4 Typical hatchet job from typical leftist Obama-scum.

5 Obama delenda est

6 Nice job of picking apart the typically Shitty AP coverage

an easy, target-rich environment, but a nice job nonetheless

7 Just look at what prompted Obama to leave the negotiations ... Cantor asking why the cuts kept getting smaller with each passing meeting.  Clearly, Obama has lost control of the Democratic caucus and has to make concession after concession to his own party's caucus.  Meanwhile, Reid who is on the other end of the caucus, is bashing Cantor.  Reid can't even control his own Senate caucus.  He knows Cantor hit "pay dirt" with those questions on why the number kept getting smaller .. it's because the President is getting smaller and Reid can't help either.  What a weak party leader Obama has become.

8 Nice post. I hate the fucking MSM.

9 Eric Cantor = The only one among Boehner, Obama, and Reid who actually has at least half a brain. Unfortunately those three idiots are the ones who are going to make the decisions.

10 The differences between a journalist and a liberal troll:

1.  The journalist gets paid
2.  ?

11 All this Cantor bashing is starting to feel just a bit scripted, orchestrated.  Almost like the return of Journolist.  Nah, couldn't be.

12 Day by day, we inch closer to a society where the mainstream media is indistinguishable from Soviet propaganda ministries. The dissidents shall be destroyed.

13 Very nice ArthurK.

"But he doesn't have anything on!" said Representative Cantor.

"Good Lord, let us hear the voice of an innocent Congressman!" said the citizen and whispered to another what the Congressman had said.

"A Congressman said that he doesn't have anything on!"

Finally everyone was saying, "He doesn't have anything on!"

Emperor Obama shuddered, for he knew that they were right, but he thought, "The procession must go on!" He carried himself even more proudly, and the chamberlains walked along behind carrying the train that wasn't there.

Hans Christian Anderson, "Emperor Obama's New Clothes"

15 Cantor, When jug-ears rails the next time, ask him if he can pick up radar ranges and space aliens with those ears of his. While he's busy crying, smack Harry in the nose for me.

16 I think the left hates Cantor for many of the same reasons they hate black conservatives. 

17 In which we see the libtards open their playbooks to the page with that hoary old standby: The "gravitas" gambit.

These people are a friggin hivemind. The Army and Navy should study them for some pointers on networked warfighting.

If they were not so full of shit and obvious about their collusion, they really would be worth 15 points for the Democrats in an election.

18 @16 The left hates Cantor only because they need someone to put up on the screen for this week's two minute hate.  It's not personal for the journalists and operatives (I repeat myself).  It's just business.  They would have been just as happy to roast Boehner or Shakes McConnell, but Cantor is the one they see as the real pain in the ass right now.

19 Used to be a time that when at war, one side took out the enemy communications network. Is this no longer opropros?

21 Eric Cantor - punches babies and eats kittens

22 @19 What do you propose to do?

23 @20 We are on the verge of shitting in his boot and making him eat it, if only we could sequester McConnell, McCain and McCain's personal Charleston poofter for a week or two. 

24 This did give me a bit of a chuckle. It's in reference to the "Young Guns":

"The three of them know that my job is to make sure that they're well-qualified and ready to take my place," Boehner said with a semiserious grin, "at the appropriate moment."

25 Shame works wonders. Let's start by protesting local news networks. Ugliness should progress from there. My suggestions would get me banned or jailed. It's past time to act.

26 Oh, and speaking of people on our side who should just shut up for a while, here is that dunce, Larry Kudlow, off on another one of his LSD dreams-this time lauding McConnell's cleverness.

09:39 15Jul11 RTRS-S&P SAYS COULD LOWER U.S. RATINGS WITHIN 3 MONTHS

We may lower the long-term rating on the U.S. by one or more notches into the 'AA' category in the next three months, if we conclude that Congress and the Administration have not achieved a credible solution to the rising U.S. government debt burden and are not likely to achieve one in the foreseeable future.

