Now this isn’t exactly what Eric Cantor is saying. Sort of. But not exactly. So how do we know what Cantor will do if he wins in November? Simple. Eric Cantor is the Majority Leader. When he became Majority Leader, he ceased working for the people of Virginia’s 7th District and took the job as […]

Democrat Gerry Connolly was the only Virginia Congressman to vote in favor of the bill masquerading as legislation to save us from the “fiscal cliff” that actually only makes the cliff higher. Or more precisely, the fiscal abyss into which we are falling even deeper. Even Bobby Scott (rightfully) voted no to this massive spending bill […]

It never fails. When the Republicans lose an election, they always start listening to the Liberal media telling them that they are too far to the right. They toss principles out the window and run to the left. And it never works. And even worse, instead of gaining support and popularity, they end up alienating […]

The New York Times writes today, “The 112th Congress is set to enter the Congressional record books as the least productive body in a generation, passing a mere 173 public laws as of last month. . . . Appropriations bills, once the central function of the legislative branch, have been ditched in favor of short-term spending […]

Woo Hoo! But I doubt Harry Reid will even consider being responsible with America’s money. From the Washington Times: In a move that serves as a capstone to Rep. Ron Paul’s colorful career, the House on Wednesday approved a bill that would let Congress’s chief investigators conduct a full audit of the Federal Reserve’s shrouded decision-making process.

Ok, I really don’t like the idea that this bill “prevents default”. If the government shuts down, we still have money. Defaulting on the debts will be a choice by the President, not an inevitability. And the task before Congress is twofold. Protect the credit rating and keep the government running. Simply borrowing more money […]

President Obama knows. We all know. House Speaker John Boehner will cave. Oh, he will talk the talk and walk the walk right up to where he gives the other side everything they want. I have repeatedly predicted Boehner would cave, hopping I would be wrong. Today: Boehner caved. Only he wants us to believe […]

Is Vegas taking bets on what time the Republicans will cave on the debt deal? If not, they should. Everyting is lining up for a massive cave in by the Republican leadership and the Conservative outcry for Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s head on a platter (figuratively, of course) is mounting.

The discussion as far as the debt ceiling seems to have lost. Republicans are caving in at all turns. It would appear that two of the top Republicans (Jon Kyl in the Senate and Eric Cantor in the House) are willing to backtrack on the promise to not increase taxes. In Jon Kyl’s case, he […]

The Hill reports: House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) credited Tea Party activists with refocusing GOP attention on an expanding federal government, calling the grassroots movement a “surge protector.” Speaking at an event in San Diego, Calif., on Monday, Cantor said that Tea Party voters propelled Republicans to majority status in the House last year, […]
