House Majority Leader Eric Cantor endorsed Mitt Romney for president on Sunday, saying on NBC’s “Meet the Press” he‘s already cast his vote for the former Massachusetts governor ahead of Virginia’s primary on Tuesday.
“We have seen now that the central issue about this campaign is the economy, and the country’s got to make a choice,” Cantor said. “Mitt Romney is the only candidate in the race who’s put forward a bold, pro-growth, pro-jobs plan for the future.”
Calling him the only candidate who knows how to create jobs, Cantor said Romney will “best be able to lead this economy back to a growth model.”
Cantor’s endorsement comes just two days before the mega-contest known as Super Tuesday, when the four remaining GOP presidential hopefuls will square off in a total of 10 states, with 419 delegates up for grabs. It’s also one day after Romney scored a double-digit win in the Washington state caucuses.
Cantor predicted a big victory for Romney on Tuesday and in the general election in November, calling him “the man for this year.”
“I believe this is a historic election, there’s no question about what kinds of challenges we face,” he said. “I think he can beat Barack Obama in November.”

Posted on March 4, 2012 at 10:47amRomney is a fool and so is anyone going out of their way to endorse him. Let down again by a republican in congress, who’d have guessed? Mitt Romney is an out of touch moron who doesn‘t know anything about the average person’s life. He’s hardly going to change the tax policy from where it is. He’s going to spend money on his business buddies in the form of subsidies. All we have here is the republican version of Obama. If you insist on supporting this mentally deficient, poor excuse of a man, please support real conservatives for the house and senate. You know, people Eric Cantor probably thinks of as unreasonable, or overly zealous when they are trying to save the country from collapse.

Posted on March 4, 2012 at 11:13amWhat a shock!!! I can’t believe Beck is Ok with this…..
“I am big believer in getting money where the money is,” Romney says on the video, “The money is in Washington.”
The video, which was surreptitiously shot by Democratic opponents of Romney on Oct. 16, 2002, shows him addressing a group called the New Bedford Industrial Foundation. The Power Point presentation he uses lists ways to improve economic development in Massachusetts, including “boost federal involvement.”
“I want to go after every grant, every project, every department in Washington to assure that we are taking advantage of economic development opportunities,” Romney tells the group.
In his own words…. Willard Romney

Posted on March 4, 2012 at 12:00pmHe will do what other presidents have done and what Obama intends to do and that is cut more benefits, pay etc from the federal employee. Go to the proverbial whipping post…rob the retirement system…etc etc. You see Obama doing it for the first time with the Miliatry…you know a Capt makes more than a GS 14? Prob not…as for the civil service comparability act (yeah it’s been an ongoing comparable pay to the private sector for over 20 years) a hell of a lot of employees will get more money…they are now 15% behind the private sector…and 20% behind the military…study has been done…and Mitt is not aware of it? Yeah beating the feds is popular so go and beat them some more.
You know if you are a federal employee and your wife works in the private sector…when the federal retiree under this situation retires the wife falls under the GPO, (government pension offset)…it is a formula that disallows any collection of SS and does put the wife under the poverty level…and the women are put on food stamps, plus they get more entitlements.
You are better off marring a federal employee or not working for the feds at all. Their retirement is crappy.
My counter part’s annual pay was 250K a year…come on now are you really going to pay Contracting Officer’s that much…I hope not…Seriously you folks do not know the ins and outs of the federal government….besides it is the state and local gov’t that is killing us.

However if you choose to keep railing against him to the end, you will have the pleasure of watch Obama distroy this country and only have yourself and your like minded buddies to blame. Newt a fat old angry raciest white guy is not going to win. Santorum the boyscout who pretends to be a conservative but votes the way he thinks would make him popular is not going to win and Ron Paul the great man that he is just can’t seem to pull it off either.

Why didn’t Cantor call Romney “the man for the next 4 years”? I got a strange Monk shiver up my spine when I heard that. Also, the part where Cantor had to choke out the words, “Romney’s pro growth plan”, was strange.
Let’s see… Romney wins and picks a VP selected by Cantor and crew. Boehner is out as Speaker of the House and Cantor takes his place. Rom gets bumped off, Cantors choice for VP becomes Pres, Cantor becomes VP and Boehner steps back in as Speaker….
And no, I left my tin foil conspiracy hat in the closet. Just a bad feeling when I heard Cantor in this video clip. One of those Monk senses I guess. Cantor is hiding something and I don’t know what it is. He is lying and has an alternate agenda.

