Eric Cantor Screws The Jobless And Remains The Worst Congressman In America
There are times when decorum and goodwill in politics become so onerous that even the most sedate observer must say enough and address outrageous behavior with candor and conviction. For the past nine months, Republicans have deliberately opposed any measures that create jobs or help America’s struggling economy despite their promise to make job creation their highest priority. The Republicans’ Draconian spending cuts would have cost millions of jobs, and the deficit reduction frenzy did nothing to help the economy and in fact, was responsible for S&P’s decision to downgrade America’s stellar credit rating because Republicans refused to take a balanced approach of spending cuts with revenue increases. Throughout the 112th Congress, Republicans have portrayed President Obama as an ineffective leader who is responsible for the nation’s debt as well as the sluggish economy and high unemployment numbers.
The president has attempted to work with Republicans to help the economy and it has not paid off except for securing a 13 month unemployment benefit extension and an increase in the nation’s debt ceiling. Republicans have obstructed the president and Democrats’ attempts at creating jobs 15 times because they want more Americans destitute and are hopeful that their policies will increase the number of Americans living in poverty. So far, they have been very successful at keeping the economy stagnate and millions of Americans jobless and instead of feeling shame, they are rejoicing over the horrible conditions they have caused. It does not matter which Republican in Congress one examines, they are all vile human beings who are fortunate millions of Americans don’t converge on their offices to physically throw them out on the street where they belong.
John Boehner and Mitch McConnell are liars of the first order and master obstructionists, but it is Eric Cantor who may be the worst congressman in America. Cantor has shown his abject contempt for the American people every time he opens his mouth; he is undoubtedly a master fellatrix. Cantor is a callous piece of garbage who demanded that any disaster relief for victims of tornados, flooding, and hurricanes be offset by spending cuts to programs that help the poor and elderly. His heartlessness at denying disaster relief even touched his constituents and it is curious why the vile little maggot did not face a recall election. Now he says Republicans are not going to vote on the president’s jobs bill because the GOP representatives have their own plan that features deregulation as its main job-creating policy.
During a meeting with reporters on Monday, when Cantor was asked if the President’s jobs bill was dead, he answered yes, and then he said, “It would be a lot more helpful for the president to focus on areas of commonality rather than targeting House Republicans through campaign-style tactics and perhaps he can start compromising with us.” What? Perhaps President Obama can start compromising with you? The president has compromised with Republicans at every turn and the lying dog Cantor knows it. For Republicans, compromise means President Obama must obey the worthless Republicans, and suggesting the president start compromising is the most ire-inspiring statement Cantor has made. He was either pandering to the Republican faithful who are too cognitively challenged to look back at the past two-and-a-half years to analyze for themselves whether or not President Obama compromised with Republicans in Congress, or he is so used to lying for the sake of lying that he thought it would be clever to assail the President for not compromising.
When the President first announced his plan to jumpstart the economy and create jobs, Cantor said “Anything that is akin to the stimulus bill is not going to be acceptable to the American people.” According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the first stimulus created 3.3 million jobs and business owners said it was the biggest boost to their businesses they have seen in many years. Cantor does not speak for the American people, and millions of unemployed Americans would most likely dispute Cantor’s assertion that Americans prefer to stay unemployed rather than accept a good-paying job building roads, bridges, schools, and hospitals the President’s jobs bill will produce. Cantor is just a vile little piece of work and there is other way to frame it. He touts Republican’s jobs plans that includes more tax breaks for the job-killing rich people as well as environmental deregulation to help the oil industry.
There are no Republicans worthy of representing the American people because they are vile human beings, but Cantor is the worst. He is a liar, a contemptible manipulator, and the king of all fellators in America. Sure, McConnell, Boehner, and the rest of the Libertarians posing as Republicans are worthless maggots, but Cantor is a perpetual piece of garbage. He could have spouted his deregulation and tax break memes all day long, and it would have been just Cantor being Cantor, but when the Gumby-looking, excrement-eating liar said President Obama should compromise with Republicans, he went too far and has inspired disgust, rage, and an honest appraisal that finds Eric Cantor is the worst congressional representative in America, and to top it off, he hates the American people.

If there is any justice, Cantor will join the ranks of the jobless. Sadly, that has no chance of happening.

