The Democrats are bullying the whole nation. Come on. Think about it! Nancy Pelosi, in her arrogance, thinks everyone is falling at her feet. Au contraire...she lives in a bubble. Rush Limbaugh is saying what needs to be said.

At this point in my life I think I would trust what Rush says over any politician.
So that being said, Eric Cantor should just pack his bags and get the hell out of town. Does this clown not know that this country is close to a revolt, and should be doing what we pay him to do, or is he another Sphinter looking for a party to join? Cantor the Colon has the runs and cantor can't
do what is right, go and flush yourself.

He'll be asking forgiveness for his trespasses from limbaugh.I think it's ironic that limbaugh says obama has a huge ego,because the more weight he loses you can see all the weights going to his head.

Cantor is talking out of his butt. The G.O.P. is the party of the elite. We consist of businessmen, C.E.O.'s, Wallstreet executives, Senior citizens who yearn for the days of segregation, and primarily Whites. We demand only the cream of American society unless you can be propped up for propaganda purposes like Michael Steele. Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck are our voices, and we joyfully repeat their mantras. Most of us care very little for colored people and the poor unless you provide cheap labor or are serving in the military. Obama is to blame for everything- The Iraq war, 9-11, our current economic crisis, and the greatest violation of our civil rights- The Patriot Act. We hate socialism but we love social security. We hate to kill fetuses but we love to kill muslims.

Mr. Cantor, if you want a "liberal" flavored theme, then you'd best do the same thing Spector did: join the libs. Need I remind you, sir, that there MUST be an absolute distinction between the 2 parties?

Eliseo, nice satire,(I hope), if not please join the Democrat party, they need free thinkers such as yourself. Mr. Cantor, the Dems, neither want or desire inclusion or discussion from the Republican party. They prefer their newspeak description of themselves as- "Progressives", and not Liberals. By talking with us, would make them look as though they were talking with the animals; instead of having a thoughtful political discourse. Let Pelosi, Obama, et al.... have their moment in the political spotlight, where hopefully, in the full light, people will actually see them for the ego maniacal thugs they are.

Cantor just signed his own resignation. When I read the article, I thought I would find the usual suspects calling for his head, and I was right.

The effort by these far right Republicans to purify their party to eliminate any moderate strain might be successful. And then they will truly be a marginalized party.

I know many of them will be surprised, but although I am center left, I think a healthy conservative party is important to the country. And I fear they are taking themselves out of the game with their own arrogance. The independents who help vote Republican governors into office this week won't stand for the far right, even if they are not sure of the left.

I'm tired of both the Dem's & the GOP. Right now while our largest military base was attacked, they are pissing in the wind in DC playing Elephants vs. Donkey's...at this rate the terrorist will take over the US because of a stupid penis measuring contest between two stupid parties. That's why I'm an independent. Little boys when the election is over please try to be patriotic and just help the damn country united for a change....PLEASE!!!

Cantor is a great example of a good man that's been in DC too long. People keep saying these idiotic things about being inclusive long enough and you start believeing them yourself.

Conservatives are quickly turning the Republicans into an inclusive party instead of a shrinking party by actually standing for some principles. Republicans will gladly accept people that adhere to the principles of small government, lower taxes and individual liberty. Believe me that will attract not only the base but a vast majority of the people calling themselves liberals.

What we don't need is more RINOs willing to bend their principles for political gain. We don't need democrats that blame their failures on their skin color, or what gender people they like to sleep with.

Goodness, all I want is the right, and the freedom to go into a bar, sit down, have a ice cold beer and a cigarette. When that was banned, we lost our Freedom.
Its silly when the entire bar and bartender smoke, and everyone has to go outside to smoke.

Mr. Cantor,Rush is always right,the republicrat party is kaput,time for the old elephant to head for the elephants grave yard and lay down and die.
I became a republicrat when Jimmy Carter entered the picture,and after Bush 1 said,"read my lips",and he raised taxes,I became a constitutional conservative.
The republicrat party is no different than the dum libturds,that was proven by the rep candidate in New York 23 race,when she dropped out of the race,then supported the dumlibturd.

I am to the right of center and I have no use for people like Rush Limbaugh,who gets a rush from doing little boys, Glenn Beck,who is mentally ill, Bill O'Reilly,Sean Hammity,who are both blithering idiots,and Ann Coulter, who is a c***with a capitol C. These peices of crap and the people who follow them are going to be the ruin of the Republican Party.

