Eric Cantor will withhold federal disaster funding to states impacted by Hurricane Irene unless Democrats agree to spending cuts.

From Business Insider:

A spokesperson for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) said that if there is any damage caused by Hurricane Irene requiring federal disaster funding, the money would have to be balanced out by spending cuts elsewhere in government. 

"We aren't going to speculate on damage before it happens, period," his spokesperson Laena Fallon told TalkingPointsMemo. "But, as you know, Eric has consistently said that additional funds for federal disaster relief ought to be offset with spending cuts." 

Already states from North Carolina to New York have declared states of emergency in preparation for the storm.

You know I wish Eric Cantor were MY Congressman.  So I could punch him right in the ball sack!

What kind of cowardly piece of bull feces holds victims of a disaster hostage so that he can earn a couple of political points with the tiny minority of Teabaggers currently holding the GOP hostage?

Oh yeah, THIS cowardly piece of bull feces.

I certainly hope the people of Virginia keep this incident in mind the next time Snidely Whiplash here is up for reelection.

By the way if you are from Virginia, forget about punching Cantor in the scrotum. He would have to actually have balls for you to punch him IN them.

    I've been paying attention to where Irene is moving through his District. It appears his District has recieved some of the high winds and rain. I'm going to assume there may be some major damage in his District. If there is, it'll be interesting to see if he holds to his "spending cuts" or goes and hide someplace where there are no reporters.

    I'm convinced the Tuesday quake centered in Mineral, VA (Cantor's district) was simply Mother Nature trying to shake this creep off the face of the earth. Or to shake the little turd off her butt. Would Li'l Eric deny Big Gubmint assistance to his buddies in Bagger territory should they ever need it?

  15. I live in his district. I saw him at the Richmond airport refraining from a confrontation.

    I thought my house was going to collapse when the quake hit 40 miles from the epicenter.

    I wonder if Cantor will with hold restoration of electricity, power lines, transformers that blew up in my neighbor's yard until we bend over to his wishes?

    I lost cable, then power around 3:30 pm.
    The hospital I work at is on generator.

    "But, as you know, Eric has consistently said that additional funds for federal disaster relief ought to be offset with spending cuts."

    When the Joplin tornado killed 159 and caused $Billions in damage Cantor had the same things to say.

    House Majority Leader Eric Cantor caused quite a stir Monday with a stunningly heartless statement that any help for Joplin would have to be offset by cuts elsewhere in federal spending. Mind you, Cantor didn’t simply refrain from waiting until the search for missing people was over to say this: His cruelty came less than 24 hours after the tragedy, at a point when rescue workers were just beginning to search the rubble for survivors.

    This evoked some pretty colorful responses.

    Traditionally, the immediate aftermath of tragedies are politics-free zones, but Cantor’s commitment to his anti-spending dogma outweighed any concern there might be for the messy little details of the carnage and suffering a thousand miles from his district.

    What these zealots have in mind for the nation was made perfectly clear by Ron Paul just this week. He was speaking about Hurricane Irene.

    Taking his anti-government ideology to its logical extreme, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) told NBC News’ Jo Ling Kent today that there should be no national response to Hurricane Irene, and that government responses should revert back to how they were over 100 years ago. “We should be like 1900, we should be like 1940 1950 1960,” he said. “I live on the gulf coast, we deal with hurricanes all the time.” Of course, the Gulf Coast sometimes deals with them less well thanks to a botched national response. Paul, who has called for abolishing FEMA, dismissed the organization because it is “a great contribution to deficit financing.”

    They don't just risk their lives, they are at work during the disaster and not at home protecting their families and property. It is very stressful for them worrying what is happening at home, especially when the phones go out.

    One writer pegged it exactly: Fox Noise will 'report it' as though it were Obama, not Cantor, who was holding up the funding. Can't we all just hear it now?

    Does anyone else remember last year, when Cantor lied about a 'gunfire attack' on his Richmond office, claiming his life was at risk, and the Richmond police investigated and responded by saying, 'nuh-uh; didn't happen, it was a randomly-fired bullet.' At the time, Cantor had argued that democrats were "dangerously fanning the flames" of violence. Projection much?

    I've said essentially this same thing elsewhere today..

    Michele Bachmann thinks we should lower the minimum wage to remain competive with overseas labor. I think we should reset the salaries and benefits of our Congress people, and base it on her minimum wage formula. Republicans have taken it upon themselves to interfere with governance,they work a 3.5 day work week, are on 2 weeks than off. They are refusing to meet with constituents, putting them on watch lists for raising complaints, confiscating cameras, and camera phones, and best of all charging service fees for the privilege of face time. They have signed pledges of allegiance to powerful lobbies, Norquist and AlEC, outside of their oath of duty to the Constitution and their constituents. The lack of productivity of the 112th Congress is a matter of record, and its abysmal....and they continue to give the middle finger to America in their zealotry to interfere with governing and their obsessive desire to reclaim power, and drag America into a new system of government. Theocracy, oligarchy, fascism...whatever it is, it does not resemble Democracy. At @ $175,000 a year and benefits, I think they owe us not just an answer, but a refund.

