Cantor’$ true $trength

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

This item was in politico:

On Tuesday, Cantor hosted a $1.1 million fundraiser at the Capitol Hill Club benefiting his 50 or so Republican lawmakers who make up the House GOP whip team ? a major haul that left members wide-eyed. That?s about $20,000 in lobbyist and political action committee dough for each of Cantor?s deputies.

It seems Cantor is at the pinnacle of all the interests trying to bust up attempts at health care reform.
Also, this was buried in another article on politico. Cantor is a top recipient of money from the health care industry:

House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) got even more from insurers: $560,000 over a two-cycle span, $116,000 in the first two quarters of 2009, according to opensecrets.org.

Cantor doesn’t criticize birthers, he blames MSNBC!

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

This was from the plum line

“Mr. Cantor doesn?t question the President?s citizenship, but he has serious questions about the President?s push for government controlled healthcare, taxes on small business job creators, and a huge energy tax on middle class families. He finds it ironic that those most eager to talk about the President?s citizenship are in fact some of his biggest cheerleaders?whether it?s Chris Matthews or others on MSNBC, the Huffington Post, or camera toting liberal bloggers chasing people through the streets of Washington.”

It is interesting that Cantor doesn’t dare question the birthers but tries to blame the “liberal media.”
