BY WESLEY P. HESTER

"House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-7th, is pushing for information on the status of Gov. Bob McDonnell’s request for federal disaster assistance for Louisa County residents in the wake of an earthquake there last month.

On Friday, Cantor held a conference call with Federal Emergency Management Agency and Louisa County officials. A readout of the call provided by Cantor’s office indicates that he asked FEMA officials about the timeline and process for determining whether the agency would grant federal assistance.

“FEMA said they have received the Governor’s request and sent it to the White House for a decision but could not provide any specific information on timing,” the readout said. “Even when asked for an estimate based on past applications they were unable to do so.”

Cantor also spoke with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, asking for additional information and a better sense of timing, according to his office."


He wants everybody eles' districts to be stuck waiting for aid until the dysfunctional congress makes matching cuts in budget. His district? Show him the $$, or at least the calendar for when the money will get there for him to glad hand as it gets passed out.

If there are still people with critical thinking skills left in this country, he should be hounded out of office for the sheer, unabashed hypocrisy.

      Eric Cantor seems to have another agenda. He has done nothing but disparage the middle class and protect millionaires. The Kochs need to be investigated along with all those businesses that are undermining our democracy.It seems to me if we all know about their agenda, the DOJ does ,too.

    • Cantor reminds me of a person holding a tin cup on a street corner. Fill my cup or I'll spit on you. Like I said the voters in his district are brain washed.

    • Eric Cantor is an asshole! The people in his district need to vote and get rid of him.
      Remember when Eric Cantor said "that if Congress is unable to come to an agreement over an operating budget, the GOP’s version would simply become law of the land."
      That is Not how our Government works. The GOP is doing everything in their power to take our rights away. People need to wake up and vote them out before their votes will be worth nothing!

      Too true. Fact is, the people who should and could vote this moron out are the very ones who were at the epicenter of the earthquake, so they are caught between needing this turd blossom to exploit the situation on their behalf, and of course his own...and realizing that he doesn't really believe anything he actually purports to stand for....truly a Catch 22 for the voters, but not sure about those critical thinking skills in Virginia. Our political arena seems to currently be dominated by Re-THUG-licans, and Virginia is one of those states that does VERY well at the DOD feeding trough.

      We still have Senators Webb and Warner, but Cantor is a lot like a boil on the butt....painfully makes his presence known.

    • What an asshole! Make me look good, but f**k everybody else. Take care of my constituents. Hypocrite! Guys like him all hate anything government until THEY need it. They bash stimulus until they can hand out the check.
