If there ever were a time that we needed effective Republican leadership, it would be in this Porkulus bill effort. Even the “pared down” seven hundred billion dollars ($700,000,000,000) is a ridiculous amount of money, and will pave the way for a try at a tax hike, so it’s been essential that we Republicans step back and force the Democrats alone to own that bill.
Represenative Eric Cantor therefore deserves our praise and congratulations on the results of the Porkulus bill in the House. Not once, but twice, did he as Whip help ensure that the bill passed the House without a single Republican vote. That’s unity, and that kind of unity doesn’t happen without at least some effort.
Eric Cantor had to step up. Congratulations on that effort. Of course, the whip can only do so much without the Leader there with him, so congratulations to John Boehner for drawing the line on the Porkulus. This is the kind of effective party we need to be if we want to win in 2010.

Exactly. I want to be able to applaud him for being a patriot next time around. He’s going to have plenty of opportunities, and I’ll be the first to present the laurel.

rubes from fantasyland wandering around and spending their money.
ANAHEIM?

What, is that ending up in one of the Sanchez sisters’ districts?
What horrible pork.

ddstrain (Diary) Saturday, February 14th at 7:43PM EST (link)Yes, the Democrats own this garbage. We need to make sure that they, and everyone else, remembers that they brought this bit of rampant (and highly speculative) government expansion and spending to the taxpayers.
Everyone needs to keep beating the drum. We need to beat this drum until it becomes the national mantra, much as the liberals did with “Bush lied, people died” and captured public opionion. They brought this trash to life…let’s acknowledge it.

I hope you’re not planning for a coup d’etat coz Cantor is one of our FEW BEST MEN and WOMEN.
The Dems must really be winning the battle

Heh, well corrected (nt)
