Now thereās commitment for yaā¦
Does this mean heāll resign from the House itself early too?
Hope heās paid off his mortgageā¦Shame to be in the unemployment line when heās been so hostile to those in the unemployment line. Chances are his wife has a good jobā¦so no worries right? Maybe he can go back and work for his daddy selling real estate. I thought I read that somewhere.
Wonder if heās entitled to govāt pension.

Letās just see how much he tries to live off the govāt dole now that heās leaving his government job. Hypocrisy, such as that on display by these GoOPers, knows no bounds.

Good luck. I am sure that the corporate kleptocrats who paid your campaign for hundreds of thousands of dollars in steak house dinners will be happy to find you a high paying, no-work job for you (your wife and your family) that makes good use of the incompetence, ineptitude, ignorance and arrogance that you so ably exemplified in the do-nothing congress.

Not sure exactly how they determine this, but Iām guessing he will end up being replaced by my (former) worthless congresscritter: Adam Kinzinger - IL. For whatever reason, they (the GOP) have been propping him up on those Sunday Morning wingnutfests (Felate The Press, Face The Baggers, etc.), almost making me think they suspected something like this might be coming. Heās one of those āYoung Gunsā that hasnāt been āshot downā like Cantor. Comes across as reasonable, but forget it: heās a bought and paid for teabaggerā¦
AIPAC. Theyāve already got him an office.

Truthfully, this might be jockeying for the speakerās spot in the next term, assuming the talk about Boehner stepping down after the midterms are accurate. I think Boehner is doomed as speaker regardless, so whoever replaces Cantor today, might be replacing Boehner tomorrow. My guess is McCarthy is the one that gets it.

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didnāt you?
Peopleād call, say, āBeware doll, youāre bound to fallā
You thought they were all kiddinā you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hanginā out
Now you donāt talk so loud
Now you donāt seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
