Nonsense. Eric Cantor is a superb legislator. His agenda is to get America to fail. Part of a program to get Obama to fail. He has successfully (some suggest single handedly) lead the Congress into doing more nothing than any Congress in recent history. He has successfully subverted every effort to even have a Federal budget. That is an example of an effective legislator. Words such as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ have no place in 'effective'. Hitler was also an 'effective' leader.
