CNN

REALITY: President Obama inherited a country that was days away from a complete breakdown.

Eight years of Republican leadership (sic) turned the USA from a nation that ruled the world into an international basket case. I am sure that Obama is not too fond of some of the measures he has had to take but for God's sake, he is averting a disaster here; he needs to take drastic action.

For anyone in America to believe the Republicans' claims that a continuation of their disastrous policies would get us out of this mess defies logic.

The thing that still continues to amaze me is that the people most likely to be helped by Obama are the same struggling masses that listen to FOX news, Limbaugh, Beck (and soon Lou Dobbs) and believe that Obama is the enemy.

The Republican party continue to use the US Flag and religion to perpetrate the biggest con the world has ever seen! Joseph Goebbels had nothing on you lot!!!

Of course he is! You can tell that Boehner doesn't like being upstaged either. To me Cantor is another one of those my way or the highway type conservatives. He talks a good game but the reality is different.

If the GOP really want a resurgence to actually happen, they had better come up with someone better than this effeminate, little Avon lady, or they're going nowhere in a big hurry!

Nothing wrong with dreaming..and that is exactly what Cantor is doing.

Remember when Bobby Jindal was the Repubicans 'Golden Boy'? What ever happened to him? Cantor is just the flavor of the month.

Resurgence and Renaissance...my my my...aren't the Republicans using big words for something that hasn't happened yet.... Do they know the meaning of "renaissance"? Rebirth? Sounds like the same old tired rhetoric to me. Nothing new.

what have republicans done besides oppose everything the democrats have tried to do to clean up the mess from the last 8 years?
Contrary to what some appear to think the financial disaster and the 2 wars we are fighting did not start the day Obama was elected.

There is a big mess that needs to be cleaned up and all the republicans can do is rant about how nothing is being accomplished. Well, guess what- the republicans just oppose everything the democrats do – without offering anything better. – remember when they opposed the budget – and their offering ran a total of 19 pages and did not have a single number in it?

If they want to contribute to anything in this country they cannot just walk out of committee meetings and declare that if the democrats accomplish something without them it's the nuclear option.

Ha!!!!!! "resurgence"???????? The GOP is so completely split now, it will never be as it once was! Between the nutcrackers - Sara Palin and Michelle Bachman, along with Michael Steele, Rush Limbaugh, and Fox News contributors, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Riley, and all the rest, it is IMPOSSIBLE FOR RESURGENCE!!! More than likely, it is going to be ONE BIG FIGHT to see which side wins? The nuts - or the nutcrackers!!!!!

Canton reminds me of John Boehner, dumb as a box of rocks!!! All he does is spout Repug talking points.

We should all listen to New Father very carefully. He is actually touting the George Bush presidency. How sad... By the time Georgie boy left he had doubled our debt, was the first president to LOSE jobs during his presidency and nearly created another depression. But somehow, after 1 year in office, it's Obama's fault.

Whatever you're smoking, buddy, stop immediately. It's making you sound crazy.

I can't stand that man. He an Boehner get under my skin. I'm a "Moderate Republican" and he's way to the "right" for me.

A couple of my friends consider themselves Republicans, but this time around they're going to vote Democrat out of spite.Don't under estimate the "Moderate Republicans".

That worm is not going anywhere he better keep his day job whatever that is... oh yea saying NO to everything that helps Americans live a better life

More proof Republicans are just an insurgency similar to the Taliban that needs to be eradicated.

Yea! Lying weasel for Presi-dent, what could go wrong?! Sorry Mr. Cantor but you're an open book, even the faithful must look at you funny.

Wake up republicans. You need to get back on track with what America wants not the ultra rich. You need someone strong to oust this idiot and his cronies out of office in 2012. Atleast we can get rid of some of them in 2010. Middle class conservatives are who you should be kissing up to to get the votes to you need to turn our Country around and get this socialist marxist group the heck out of DC

Cantor is the female Palin in the GOP. Not worth the writeup.

Laugh you liberal pigs, the liberal zeros just got their wake up call in the recent elections! 2010 is coming and you are going to get a great big dose of American Independence, we are NOT a people that needs Government handouts and more bureaucracy. We are awake now and we want our Nation back...

WHAT?!?! Democratic- leaning Virginia??? Now CNN is going FOX on us by trying to add some significance to an insignificant GOP victory in a STATE, election in a RED, STATE!......... WOW!.......Kinda reaching a little bit, ain't cha, CNN?????Oh and buy the way, the GOP didn't win the election half as much as the Democrats lost it by not even showing an interest in their candidate! They pretty much knew they couldn't win in Virginia because everyone knows, except CNN obviously that Virginia is a RED STATE!!!!!!! Nice try CNN! But, you seriously need to get real!!!!!!

