Among the many other schmucks listed already.

Wouldn't that be EXQUISITE??? If that smug turd eric cantor gets turned out of office? Unfortunately, if so, he won't be gone long. He'll cool his heels as a special commentator on Pox Noise until he thinks he has enough luster and backing to weasel his way back in. He loves power just WAY too much to be gone from there for long. But I'd certainly enjoy seeing this happen. Payback for Tom Daschle. At least the start of it.

Even Republicans keeping the house would be tolerable If Cantor loses.

My dream would be for Cantor,Allen West,Bachman,and Ryan all lose.Even If Republicans keep the house seeing the tea party stars
gone owuld be great signal.

And If Cantor loses you have to consider It is possable for a democratic takeover of the house.

I sure hope that caller is right.

My district voted in Joe Walsh last go round so I am familiar with being represented by a complete tool. Walsh is truly a bad guy.

That being said, Cantor is the Republican I see as the most destructive. He is in a position to dictate what get's done and he is truly for the rich and corporations alone.

If we could get rid of only one, I would pick him, hands down...the others are just nutty.
