You are the one who don't get it.

How does it help the country to throw out a Republican and elect in his place a far out left wing Democrat.

Did you bother to find out who Dreier's opponent is?

These idiot DJ-s started a campaign against REPUBLICAN (Gasp!) David Dreier"

Still drinking the Kool-Aid (Republican flavour), I see.

Think of it as an object lesson. The GOP has artfully avoided the issue of illegal immigration. (We know where the Dems stand on it - they favor it). This tactic, if successful will send a wake up call to Republicans all across the country.

And to your question - it quite possibly drives the point home harder if the beneficiary of the political human sacrifice is antithetical to GOP philosophy.
