| House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is among the "munchkin" Republicans who are afraid of alienating women by opposing reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, conservative talk-radio host Mark Levin said Wednesday night. Levin blasted Cantor for "going to war" with conservatives by pressing them to support the Democrats´ version of the bill. ""Mr.Cantor, I hate to tell you this: We´re already in political war with you," Levin said. "I mean Eric Cantor is the number-two Republican in the House," Levin said. "He´s the majority leader because we, the conservatives,

Comments: This is just not good for the party. I remember Cantor going on Fox News right after their retreat in Virginia and he was flat and uninspiring to say the least.

I liked Levin a lot better when he was just an occasional appearance on Limbaugh´s program, many years ago. The constant yelling has worn down my patience these days, however. The man needs to see about a calm-down pill.

Another ingrate that I so hope to see thrown out on his kiester next election, then he can run as a dem, which seems to be his political philosophy.

I liked Cantor a lot better when he was just an occasional conservative presence in Congress. The constant capitulation to liberals has worn down my patience these days, however. The man needs to see about a stimulant pill so he can show a little concern for the Constitution.

So, if an American WOMAN is accused of domestic violence by/in an Indian tribe, SHE is stripped of her rights?? Do I have that correct?
Why is this garbage coming up for a vote? PASSING this bill is NOT going to get republicans any cudos ANYWHERE in the media so why do it?!
Is Stuart Stevens your consultant, Eric? And btw, what are you all doing there in the land of my ancestors(Virginia) raising taxes??

Hmm. Cantor does have a 96 lifetime rating from the ACU, just like Jim DeMint.

I´m with Mark Levin on this and just about everything. Maybe some should listen to what he says. This is a horrible bill and should be shot down.
The house leadership, if we can call it that, needs to go. Remember what BoneHead did to TEA Party members, removed them from their positions. Canter voice and speech sounds like Al Gorebot!

Anyone that picks Cantor over Levin must be a Moderate, at best. "Levin yells too much, Palin´s voice irritates me, Rush is too rich....." Moderates are so like Leftists. They talk about silly things, not facts.

Screaming Levin shows an awful lot of "courage" tearing people apart and hocking berries and lightweight books from the confines of his gold plated bunker. Canter, Boehner, and every orher "elected" official that must actually appear sane in public have a much less charmed existence. I´d like to see Screaming Levin take some time off from tossing rhetorical grenades in the general vicinity of Republicans from the bunker and actually run for an office -- any office. He might learn him some humility as voters kick him in the teeth.

Ok, I´ll bite, #13. How in the world is a solid conservative with, as an earlier poster pointed out, the same ACU rating as revered Jim DeMint, qualify as a "RINO", much less the person lacking sufficient male equipment you describe? Do we have no loyalty to any of our own who has stuck his neck out on our behalf in the past? And must our criticisms be so crude and loud? Is Mark Levin the standard and if Levin yells "froggy", we all jump?

Mark Levin´s passion for equal respect for the inherent AND Constitutionally secured Rights of each individual citizen equally in America the beautiful is inspiring! It is refreshing and invigorating. It expresses what many are thinking & wakes up the slumbering! ...It seems to have become alarmingly, ´missing in action,´ inside the dems´ beltway Boomtown lately. Freedom in the USA has endured throughout our history because of such passion for America & that Life, Liberty & Pursuit of Happiness for which it stands!
America´s ship of state´s determined course toward that, ´shining city on the hill,´ has always been enthusiastically embraced & encouraged by such passion as Levin´s for freedom!
Freedom is rare in human history & is fragile to maintain, as the blood of patriots prove. This sovereign country is the most exceptional & successful democratic republic, which it is, in all of history because of America the Beautiful´s Founders who labored to express Liberty´s true concepts with clear & understandable wording, risked their all as they prayed for Wisdom to express the Constitutional principles upon which the U.S.A. was established. Such determination requires integrity, selflessness, courage and thus demands passion for freedom.
But freedom won can be lost to tyranny due to lethargy. ´´´Eternal vigilenge is the price of freedom.´´ Pres. Reagan reminded us that the loss of freedom is always but one generation away. Let´s have more of Levin´s wisdom, knowledge and passion for Constitutional freedom in America´s Boomtown beltway and throughout the land!

Voting records are important but there is a much larger dynamic in play here than Cantor´s voting record. Try thinking outside of the RINO box and look at the big picture.
Levin is fighting the good fight for the future of this country on several fronts including the Landmark Legal Foundation.
Cantor is a nice guy but he´s also weak and ineffective.

#18, your "big picture" is fuzzy, seemingly coming into and out of focus depending on which person has upset you on any given day. My opinion is that we shouldn´t be so frivolously warned off our own people.

How far down the drain does the nation have to go before some Republicans think it´s ok to show some passion? When I saw the spot on Cantor and wife on 60 Minutes - it was uh-oh time. Thank God we have Mark Levin - still smarter than Boehner, Mitch and little Eric put together.

I think Mark mentioned that this law could make it a crime to raise your voice and other not so uncommon things that happen in relationships at times. The thing is, once these type of things are on a person´s record, good luck with that background check for that hunting rifle. Hell, it´s hard enough to pass it now. I was put on a hold last fall, trying to buy a squirrel shootin´ .22. I´ve had a CCW permit for years and a spotless record and someone in a basement in Quantico or wherever just didn´t think it was important enough to see if I was the same person they must have confused me with. In this gun grabbing era, we should all be on guard for anything such as this bill- for which Cantor probably got a special dinner and a backrub from Diane Feinstein.

If it weren´t for Mark Levin there wouldn´t be a Landmark Legal Foundation... The man is fighting for our country as well as your rights not to like him. At least he is fighting, more than I can say for the entire leadership of the GOP.

So marvelously said Dennis Miller on Fox New´s the O´Reilly Factor in a discussion about the Internal Revenue Service scandal Wednesday (video follows with transcript and absolutely no need for additional commentary): DENNIS MILLER: Nobody in the press is going to bear in on this. Let´s face facts: the American media is in an abusive relationship with Obama. They don´t quite know what to do. If you take the New York Times, you could refer to it as "Fifty Shades of Grey Lady."

On Wednesday, CNN anchor Jake Tapper dug into the controversial way in which members of President Barack Obama’s administration have apparently tried to intimidate whistleblowers in the government and the journalists that would investigate their stories. Tapper said that some, including the New York Times editorial board, have described the administration’s actions as “threatening fundamental freedoms of the press.” He warned Obama’s supporters to remember the precedent his administration is setting when a Republican next occupies the Oval Office. Tapper noted that the scandal surrounding the subpoenaing of Fox News reporter James Rosen’s personal telephone and email

The gesture of transparency by U.S. District Judge Royce C.

In some other universe this would be shocking. In this universe it’s par for the course, and I don’t mean the golf course, but the guy who makes the golf course his second home. The US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ronald C. Machen – the man responsible for the aggressive surveillance and phone record scrutiny at Fox News – is also a big donor to the Obama Campaigns. At the time of his appointment, the Washington Post wrote a profile on Machen including this tidbit: Over the years, he has donated $4,350 to Obama’s campaigns.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

There’s really no reason for the press to suggest that the recent slew of scandals involving the Obama administration — Benghazi, the AP phone-record seizure, the snooping in James Rosen’s e-mail, the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups, and so on — are a confusing jumble. There is a very clear thread running through all of the administration’s actions: The U.S. deputy chief of mission in Libya, Gregory Hicks, says that he was told not to speak to a member of Congress about Benghazi without a State Department lawyer present, that he received a phone call from Hillary Clinton’s