Yeah, so um, upping the debt limit without substantial (economically suicidal, I'm told) cuts means higher interest rates by the end of Q3. As substantial (compared to the current deficit) cuts are not even being discussed, well, I'll leave that to Kratos.

29 @25 the local news networks ain't that relevant to this-they mostly do "it bleeds-it leads".  You need to target the nexus of libtard bloggers-bloggers at libtard journalism outfits-journalists at libtard journalism outfits.

30 Good for Cantor for getting their dander up at him. Of course, the whole idea of "negotiating" with sub-human parasites like the Dems strikes me as absurd, but such is the way of the world. I'd sooner negotiate with a cockroach as to whether the contents of my kitchen cabinets were fair game or not.

I just wish that Cantor had gone all Judge Smails on Obama and said "You'll get nothing and like it!". That stupid fuck Obama might have even recognized the reference, since Caddyshack's about golf.

31 What exactly is a brash "Southern" style and how is it different from a brash "Northern" or "Western" style?

36 26 Oh, and speaking of people on our side who should just shut up for a while, here is that dunce, Larry Kudlow, off on another one of his LSD dreams-this time lauding McConnell's cleverness.

I have been reading that McConnell and Reid are negotiating and that they are developing a plan which includes potentially appointing a board of reps and senators to help make cuts. (McConnell is in the process of encouraging his colleagues to be supportive.) Meanwhile, the House is still intent on passing their "cut, cap, and balance" legislation next week and they still dislike McConnell's proposal. So you have McConnell trying to get the Senate GOP to go one way and the House GOP has their own approach. Between the two, though, you really get the sense that the House GOP is far more determined.

37 This ain't Cloud City. I do look a bit like Billy D, tho

38 Dudes on edge... what with the lack of fundraising and vacation time and now this uppity southern boy is questioning him? Why the unheard of disrespect! Nobody questions the O, ask the media.

Laurie is a liar.  Note that stuff about the "House sergeant at arms had asked her to fly on the same militaryk aircraft as {former Speaker Denny Hastert}"

Now she may be so damn dumb that "all those military jets look alike" and all that. 

But facts are facts:  Denny Hastert flew home to Chi Town in a Gulfstream.  It's a nice corporate jet--but the biggest version  of it seats maybe 15 people--and confgured as an executive style jet maybe 10 or 12.  And corporate executives routinely fly Los Angeles to New York in them non stop with no problem.

So the military did offer a Gulfstream to Pelosi to fly from D.C. to her home district in San Francisco.

But that was not good enough for the taxidermist's mistake.   Nope she worried that "it might not have the range to fly nonstop to San Francisco from D.C."   Well bullshit--Gulfstreams regularly fly New York to Paris or New  York to Madrid.

What the Pelosi palooza wanted was more seats so she could ferry her worthless family, friends and staff around using up so much booze that they had $100,000 liqour bills.

She demanded--and she got--a frickin 757--a commercial airliner design that seats 200+ people.  Little Laurie Cockholster may not recognize the difference between a Gulfstream and a 757--"ooh they're big airplanes and they all look alike to me".  Cantor was right to point out that Pelosi was being goddamned extravagant with her demand for a 757.

What the hell Pelosi didn't need an airplane anyway, she could have just hopped on her broom and flown solo to SFO.

42 I bet I could spin everything in that article to be reflected positively.

"Big Pain." "Some winced!"

He 'afflicts the comfortable', as all good pseudo-journalists and faux-revolutionaries should!

"A backstabber!"

He seeks to ensure that the person in charge is the strongest and most flexible.  He's survival of the fittest and evolution in action!

"Credibility = shot. The rest of the room = veterans."

A lack of credibility with veterans who have no credibility of their own has a certain cache of its own.

"...explaining that he was only trying to understand a difference in spending cut proposals."

He's magnanimous and diplomatic.