Posted on March 5, 2012 at 8:09amI will vote for ANYONE but Obama.
Do I think Romney has a chance. Not really. #1 reason is he is a Mormon. People are twisted in knots over being PC to the extreme. A Mormon president would not support this and that is why the left have been “for” Romney from the start.
Obama will just walk in for the win. He won’t be running against Romney. Obama won’t be running against his record. He will just be the “only choice” for the PC fanatics. He has already started laying planks about women’s issues that he cares so “deeply” about. Sure. For the win.
This political game is sickening. The players are bad enough. Then you add the support of the liberal media to it and it’s all so over the top wrong. I wish we could vote out the media too. I do my part. I don’t watch it. But I do see snippets on the internet. Sickening.

Sen. Tom Coburn: Mitt Romney best equipped to solve problems facing our nation
America faces the greatest challenges of any in my lifetime. Our debt is now the size of our entire economy. If we don’t change course in the near future, we will face an economic catastrophe far worse than our recent recession.
At the same time, we’re facing a crisis of leadership in Washington.
I’m proud to support Romney because he is a leader. What Romney has done in his 25 years in the private sector is precisely what we need a president to do in Washington. Romney has done hard things. He has turned businesses around, told people hard truths about what needed to be done, inspired confidence and overcome excuses. Romney is not a career politician or a career legislator. As a former governor and business leader, he is an executive who knows how to use executive power.
Just last week, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said we are about to go over a massive fiscal cliff. We can’t afford to elect a career politician at this decisive moment in our history. We need to elect a leader. I’m confident that leader is Mitt Romney.

If Ron Paul is going to tout his Military Service and call others “Chicken Hawks”… let the real Viet Nam Vets vet his Service Record and DD-214.
The title “Flight Surgeon” is a very misleading one in Ron Paul‘s case as it would make you think he’s performing surguries on Combat casualties and greatly aiding the war effort.

Posted on March 4, 2012 at 10:48amSo eliminating five unconstitutional departments thereby making the government smaller would somehow cut the GDP 7%? That‘s your story and you’re sticking to it? Where did you cut this nonsense from Mad magazine? Making government smaller reducing it’s power and intrusiveness in our lives is key,and I would go much further than Paul,get rid of HUD,IRS.dept.of energy and education,end the fed and return to the gold standard,we will be on the gold standard in 3-5 years,the disastrous federal reserve monetary policy will ensure it.

“Of course Ron Paul‘s plan does not include an analysis of the economic effects of Paul’s proposed budget… though cutting $1 trillion from the federal budget would be an instantaneous 7 percent cut to GDP, nearly equivalent to the slowdown seen during the Great Recession, not to mention the millions of jobs lost directly and indirectly with his massive cuts.”
The analysis of the economic effects of cutting government spending and reducing taxes in a recession has already been done.

Why the Left Fears Libertarianism
http://www.lewrockwell.com/gregory/gregory217.html
“The fact is, most left-liberals do hate and fear libertarianism more than they oppose modern conservatism. It makes sense. For one thing, the conservatives and liberals seemingly agree on 90% of the issues, certainly when compared to the views of principled libertarians. They all favor having a strong military. We tend to want to abolish standing armies. They all think the police need more power – to crack down on guns, if you’re a liberal, and to crack down on drugs, if you’re a conservative. We libertarians think police have way too much power and flirt with the idea of doing away with them altogether. The conservatives and liberals all want to keep Medicare, Social Security, and public schools intact, if tweaked around the edges. We see these programs for what they are: the parasitic class’s authoritarian and regressive programs to control the youth and foment intergenerational conflict. …”
“With the central state as their common ground, the two camps enjoy hurling insults at each other, playing culture war games, vying over power, doing what they can to expand government knowing that even should they lose control, it will eventually come back to them.”

Iran’s “Air Force” has NO strategic capability (just like their military), Iran is SURROUNDED by nukes, Iran can not produce enough oil for its own citizens or military to threaten the US in ANY credible way. The ONLY legitimate threat Iran offers is ‘duping’ the US into another unneeded/unnecessary war that will only quicken our insolvency. Wait…we already are insolvent.