Ignorance seems rampant in the Republican club. First, their leaders George Bush jr., Mr. Cheney, The Bald guy, Mr. Limbaugh, Mrs. Sarah Palin. Looks more like the cast of Saturday a Night Live episode.

The left is so clueless. They seem totaly ingnorant of the fact that Obama and the Democrats are taking the nation in a direction voters do not want to go. Trillion dollar deficits which are 3 times the size of those under Bush, 10.2% unemployment and going up despite trillions of dollars spent on stimulus and bailouts, a trillion dollar plus government take over of health care in the works, cap and trade which will increase everyones energy costs and choke the economy, more government and more spending everywhere you look is not what voters voted for in 2008. Voters voted for change in 2008, but change we can afford. Voters expect government to live within it's means, just like we all have to. We simply can't afford Obama's socialist change and we don't want it.

And I repeat the same line I used for Palin.

Cue the twilight zone music........

I have to add an additonal comment:

How does the story go about a snowball having a chance in you know where?

this guy is a total idiot just like any other idiots like Tim Palentine....ok...Republicans messed this nation like crazy....lord bless this nation....do not even vote any republican idiot....enough is enough....ok....

Sorry Eric, the Congress is not local politics. With all of the racial remarks, the NO votes, the acceptance of Joe Wilson's "You Lie" shout and the constant dive into the psychotic world of Congresswoman, Bachman, you have really lost all credibility. I once believed that you had promise, although I am a Democrat, but not now.

This guy claims to be a family values guy. This guy attended a Britney Spears concert this year in which he said she was "awesome". Hey Cantor. "If you seek Amy" and family values? You're nuts, dude. This republican thinks you're a joke that isn't very funny.

Ridiculous. This man is the same guy who claims to be a family values guy, good father, yada yada, all after attending a Britney Spears concert, listening to 'If you seek Amy' which we all know what that means. I think he actually couldn't contain himself when he spoke about his Britney Spears experience. That alone makes me think he is a suit, an empty suit. Hey, Cantor. Britney Spears....family values. Oil and water, dude. Get over yourself, this republican has.

As a republican, I have to say, Cay the epitome of professional politician. The guy who is a father and obviously in his 40's went to a Britney Spears concert and said he loved it. Yeah, Mr. family values got off on listening to "If you seek Amy" Which everyone knows what that really means. I can see Cantor rocking out to Britney Spears, and I can imagine what he is really thinking.....(mmm mmm, i like that trashy young stuff) Man, this guy is a fruitcake. I wish he was a democrap.

I will not allow Code Pink, ACORN/SIEU, George Soros to hijack my party. I now consider myself an Independent. We are leaning to the Republicans because of their platform of limited government, low-taxes, pro-small business, pro-military, "real" healthcare reform, and equal opportunity (not affirmative action). You demonize women like Palin and Bachman, and did the same to Hillary Clinton. You call hard working Americans a gay slang term (teabaggers), and demonize them too. I am embarrassed what the Democratic Party turned themselves into. If the Democrats were so smart, why is there a wide division going on? And you think your smart enough to tell the Republicans what they need to do? That's the biggest joke of it all. At least they have a Jewish Minority Whip, a black National Republican leader; but I'm sure you will call them tokens and Uncle Tom's. Let Jesse Jackson and Sharpton define your party now. The party of FDR, Kennedy, and Truman is ancient history.

The liberal big goverment agenda along with the reckess and out of control spending by Obama and the Democrats has created an opportunity for Republicans. The recent 2009 elections show that voters including independents are not happy with Democrats and are willing to vote for Republicans. What the Republicans do with this opportunity is up to them. One thing is for sure, going big government liberal lite won't close the deal for them. Going small government, low tax, pro jobs/business, deficit reduction and fisical responsibliity will.

We don't need another Right Wing Radical who hates the commone people of this country trying to ru(I)n it. We had enough of that with Reagan and George I & George II.

This is the same person who told a woman at HIS town hall if she wants health insurance to sell all her belongings or go to Charity......!

This is the same person that openly supports Rush Limbaugh....

This is the same person that stood on the steps of the capital and proclaimed not ONE Repulsive Republican would vote for Healthcare Reform....

How can his wife stand living with this guy, he's so ROBOTIC in his approach, Rush Limbaugh is giving this guy his directives, and the sick part about it, Cantor doesn't hide that he submits to Rush Limbaughs ORDERS.....Pathetic

There has to be a republican in that God forsaken party that cares about something other than his or her own well being. Sadly, he or she has not been located.

Cantor, Boehner all just seem to grandstand and do nothing else.

It is disgusting that the hate filled birthers and wingnuts post most of the nasty anti government comments and lies. You make Fox proud.

