Last year House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) announced the formation of the National Council for a New America, which he described as a group that would:
... engage with and empower the American people to develop innovative solutions that meet the serious challenges confronting our country. It is the right time to begin a thoughtful conversation about the future of this country.
And after a year of watching Republicans do anything but offer solutions or engage in thoughtful debate, the group has been "suspended" because, believe it or not, Democrats were mean to them:
Cantor aides explained that the group has been “suspended” one year after its splashy launch in part because of the intense negative attention it received from the Democratic campaign committees and other groups after its introduction. [...]
Cantor spokesman John Murray said despite 5,000 positive news hits, the “relentless attacks from the left” became overwhelming to the whip office soon after its launch.
Of course the reality is, Cantor's group wasn't relentlessly attacked by the left, it was mocked ... who could resist when a group of party leaders called themselves a "grassroots caucus," and held their first (and only) "outside the beltway" listening tour inside the beltway?
As for the attacks, well, those came from the likes of Tony Perkins, Mike Huckabee, and Rush Limbaugh himself ... at which point, the "grassroots caucus" folded their tent and went home, because as everyone knows, Rush rules their world. On the bright side, they didn't have far to go.
