| House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) says he was told in late October about allegations that then-CIA Director David Petraeus was having an extramarital affair. The GOP lawmaker said his office was notified about the charges from an FBI employee, who raised questions about a possible security breach, according to a report from the New York Times published Saturday. “I was contacted by an F.B.I. employee concerned that sensitive, classified information may have been compromised and made certain [FBI] Director [Robert] Mueller was aware of these serious allegations and the potential risk to our national security,”

and the little moron couldn´t leak this PRIOR to the election?
Him and Boener must GO or it is third party.
More of US than there is of them. Let the GOP establishment split their vote with the DEMS and let true AMERICANS galvanize together for a take "America back 3rd party" starring Allen West, Sarah Palin, Paul Ryan, Jim DeMint, Trey Gowdy and Michelle Bachman.

Petraeus has done the only honorable thing he could do in this mess, tell zero´s thugs to shove the blackmail threat if he doesn´t take the fall for zero, admit the truth, resign, and now....sing like a bird at the hearings.

And anyone who thinks Mueller didn´t tell Obama immediately that a scandal was about to surface that could blow up in his face just before the election is an ostrich, or a member of the MSM!

#1, leaking is not always the right thing to do. Cantor had no way of knowing if his conversation was truth, a trick, or what. He notified the FBI. You would have had him call the NYTimes?
BTW, Cantor is no "moron". And, there won´t be a third party soon enough to be effective, particularly with some of the names you included.

Cantor was not forceful enough in the cheerleading part that involves elections. Pelosi, et al had all the MSM paying attention to her pressers no matter how inane they turned out to be. Cantor and Boener and McConnell should have been on those Capitol Hill steps every other day with the dirt this administration has been perpetrating right in front of our faces and the ones happening out of earshot of the American people. As a social conservative right winger, I will NOT take the blame for the ineptitude of the GOP and BTW Priebus too, who didn´t get out the ground game whatsoever. The spokespeople for our side were Dick Morris and Karl Rove for God sake and heaven help us. Never said the post mortem was pretty , but it is truthful!!

#1 I love the people you mentioned but "bigger conservatives" than you have said "no 3rd Party" - Limbaugh & Levin. Republicans much teach America & "old" GOP what it is all about - Founding Father principles,military strength,spiritual history of America & why our nation is under discipline. Look at nations who are failing & what their principles & actions show in the past & present. It is very easy to see & understand if explained so that dumb sheeple can hear it. Explain late term abortions,inner city trash,teen age degeneracy,city crime,child abuse - these are things most sheeple don´t even know exist. It´s disgraceful but should be shown all over this country. America is not beautiful anymore.

Nancy Reagan is ´heartbroken´ over the death of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, a close friend and kindred political spirit of her late husband, but is too frail to attend her funeral.

Welcome to a brave new "national conversation" that proposes not simply to redefine the family, but to eliminate it. MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry recently shocked millions with her brazen TV promo spot urging us to get rid of the idea that kids belong to their parents or to "private" families. She presses us to replace it with a "collective" notion of children: "Kids belong to whole communities." Clearly, we are entering a new phase in family breakdown. In the earlier phases, leftist policies cultivated unrestrained sexual license, abortion and single parenting.

Some Republicans still cling to the hope that they´ll be able to repeal Obamacare someday, but a report released Wednesday by Families USA shows why it may be even harder for them to do so after Jan. 1. The report estimates that nearly 3 million Californians could be eligible for generous insurance subsidies under the 2010 healthcare reform law, starting next year. Anyone with an income between one and four times the federal poverty line -- in other words, between $23,550 and $94,200 for a family of four -- could receive a tax credit that reduces monthly premiums dramatically.

The governor will feel at home with the Huffington Post founder´s other guests: New Jersey natives Jon Bon Jovi of Sayreville and Shaquille O´Neal of Newark, according to Women´s Wear Daily, which first reported the invites. Shaq recently visited Christie at the Statehouse in Trenton.

NORFOLK, Va.— A top general says federal budget cuts that will ground one-third of the U.S. Air Force´s active-duty force of combat planes including fighters and bombers means "accepting the risk that combat airpower may not be ready to respond immediately to new contingencies as they occur."Gen. Mike Hostage, commander of Air Combat Command at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia, issued the warning Tuesday as the Pentagon braces for more effects of the automatic spending cuts triggered by the lack of a budget agreement in Washington.

I don´t mean in a Nazis vs Communists, Hitler vs Stalin, way. I mean in a moderate way: Conservative activists vs Labour activists, you might say. It´s difficult to imagine Conservative activists behaving like the people who celebrated Margaret Thatcher´s death in Glasgow and Brixton. That´s partly because it´s hard to think of any Left-wing leader who had as powerful an effect on the country as she did. But, still, between them, Harold Wilson and Jim Callaghan – with quite a lot of help from Edward Heath – led to a disastrous decline in British fortunes in the 1970s,

Decrying the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as way too complex, he warned the acting Medicare director that Obamacare is "so complicated and if it isn´t done right the first time, it will just simply get worse."

Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes.

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.
