So, he's saying that:

a.)They (the Republicans) now admit that they screwed up (royally) before when they were in the majority.
b.)Their path to salvation was found in the example of Bob McDonnell's decision to CUT state services to balance the budget (which is likely to end up on the backs of people less affluent and/or privileged)- leaving aside the fact that budget was balanced as a result of the much maligned and lied about stimulus plan that all but three Republicans in the House and the Senate voted AGAINST. :banghead:

My big question to Cantor is, if they realized that they screwed up majorly when they were last in power and now realize the error of their ways, WHY are they not trying to be more "bipartisan" and working with the Democrats and President Obama to solve important national issues? Why isn't Cantor and/or other Republicans calling for their Senate brethren to stop preventing everything from coming up for a vote? All I hear from them is about starting baseless investigations of President Obama, eliminating something called "Obamacare", shutting down government, and cutting spending (while simultaneously being vague and non-specific about WHAT to cut other than "earmarks"). Pretty much continuing to be nothing more than a "Party of NO"!