"In contrast to Wednesday's tiff, the White House meeting Thursday was described as "composed and polite" ... Cantor did not speak during the day's session, ..."

Politeness in situations where it's not appropriate is not a sign of strength.  By causing that 'tiff', Cantor proves his strength.

"... has made a career of confrontation with a brash Southern style"

He takes no prisoners and is committed to his cause.  That's commendable in a time where folks have no commitment.

43 I hate drama from junior high girls and it's unamusing and a waste of time in our POTUS.  Obama is embarrassing and I'm proud to say I never once considered voting for him.

The meme that strikes me as most ridiculous is "no hobbies."

What serious political journalist ever posed a question on "what are your hobbies" to a candidate ?  Assuming it were true with respect to Cantor (which I doubt), is a lack of hobbies some sort of psychological red flag ?

Is the fact that Obama spends Memorial Day and other major events wrapped in his golf hobby rather than doing his job to be taken as a plus ?

Generation Slack has found its rallying cry at last.  Hobbyists of the World Unite - Cast Off Your Chains.

 

48 Yeah, that Eric Cantor is a real psycho. He has almost no hobbies? I've heard he has one hobby, of buying an Obama doll online, taking delivery , sticking pins into it until he tires of it, then ripping the head off it , and shitting down it's neck, and then throwing it away like a used condom. Personally I'd like to see Cantor's hobby become an Olympic sport.

49 They tell you who they fear by who they attack.

50 Cantor is doing EXACTLY what we sent them there to do. Stop the Obama agenda before there's nothing left. He's doing an admirable job, and as an added bonus, he's irritating the child-god. The adults will take back over in 2013, and we'll deal with all the debt, economy and even Pelosi's horseshit. Mean time, popcorn!

Great news ...

(Reuters Health) - Black men are half as likely to die at any given time if they're in prison than if they aren't, suggests a new study of North Carolina inmates.

The black prisoners seemed to be especially protected against alcohol- and drug-related deaths, as well as lethal accidents and certain chronic diseases.

But that pattern didn't hold for white men, who on the whole were slightly more likely to die in prison than outside, according to findings published in Annals of Epidemiology.

... so Obama would be better off in prison ?

obama and rinos do not like this uppity jew. Alinksy rules on him.

53 40 @36 for some reason, this McConnell thing reminds of the Gang of Howevermany and the Nuclear Option.

I don't see why he's even moving on this. Politico (yeah, I know) interviewed GOP House members RE the idea yet again tonight and they're still throwing cold water on it. Tom Rooney (a member of the whip team) was quoted as saying, “Everybody I’ve talked to over here says, ‘No way’”. He also strongly dislikes the proposal himself. Likewise, RSC chairman Jim Jordan is dead-set against it. Rep. Ryan is quoted elsewhere as saying he's "not a fan" because it denies Congress the power to cut spending. (And so on and so forth.) So how do McConnell and Reid think they're ever going to pass the thing?

54 I'll hand it to the writer, Laurie Kellman, that was a smooth hatchet job.

And i guarantee you she thinks she is just oh so clever and that no one can possibly see through her. There's a chick who used to write for the paper here and now just does some blogging for mags and she'll sware up and down till she's blue in the face that she's not biased at all even though every single thing she writes is just like that article about Cantor. They really do think people are too stupid to see the obvious.

*May be some personal anger involved there, as I hate Norfolk and really like Charleston, and thought the Norfolk Navy needed to be scaled down in lieu of closing the Charleston Navy Base.  I dislike the way we have concentrated our Navy in only two major ports on each coast.  It would not require a genius to figure out how to nullify our ability to project power overseas with a few convenient LNG tanker explosions.

The answer is simple: She made it up. She just made it up and fucking put it right there in print as fact.

Boehner is a cigarette-smoking, golf-playing dealmaker from a blue-collar background who is regarded with deep affection by members on both sides of the aisle.

66 53 ...But the rest of the GOP leadership are retards and cowards... 