Cantor could be jobless if the DEMS get out the Vote in 2012 and vote for his opponent HUNSICKER. All DEMS 2012. Obama 2012.

Had cantors’ ‘sugar momma wife’ not upped the banks donation to cantor from $1500 to $15,000 from which she serves on the Board, he would have lost to the green candidate in 2010..He won by the skin of his teeth even though his district is gerrymandered! This can be overcome!
His opponent is HUNSICKER in 2012…Get behind him and remove the weasel to the unemployment lines! Wolf, a repub from Virginia just spoke out on the floor against Norquist and his blackmail of the intellectually neutered bagger congress members! The tide is coming in!

So, is David Hunsicker a viable opponent for Cantor? I am asking this since I do NOT live in VA. Out of concern for our country, I have starter perusing the Richmond Times-Dispatch online and had seen very little to indicate any serious opposition to “Can’t or” among the population there. I am now feeling hopeful that “Can’t or” will find himself unemployed and also being charged with treason!

Since and before Cantor became the house majority leader, his continued refusal to cooperate to any extent has been detrimental to our country. The President has tried everythng humanly possible to get the Republicans to come together with him in order to move our country forward. Beohner, Cantor and McConnell refuse at every turn. It is no wonder that the Republican refusal tactics have hurt our recovery. I am just amazed that there are no more uprisings in America showing the absolute displeasure at this lack of governing by Republicans. It seems to me that Congressman who refuse to govern should not be paid.

Cantor is a lying, hateful weasel whose contempt for the president and everyday Americans oozes from every pore. Anyone who is not wealthy and supports him and his ilk either has not been paying attention to their shenanigans or is willing to cut off his/her nose to spite his/her face. He knows exactly what he is doing, which makes him doubly dangerous. His willingness to trample over everyday Americans in order to make Obama a one-term president should disqualify him from holding any elective office, and unfortunately, he is only one of the Republicans who fit that description.

What saddens me more than Cantnor’s cash-based immorality, is that Harry Reid had to block a Senate vote on the president’s jobs bill because there wasn’t enough DEMOCRATIC support…Fear of angering corporate donors is what’s motivating BOTH parties these days…The 99% are irrelevant in Washington DC.

What a mess! But there is a way out. If you are a disgusted Republican (or disgusted Democrat, independent, centrist, moderate or undecided), take the Americanselect.org quiz and see how your views compare with all the people who have already signed onto Americans Elect. You may find you’re in good company — lots of good company. Come Election Day 2012, Democrat and Republican voters may be shocked to learn that Americans Elect’s candidates for president and vice president won!

Damn, Rmuse, don’t use so many euphemisms. We can take it!
As to why Cantor has not been recalled, I suspect it’s the same reason we don’t have state-instituted term limits on our United States Senators and Representatives. That is, given the seniority system in Congress, if some states had it and not others, it would result in unequal representation, even if there were no federal pre-emption problem. By the same token, Representatives were given two-year term limits on the principle that manure makes better compost when turned over frequently, so I wish the good Mr. Hunsicker every success, and advise everyone in his jurisdiction to aid him.

memo to Mr. Cantor: deregulation does not create demand nor does it give the middle class any money to create demand. All it does is let the rich people off the hook and destroy people’s lives. You want to do away with regulations that protect the environment and the very water that you drink? You want to do a regulations that take away the safety factors within manufacturing plants. Sorry we are not going back to the mills of the early 1900s. I am sure that you will also include legislation that will preclude anyone from suing companies when they find Mercury and other elements in their water and food. I have a feeling that a great many people have no idea how this can impact their lives
Deregulation does not create jobs.
but in any case you’re making an awful mistake thinking that the people will put up with this. Your attack on America will not go unnoticed because that is exactly what it is. You refuse to protect American’s finances and American’s lives. You have to go

The Jobs Bill isn’t an assured thing even in the Democrat-controlled Senate, but Cantor blocking the vote in the House is good for Obama’s re-election.
The Jobs Bill would probably work just as well as the last “stimulus”, so the best image for Obama is for him to be “trying to do something” but stopped by the Republicans, so he can say he needs another term to “get the job done.”

