Air America - "Eric Cantor's Horrible GOP Ideas For Job Creation"
Remember John McCain's secret plan to catch Bin Ladin? Well, in 2010, we will have the GOP's secret plan to create jobs.

http://airamerica.com/really/12-09-2009/crappy-gop-job-ideas/



On Monday, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) was asked by the Economist’s Daniel Franklin what the GOP would do to create jobs. The exchange went like this:

FRANKLIN: What is the big idea? “Jobs” is not an idea.

CANTOR: The big idea is to get... to get... to produce an environment where we can have job creation again. And see, that’s where the Obama administration’s agenda so clearly disadvantages the Democrats in this upcoming election in eleven months and advantages us.

It was the response of someone who just got caught doing something bad. Not that I'm accusing Cantor of anything here, but seriously why does he sound like he just got pulled over leaving O'Malley's Pub with his headlights off?

"I'm not doing anything wrong, officer."

So what does he have to hide? We all know that under Bush and the Republicans everything was great until Obama took office and the economy went off a cliff.

Why wouldn't we want to put everything "back into conservative Republican hands" as Sen. Orrin Hatch said to right the ship?