On the Senate side. With regards to the House side, Hensarling, Price, and Roskam have 3 of the most conservative records in Congress and they've never been shy about their feelings towards the Dems. For some reason, though, they aren't asked to do cable TV interviews as much as some other conservatives.

Video gaming = dreams of shooting people
Stamp collecting = doofus
Dog breeding = closet gay

etc.

72 68 Kiss of death: they're actually writing nice about Boehner.

Only because they want to further a wedge between him and Cantor. The Dems went on-record yesterday to admit that has been and is one of their strategies. Interesting how the MFM carried their water on that one by creating such a big soap opera out of their rivalry. It's almost like they colluded on it. _/s

73 Eric Cantor once asked a man in Washington a tough question, just to see him cry.

74 We went with "No hobbies" because my editor thought "the ritual sacrifice of Christian babies" would be a tough sell.

75 Once, while out for a jog, Eric shot Rick Perry.

Did you guys read the esquire magazine blowjob of obama?

It's times like this I wish I  knew how to post a story, tee hee.

77 80 Cantor should have been laughing at everything the Indonesian Imbecile said, today.  They all should have.  This Kabuki theater is really unappetizing and stupid.

He apparently didn't say anything. The only two people we're told said anything was Boehner and Obungler. Boehner supposedly told Obama that the constantly changing plan still does nothing to address the crisis. At some point, Obungler warned Congress that they have 24-36hrs to give him something (after respective conference/caucus meetings) and that failure to do so would result in consideration of Plan B. Conicidentally, only the Senate Dems and the WH know what Plan B is.

93 88 @84 Plan B is the All-in Smear The GOP plan.

I've been wondering if it's their "14th Amendment solution". Reid didn't buy that last time but he was also praising Cantor only last week. It will be interesting to see what Obama says about Congress later today and whether he postures as "above-the-fray"* or fiercely attacks the Rs. 

_{*Which is the game he played most of the time in those interviews yesterday}

94 Listening to the rewind of Levin's show from earlier tonight: He's playing audio of Harry Reid, who sounds like he is either drunk or has had himself a stroke.

95
What in the hell could Plan B possibly be? Between Obama and the Democrat Senate there hasn't even been a credible budget for over two years.

96
Oh Christ I'd forgotten about that 14th Amendment magic trick. It's been legally debunked -- which in Obama's case means nothing.

100 OT: Democrats to Introduce Gun Control Legislation [Today]

"Democrat Representatives Maloney, Cummings and McCarthy, all members of the Minority on the House Oversight Committee chaired by Republican Congressman Issa, plan to hold a press conference tomorrow to announce new gun control anti-gun trafficking legislation in light of Operation Fast and Furious."

101 103 What in the hell could Plan B possibly be? Between Obama and the Democrat Senate there hasn't even been a credible budget for over two years.

Some Senate Dems have said that the results of what Reid and McConnell negotiate is their Plan B, which is McConnell's proposal plus (presumably the Dems' idea) of a congressional commission that would consider spending cuts and possibly tax increases. But I'm sure there's lots of small print that the rest of the Senate has not yet been told. Then you consider that the WH is also involved, which complicates the matter. Are they endorsing the Senate Dems on this one or do they have something else up their sleeves?

102

71 et al - I've been at the Yahoo site for an hour counting and commenting  the anti-Semitic references (and abuse-reporting, FWIW) in the comments - it's fully 10%+ as of now, with highlights like "go work your magic in Israel where you belong," "AIPAC shill," etc...  as if Israel has a rat's ass to do with our debt ceiling.

Sock-puppets, 'turfers and thumbs-downers abound as well, OFC, but I can't get over how more than 1/10 commenters (almost all of whom are presumably prog-left) can torture a Zionist conspiracy out of our debt negotations.

