Cantor’s legislative strategy: Ambush freshmen Democrats.

Cantor’s legislative strategy: Ambush freshmen Democrats.
Newt Gingrich’s protege, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA), has a new strategy to obstruct actual governing and legislating: ambushing unsuspecting Democratic freshmen on the House floor. Politico reports on his new O’Reilly-worthy tactics:

Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) is part of a team of Republican members that House
Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) has put together to create embarrassing, YouTube-worthy moments for vulnerable Democratic freshmen.

Cantor’s floor staff has created a photo album to help identify the 42 most vulnerable Democrats. The aides send daily e-mails to the members of the attack team and alert lawmakers when these targeted members are speaking on the floor. They even draft quick scripts to help focus the questioning.

(end snips)

This is what they do instead of helping to solve problems.
