What’s happening with Obamacare repeal, you ask? That is a fantastic question. But at this point, it’s quite clear that Republicans who campaigned on repealing the ACA have zero intention of doing so now that the opportunity has presented itself.
Seven Republican Senators voted against a so-called “clean repeal” bill Wednesday....
Defeated House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) hit the Sunday news programs this morning in a curt manner and seemed to lay some blame for his loss on radio talk show host Laura Ingraham cheapening the debate.
Laura took it in stride.
Hilarious this a.m. to be hear new take on #Cantor
loss:...
Should be a bumper sticker for those who oppose immigration amnesty and voted last night to defeat Eric Cantor.
Alternative national headline: “I’m against lawlessness, and I vote”
That lawlessness is reflected at the border where tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors are crossing over in anticipation of amnesty, or at least being...
No, I didn’t see it coming.
We didn’t even plan on live coverage of VA-07, instead focusing on whether Lindsey Graham would avoid a runoff (he did).
At some point I started seeing tweets of early VA-07 numbers and thought someone was trolling. Then I checked and it was no joke.
The night of,...
In a stunning “historic” upset, Professor David Brat upset Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor.
Noticed the trend of legislators going beyond issuing press releases and fully embracing social media to distribute and market their point-of-view?
Rep. Darrell Issa has been especially active in marketing himself and his committee’s activities, including design-heavy graphics and an active twitter account.
Today Rep. Eric Cantor’s office launched a new website, Cosponsor.gov,...
The Young Guns Network, and its YG Action Fund, were started by two former aides to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.
The Young Guns have infuriated supporters of Richard Mourdock in the Indiana Senate primary race, as well as many conservatives who had no stake in the race, by spending over $100,000...
The Young Guns Action Fund, run by allies of Eric Cantor and to which Cantor has contributed, has committed $100,000 to supporting Dick Lugar.
I like Cantor,...
Eric Cantor has been a focus of verbal attacks from Democrats and the Obama administration, and has been singled out to be demonized as part of 2012 campaign strategy:
“The President needs to put a plan on the table.” That was the message at the Republican House press conference this morning, as multiple House Reps stepped to the microphone.
This really is the heart of the problem. The House Republicans have passed a budget, but the Democrats in the...
Eric Cantor has been fighting the good fight for years. Why not?
Here’s the audio (h/t Ace sidebar) of his account of the blow up with Obama yesterday:
But Mr Obama was less inclined to be so conciliatory. He immediately presented Mr Netanyahu with a list of 13 demands designed both to the end the feud with his administration and to build Palestinian confidence ahead of the resumption of peace talks. Key among those demands was a...
Per ABC News, Obama stormed out of a meeting with Eric Cantor and others when Republicans suggested a short term solution to the debt ceiling dispute because...
There are many cheap tricks used against bloggers.
Perhaps the most common is to attribute the views expressed in comments to the blogger. The problem there is that the nature of a comment section is to give people other than the blogger the chance to express an opinion, so one has nothing to do...
I have documented how Glenn Greenwald peddles the most rank of dual loyalty charges against American Jewish supporters of Israel, by using the phrase “Israel-Firsters.”
Now Greenwald is at it again, suggesting that soon-to-be Majority Leader Eric Cantor has pledged allegiance to Israel.
Greenwald’s blog post is titled Eric Cantor’s Pledge...
The anti-Zionist fringe nut who threatened to kill Eric Cantor was an Obama supporter and campaign contributor.
You know exactly what I mean when I say, “Can you imagine if Norman Leboon threatened to kill Obama and Leboon were a McCain or Tea Party contributor?”
We would never hear the end of it.
We...
The Politico has an article detailing the Obama administration’s targeting of Congressman Eric Cantor. According to the article, Obama’s political advisers are coordinating a campaign in the media and through unions “to introduce him to voters before he can introduce himself.”
In other words, the President who promised to end politics as...
