I believe I read yesterday or the day before that his campaign is in trouble.<br /><br />http://www.buzzfeed.com/johnstanton/cantor-urges-tolerance-on-gays-muslims#HTWF2<br /><br />"House Majority Leader Eric Cantor Thursday urged his party, and the nation, to guard against intolerance on issues ranging from gay marriage to the role of Muslims in the government, arguing the country’s diversity of opinion and acceptance are part of America’s basic fabric.<br /><br />“There can’t be some kind of monolithic opinion handed down from the government or a political party. I don’t think we’re monolithic beings,” Cantor, a Virginia Republican, said in an interview with BuzzFeed."Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12130159732026998535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-58114764281814626642012-07-20T17:30:05.074-05:002012-07-20T17:30:05.074-05:00I'm very glad to see them speaking out, too. M...I'm very glad to see them speaking out, too. My impression always was that John McCain and Hillary had a very good and close working relationship and that's why I thought he spoke out. She was endangered by that stupid remark of Bachman's when Hillary was in Egypt. I believe British press and others were taking about what idiots the GOP were concerning it too. There was also the British parliament re Romney fundraising in London:<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/20/us/politics/london-fund-raisers-may-put-mitt-romney-in-banking-scandals-glare.html?_r=1<br /><br />"But the two receptions that Mr. Romney, the presumptive Republican nominee, will hold for donors next week during a swing through Europe are turning into an ill-timed public relations headache for him."<br /><br />They are getting a lot of attention for their terrible behavior. I suspect the motivation was that they actually put SOS Clinton in harms way. I'm glad they finally spoke out.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12130159732026998535noreply@blogger.com