Actually,that happens to be the truth-President Obama DOES need the full 8year term to get things back in order! He has done SO MUCH GOOD,that some folks just “dont get”! While I understand that people are frustrated,without Pres.Obama,we would have all been” down&out”LONG AGO.He has accomplished so much,and his Stimulus was what kept the country going until now,when it ran out in July.Every single state benefited from that stimulus,and kept many,many people employed because that gave them the money to pay for it.I personally know 3 people right in this little community,that had 2yr “grants”for jobs,because the stimulus was paying the employer-and that went on all over the country! 3.3MILLION JOBS WERE GAINED,but folks dont know it-more jobs than GWB gained in 8 years! Just like the people i know,folks on those grants,were laid off when the stimulus ran out,and just as with unemployment benefits,every one dollar the government spends to keep people getting a check every week,about $1.60 Is retuned back into the economy,by keeping folks buying,and others employed. Pres.Obama COULD get a LOT more done,in a second term,and THAT is the MAIN reason Repubs want him out-so they can continue to push all the”little people”further into poverty! If only people would understand that,right now,if aRepub is talking,they are LYING,an yes,I said from day one,that Eric Cantor and Mitch McConnell are the” worst of the worst”,and now they are joined by the rest of the Teapubs who are trying to ruin the USA. It WILL come back on them,because they have lit a fuse to a powder keg now-especially with that slime Cantor saying the Presidents Jobs bill is DOA! Un-huh,well we will see soon, I think,and I am guessing the ones behind all this will NOT like the results.SO-You vote Repub in,be prepared for the knife they will stick in your back AFTER you vote for them!
Mr. Peabody

Like you say, the first stimulus failed to stimulate the economy after the money ran out.(I don’t think our economy CAN be “jump-started”)If he passes this new stimulus, it will fail again and will be used against him in the presidential election.(GOP 2012 campaign ad:”Obama has run out of tricks,but the American people have one:we can make Obama disappear!”)

Oct. 5th, 2011 at 11:38 pm
@mr Peabody:Sorry,but I respectfully Disagree! Thats what I was just SAYING. The Stimulus Most Certinly DID work!It just was Half the size it SHOULD have been,and why is that??-Because the Repub/Teapubs would Not LET Pres O. make it large enough to actually FIX things-as they have said, their ONE goal has been to Make the President FAIL-a pretty Sad state of affairs,to be sure! And,I am sorry,but if you,or anyone else,who are NOT rich,think we would be” better off”without Obama, thru the next 4 years,whoever thinks that is SO sadly Mistaken! Pres.Obama WILL get things in order,but expecting him to get it all done by now,with all the obstruction he has had,and the mess he was handed,is plain nonsense.These Current Repubs are NOT”our dads Republican party”!They are mean,spiteful,hate anyone not rich,and intend to make this country completely run BY THE RICH ONLY. of course,all but the very richest among them will ALSO go down eventually,without a middle class to support things,but since they are ignorant,the rest of us better be smart to survive! We just lost a Great Human Being Today_Steve Jobs;a man with the vision to SEE and as he once said:”It is when people forget they are going to die,that they start thinking they have something to Lose” He Knew,as history will show,that President Obama is a great man,and has the right way for this Nation. I cannot convince anyone if they want to believe different,but if we get a Repub/Teapub president in there next year,what I CAN do,is guarentee that our lives,and probably at least down to our childrens and grandchildrens lives,anotherwords,for the forseeable future,the middle class will be “Done” in this country,and the poor and sick will be on the streets-there is NO ifs about That at all. I pray the people will rise up and,unlike the Teapartiers,will REALLY”Take our Country Back”-from these slimeballs set on ruining us all!
Mr. Peabody
Oct. 6th, 2011 at 3:27 pm
I say it failed because the first Stimulus didn’t “jump-start” the economy, so it, in political terms, counts as a “fail”. I was talking about political strategy, not Obama’s qualities.
I tell you, the Republicans are the ones who extol the American individual drive (while giving corporations of individuals a pass in taxes), and the Democrats want practically a benevolent Kingship to rule over a compliant populace.

Bernanke comments at financial hearing yesterday said it all. The people who occupy Wall Street are very much justified due to the greediness of a few who brought the USA to its knees in our 2nd greatest financial disaster after October 1929. Joblessness at 9.1% IS at crisis stage. This movement spreading and sending a message to all pols and especially the GOP that they had better get off their asses, stop taking time off, and start backing programs that create jobs.
