In the house, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, standing arm in arm with House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyyer said “We don’t care if it offends a small sliver of our base. If something doesn’t makes sense or is going to cause partisan rancor where just not going to do it.”

“If the unions and the environmentalists don’t like it that’s just too bad,” said Hoyer. “It’s time we concentrated on the things that we and the American people can agree on and forget about the divisive issues for a while.