I'm no Limbaugh fan, but can you imagine this creep saying anything someone said, as " being inappropriate ? " The first thing this guy said that was inappropiate was when he took his " Oath of Office "

Fellow Yahoos,

The Republican wing is plucking its own feathers. How can they expect to fly, in future elections? Mr. Limbaugh will be cackling, and Rep. Cantor will probably yield to the far right.

Inclusion is part of being an American. What the ultra-right is doing is exclusionary, in a veiled attempt to attain oligarchy. Simply, the haves vs. the have not. The haves are about power, control, and dominion. The word conservative is synonymous with Nazism, communism, totalitarianism, fascism, etc.

It is about special interest money, not the people. Most prostitutes (Congressmen) in the brothel of fools (Congress) are owned, and do not represent the interests of the constituency.

It be it,
Ronin Kannushi.

The Supreme Court needs to stay out of the states business. No matter which state, the Supreme Court should let them make their own laws and sentence people by those laws without interference from the federal government. Interference with the states laws was not the reason for the inception of the Supreme Court. They have no right getting involved in state business. As for giving a teen life, it is probably because they deserve death for what they did and the state is letting them off easy by giving them life.

There will be business as usual in the Republican Party and on this site. No one is standing against these followers of Talk Hate, Rush Limbaugh, or him. That was a small step, in stating his comments are out of bounds, about Hitler. Limbaugh has very little depth or insight on subjects. Those that follow him are even less thoughtful.

Mr. Cantor is correct. His Party is falling apart at the seams BECAUSE of the Multiple Attacks from within the Party DUE TO THEIR RELIGIOUS EXTREMISM!!!

Religious EXTREMISM is WRONG in any form!

The problem is NOT the attacks on their Religious Beliefs--- the problem is their Religious Extreme Beliefs that cause INTOLERANCE for others WITHIN their Party, as well as those of us who CANNOT allow ourselves to be a part of THEIR Extreme INTOLERANCE of those Extreme Religious Beliefs!!!

The Republican party is going to rip itself apart. All of this talk about the party imploding is starting to be seen. I think it should split into two parties, one the moderate republican (normal fiscal conservatives like Reagan and McCain) and the crazy hate mongers (that never seem to do what Jesus would do). I'm not voting for either but I will enjoy watching it go down. Then the Democratic party gets even stronger and we can't lose. 8 million more people voted for Obama than McCain in 2009. If the republican party can't unite than Obama will win in an even bigger landslide 2012. I can't wait! Go Obama!

he conservative "movement" has certainly worked itself into lather since Obama took office; if possible, they've taken right-wing vitriol and hysteria to a whole new level.

Conservatives have lost any grasp they may have had on intellectualism. Today's conservative "intellects" consist of people like Malkin, Jonah Goldberg, Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, etc. People with semi-functioning brains understand that these individuals aren't intellectuals but rather provocateurs that pollute the public debate with half-truths, outright lies, and veiled calls to violence.

Too little too late, Eric. You had a chance to be a man and chose to lick Rush's nuts instead. Stop complaining about the sour taste in your mouth.

“Do I condone the mention of Hitler in any discussion about politics?” Cantor said. “No, I don’t, because obviously that is something that conjures up images that frankly are not, I think, very helpful.”

Ok, Eric Cantor, we're listening. If you continue that mindset and approach the issues without sinking below-the-belt like Limbaugh, Beck, and Palin often do, than I think the Republicans will see far more cooperation with the Democrats.

Non-partisan efforts must become the norm. That would best serve this nation. Funny how the GOP-defectors plans to bring change differ little from the existing parties. They want to dominate the legislative and executive branches. However, that is typical partisan BS and just as bad for the US. We need a stronger focus on non-partisanship in congress. That needs to be a priority. Now may be an excellent time to begin that process.

Like the Dems are really inclusive - hahahahaha.

Cantor demonstrates the Repub party problem - too wishy-washy. Opposition to Limbaugh is because he points it out...many of these supposed Repubs need a spine.

Both parties fail at producing anything resembling a leader or statesmen. For all you deluded libs/dems that think just becuz you say repubs are racist, reside in trailers, etc. are somehow inclusive, sober up and then spew your vitriol. Rush Limbaugh does not seek your level of low.

THE UNITED STATES IS THE WORST COUNTRY IN THE INDUSTRIALIZED WORLD!!

US ranks last among other industrialized nations on preventable deaths.

101,000 fewer Americans would die annually if they had access to healthcare that other countries provide their citizens.

The United States places last among 19 countries when it comes to deaths that could have been prevented by access to timely and effective health care.

FCK THE USA!! I DENOUNCE MY CITIZENSHIP!! GO FIGHT YOUR OWN WAR BITCHES!!