I just closed my eyes and imagine Canter/Palin 2012 .....bwaaahhhhhh ........no better Canter/Backmann now that's scary and funny at the sametime.

I could never ever vote for Mr Cantor. He is way to far right for this independant. I don't see any Republican that thinks they have a chance getting my vote. I was not going to vote for a president last year until McCain picked the rightwing nutjob Palin as a running mate. The Republicans will probably do the same thing in 2012. They are not very smart. They only appeal to the corporations, poorly educated, and the very christian.

Until all the Bush following so called Repulicans get out of office, this country will never be safe; not from foreign foes, but from them. I believe if our country re- elects these people, we will see harder times. I say that we vote for true Republicans and not false ones. It is easy to know who the fake ones are from the true Republicans, if they support Bush andCheney; their false, if they don't support Bush and Cheney; their true Republicans!!!

The "Republican renaissance" is nothing short of hilarious. They didn't lose elections to democrats, they lost elections to terrible democrats... nobody from the DNC was ever that enthusiastic about the clowns that ran so it's sort of like watching a school yard bully beat up the kid in the wheel chair. We felt bad, but saw it coming a mile away.

A great conservative... He'll do well, especially after people see the miserable failures the Democrats have inflicted on this country. Liberals will be a dying breed and it can't happen fast enough!

The same party that brought us 2 wars a Financial disaster let the worst terriost attack happen are now critizing the Democrats and they want to return to power? havent they done enough DAMAGE?

Amazing how many pathetic liberals vent all their anger out on these comments

Big corporations and the wealthy are really throwing a lot of bull at the side of the barn, hoping something will stick.

They need to catch a clue: The GOP's policies are proven failures and the only answer they have to our nation's challenges is more of the same.

No amount of pretty faces will ever change that fact.

Republican resurgence? I think you mean Russian Revolution.

Reading all of these articles about Rpublican members of Congress is so Interesting. They all seem to have higher ambitions while they continue to turn their backs on what is needed to make our country move ahead now. We are all supposed to wait for three years so that they can run on their own platforms.

Of course, we all know what that means. more stonewalling and more stalemates. We need to support those members of Congress who work together every day to improve not only the country but the citizens who pay the bills.

It would be so nice to hear of Republicans and Democrats working together to come forward with the best legislation for health care reform. for veterans rights and benefits and moving the country out of this economic downturn. Oops, I forgot they are only interested in the next election and their chance for power.

He can sure spew out the republican talking points! He has no ideas, either his own or pre-packaged via the RNC. What a MORON!

Good Luck With That !
if you really want to change things for the Republican Party you might want to get rid of a few of your spokespeople – Like Sarah, Michelle Bachmann, a few of your gun toting tea baggers, Rush, Glenn and now your new adorable spokswoman – Carrie – who just happens to think that Bachmann and Palin are brilliant -

Then he better use his Government provided healthcare and get a brain transplate if that is what he is thinking.

I listened to him today on CNBC, my God, does he realize how stupid he sounds?

These guys are trying to desperately trying to appeal to an America that just doesn't exist anymore. If Ward and June Cleaver were still around their approach might work.

The GOP has become the party of cowards, fear merchants and chicken hawks. They haven't done anything in the interest of average americans since Eisenhower was president.

Thier complete focus has been on maintaining the wealth of the wealthy at the expense of the average american. i.e. defending the interest of big insurance at the expense of many suffering average american families.

Do not be fooled by a new wrapping on the same old package.

Cantor would make a good night manager at Burger King.

He would probably be better than the liberal freaks running things in congress now.

Uhhhhhh. Duh. Mr. Cantor, your Republican Party was in charge of the good ole USA for the last 10 years and you ran it into the ground. Do you honestly think that Americans are going to turn the country back over to a bunch of Republican thugs who have no interest in this great country other than making each other rich at the expense of the middle and working classes of people. Go find yourself a job in a grocery store if you can find one that will hire someone with an attitude and outlook like yours.

I'm sure Cantor appreciates this little love letter, CNN. I didn't like it when CBS Sunday Morning ran the same segment a few weeks ago, either. You could at least mention that Cantor is a right wing radical who proudly speaks to people who equate the President with Hitler and healthcare reform with concentration camps.

"real world solutions" eh Mr. Cantor? I guess that means having folks put tea bags on their heads and ride on a bus all around the country and protest things without knowledge of what they are really protesting.. If that leads to any kind of major resurgence then I'm REALLY afraid for our country.

Only in the terrorist GOP can you 'get ahead' by being a pathetic whiny liar with absolutely ZERO to offer in the way of solutions.

Eric Cantor/Britney Spears 2012!

Not a very impressive person.

