A question on Eric Cantor--why

[hyphenate]

should he be involved in the debt/budget talks since he has a vested interest in the outcome, outside of his being a member of congress? Why didn't he recuse himself, or why don't Dems insist that he be excluded?

I have a problem with him being rather intimately involved in the decisions before Congress knowing he doesn't really give a shit about the outcome. He wins either way.

3. I figure someone should

have asked that a long time ago, or at least provided an answer. I'm not here all the time, and thought I might have missed it.

7. That wouldn't be nice to do

We can't start acting mean to these people, we have to be Bipartisan with them. Besides, both sides do it. :sarcasm:

8. It's win/win for him actually. If we default, he personally profits.

If Boener makes a deal that the baggers don't like, he becomes Speaker (he believes). :puke:

10. The Majority Leader's job is only to round up the votes, not to negotiate

like the Speaker. He's out of bounds.

11. My Cantor question involves the people of his district.

Are they as dumb as or dumber than a box of rocks?

12. Republicultists no longer do ethics, morals, shame, and scruples.

Those things, like laws, are for little people like us.

13. Because he's the one most comfortable with flinging his own poo.