 

103 Speaking of Boehner's remark on how negotiating with the Dems is like dealing with Jello, I'm listening to Rep. Ryan* on Greta and he says he heard 3 different overall numbers yesterday (Thurs.). It's disgusting how the Dems feel they can just keep moving the goal posts to the point that they're asking for spending increases, as Senator Kyl told NRO. My opinion is that the House should focus on their BBA and let the Dems decide if they're willing to risk it all for the sake of the 2012 election.

_{*Ryan's still a firm no on voting for any tax increases. I hope that remains the case.}

104

By all accounts, he has almost no hobbies

 

You know if he had any hobbies, they'd say something like:

"By many accounts, he likes to fritter his time away on: 

a.  The Golf Course (oops, maybe they wouldn't pick that one!)

b.  meaningless hours running on a treadmill

c.  arranging the hair and wardrobes of his extensive doll collection.

With all the time spent on his frivolous hobbies during the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression, unnamed sources vouch that Eric Cantor is conspicuously absent when the House is in session.  Some of his colleagues, who wish to remain off the record, complain that Eric's time spent on hobby X have left him unprepared and caught flat footed for many important meetings.  'We don't think he understands the seriousness of his job, complained one concerned aide.  We think he is completely unfit to do his job.  He needs to either give up his obsession with hobby X and do his job that the people elected him to do, or he needs to do the right thing and resign.'"

105 ...and Politico is trying to find dirt on Cantor while The Hill talks about Obama's "prickly relationship" with Cantor. From Obama's interview with a Philly TV network:

“I am willing to work with everybody, including Eric Cantor, to solve problems. My relationship with all the leaders has been cordial, it has been professional.”

They also detail another incident:

CantorÂ’s emergence as a leader in the talks seems to have riled the president, who reportedly snapped at the No. 2 Republican on two different occasions this week.

Another sharp exchange reportedly happened during TuesdayÂ’s negotiating session.

According to media reports, Cantor challenged Obama to show him the outline of his “grand bargain” for $4 trillion in deficit savings on paper.

“Frankly, your Speaker has it,” Obama shot back. “Am I dealing with him, or am I dealing with you?”

106 I had forgotten this, but Cantor was the individual who received the "I won" retort.

107 116 That last bit should read that he's still firmly against any tax increases.

108

Funny thing.  If you are a Republican and you like to golf (like the Bushes did), you are an elite out of touch country club Republican.  If you are a Democrat and like to golf (Obama), you are lauded for enjoying the great outdoors and just trying to get a respite from the heavy stress of being the Executive in Chief.

If you are a Republican and you don't have any hobbies, you are criticized and deemed weird.  If you are a Democrat, and you don't have any hobbies, you are someone who is dedicated and married to your job. 

I hate the double standards.  It drives me nuts.

 

109
I don't understand why Obama would go for the McConnell plan, unless he flat-out intends to repudiate the requirement to propose cuts.

110

115 -  I care that yahoos are allowed to bash Jews while others are sacrosanct, particularly in a context that has nothing to do with ethnicity - and that Jews tolerate it so blithely.

Another example from a couple minutes ago - Does Michelle Bockman (sic) know her husband's "a closet queen ?"  Aren't these the same people who tell us there's nothing wrong with being gay and would crucify any Republican who called someone a "closet queen" (e.g. Coulter's "faggot" reference to Edwards) ? 

I don't often make a hobby of this but every month or so I like to rail against prog-left bigotry on Yahoo.

Call it my "hobby."

111 123 WTF?  Does a written plan have to be "dealing" with anyone?  Barky is just mimicing movie lines, now.

He was likely trying to exploit the Boehner/Cantor rivalry by parroting the mocking attitudes found on such sites like Politico. Cantor had indeed told some sites that cover the Hill that Boehner should share more information about the debt talks. Since then, the Conference has reported that Boehner has been better about keeping them informed, but the Dems are still salivating over the prospect of driving a permanent wedge.

112 124 I don't understand why Obama would go for the McConnell plan, unless he flat-out intends to repudiate the requirement to propose cuts.

