Cantor is a farking scumbag. He's up there with McConnell and Inhofe in terms of skeevy Republican politicians.

Holy shiat! A Republican hypocrite?!

And I thought I'd seen it all...

So Cantor has a wide stance on the issue of job creation?

Cantor is human garbage.

Blatant hypocrisy is part of the Republican plank. He's just doing his job. Non-story.

Huh. And it isn't even defense dollars.

This is not surprising to anyone who subscribes to the "Eric Cantor is the biggest douchebag in congress." theory.

/irrefutable proof of the theory

metametameta: Blatant hypocrisy is part of the Republican plank. He's just doing his job. Non-story.

Cantor is the definition of douchebag.

This is the same asshole who invested in a fund that would only do well if the United States economy collapsed.

It appears that Cantor has been taking integrity lessons for Ron "I'll vote no, but give me my earmarks" Paul.

There should not be one person surprised about this.

Tebow>Cantor

Actual Farking: It's long been clear that Cantor is a cynical, unprincipled politician and particularly so when it comes to obtaining federal dollars for his constituency. Nothing new here.

If the money is for his constituency, then he seems to have some kind of principles.

He should get together with Rick Perry and go bowling sometime.

Anybody else find it that the is not used?

From the article - Cantor along with Rep. Bobby Scott wrote that, "High speed rail provides a sensible and viable solution to our region's transportation challenges.

It is estimated that creating a high speed railway through Virginia will generate as many as 185,500 jobs"

The Republican Party?

djkutch: I'm confident a Republican apologist will be along shortly to explain this.

Nah, he's too busy calling me "gay" in another thread.

DROxINxTHExWIND: /or did he know that it wouldn't matter?

the beauty of the liberal media conspiracy narrative.

The trolls are having a pow-wow to figure out how to deal with this. My guess is "LOL libs are dumb."

mrmyxolodian: Tebow>Cantor

Sorry, but as bad as Cantor is:

Cantor > Tebow.

THAT GUY IS THE FIRST BIT ON THE NECK

At least RON PAUL! uses the "I don't always support wasteful spending, but when I do it should be on the people I represent" conceit. Cantor wants to publicly claim that he hates spending, but he admits behind closed doors that the economic theory behind stimulus is sound and wants all the benefits of such spending ALONG with the political benefit of reassuring his supporters that cutting spending will grow the economy.

mrmyxolodian: Tebow>Cantor

Ha!

It's true, Eric Cantor has no dick.

djkutch: I'm confident a Republican apologist will be along shortly to explain this.

The government was giving away tax dollars. It would be irresponsible if Cantor didn't try to get some for his district. That's their money too. That stuff about jobs and clearing congestion was just a cunning smokescreen.

Obama made him be socialist. He didn't want to, he was forced into it and he didn't like it one bit. He's been showering with Borax ever since, trying to get out the socialist stench.

coeyagi: djkutch: I'm confident a Republican apologist will be along shortly to explain this.

Nah, he's too busy calling me "gay" in another thread.

Or he's busy listening to Limbaugh and jotting down the talking points for this issue.

And goalposts get moved from "Federal spending doesn't create jobs. It's all needless, wasteful pork" to "Of course Eric Cantor tried to secure federal spending to create jobs in his district. There's nothing hypocritical about that. That's what his constituents elected him to do." In 3.....2 .....1.....

Oh, it's not just cons, Eric Cantor himself said that:

"Government doesn't create jobs and build wealth; entrepreneurs, risk takes, and private businesses do."

A quote of his from the following book: Young Guns: A New Generation of Conservative Leaders (new window)

If I were president Obama, this sort of thing would make me absolutely insane.

I did the honors:

Since this involves a prominent GOPer being a hypocrite, I predict not a shiate will be given by the "liberal" media. Then again, it is a "dog bites man" story if there ever was one.

LasersHurt: The trolls are having a pow-wow to figure out how to deal with this. My guess is "LOL libs are dumb."

That was first on the list, yes.

I tried getting "Virginia is for lovers" worked in there somehow and we all got into a gigglefit with shops of Cantor in fetish leather as "minority whip" with Rick Santorum literally gnawing on a pillow.

Nope, this guy's a douchebag. At least with Hitler you can say the trains ran on time and you never had to deal with Friday evening synagogue traffic.
