Okay, Tea Party People, if you were ever tempted to spike an election to make a point, this should be right up your alley. \u00a0Drop RINO Kinzinger to punish Cantor for subverting primaries.<\/em><\/p>\n

Let me start by saying that we are likely to gain seats in the House. \u00a0At any rate, with a 100+ margin, we are completely unlikely to lose control of the House, or even come close. \u00a0Nothing is guaranteed, and here is where we make a little risk decision: we cut loose the top five or so RINO representatives. \u00a0Let them fail. \u00a0And by “top”, I mean those whose existence involves GOP meddling or treachery. \u00a0Oh, and Hal Rogers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s a fascinating bit of strategery<\/a> for the 16th Congressional District of Illinois (IL-16), in which Cantor intervened to support a vanilla freshman against a conservative incumbent last time around. \u00a0It made all the headlines. \u00a0Well now it’s payback time, and since Cantor’s group “Young Guns Network” is now actively subverting the GOP primary<\/a> by sending out mailers asking Democrats to vote for the RINO, \u00a0this looks like a very good place to start.<\/p>\n
