Why Do We Critize Our Own Party

I have heard from one to many that this one in our party is not conservative enough!  Ugh, there is nothing that makes me sicker than to hear this about one of our party faithfuls.  Do we honestly believe the democrats sit around the table thinking which one of the people they can point the finger to and say they aren't liberal enough.

Today the one I heard it about is Eric Cantor.  One of our up and coming leaders.  Mr. Cantor has do nothing I can see that would lead anyone to believe that he is nothing but a strong republican and working to get our country back on track.

i have recently received an email from Mr. Cantor asking how do we lead American forward?  He is pointing out there are two directions we can take in the November midterm election.  We can continue down the path of the Obama/Pelosi/Reid agenda.  The answer to our problems is not bigger government, higher taxes and freedom slipping through our hands.

Mr. Cantor is working hard with those that will stand with him in Congress to show the country there is a better way.  We need to "reject Washington's chief role of running people's lives."  Republicans are wanting to turn back spending to 2008 levels, he is encouraging his colleagues to not solicit or accept earmarks and wants to see them banned.

Eric Cantor says he does not want to see us reject our values, but wants us to embrace them.  Hard work should be rewarded not punished.  "We need to encourage entrepreneurship, not deter it by penalizing success."

We do not as republicans have an easy road for the next several years getting our country back on track, but one thing I know we need to do is find more like Eric Cantor.  He is what I am looking for in leadership for my state and my country.
