eric cantor is doing exactly what the republicans want him to do

[spanone]

they support him or else he would be gone

[Angry Dragon]

1. He is a traitor

[Proud Liberal Dem]

2. Maybe he and Boehner are playing "good cop, bad cop"

to keep the teabaggers at bay throughout this whole endeavor? :shrugh: Or it may just be what it seems: Boehner's weak and Cantor is like a shark that smells blood in the water. Nobody will probably know until this whole farce is over.

[Zen Democrat]

4. You mean Mr. Hell No is a good cop?

[Proud Liberal Dem]

5. Not "good cop" for our side (by any means)

just that he seems to be the de facto representative of the few remaining "sane" Republicans in the House that recognize the need to raise the debt ceiling while Cantor seems to have become the representative of the hard core Tea Party fascists in the House.

3. He will be well cared for...at least that's what they tell him.

"You be the front man, Eric...we've got your back, really. You go out and play the stooge and we'll cover for you."

Until the polls go sour, which they're already doing. Then Cantor is on his own. Just him and his hair. What the fuck is it about Republicans and their hair, anyway?

6. He will be gone. This was a colossal fuck-up on his part.
