Nearly two months ago I wrote a piece chastising our very own Representative Seifert for spending more time creating a silly "liberal dictionary" than he does working together to get things accomplished. Well, it appears the wasting taxpayer time has extended to the Republicans in Congress. Representative Eric Cantor has this really fun video for us:



Unfortunately, he is much better at choosing music and sports related clips than he is at understanding facts or interpreting statistics.

Congressional Approval Rating: If we are to believe Cantor, there are no Republicans in Congress and that this all Democratic Congress has an 11% approval rating. Somebody really ought to tell Mr. Cantor that he is a part of Congress and that the public disapproves as much of him as they do of the rest of the Democratic and Republican representatives. Actually, the public disapproves MORE of Mr. Cantor and his friends in Congress than they do of the Democrats.

Tax Return Delays: It is quite amusing when the party of personal responsibility absolves themselves of all responsibility for delaying and holding up the process.

No AMT Tax Relief: Mr. Cantor, you know this to be false as you yourself voted NO on HR 3996 that provided AMT relief. Simply because you do not like the method in which Democrats provide such relief does not mean that it did not happen.

No Action on Health Care: This is a ludicrous statement as we all remember the SCHIP bill which you and your party chose to kill.

The Mortgage Crisis: Oops, wrong again! Do you not remember voting on these measures Mr. Cantor? Again, just because you disagree with the method by which it has been addressed does not mean there has been no action. Perhaps you were too busy making this video!

Perhaps the people of the 7th District in Virginia should be asking why you spend more time creating funny youtube videos than you do trying to work with the Democrats to solve what are obviously important issues to you?

h/t to Gary Gross on this one!
