Yepublican Eric Cantor ... is a bully



Watch Keith Olbermann tonight to see House Republicans using same talking points as they bully freshmen Democrats.


Cantor’s legislative strategy: Ambush freshmen Democrats.

Cantor’s floor staff has created a photo album to help identify the 42 most vulnerable Democrats. The aides send daily e-mails to the members of the attack team and alert lawmakers when these targeted members are speaking on the floor. They even draft quick scripts to help focus the questioning.

And of course, the House Republicans follow their leaders' marching orders ...

4. Something about him is off don't you think?
He has some skeletons in his closet. More than likely he will get caught doing whatever it is he is doing.....

8. You can say that again MadMaddie..
Cantor is completely and totally unvetted.

After college he interned for his congressman.

Then he went to law school.

Then he went to work for mommy and daddy at their real estate firm.

Then, his congressman decided to retire and Cantor ran for the seat. Complete with the endorsement of said congressman and his donor list.

This, all in a very rich semi-suburban Republican district.

And then suddenly, boom!, two years later he's already in the Republican leadership!

Jack Abramhoff named a sandwich after him at his D.C. restaurant, to boot!

So, if Cantor wants a future somewhere higher in the food chain in Washington, one of these days the press and the oppo research teams are going to come aknockin' at his door.

The man has never been vetted. He glided into his House seat and then into leadership. But noone has ever taken a hard and close look at this weasel.

And I think your instincts are right. What Congressman, who is seeing his star rise, is going to go to a Britney Spears concert with a bunch of old, white lobbyists. Ewwww!

6. Rec'd! This shit belongs on the greatest page..
how else are we going to help get the word out?

Thanks, BLUSH..I waited to click on this 'cause I didn't know what it would be about but this is important. limpbaugh, ect, et al are on a crusade to undermine our country. They contributed to the downfall of America the last 8 years and couldn't stop Obama before the election so they're on an all out Propaganda Blast now to bring our country down even further.

10. Rush Limbaugh also a yepublican bully
LIMBAUGH: Charles, Barack Obama is president of the United States today because of stupid, ignorant people who think like you do. You pose -- you and your ignorance are the most expensive commodity this country has. You think you know everything. You don't know diddly-squat.

You call me a Nazi? You call me somebody who supports torture and you want credibility on this program? You know, you're just plain embarrassing and ludicrous. But it doesn't surprise me that you're the kind of Republican that our last candidate attracted. Because you're no Republican at all based on what the hell you've said here.

http://mediamatters.org/countyfair/200904070031?show=1


above, Limbaugh is lecturing a Republican caller who dared to stray from the party line, who actually challenged Limbaugh.

9. It's situations like this that Dems need to take a page from the Repub playbook and fight fire with
fire!! :grr:

I disagree with the poster upthread who said that the Congresswoman needs to get on the ball.

The Democratic leadership (hello Nancy!) needs to send out veteran Congresscritters to do THE EXACT SAME THING to the freshman Republican House members.

Make them sweat. Make them wish they hadn't started this. Make them look like the fools they are.

And, from what I've read, the Repubs trying to harrass the Dems are reading a script or something and are coming off looking like fools as well. Well, Nancy, it's time to upload their ridiculous behavior onto the net as well. Make these obstructionist school-yard bullies pay for their silly, childish games.

Enough!
