Eric Cantor is a LIAR

[malaise]

When Gregory asked him about Rushican support for Bush budgets(compared to their lack of support for Obama), he said they were supporting the troops. Bush never included the money for war in his budget.

Gregory should have nailed his ass. I shocked that he didn't, really, really shocked...NOT.

1. That's what infuriates me about the blowdried bobbleheads

parading around as journalists: politicians lie with impunity, never even mildly questioned and certainly never corrected when they lie so transparently.

This garbage is why I turned broadcast news off in 2004 and have absolutely no reason to turn it back on again.

I just wish other folks would get equally sick of being lied to.

2. To be fair...

I though Gregory's follow-up question was good. Something like "so it's ok to support deficit spending when it comes to a war, but not when it comes to an economic crisis." Bush did have overwhelming support in the beginning from both parties in his "war on terror" escapades. But the republicans are failing to see the economic crisis we are in is REAL (unlike the phony threat of Iraq) and that it IS a crisis that deservies their support of the President's plans, or at the least, an openness to the administration's solutions.

5. Valid point but apparently he forgot that

Bush did not include the cost of the war in the budgets that Cantor et al has passed without question. Now given that Pres. Obama pointed made this point with regularity recently, it seems odd that he failed to follow up.

3. Dick "It's not our role" Gregory? NEVER!

4. Gregory is too big a wimp to ask anyone the right questions
