for bigger and better life styles. However, being an overseas vet of WWII and having a had a good and honest, not rich, life I would like to see the Nation’s politicians get back to being publicly oriented servants as the Founders intended.
