Republican Eric Cantor Grilled on Squawk Box

   We were shocked to see the Squawk Box interview of Eric Cantor by Becky Quick and Joe Kiernan.

   Kiernan is considered by many to be an extreme right wing conservative, but this mornings grilling of Congressman Eric Cantor showed that he, too, is sick of the Republican's right wing anti-gay, anti-women's rights agena.

   Kiernan continued to press Cantor on the fact that the Republican Party could gain support from gays who are in the financial world if only they would keep religion from entering the discussion.

  Cantor would say that this is a diverse country and we who believe that this is a religious issue feel strongly that this is our right.

   Becky Quick stated that gays have rights too, and that one persons religious beliefs should not prevent others from enjoying their American rights.

   Cantor would not bend on the issue, however, and thus, the Republicans will continue to lose support, as more leave the party to register NPP, to escape the religious right, who is in control.
