With taking control of the House as a possibility – one none of us felt was possible a year and a half ago – I expect our candidates this year to stay focused on the economy and ignore the various other issues that have made this August the silliest silly season EVAH! It’s nice to see Eric Cantor agree.
One of the concerns with the Republicans taking over the house again so quickly is whether or not we’ve learned out lessons from the last time we pissed away leadership. I have my doubts when some on our side seem more focused on constitutional amendments you know they’re never going do anything aboot, or a Mosque that outside of New York should be an issue, than they are on the economy.
I think all Republicans running for the House or Senate this year needs to focus on five issues and five issues only: jobs, jobs, jobs, debt, and jobs. That’s why I found it promising for the would be House Majority Leader to say…
Last week, 
I was reading in The Hill recently that, the popular rumor around Capitol Hill, is that Dear Leader is planning on ramming his ObamaCare bill through the Senate with what is called “Reconciliation,” where you only need 51 votes to pass something rather than 60. If this sounds familiar, it’s what the New York Time and NBC News blasted Republicans for considering using it to appoint judges. Yet, they’ve been silent now that the Democrats are considering it. Go figure.
It seems like a decade ago when were fighting over the stimulus bill aka Porkulus aka the Generational Theft Act aka fiscal suicide aka the Recovery Act aka that giant crap sandwich. And here we are ten years later, with Barack Obama planning to speak to us (again) on what he calls health care reform (again) and spend more of our money.
Eric Cantor has been quiet lately. We started off the year with him being elected to Minority Whip, and had his big “coming out” when he whipped his colleagues in the house to unanimously stand against the crap sandwich the Obama Campaign wanted to call “stimulus.” He was also the main cat in getting the House GOP up to snuff on the Internets and various other social networking tools.
