brace yourself for the great crash of 13
The world is watching as Eric Cantor smirks and tries to stall his party's 11th hour mistake. The last few days shows how dysfunctional Congress is.
I agree. Cantor is evil.
Well, maybe that's a little strong, but whenever Boehner has tried to reach an agreement with the White House, Cantor has throttled it. I don't agree with Boehner's politics, but I think he's a decent man. I think the same of Mitch McConnell. If it wasn't for the radical right, we could probably have a functioning Congress again.
