UPDATED: DNC targets Cantors district over shutdown
...The campaign, launching today, includes robocalls in his district and an online campaign using Twitter and Google ads to target voters in Virginia...
The call in Virginia starts: Im calling from the DNC with a GOP shutdown alert.... Congressman Eric Cantor was an architect of the GOPs government shutdown and it hurts folks in the Richmond area.
The call says Tens of thousands of Virginians working for the federal government have been furloughed and they wont get paid until after Cantor reopens the government.
The call talks about the impact of the shutdown on Virginia and offers an option to connect the voter with Cantors office and demand that he stop holding the economy hostage...

In addition to Cantor, the DNC is also targeting Speaker of the House John Boehner, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and U.S. Sens. Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.

From the OP by The Blue Flower:

It explains why Boehner has said, as quoted in brooklynite's OP:
Boehner: Democrats Want to Annihilate Us
http://sync.democraticunderground.com/1014614735
Since they have done so much harm, they need to be removed from office in 2014.
It's why Boehner has called this an 'Epic Battle.' It is, but they brought this on themselves. We have tried to work with them in a Constitutional and fair manner.
I'm looking forward to seeing Madame Speaker, Nancy Pelosi sworn in.

Apparently "negotiation" didn't poll test well, so they went to "conversation" as the meme.

More political theatre. Most likely, this is a set-up for a TRULY HORRIBLE "Grand Compromise."
