The republicans still had a shot but unfortunately they didn't nominate a guy the American people were comfortable with. They nominated one that looks like Dr. Evil with a blinking problem and a gimp arm. He had no shot against Obama.

Nutcases suck. From all sides.

Republican Rep. Eric Cantor's Richmond campaign office was shot at Wednesday night, Fox News has learned, the latest in a rash of apparent threats and acts of intimidation against members of Congress.

Most of the threats so far have been reported by Democrats, but Cantor -- the No. 2 Republican in the House -- is one of about 10 lawmakers who has asked for increased security protection, Fox News has learned. As a member of the House leadership, U.S. Capitol Police already provide Cantor with a security detail around the clock, but he has asked for more security.

As House Republican whip, Cantor is the highest elected Jewish politician in the country.

Because there are Democrats and there are Republicans, and he was the Democrats choice.

As someone who votes for most issues (I agree with most of their stances, not all) Democrats want, who else would I vote for but the Democratic nominee?

Television has changed the game of politics completely. Look at the Presidents before it and after. It's borderline embarrassing.

The Richmond police disagree.

So you don't believe their investigation or the information about the bullet and how it entered the office?

I'm reserving judgment, since their investigation is just preliminary right now, but if someone was meaning to threaten Cantor and shoot a bullet into his office, they're certainly not doing a very menacing job with the details that have come out.

If you are asking if more Repubs have guns than Democrats, you know the answer. The moonbats are on both sides, however, which is why my conscience is clear voting for Nader.

No, that is not what I am asking. I am asking the question that I asked in my last post. I am wondering what "shocking" means to you in relation to the fact that Cantor's office does not appear to have been targeted, though he was happy to exploit it as such in an effort to tell others to not exploit threats.

So he's a disingenuous as$hole no matter what...but he's seeming likely to be a super disingenuous as$hole after all is said and done, too.

He sure was able to mislead and deceive the American public to get him elected in 2008. I will admit he does have the gift of gab. Now that the American public knows how this snake operates maybe they will wake up and not elect him in 2012.
