Cantor thinks we’re stupid<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To help reduce uncertainty, Cantor is moving to quell rank-and-file grumbling about 2012 spending and the supercommittee.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

Cantor is also urging his members to support the deficit reduction supercommittee created by the debt deal, adding that the supercommittee must succeed in coming up with \u201cat least\u201d $1.5 trillion in deficit cuts, rather than allowing automatic cuts to be triggered.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is profoundly disappointing, and a continuation of the Tea Party’s reasons to oppose this moronic supercommittee.\u00a0 Don’t forget that the automatic cuts which are now used as a club to beat the Freshmen and Tea Party into line were brought into being by approving this awful committee as a Hail Mary around the ridiculous August 2 “deadline”.<\/p>\n

This is just one more example of Cleavon Little holding a gun to his own head, fooling we the idiots into not angering him for the sake of the hostage.<\/p>\n

The Republicans voided their bowels on the Tea Party to get the bill passed, and now as predicted, they use it as a weapon against us.\u00a0 This is why I have cancelled my subscription to Hugh Hewitt (nice guy, good heart, but I don’t need to pay for RINO-ism), and stopped listening to Laura Ingraham.\u00a0 Anybody who supported the bill is on the wrong side, either through near-sightedness or malice.<\/p>\n

Cantor worries me.\u00a0 Mostly I like him.\u00a0 But this debt deal was was inexcusable, and now beating us with it is not going to help.<\/p>\n
