7. Wait, what?

[obama14]

8. You know this has nothing to do with John Boehner or Speaker right?

I dont know why this is even news.. This is for the #2 spot, not the speaker. Majority Leader is behind the speaker.
If this was going to be something against the tan drunk then fine.. that would be infighting, blood, etc.

9. Right. I assumed that Cantor would be in that position. nt

11. So is this the presidential and VP line up for when they oust Obama?

12. Lawrence O'donnell must be tingling over this. He was all over Cantor's ass last nite.

This is gonna be good.

[flamingdem]

14. What was he saying? I love that Lawrence knows the dirt nt

[kirby]

15. Nothing new...

Just that Cantor, like most Republicans, refuse to answer any questions--they just spew talking points...

Maddow was asking Cantor how they were going to come up with the 700 billion dollars to pay for the upper 2% tax cuts. Cantor refused to answer and went off onto a tangent of how nobody was getting a tax cut, it will just avoiding the Democrats raising taxes on people.
Lawrence kept askings Cantor what programs he would cut to lower the deficit and how will they handle raising the Debt Ceiling. Cantor went off onto a non-related tangent of 'we need to listen to the American people'.

At the end when Matthews asked Cantor to 'come back some other time', Lawrence said 'I dont want him back if he is not going to answer any questions'.

16. They cannot continue stonewalling, or dems need to take out full page ads w the questions in bold nt

[eppur_se_muova]

22. I think O'Donnell could write down Cantor's anwers before he asks the questions.

I'd like to see him try that on-air sometime. :evilgrin:

[gkhouston]

24. On NPR this morning, they said Cantor had presented "22 points" on the economy

somewhere or other yesterday. I thought, "Great, he must have pulled an all-nighter and made something up." Bet it was just the same bunch of content-free platitudes.

[PatrynXX]

18. This won't end well for the Right.

And we know it. It's just that their main talking point has been removed. Now that they seem to have some power lets see how much money they can get to comedians

[louis-t]

21. Problem is, we will all suffer until they 'get it'

which will never happen.

[thereismore]

13. Boner: sniff sniff. I won't let you down, Baggers: We want one of us. Delicious! nt

[Ikonoklast]

17. Speaker and Majority leader...two different things.

[thereismore]

20. Right. Anyway. The baggers don't like Boner one bit. nt

[wisteria]

19. Cantor is a .......

Prick-
derogatory term used to sum up the existance of a worthless asshole.

[dogfacedboy]