Another Romney clone – a Pretty Boy with an empty head, mouthing the eternal Republican mantra, "all taxes should be cut, all Muslims are terroists, all Democrats are unpatriotic, health care like I have, as a Federal employee, is not for the rest of you Americans". Republicans are skunks in business suits.

Is he going to run on his military record?

The Republicans are right on the issues while the Democrats are 100% wrong, that is why 2010 and 2012 will be the Republicans year

Bush, Palin and Romney etc are better for this Country then the person in the White House now. The Democrats can not win on the issues that is why they get personal. Hatred is their game plan.

very scary thought, but I don't think the electorate will forget the pain brought by 8 years of GOPers any time soon

Laugh it up demos cause that will make your donwfall that much sweeter. You thought you elected "The One" to the White House but we all ended up with "The Lemon." It's fun watching the demos unravel under the so-called leadership of Nancy "Bela Legosi" Pelosi and Harry "The Wimp" Reid. I understand that you don't want to openly admit to that, who would but admit it or not, its underway. Election Day last week was just a small start on the road to taking back our country from these misfits. Granted that Bush and his administration left a hell of a mess to clean up but Obama and his hacks are driving our great country into the toilet and that has to be stopped. Mid terms next year and then we throw the bum out in 2012, hopefully before he can do too much damage.

You will never appeal to this Independent again. Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice shame on me.

Doesn't he realize that this isn't a resurgence? The house and senate will never pass term limits for their positions because it means they will have to give up all their perks and power, so the only way for the public to get them out of office is to vote them out if they are an incumbent.

This little weasel should be thrown out of Congress for dereliction of duty!

bunch of anti american amoral GOPhers and CONServatives......and cantor will be down and out at election time

Cantor may well be a clownshoe, but when the votes were counted, the tally put Republicans in office. Democrats should take heed lest they forget Americans elected Bush/Cheney twice and you'd be hard pressed to find a better example of dumb and dumber.

Excuse me in the last 100 years the republicans have a slight edge over the democrats in governors...not counting this last election. If CNN is going to post articles why don't they research. All this information is on line. So if the republicans are the ones who had the edge on governors, how in the devil do we get over democratic leaning. gee glad you didn't have access to my HISTORY PAPERS when I went to school.

If the Presidency, House and Senate were handed over to the Republicans today, tommorrow they would take us back to way the World use to be and that would be okay if the rest of the World would go back with us and we all know that's not going to happen. We're in a Global Change that the Republicans keep placing blame on the Democrats while all World leaders are looking taking on responsibility and solutions.

If Americans love themselves they will leave the Republican party or rather push them away from governance for a long time. The mess we are going through today is of their making. They rallied around George Bush as he made a mess of everything, holding on to policies that are irrational, selfish and empty. Their victory in Virginia is not a sign of resurgence. When the moment comes Americans will be reminded of the culprits. The Republican party.

Face it crazies on the left the house will be run by the republicans after 2010 election. Your side since taking the majority has done absolutely nothing positive for this country and we all can see that. Some of you are blind to facts and will always support your local dumocrat. That is fine because the independents determine elections and based on polls(Not right wing polls for you conspiracty theorists) the independents are supporting republicans by a margin of 20%. Considering 40% of the population are conservatives, and 20% are liberals, this doesn't look good for your side. Enjoy it while you can because CHANGE(positive this time) is a comin.

Does he ever do anything except spew negativity and promote hatred? I`m not complaining just asking.

WHAT SOLUTIONS?????

What solutions have they offered? I want to know! Campiagning is not a solution. TELL ME WHAT SOLUTIONS HAVE THEY OFFERED?!?!?!?!

The first thing the Republicans need to do is care for the country and not just some little section of the country that turns them on. They are stiff-necked and will not receive instructions. Can you imagine if we as citizens could not accomplish anything in our cities because of people like Cantor. Whatever he loves in his wife, he should project on to the American scene. Obviously, he's worked the differences out with his wife. Why can't he do that for the rest of the country? One other thing, I can't tell if he's well-spoken because he spouts the same thing all the time. He might fare well with his district and fellow republicans bu he is not national material, not by a long shot. I can just see Kim J. Il running all over Cantor.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Repugnants never seem to learn, do they...

"Resurgence"...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Mr. Empty Suit...

Yeah, but in Congress, where it really matters, the Democrats gaind two seats. And one of those seats was in the most republican seat in the country.

Go republican with victory in 2010.

Cantor-Palin run for pres, vp, hee hee hee, What a team they would be Dumb and Dumber, they can hire walt repub mimmick to clean the WH out-houses, I'm sure he would be honored. Just kidin' I couldn't resist

This guy is an absolute waste of americans time!!! The only thing he knows is the word NO! His party is becoing extinct!! Not too many conservatives anymore!