    There are some non-negotiables in life. Assisting people in time of an emergency, i.e. TO SAVE LIVES/LIFE is of the UTMOST importance.

    These idiot Republicans supported Bush's two wars at the same time as cutting taxes for the wealthiest Americans. No new taxes to pay for war! That was their mantra; we'll do it on the cheap. That's how fiscally unsound they are. That's what caused our problems today and now they refuse to reinstate the tax level for those super-rich Americans (think Kardashian $10 million wedding) and they refuse to make corporations pay their share of the tax burden. We can't displease our tea bagging masters!

    At the same time people should suffer and die in natural disasters without any aid from the federal government. Well, I say let's eliminate any pension, benefit and salary from the Republicans in Congress. They have not earned it. Use that money to help offset costs of this latest natural disaster to the national government. It won't cover much but it will be symbolic. And Rand Paul is a jerk; all his whining about too much government - well he has benefitted from it for long enough. And remember Cantor's hysteria when a bullet went through the window of his office in Virginia. But never have any kind of gun control!

    By the way, complaints that Bill Keller's NYT column as the cause of Hurricane Irene's wrath in the northeast will be coming forth from these Republican nincompoops any minute now.

    Except that his whole point, and the point of this post, is that he will tie spending cuts to providing aid in dire/emergency situations.

    Spending cuts should not even be in a discussion of providing emergency aid.

    Spending cuts should not have one. single. thing. to do with providing aid in an emergency.

    Just as proposed spending cuts should not have had one. single. thing. to do with providing the funds to pay debts already incurred via spending authorized by Congress.

    He's not kind of a dick, he's a total dick. He knowingly made investments that would pay off in the event of a default and then did everything he could to ensure that a default would occur. For that alone, he should be fully investigated and in the meantime stripped of all committee positions.

    Gryphen: "What kind of cowardly piece of bull feces holds victims of a disaster hostage so that he can earn a couple of political points with the tiny minority of Teabaggers currently holding the GOP hostage?"

    Just about every Republican in office, at every level. Here in North Carolina, the Republican-dominated state legislator held unemployment checks hostage unless Governor Perdue agreed to their draconian budget. She didn't negotiate. Instead, she issued an executive order to send out the checks. Unfortunately, she's probably going to lose the next election because this state is turning red again. It makes me sick to my stomach. This state is full of struggling people, and they just don't seem to get that today's Republican not only doesn't care, they actually put all the blame on those that are struggling.

  67. It is pretty interesting watching Eric Cantor suck up to the Tea Party. The buzz is he wants to be Speaker. He is also Jewish.

    To be speaker he would need the Tea Partiers and the fundies to support him. If that happens, it will be interesting to hear what sort of rationalizations we get from the "Christian nation" crowd that they support a guy who rejects Jesus as lord.

    I guess I'll just let it go, but if you're playing games, please stop it.

    I agree with other posters that care about emergency services and the teams who are out in the storm trying to help restore power, get people to safety, etc. One of the deaths was a child who was in a car that was hit in the middle of an intersection because the power was out. I am just sick about that.

    So please 6:46, don't speak for me.

    Nefer quotes Ron Paul @ 5:29 am:

    "Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) told NBC News’ Jo Ling Kent today that there should be no national response to Hurricane Irene, and that government responses should revert back to how they were over 100 years ago. “We should be like 1900, we should be like 1940 1950 1960,” he said.


    and there you have it... people have said for years that ron paul wants to take the country back decades, and now he finally admits it. in this piece he specifies "government response to hurricanes," but his 'taking the country back decades' is a central theme in his policies that is not specific to any one issue.

    It WAS a mistake, I should have said I was poster 5:19, but I automatically (without scrolling up to read all the prior posts) assumed the poster who said "I'm from NC, too" was referring to me, because as I mentioned in my post, I'm in NC, as well. As are you, apparently. So there are three of us in NC who are disgusted with GOP policies, great! No need to get so touchy as I didn't say anything in my post that seemed much different from your own.

    Once again, Cantor has shown that he doesn't give a rat's butt about middle class Americans. He demands CUTS while he fiercely protects tax breaks for the very wealthiest and corporations. Hopefully this petty individual will be voted out when he comes up for re-election.

    Unfortunately, he's my congressperson. I can't stand him. When W was president, you can bet he didn't demand that this stuff had to be paid for. The Repubs were too busy making sure that Florida got all the emergency/disaster help they needed, to keep the Florida Republican voters happy.

    Anonymous @10:38. I think God is already doing his avenging on these pieces of crap only they think he is avenging the other side. All the disasters that are happening are God punishing people for all the money grubbing phoney Christian garbage they are pushing in Washington and throughout the country. I'm just waiting for Pat Robertson to be struck by lighting and a big booming female voice comes from the sky and says "Take that, you lying, scamming son of a bitch!, I'll show you who's in charge!"

    The Jewish supremacist pig Cantor is not unique for being a rich, rotten, racist, union-hating "fiscally conservative" Southern Jewish politician. Another that comes to mind was Henry Loeb, who was elected mayor of Memphis a few months before Martin Luther King was assassinated with the collusion of elements of Loeb's Memphis Police Department and the U.S. government, with an assist from organized crime.
