Eric Cantor given control of House

Eric Cantor given control of House in late night rule change by GOP.

And now we know why the GOP cannot get anything done in the House of Representatives; they are bickering over who’s in charge like children in the playground at recess.

However, the rule change pushed through in the dead of night without any oversight or debate instead put the authority to proceed into the hands of the majority leader in the house, Eric Cantor. This is the same Eric Cantor who is known for having gutted anti-corruption and bribery legislation. And now, he runs the show. Even House Speaker John Boehner can not bring it up to a vote.

This rule change was uncovered by Maryland Representative Chris Van Hollen, who brought it to the House Floor late last week, as you can see below.

This needs to stop. Our country’s welfare is at stake and these Republican Bozos in the House are playing power games.