Canter will never run for president his wife a democrat the right
wing nut jobs won't tolerate it there using him to get votes and then he
will be pushed a side like the rest of them

Sights set higher than Congress? Maybe he can be an executive at a health insurance company and he can just say no all the time to millions of Americans who are denied coverage everyday.

"unite" your party, how, by excluding people who have different opinions..If you can't take different opinions than yours into your party, you are basically screwed. I think the American people are seeing what the republican party is made up of, intolerant, toted the line or else, bigoted people. You can't bring sane into a party is nothing but insane..

Mr. Cantor was one of THE most vitriolic Republicans pre-election. It seems that he is still stuck on the talking points that got so tired over a year ago.

The reason this generation is leaving a huge mess for the next generation is because WE are overspending as consumers and WE have compounded this debt that the current government is trying to find its way clear of.

Throw an illegal war in Iraq and an unfinished involvement in Afghanistan and there is a debt that THIS generation is piling up for the future. Our children MAY live a life less fruitful than ours, but that's because we went way past the bounds of responsible fiscal management.

GOP – the party of fiscal restraint – HA!

I give Mr.cantor credit for fighting for his party but he is fighting a losing battle. The republicans are more concerned with winning but for sure do not have any platform to the issues our country is facing. They should stop their scare tactics implying our country is going the wrong way, the defecate is high, higher taxes is wrong and simply scaring the young generation that there lives will be no where be as good as a life as they had. We had a president for eight years and our ills started within those eight years. I think Mr. Cantor should worry about how to galvanize his party and come up with a solution/ work as a team, cooperate and not bash the democrats and the president. If his sights are set higher than congress I hope he is not setting his sights on the wrong picture. What we need is not dreamers but visionaries. God gave us one mouth and two ears so we can hear more.

He wants to attact the moderates, so that is why he appeared at the Tea Party meeting. What a joke?

Democtraically leaning Virginia? They must not meant the Old Dominion! When I was there ffor seventeen years is was a Republican statte and could be counted as a Republican state because the Richmond papers make Fox news sound like the DNC daily media page. When the blacks do not vote, Virginia is a solid "red" state and they are proud of it.

Cantor has done well for Virginia. At least he sticks by what he says, not like the Current Prez who can't seem to make a decision. I hate to think of the thought that he might have to actually make a quick decision if the red phone would ring at 3 a.m. in the morning. You can bend over and say good-bye!

This loser has not the backbone to lead the cub scouts let alone this country. it would be the biggest joke for the GOP to have this loser as their canadate for 2012, he is spineless and not very bright don't forget we already had a dumb repubiician in office for 8 long years, let's not make that terrible mistake again. LOL

You people really think Barry Barrack H. Obama and his czars want health care because he cares about you? LOL
It is about power. That is why Bill Clinton just told them to make concessions and pass it no matter what. They need the "win." That is all it is about. They want to jam it through because the House and maybe the Senate will be lost in 2010.
They have done nothing to better this country. In a year: not one thing. Pathetic.

2010:
Democrats – vote them OUT
Moderate Republicans – vote them OUT

Vote in true fiscal conservatives strong on defense and low on taxes.

Dream on neo-con nazis......
After McDonnell finds his way to Argentina....

I'm sorry, but who is Cantor kidding? It took me a while to finally realize, but my former GOP has No roots/credibility in fiscal discipline, quite the opposite considering the record debt created under Republicans.

Cantor unfortunately continues the same old afraid/fear approach and ridiculous social politics that pander to the far right remnants of the party.

Independents and forced-out moderates prefer a broader, more tolerant and positive agenda that considers all Americans.

This is a joke, right???

The GOP is crushing the Dems in the polls right now. It's obvious most Americans prefer the Republican ideology and agenda.

Bad decision to stand on the White House steps in support of the STATUS-QUO and join forces with the likes of the LOONEY Michele BACHMANN? YES, VERY BAD.

Before Cantor makes a decision he must ask for permission from Limbaugh.

This is stupid. People are stupid. The majority voted for Obama b/c they wanted "change." But as soon as he starts trying to implement said "change," everybody freaks out and turns on him. He hasn't done anything that should be a surprise, since everything he's done so far is what he said he would do while campaigning. Evidently, we are a simple people...

Dream On..Mr. Cantor..Dream ON..

The GOP's plan for the future: Regression, take everything back to where we were in the 1950's. It is no wonder that moderates leave the republican party and the majority of republican voters are senior citizens.

Progress means moving forward, not constantly looking back. We cannot move forward with today's challenges keeping the status quo.

Treating this as seriously as I can: Cantor's time in Congress has utterly nullified any presidential aspirations he might have. He's become a joke. The GOP would have to be in dire straits indeed if he's considered a serious candidate in 2016.

