BLITZER: In this most recent CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll, by an almost 2-1 margin, 62 percent to 36 percent, they believe that the president is doing more than the GOP to try to reach some sort of cooperation with the other party.

Why does the American public think that the White House and the Democrats are more assertive in wanting to cooperate with you than the Republicans are?

CANTOR: Well, Wolf, I may lay some of the blame back on that -- on your colleagues in mainstream media. It's just not as appetizing, I guess, to cover the plans that we have and the attempts that we've made and we'll continue to make to reach out not only to the president and the White House, but to Speaker Pelosi, who, frankly, has been unwilling to bring a consensus-building group together to try and see a way to bring the agenda back from the extreme to the mainstream. But we're going to continue trying.

3. Clinically, that's called projection, denial and acting out. Happy karma, Eric.
Enjoy these days of possibly your last human incarnation, at this rate.

4. Like the budget with no numbers?
Maybe they liked *'s budget better -- the one that left off the cost of the Iraq & Afghanistan wars.

10. He also loses his southern accent often
when he is on TV here (I live in his district) and on some Fox shows he sounds like he grew up with a weed in his mouth

his real story if vastly different

9. GOP House Whip's Wife 'Didn't Know' Her Banking Firm Benefited from Bailout
http://crooksandliars.com/susie-madrak/gop-house-whips-wife-didnt-know-her-b

WASHINGTON — A bank that employs the wife of Rep. Eric I. Cantor, R-Va., benefited from the $700 billion Wall Street bailout that Cantor helped steer through Congress last fall.

Diana F. Cantor runs a Virginia-based subsidiary of New York Private Bank and Trust. The New York bank received $267.2 million from the U.S. Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program Jan. 9.

A spokesman for New York Private Bank and Trust told ProPublica, an investigative journalism Web site that first reported the relationship, Diana Cantor was “never aware that the parent bank was seeking or received funding.” A spokesman for the New York bank declined to comment for this report.

Diana Cantor, the managing director of the subsidiary, Virginia Private Bank and Trust, did not return a phone call seeking comment Monday. She also serves on Media General’s board of directors.

12. Obviously he's anti education
Educated people wouldn't be represented by the idiot Cantor.
No one cares what Republicans have to say, unless it's under oath.
No one believes what they have to say either, even under oath.

17. That was the biggest bunch of BS I've heard from the GOP in...
....oh....the last 3 minutes?

"Blah Blah Blah...we're trying.....blah blah...it's your fault.....blah blah-blah blah.... we had an interesting discussion.... blah blah....it's Nancy Pelosi's fault.....Blah Blah....in the future we will try.... blah blah....we have some ideas...blah"

Why does he look & sound like an encyclopedia salesman.....

Notice how the GOP was "trying", and "Thinking about" and other vague misty statements predicting some undetermined future, but the only concrete statements were "It's your fault Wolfie" and "Nancy Pelosi is holding the GOP back!" (thank god for that!)

Yes folks, the GOP biggest problem is Nancy Pelosi won't form a commitee.... oh and the media. Riiiiight.
