House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) hopped on the GOP-could-take-control-of-the-House bandwagon on Monday — a prediction offered by none other than White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs over the weekend.
“I think we’re going to retake the House, as Mr. Gibbs suggested yesterday,” Cantor said on CNBC’s Squawk Box. “That’s going to change the dynamic for sure.”
“When we regain the House — because I do think that we’ll retake the majority — the president will have to deal with us,” Cantor said, speaking more optimistically about the GOP’s political fortunes than his colleagues have in the past.
Here are four reasons why they won’t take back the house:
- Republicans are pathological liars. Therefore, if Cantor says they’re going to take back the House, he doesn’t actually believe that will happen.
- Republicans are dumb-f*cks. We’ve all seen what happens when you have dumb-f*cks running the country. People need time to forget the damage done by the Republicans during the Bush administration.
- Republicans have no ideas. Most people are aware that taxes have never been lower, and lowering taxes are Republicans’ answer to every question.
- Democrats are trying to fix the problems created by the Republicans and all the Republicans are doing is obstructing them. That doesn’t help our country.