The muddled nature of the joint McConnell/Reid proposal likely appeals to him, as do the possibilities. It supposedly contains $1.5T/10yrs in spending cuts, all of to which he has agreed. So there would be no surprises outside of this congressional commission. Signing onto a joint proposal would also pressure the House to fall in line and it would also give him the upper-hand. But I still don't see this passing muster with the Senate GOP Conference. Even if they are whipped enough that they agree to vote for it, the strong opposition by the House (including almost everyone in the leadership) would be difficult to overcome.

when she gets that weird deer in headlights look shes being completely serious and on verge of becoming unhinged

A Brit who's wormed her way into cable and is a big fan of Neville Chamberlain.  Quality history I see is taught there.. makes me feel better about California schools

114 I know the left, and many Conseratives, are out to attack anyone who disagrees with the "America wants us to compromise" position, but, shouldn't we be wondering how many "Journolists" are receiving a little extra from Soros and Co?

115 Recent glasses has been bad, not read online are not very clear, see today at the site you feel on many glasses, hope this website, later will often concern!!!!!

116 I will email him with congratulations for getting the JEF all wee-weed up.

117 Journalism died decades ago, the rotting, shambling corpse that remains needs a gasoline bath, a light and a crowd with shotguns as backup - take no chances with zombies. We don't have a stream of good information, it just doesn't exist - you have to dig like crazy to be sure of anything. The majority of people are living with a stream of lies. This is even more dangerous than it sounds.

118 I love patriotism, in all flavors, especially this one.

119 The Left realizes that they are canonizing Cantor, they keep this up and he moves into VP consideration.

120 Did she forget to mention he is a Jooooo? Or did I just miss it? I've never been good at picking up on "code words."

121 I sent an email to his congressional office telling him to hang in there and that he has my support and the support of then non-wussified faction of the Republican Party

122 Morning. I hear that the Federal Gov is going to try and indict Eric Cantor today for the Lindburgh Kidnapping and the Cayle Anthony Murder

123 I sure hope the (R) leadership fully comprehends the depth of anger at the free-spenders and the inability of the (R) supporters in the middle class to pay even one nickel more in higher taxes. You cave, you're sent home next election. Not a threat, a promise. Posted by: Downscaled Upscale at July 15, 2011 06:58 AM (IhHdM) In the past talk like that always got me mad since I thought that defeating obama is the most important task at hand, HOWEVER, I now agree that if the the Republican "Leadership" folds like some cheap deck chairs, there will be a massive revolt putting the 2012 elections at risk

124 I just scrolled through quite quickly after noticing the comment at #52 and again, just above at #135 referencing his Jewish heritage. This is what stupefies the Dems the most. That a Jew, a JEW!!! Mind you, could possibly be opposed to Teh Won. Heresy (in their minds), at it's utmost. And on top of that (shudder), he's Southern! Armeggedon (for them), has arrived. Would that we could have a majority in the majority like this Man. Tim

125 "Democrat Representatives Maloney, Cummings and McCarthy, all members of the Minority on the House Oversight Committee chaired by Republican Congressman Issa, plan to hold a press conference tomorrow to announce new gun control anti-gun trafficking legislation in light of Operation Fast and Furious."


How long of a bill is it? One sentence?

"From now on the U.S. Government won't arm Mexican drug lords and gun runners."

126 I have also noticed the seminar commenters on blog feeds. The paid commenters are getting easier to spot. "Bush recession" is a dead give away. The sentence structures are all the same. It is almost like they are copying and pasting from a script. The CBS article that called this the Obama depression really got under dear leaders' skin. They are really trying to squash that narrative.

127 If you are not getting flak, you are not over the target.

128 Listening to the rewind of Levin's show from earlier tonight: He's playing audio of Harry Reid, who sounds like he is either drunk or has had himself a stroke.

I'm listening to the rewind now; one thing Mark leaves out is how the wheezing fuck fell a couple months ago while jogging or jerking off in public or something; and how his already hideous mug was even more disfigured when he'd appear in front of the cameras with his buddy, Chuckie Sleaze, propping him up with his hand up his ass.