Well if politics doesn't work out for him, He can always go back to playing the role of Bill Lumbergh in "Office Space II". Yeeeeaaaah.

What a pathetic character ! Next ...

Where do you start with someone that doesn't even have the backbone to stand up against his own party when they are wrong and offensive to others. He is on par with the rest of his party. Please go away and stay away.

Dream on...this man is too selfish and too partisan to be president. We need leaders who are beyond politics and Cantor is definitely not one of them. He will weasle his way into a presidential bid, but he will not, I repeat, he will NOT win. America is bigger than petty politics and the Republican mindset of greed and power.

Obama/Biden 2012

"Real-world solutions to kitchen table issues". This has been the opposite of what Republicans and Mr Cantor believe in or espouse!

The way he gives speaks will turn off a lot of voters. He talks like Ben Stein... very boring. Obama will dance circles around him in debates.

If you want any chance of being taken seriously, take some speech classes!

Put Democrats in the dumpster in 2010 & 2012

Its just amazing how empty headed these Republicans are. I just wonder how much money the big Insurance fat cats contributed to his campaign. And, what, Resurgence?? Only if they could think on their own instead of NO, NO NO. I didn't hear anything constructive coming out of his mouth(Cantor's)let alone the remnants of the rest of that pathetic part. The GOP.

This guy is clueless...

Cantor? The same Cantor that told the woman with cancer and no insurance that she should A.) look for a charitable organization to help her or B.) ask you neighbors to pay your bills

Yep sure looks like a compassionate Repub that we have come to know..............
And Eric, your trying to intimidate the one Repub that voted for health care didn't work out so well did it?

You sir are dreaming if you think Americans would be dumb enough to vote for a heartless sole like you......................

I think he is aspiring to be an actor!

Cantor this is the GOP's Great White Hope for 2012. What a joke, Even better if he puts Palin or Bachman on the ticket. The days of the GOP are numbered.

While I'm no fan of the Democrats, I dislike the Republicans for their blatant double-standard.

Republicans do not want government intervention...unless it involves two people of the same sex wanting to get married.

Republicans believe in fiscal responsiblity...unless it's financing the projects of a GOP president.

Repubicans cry for their right to pray in schools...but want to supress a non-Christian's right.

Republicans believe that if you are a drug addict, it's your fault...unless you're a conservative radio commentator (in which case you need our prayers).

Republicans believe that if you protest a president's actions, you're patriotic...unless it's a Republican president (in which case you want the terrorists to win).

If the Republicans want a "resurgence", they should drop the religious right, drop the old testament mentality, and stop being so hypocritical.

He'll never get my vote unless I see him working to solve America's problems. He is part of the Republican cabal that tries to stop everything Obama wants to do even if Republicans used to want to do it too. All I see from him and them is a fight to get power back. Their job is to solve our problems.

He looks very nice in a suit though, I'll give him that. But yeah...NO on Republican Resurgence....

Of course Cantor is looking to 2012 and its been obvious for months.

Would I vote for him? NO!

After 35 years left the GOP: You have to be white, male, and very far to the right. The party left the basic platform of center right smaller government. They are now the party of what is becoming a radical political arm religious movement.

Cantor doesn't represent anything different.

It's House Republican Minority Whipping Boy Eric Cantor R-Virginia. The Only Thing He Should Be Running Is His Car Into A Ditch, A Lake Or Whatever Comes First.

Such intelligent comment from the Libs....no wonder you voted for the Imitation Christ.

That guy just creeps me out. Mark my words, it's just a matter of time before he's caught in a compromising position with one of the de facto rethuglican party leader's underage boy toys.

Two "knee-jerk" victories does not a RESURGENCE make. Get a reality check !!

Mr. Cantor certainly fits the current Republican bill.....talk fast, talk loud, talk over the adversary, talk but don't say anything; and wear the perennial smile to mask any emotion. It's scary.

Ron Paul 2012

Yeah, I can see it now ... Cantor twittering at his own next swearing-in. The only time that guy pays attention is when he's at the microphone.

Alot of you Americans wanted change , healthcare , wallstreet , crime potilics , whatever it is Americans wanted change, but change comes with cost , Americans tend to wnat to get something without paying the cost to get it, all of these programs are gonna take monies to fix thses problems , I just ask don't be so selfish to demand that things get better without putting up some capitalm to make this change , so remember the party that wanted to keep things as they are and that means the raping of Americans citizens by big corporations and the healthcare and insurance industry , because if we forget the mess that the republican party put this country through and becasue the change that we want will cost us something , becasue then they will yell from the rooftops that the conservative way of smaller government and less taxes is the only direction we should be going in , but remember this all republican presidents said the exact same thing but did the opposite , so please don't be hoodwinked by these people because if you think that they care about your well being your sadly mistaken,..........

