People who don’t believe in government shouldn’t try to govern. Eric Cantor, the Majority Leader, in the house is a walking talking April Fool. Two days ago he made an outrageous statement at a press conference, proving that he is clueless about the government that he is trying to lead.
Cantor isn’t just any fool who lucked out and got elected to office in an off year. He is a leader of the Republican Party in the House. And yet he actually said that if the House passes a bill it becomes law. Period. And now he’s trying to pass a bill that says that if the Senate doesn’t pass a bill by his deadline, then by default the House law will become the law of the land. You know for a Tea Party darling, he sure is clueless about the Constitution. Why does he think there are three separate, but equal, branches of government? Better yet, how did such a fool get elected by his own party into a leadership role?
This is the fool who insisted that the Constitution be read aloud in the House. Then they left out all the parts about slavery, which may explain why fellow Tea Party darling Michelle Bachman thinks that the founding fathers abolished slavery. Guess she missed the dates when she learned about the Revolution and then the Civil War. She thinks they happened at the same time, I guess.
These are the fools listening to the Tea Party about not compromising on a bill that would prevent the shutdown of the federal government. I’ve noticed that a lot of Tea Partiers are senior citizens. Most likely they are on Social Security and Medicare. Rumor has it that Cantor wants to kill both of them. And if the government shuts down a lot of seniors may find out what it means to live without one or more Social Security checks, especially since no bill has passed that would pay for the people who actually process the checks.
While it is April, and there are a lot of fools in this story, this is no joke.
