Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

Republican Rep. Eric Cantor is whining again.

MSNBC.com:

...Cantor said, "Health care in this building has made it so that it seems we can't get anything else done. We have burning issues out there in this country. First and foremost, Americans want to see job security return; they want to see economic security return. Somehow, they are unable to deliver on that because of the intransigence on the majority's part on even discussing on ways for us to agree on health care...."

What would Cantor have elected officials do? It has been very obvious that Cantor, Boehner, and the rest of the GOP refuse to move ahead on anything except to add "NO!" to nearly every single bill that comes up for a vote. Cantor and Boehner might be bored with talk about health care reform and the public option because they already enjoy health insurance. Their selfish attitude is evident in their lack of compassion for those who are going without insurance or medical attention.