129

Crazy Jewman attacks our mulatto Jesus!!

Boehner save us!

130 All this Cantor bashing is starting to feel just a bit scripted, orchestrated.  Almost like the return of Journolist.  Nah, couldn't be.

We all agree that the JournoList was a red herring.

131 #48 gets my vote.

132

Help me out.  Who does Mitch McConnell look like?  I can't quite place it, but he looks like somebody else who was famous once.

You're thinking of Punxatawney Phil, the famous groundhog.

133 Tonight, the role of "G W Bush" will be played by Eric Cantor. The play, however, remains exactly the same.

134 #148 Steve Forbes?

135 So when are they going to start with the Blood Matzohs?

136

So when are they going to start with the Blood Matzohs?

Say, I'm an ignant Methodist- these bloody matzohs you talkin' about anything like bloody marys?

137

... interestingly, they fail to include the fact that he IS THE ONLY JEWISH REPUBLICAN in the House...

 

 

138 152 So when are they going to start with the Blood Matzohs?

... shhhhhhh!!!      _{^{(... our little secret ...)}}

139

You should have heard the ABC news bites on the radio.

Total anti-Cantor bias.

140 All our plans....ruined!!

141 They were wincing because they all were thinking 'WTF does don't call my bluff' mean.'

142 McConnell looks like a Galapagos turtle, which was depicted in cartoons from our childhood.

143 MFM: Comrades, your 2 minutes of hate on Cantor begins now. And actually runs for days or weeks or months

144 A lib I know posted on Facebook that Cantor a scumbag and concluded that he needed to be "physically hurt" if "shared sacrifice" was not the answer to Obama's spending. I reminded them that that is a federal crime with a 6-year sentence. They took it down and replaced it with an even more incoherent version, without naming names.

145 Maybe one of his hobbies is punking out metrosexuals who have no idea WTF they are talking about.

146 OR as the DNCC calls him, "the Jew Eric Cantor" had better learn his place...

147 All of a sudden Boehner is now viewed with "deep affection" when just a few months ago he was evil incarnate.

148 The Joooooooooosssssssssss!!!!

Very strange that Cantor seems to be taking the hardline on this. Previous maneuvers show that he isn't this conservative.

Is this a good cop/bad cop play that is going on. It would be great if that were the case and Boehner and Cantor were playing the media.

149 Listening to Levin on the way home from work, he quoted John Kyl as saying that the democrats came to the deficit reduction meetings with requests for $100 billion in spending increases, including another extension of the 99 week unemployment benefits.  Who is being serious here?

150 Well parsed, ArthurK.

Leni Riefenstahl would surely have approved of Kellman's craft.

151

The differences between a journalist and a liberal troll:

1.  The journalist gets paid

No, they all get paid but the journalist must use his real name.

152 ...the democrats came to the deficit reduction meetings with requests for $100 billion in spending increases, including another extension of the 99 week unemployment benefits.

Assuming this is true, it's fucking crazy. We're already a trillion and a half in the hole, and these assholes want to make the hole even deeper??

Are there any sane Democrats left?

153 Cantor delenda est You do realize you just called him a girl, don't you?

154

I can't believe the media really thinks we are so stupid as to fall for this new boogeyman stuff on Cantor.  They are about as subtle as a train wreck with this.

They utterly failed at every other attempt to personalize their differences with Republicans and make a cartoon out of somebody.  They tried it with Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Rand Paul, John Boehner, and now Eric Cantor. 

You know what America is saying?  Who the fuck is Eric Cantor?

155 > 170 Cantor delenda est You do realize you just called him a girl, don't you? Posted by: Cato the Elder Cantor delendus est I never took latin in high school. Forgot it's one of those gender biased languages.

156 This info is a terrific read. Thanks for the info.I am looking forward for more updates.
