Eric Cantor, via the MSM, weighs in on who Democrats shouldn't pick as their House leader

[ProSense]

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

Fox Noise: Cantor: Democrats 'Didn't Get the Message' From Voters if Pelosi Stays Leader

Politico: Cantor says Pelosi isn't listening to voters

AP: Cantor: If Pelosi stays, then Dems don't get it

The Hill: Cantor: Dems 'just didn't get the message' if Pelosi is made leader

CNN: GOPer says voters have 'had enough'

National Journal: Cantor: If Pelosi Wins, Dems Don't Get It

I'm not understanding why he thinks he has a say? Also, why is this comment worthy of such focus?

1. I think that's a good sign for Pelosi... they know she is going to be tough.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

16. We definitely shouldn't make it *easy* on them.

Give 'em hell Nancy!!!! :yourock:

[onehandle]

2. The most effective Speaker in decades laughs at you. nt

[OHdem10]

3. The Republicans simply do not want Nancy because she is

effective.

They want Hoyer so they can lean on him and get
things their way.

[butterfly77]

23. Your're right about Hoyer ...

and how does eric cantor know what the Democrats need when he is asking the public what to cut in the budget.

Didn't he and the republiCONS get elected because they said they already knew what they were going to cut and isn't that why some people voted for them..

4. All the more reason for Nancy to hold onto leadership.

She's obviously doing something right if Cantor's bugging out.

[Enrique]

5. ha! they were talking about her resigning from Congress

I'm looking forward to continuing to hear Pelosi's strong voice. I hope she takes a MORE visible role than she has up til now.

[Andy823]

6. Sound to me like

They are scared to death of Nancy! If they really thought putting her in as leader would hurt the democrats the wouldn't be saying a thing, period! Now they are doing their best to get rid of her because she will stand up to them and they don't want that, the want some spineless wimp they can push around, and Nancy isn't that person! If it makes them this worried, then we know she should be the one democrats put back as leader!

[polichick]

7. He thinks he has a say because the WH continuously reacts to what...

...the other side wants.

[no_hypocrisy]

8. GOP may be the majority in the House, but they don't get to tell the democrats who

their minority leader will be.

[tsuki]

9. Cantor reminds me of Disney's Goofy. How big are his feet?

[Drunken Irishman]

10. Well, Nancy it is!

[leveymg]

11. Notice how Cantor's not saying the same thing about Harry Reid?

Harry's a nice fellow, and has been a good friend to all his colleagues in the 111th Congress. But, enough already, Harry. We're way past collegiality.

[denimgirly]

13. LOL...So true!

[Qutzupalotl]

24. We kept our majority in the Senate.

Normally these kind of resignations from leadership follow losses of control. Besides, since Cantor works in the House with Pelosi, it's more appropriate for him or Boehner to comment on her. I doubt that someone like McConnell will say the same thing about Reid for the simple fact that he has to work with him, and according to Reid's schedule.

[Little Star]

29. Good point!

[emulatorloo]

12. Well the little toad is right to be scared. GO NANCY! n/t

[Parker CA]

14. Sounds like Cantor is pretty worried about the prospects of Nancy being leader. That's good news.

[denimgirly]

15. Ok, Now i want Nacy as Leader

[craigmatic]

17. Damn I hate that arrogant prick. But you can tell they're afraid of her.

Before they would be more subtle and say we want Pelosi to stay so we can run against her. They know Nancy Pelosi won't take their shit.

[moondust]

18. 100% behind Pelosi here.

Cantor can go fuck himself.

[golfguru]

19. It's a good thing Cantor has no vote on who the minority leader will be.

[GoCubsGo]

20. Oh, we "get it", you little prick.

Now, go change those pants you pissed up.

[opihimoimoi]

21. Who the fuck asked him??? He is a TOOL who thinks he can FOOL

[treestar]

22. Christine O'Donnell was telling Chris Coons what he ought

to do in Washington, too. :rofl:

Republicans have got to be the biggest egomaniacs in the world. And the biggest control freaks.

Amen! Who asked you, Can't tor?

[BrklynLiberal]

25. Oh goody. I know everyone has been waiting anxiously to hear his opinion....

Bwaa-ha-ha-ha-ha

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[PopSixSquish]

26. Hey Eric - STFU! Nobody Asked You.

Sic 'em Nancy.

[kentuck]

27. Word.

Cantor and the Repubs do not get to choose our leader.

[Little Star]

28. If they are against Pelosi, I'm all in for Pelosi!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

30. Nancy will eat Cantor alive

[budkin]

31. It would be nice if that guy were hit by a speeding bus. n/t

[gkhouston]

32. If Cantor truly believed that keeping Pelosi would be a sign of Dems "not getting it",

wouldn't he just keep his mouth shut and watch us tie the anchor around our feet? It's back to the usual choices: stupid, dishonest, or both.