Mr. Canter will find it pretty hard to get elected to anything outside of his own district now that the GOP represents only 17% of Americans. The funny part is, these clowns still think they are in the majority. I guess they still can't accept they resounding rejection by the American people and now with them purging all the moderates the GOP is the GOG (Grand Old Group).

"'resurgence' ... what now he is taking notes from the taliban?"

Now here's a product of the liberalized public education system for you.

What's going on in Afghanistan is an 'insurgence'.

Good luck moron.

These clowns aren't talking about a record number of people didn't both to vote at all last week in Va or NJ. The young voter turn out was at a record low.

The man has no vision, and done all he could to thwart Congressional action on any issue the Democrats feel is important. He is a political hack and an example of how excessively partisan Washington has become. The core of his political world is Pat Robertson.

Eddy Cantor????????????NOPE

cantor= sameo,sameo!!!!!

These people never cease to amaze me . They cannot even get along with the the Democrats how in the world would any of them and I mean any of them ever get along with any world leader? They just come out of the woodwork to want to run for President like it is nothing none of them are qualified to be a dog catcher like someone else said. No wonder their party is in such lousy shape with no direction.

"offer real world solutions"- I haven't heard one real world solution yet from a republican!

If you ask me i think all the Republicans are running for President because they are trying to compete and find which one is suited best to bring down President Obama they being doing that since President Obama been in office thats why they have no intentions on standing behind him to try and get this country on track even though he dont need their help anyway.

"sights set higher"???

If Cantor ever actually bothered to look up, the only thing he'd see would be the underside of Boehner's desk. Think it thru...

The guy is a moron with a big mouth, no ideas, a no shot of winning the mindless bible-thumping automaton fundy vote.

OH my!!!! Run dems run. Cantor is a male Palin. Not sure who is the smartest.
I think the repugs forget that they crested this mess. Obama is to undo in less than 1 year what Bush and his slugs created in 8 years. Had the supreme court not elected Bush, we would not be having this conversation. It sure shows the wisdom of our highest ranked set of attorneys.

I only have one word to say about Cantor . . . . .EWWWWWWW

The Repugs took a couple gorvernorships and all of a sudden there's a resurgence? Just shows how out of touch he is. Keep on telling people that they should sell off all of their possessions to pay for emergency health care, you moron. That'll take you straight to the White House.

Ha! Don't make me choke on my spit. Eric Cantor will not get re-elected in Virginia next year. You can bet your bottom dollar on that! That's like saying Boehner is going to run for POTUS.

Eric Cantor is done his time is up, hit road jack don’t comeback

Obammie and the democratic congress have proven they are the biggest "jokes."

Why do you think there is a resurgence going on? Duh!

We need someone like Cantor to run for POTUS. Someone who is accountable to all the people, and not just to their Democratic special interest groups and just their own caucus..

I'm totally fed-up with all the recycled wing-nuts that are trying for a place in the WHITE-HOUSE. The GOP should find their proper place in the OUT-HOUSE instead.

We need someone like Cantor to run for POTUS. Someone who is accountable to all the people, and just to their Democratic special interest groups and just their own caucus..

If the economy, housing, job markets continue to grow even though it may not be as fast as some would like.......it will show that President Obama has been on the right track and the Republicans won't win the seats needed to make a come back.....instead the Democrats can say " Just think how much faster we could have come back, if the Republicans would have worked with us instead of being the party of NO NO NO on everything the President tried to do".......

Eric Cantor has the personality of wood. I sometimes wonder if he is really human or an android. When he speaks on any topic its almost comical.If he has higher aspirations he has a lot of work todo,actually any Republican't right now has a lot of work to do.

This guy only represents the rich and privledged. His campaign will be well financed but he will not get elected nationally. He's another one of those politician looking to be famous instead of actually helping regular people.

This guy is the wimpiest image of any poiltician I have seen in my 80yrs.He could not impress a bunch of cub scouts at their first meeting.. They would not get anything accomplished at a world meeting because the other countries would be laughing to much to get and serious work finished.

Mr. Cantor forgets that the Dems took it in '08 based on the PROMISE of sweeping change. Read: his guys were in charge, America was sick of it.

Mr. Cantor is wrong in supposing Americans are nostalgic for the party they threw out in no uncertain terms.

We wanted change. A year later, we hardly want to change back.

The whole Republican agenda is to destroy the middle class in America.
They throw up window dressing to attract voters, like, abortion, gun control and old fashioned values but if any of those issues came between them and making the rich richer those issues would be abandoned in a heartbeat.
Wake up middle class America the Republicans want to destroy your way of life!

Save it, they will never resurge.

Wait until Cantor runs into the GOP glass ceiling for non-christians, non-whites, and women. The poor sap.

