Cantor doesn't want Pelosi as minority leader. Getta loada this.
Edited on Sun Nov-07-10 09:35 PM by deacon
He says a it's terrible idea that doesn't make sense. Why is he so concerned about us? Lol. He doesn't want to deal with her. And, the gonads to say this:

"This is the woman who...puts ideology first," Cantor said. "This says to voters, 'we're not listening to you.' "

Then why wouldn't you want her there if she is bad for democrats? These GOP yokels think everybody's stupid.


Rep. Eric Cantor: Nancy Pelosi should not be Democratic leader

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/onpolitics/post/2010/11/eric-cantor-nancy-pelosi-house-leadership-2010-elections-/1?csp=hf

If he doesn't want her she must be the ideal choice.

1. Well if thats the case
Boner or any republican should not have any power what so ever because they put making money first, and that should say to the voters GO FUCK YOURSELVES, GIVE US MORE MONEY! but for some reason it doesn't.

24. Almost got into a fistfight over Pelosi this morning!
There's this Rethug who lives down the hall from me, a real Neanderthal-type. Anyway, there I am at 9 AM, stepping onto the elevator when he goes "Hold the door" and comes running over, kind of winded from the 12 yard jog (did I mention he was 300 lbs?). So the doors close and we're both heading down to the lobby when he looks over and sees Pelosi's name on the front cover of the "Mother Jones" I was carrying. He kinda smirks at it and goes, "Pelosi, huh? Guess there's one 'tard who's gonna need a job in a couple weeks. Wonder if Denny's is hiring."

I go, "'Tard'?! You saying Sarah Palin's any smarter?"

He goes, "Pretty hard to be dumber."

I go, "Maybe...but that's not what I asked. Is Palin any SMARTER?"

He couldn't answer me (of course). He just kind of smirked again as the doors opened and he shuffled off.

I was ready to kill the guy.

2. There's something about the ole smirking Eric
that I can't stand looking at, just like GWBush. Somethings in life you just can't stand but you can't put your finger on why.

29. He does smirk, doesn't he?
I think you put the finger on one of the reasons. Hubris will do him in.

6. Suck it up boys!


They won't be able to crow to their base that they defeated her despite demonizing her for the last several months.

7. They want her as leader so they can keep
demonizing her. They think it worked this time and want to keep her and her 'San Francisco values' as the face of the opposition.

This is theater.

9. There is something
about most of the GOP, in their looks and the sound of their voices, that gives me a shiver - and not in a good way. Creepy and sleazy.

Can you imagine the fireworks if Clyburn had said this about Boehner?

12. Exactly
This is truly none of Mr. Cantor's business, unless he's contemplating switching parties. Is Eric Cantor secretly a Democrat? I'm sure I've seen that somewhere on the internets.

16. Eric Cantor - Another Republican Thug!!!!!!
FU Eric Cantor

It's None of Your Republican-Ass Business whether she is or isn't the Minority Leader of the Democratic Party....

Then again, Cantor and Steny Hoyer are good pals...

I wonder if Cantor is doing this covert deed for his good pal, Steny Hoyer?

19. She's smarter, tougher, and classier than anything they've
got. They don't want her because of all of the above and her incredible effectiveness. Go Madam Speaker!! Thank goodness you're on our side!

21. yet another rethug dirty trick -- getting in cheap shots against the opposition.
the substance doesn't matter, nor does the source. rethugs win because they get to broadcast another negative to tie with the democrats.

that's all they know, smear, smear, smear.
if the words aren't nasty enough, say it with a sneer.

22. So where the f**k are the House Democrats on this?
Why didn't they respond immediately and tell Cantor it's none of his f-ing business who they have as Minority leader? Tell him to worry about his own party and keep his nose out of theirs.

Sheesh...have there ever been a bigger bunch of spineless wimps?

26. since when do the repubs get to choose the dem leadership????
We don't tell them who to elect, why do they try to tell us who 'should' be the minority leader??? Do you actually think they are saying what would be good for the democrats, or for the republicans???

But when alone he is a complete coward who would run like hell.

37. Reverse Psychology?
Edited on Mon Nov-08-10 09:52 AM by howaboutme
My take on it is that sometimes you need to shuffle the deck, or in the case of golf pull out a new ball. It can change momentum, dynamics and perceptions. There is a good case to be made that the Republicans want her to remain because they know the dynamics. This might be their feeble attempt at using reverse psychology.

36. And, election results must mean people do not want McConnell as
the minority leader in the Senate. Since when, does one party get to dictate who the leader is of the other party? Such nonsense.

They want to make All the Rules for the country. Nancy apparently is seen as a thorn in their side..... Have the R's noticed, they only control the House not the Senate and President

40. Who gives
a flying rat's ass (excuse my bluntness) what he thinks? Consider what he is thinking with in the first place. If Pelosi bothers him in any way, then I want her there annoying him and the other repubs every step of the way.
