Does Rep. Connolly (D-VA) Support the President's Budget?

[utah1847]

If you watch the video of Chaffetz, he was the one that had the time (very

short amount of time). Jason was on the floor speaking, and asked a question to

another rep, a gentleman from Virgina, and he didn't want to respond, and

finally when Jason was about out of time, they did cut Chaffetz off. Congressman

Chaffetz tried several times to get his time back and finally gave it up.

Rep. Chaffetz was asking a Harvard Grad, very experienced in government generally, a question about the budget.

A Politico report on a GOP dirty-tricks squad makes Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz look like a complete tool of Minority Whip Eric Cantor.

Cantor's newest partisan strategy is to put together embarrassing YouTube clips of vulnerable Democratic freshmen to undercut their re-election chances. Cantors aides send e-mails to Chaffetz and other members of this elite "attack team" when targeted Democrats are speaking on the floor.

[mtbikeut]

Really Jason Chaffetz, is this how they teach that politics should be conducted at BYU? Yet again, Mormons are showing that ambush and attack are the LDS churches strategy to force their position.

[IgnoranceIsNotBliss]

Grand Obstructionist Party. Seriously, the repugs need to grow up and do what is right for their COUNTRY and not their PARTY.

These petty, bullish, childish stunts aren't going to get us anywhere.

Grow up Cantor. It's not all that bad out here in adult land. You should try it some time.

[BfndrGnrl]

Wow Cantor, you're a dick. Seriously, scripted ambushes on house newbies? How about you do something useful and go take a second pass at that terrible budget of yours instead?

[Dysnomia303]

I wonder if Rep. Chaffetz knows the proposed Republican alternate budget doesn't begin paying down our debt until 2075.

[dupasmacks]

Incredible douchebag.

[BigSnipp]

More Republican obstructionism. Seriously, you guys need to grow up. The party of NO strikes again.

[IcyKitty]

Shame on cantor

[darke812]

LMAO! So no one watches this thing until AFTER Olbermann shows it on TV. You are an idiot Cantor and showing everyone once again just how stupid you truly are. Amazing that you actually think this would work. But what do you expect. Nothing else you have done has worked. Maybe you should just curl up in a corner and collect your paycheck and let those with some intelligence get some work done.

[LPenado14]

Republican representatives douche bags:

Thank you for keeping the progressives in this country alert and aware of how much you hate Americans.

Guess what, scumbags, the whole world is watching and you should enjoy the few months left till November 2010.

After that it'll be harder to pay with taxpayers money for prostitutes, to lure children for molestation purposes, and to keep your wives from crowning you the cuckolds you are.

Bastards.

[lemonycheese]

Obama's ass called, your nose is missing.

[LPenado14]

So you are a moron who play sophomoric games.

Is any of these repugnant republicans doing your wife, or you?

[lemonycheese]

Good thing I'm only 17, or else I'd go be really nervous that I'm being cheated on.

Oh well.

[lemonycheese]

Lol, the argument against Republican vouchers isn't that it creates a lower standard of education, it's that it's prejudiced and unfair.

I'd much rather go to a Catholic Private School, but our family can't afford it, so I go to a publicly funded one. There's tons of school in my district that are better (mine's mostly a math magnet school) but I'm not allowed to attend them because Democrats see that as unfair.

[lemonycheese]

I don't get straight A's. I fight for my B's in AP level courses, stuff getting me college credits so my family doesn't have to pay for 4 full years.

Those aren't talking points. Those are my opinions.

I'm politically active in my free time, does that make me a lazy bloodsucker?

Your generalizations are pathetic.

[teagarden8650]

Palin 2012!!

[averyj]

I'm sorry, I forgot that Eric Cantor thought he had a future in politics. Oh well. One star this vid, and thumbs up this comment if you agree.

[ggoddu2]

Shame on you Congressman Cantor! What a slimeball tactic.

[jsparky321]

Answer the question bitch.

[tripwire11235]

I love the back chatter from Connolly "I don't have to respond..." Classic.

[tripwire11235]

Chaffetz is Cantor's new little buttboy. Instead of asking questions about the topic currently on debate, they waste legislative time and grandstand.

[dackmont]

And this is supposed to be flattering somehow to the GOP?

Go to 1:15 and see GOP Rep. Chaffetz try to cut off Democratic Rep. Connolly. See how flustered Chaffetz gets when it doesn't work out. "HOW MANY TIMES DO I....?" Not so fun when the tables are turned, is it?

Voters know the difference between intelligent debate (an area where Pres. Obama continues to lead by example) and sneering, childish soundbite tactics. With Cantor so eager to use the latter, no wonder the GOP keeps losing.