A man who doesn't believe his wife should vote, work, or be able to control her own body. What a prize.

Great.
Another radical religious right republican running for president.
These politicians hide behind the Bible while spewing hate, anger,
unrest, lies, distortions and hypocrasy.
They talk about fiscal conservatism while almost destroying our
country these last eight years.
Their goals are party first, winning at any cost, maintaining the status quo which is sacrificing the American people while ensuring big business remain in total power and destroying, obstructing any policy regardless of its merits.
They are well on their way to becoming our country's most dangerous domestic terrorists.

He would be a clean look. I hope Mr Cantor doesn't get HI-JACKed by the CONSERVATIVE TEA PARTY party.

Right now it appears he is 33% there....

Come on GOP separate from the CONSERVATIVE crazy's and be the party I believe in.....

It must be hard being a liberal. I mean the best 12 years were with Repubs in charge of spending ie Congress 94'-06'. I'm sorry that unemployment was under 5% and there was 7 million more jobs before the liberal agenda began in 07'. Atleast Nobama12 is having a job summit with SEIU or bankrupted California, UAW bankrupted GM, and teachers union that has helped keep America ranked near the basement. The good news is he is finally admitting the stimulus was a failure, so maybe there is HOPE.

He looks like that guy Miles on Murphy Brown, who coincidentally played a corrupt and inept Congressional aid in the Eddie Murphy movie, The Distinguished Gentleman.

so lt me get this straight. he keeps kosher yet he will stand in front of a crowd which holds up signs of obama as hitler and even worse a sign that shows the bodies of the aushwitz dead and keep that grin on his face like he is the king???? another disgusting republican!!!

And Big Oil and Big Pharma trot out another of their puppets, LOL if the Republican party leaders weren't so pathetic, America could unabashedly laugh out loud.

Please keep talking - the more you do the more it helps the Dems. Yes we're scared, but if you think the country thinks the teabagger GOPs are a reasonable alternative you're nuts.

The one thing that will ensure republican successes in 2010 will be if Democrats do not get out there and VOTE!! This was the case in those recent elections in Virgina and New Jersey. Democrats did not show up in the numbers they did in 2008 and they will lose seats in Congress if they do not get out there and participate on election day and that will end the progress that is being made now. Think about it people. Hold the line and make your voices heard by voting in 2010. .

who is this and how is he related to Eddie Cantor?

When Republicans win, Americans die, and our military gets abused and neglected! Proven by the endless opposition to better veteran benefits by the GOP.

They have ALWAYS opposed treating our troops better when they get home. Don't take my word for it, look it up, republicans have CONSISTANTLY opposed veteran benefits. It's a staple of their political agenda to take our men and women of the armed services for granted.

If you care for america, you will vote democrat...the only party that truely works for ALL americans, rather then a select few white rich people.

Hahahahaha! Yawn, he's such a bore. I can't imagine him a President. I'm an Independent and don't have any desire for anyone in the Republican to lead my country.

Cantor is more qualified than the current empty suit in the WH. I think he'd make a good senator though.

Now I understand why his wife is a DEMOCRAT !!! She probably has an open mind ... because Cantor, as all the Republicans, are still "stuck" in the 50's and everybody else, besides the hard and narrow minded right wings, in 2009 !!! Wake up "real americans" !!!

As a democrat I will admit that the energy behind the republicans is unsettling, but it very well may be blown out of proportion as well by the media.

Democrats can not become complacent, we MUST hit the voting booths come 2010 and elect even MORE democrats, democrats that will move this country forward rather then hold it hostage as the Republican Party has, and always will do.

We can not blame the republicans if we fail to give Obama the votes he needs in Congress and the Senate. We asked for him to make these changes, now we must back him with like minded democrats to get the job done once and for all.

Let's say NO to the do nothing but complain and cry republicans. We can not name a SINGLE policy that benefits the average american that the republicans have EVER been FOR, unless we go all the way back to Lincoln, which was the one and only good republican EVER.

Most visible at checking his blackberry for personal messages during the President's State of the Union while his lunatics wave papers and shout? Cantor is a complete tool and is useless.

No one who is a member of the C Street Family has any business in government. Their oath to uphold the constitution means nothing.

Canter is as smart as a fifth grader,but not much more than that.

Canter is a joke,he couldnt make dog catcher in my town,hahaha

BWAAAHHHHHH!!!

Well, I have to say the one thing republicans excell at is propping up empty suits, (see bush, palin, romney et. al) and Can'tor certainly fits that bill.

"The Republican resurgence begins tonight."

'resurgence' ... what now he is taking notes from the taliban?

Mr. Cantor, if Republicans continue to offer their outdated ideology and no positive agenda to the voters, your "resurgence" is nothing more than a fantasy!
