Well, isn’t that the kiss of death.
The last of the three Young Guns standing should have his chance at rejection. Cantor, Ryan and McCarthy led the ship astray following the Tea Party.
Cantor’s parting gift, a stab in the back and a twist of the knife into McCarthy. Cantor knows good and well that his enthusiastic support of McCarthy means that McCarthy will not win. It’s going to be someone from a red state.
Zzzzzzzz…Who cares? Anyone could do Cantor’s job. Obstruct everything.
Dear Ivan, thanks for the kiss of death.
Sincerely yours, Kev.
My exact thought!!
Just trading one dick for another.
Cantor further went on to say, “But I hear that he wants to be a Senator and he has some sort of list that he thinks important.”
Amazing, foresight is not one of his best instincts, come to think of it, neither is his history. But he is making history this time. He be the winner of the most disgraced from that position. Wonder if he will recognize that point? Guess not being he just hung out his supposedly best buddy over the cliff. lol
Because young guns, full of cum, led this country into an austerity ditch, one Rayn and Kevin still suck donations to actively enact.
They gave the finger to the majority of voters, and now occupy the higher levels of the sewer that has become red state politics.
Well deserved distinction, chief turd in the DC punchbowl.
It’s a good thing the Virginia 7th does not pick the House Majority Leader. If it did, that would mean Kev would have just gotten the Kiss of Death.
LULZ. Exactly what is your support worth, Lame Duck Cantor? Eric the Dud just put a stink all over McCarthy.
As a voter in McCarthy’s district, I welcome the sunlight a leadership position would bring to the oil and ag complex in Bakersfield. 90% of California’s fracking occurs in Kern county, and the place is central to California water politics, particularly groundwater theft of several cubic kilometers a year. Bakersfield also has the worst air quality in the nation. The issue, a least as I see it, is that the resource stripping that has gone on so long doesn’t have much road left. Aquifers are depleted and tainted, soils are saline, and the “heavy” kerogen goop frackers are struggling to remove require others to shoulder some pretty hefty costs. To date, McCarthy has danced above this as the oil and ag industries define the political space. If, however, we see the farmers and oil guys splitting ways, as recently seen in Starrh v. Aera Oil, a case that pit an almond grower against a large local fracking operation, the national attention would reflect directly on Young Gun Kev.
