WTF ever happened to Eric Cantor the "new face" of the republicon party?

[tularetom]

For awhile this guy's face was everywhere on your TV, opining on everything. He was quoted on every possible topic. He was hailed as the new face of the party.

Then he called that goofy conference at some pizza joint with I think baby huey bush and the newt and said the gop was going to go on a "listening tour".

The next day pig boy rush called bullshit on that concept and stated the GOP needed to go on a teaching tour not listening. Then Cantor came on and said, of course he meant teaching.

Since then I haven't seen the goofy bastard anywhere. Is he no longer the face of the party? Where has he gone? Did limpballs have him whacked?

1. Maybe they figured out (like Jindal) that he sucks?

:shrug:

2. I was wondering that also...

For a while we only saw the "new faces" of the Republican Party -- now it's back to Newtie, Cheeney, etc. Maybe Cantor got a girlfriend. Oh wait, this is the Republican party we're talking about. That's okay for the "part of values" ala Newt, Rush, Vitter, et. al.

3. I think they're replacing all their "new faces" with Liz "Darth" Cheney.

She was on Faux this morning giving her opinion on political matters other than her criminal father.

4. think of it like republican survivor.... the people who tend to win in the end

are the ones that keep their heads low and play behind the scenes until the end. maybe he's waiting for others to take each other out and be one of the last ones standing?? wouldn't it be funny.... put them all on an island like survivor where they have to do all these things and vote people off. see how ugly it could get. man, i would love to see all those manicured folks out in the wilderness trying to outwit outplay outlast.... while eating bugs and trying to start fires with sticks. hee hee.

5. Turned out he was the Ass of the party, not the face

6. It Shoud Only Happen

From your mouth to God's ear! He's my rep and sooo embarrassing.

[Nay]

10. Jeez, he's mine too, and what a jerk. I have no idea why people keep

voting for this schmuck. VA isn't "blue" until we get rid of this guy.

13. Unfortunately

I believe in our district, a piece of dog shit with an R after it would get elected. It really is so embarrassing. At least beofe he became the whip, you rarely saw him on tv, but now.....

7. Don't remember the details

but I believe he got called out for critizing the Dem push for health reform, but wasn't able to offer one single idea that he has.

Regardless, the GOP old guard is reaping the fruits of promoting the best young parrots in the party. They were good at learning the conservative talking points, but now that the conversation is changing their learned responses don't match. It makes the GOP look even more out of touch.

12. I think it was this appearance on Mourning Shmoe.

Mike Barnicle made Cantor look foolish.

Or Cantor is foolish, and Barnicle just let him be himself. You pick.

8. Now that I think of it ... whatever happened to Joe the Dumber?

I guess he finally got the message his fifteen minutes have expired.

9. Last I heard he became a Ron Paul idio..I mean follower.

11. Rush seems to cause shrinkage.

As soon as he calls one of them out, they genuflect, kiss the ring and disappear.
