House Minority Whip Eric Cantor has been a very vocal opponent of the recently passed health care reform – the very policy that has lead to reports of threats towards Democratic members of congress and increased security. Well it appears that at least the threat of violence is now bipartisan, as Cantor just revealed during a press conference that, last night a bullet was shot through the window of his Richmond, Virginia office.

Since their inception the Teaparty crowd (not a movement since they do have the numbers or clout) have been “haters not debaters”. In my opinion this is what the small portions of the republican party of “birthers, baggers and blowhards” have brought you. They are good at “Follow the Leader” of their dullard leaders, they listen to Beck, Hedgecock, Hannity, O’Reilly, Rush and Savage and the rest of the Blowhards. Are you surprise at what they do when you know what they think? The world is complicated and most republicans (Hamiliton, Lincoln, Roosevelt) believe that we should use government a little to increase social mobility, now its about dancing around the claim of government is the problem. The sainted Reagan passed the biggest tax increase in American history and as a result federal employment increased, but facts are lost when mired in mysticism and superstition. Although some republicans are trying to distant themselves from this fringe most of them are just going along and fanning the flames.
*laughs* Look who's laughing now dimwit! I live in Montana too and I promise you we celebrated when the Dems got their comeuppance! The Tea Party cleaned House!!
