Eric Cantor argues that the GOP has reformed itself

Eric Cantor responds to the DCCC calls to step in line behind the Boss. Excerpt:

Perhaps the GOP of 2005 would have taken the bait and swallowed the administration’s bad medicine. After all, Republicans during that period were guilty of spending too much and growing government too much, both of which would become hallmarks of the February 2009 stimulus plan and the loaded agenda that would follow. That GOP became a bloated, go-along to get-along body that forgot how to lead. We blew it, and we were rightfully fired by our bosses – the American people.

After this admission of guilt, he goes on with the evidence for a "not so fast" argument. It's a good read; Cantor is a great communicator and hopefully will be a great future leader. And of course, we hope he's right about the party.
