Not so fast guys. There could be more to this than meets the eye. First of all, you guys have already shown how important the accusation is before anything else. You’re ready to string the guy at the mere whiff of accusation. Now why is it important to get the accusation on the record. Well,it appears the accused guy is a conservative. Which means that he’s likely not a Cantor supporter.

Here’s something else reported today

Rep. Eric Cantor’s chief consultant, Ray Allen, has been telling people that he will essentially burn down the Republican Party of Virginia so that he and Cantor can assume control of its smoldering ruins. http://thebullelephant.com/cantor-consultant-threatens-break-republican-party-virginia/

That link was contained in a free republic post today here.

This freerepublic post tell how much of an amnesty advocate Cantor is.

The implication here is that Cantor’s people are burning down the republican party and not the local democrats. That the result will be that Cantor will stay in power and pass amnesty.

That was our point. The media comes after our side as if vague scented scandals matter. No amount of wrongdoing matters for the Dems, so we aren’t taking their bait. The media can take a flying leap.

“There’s nothing there,” Kenney told The Virginian-Pilot. “It’s a citizen complaint designed to embarrass a public official.”

Virginia GOP Chairman Pat Mullins hired Kenney at a time when the party is trying to navigate a nasty fight between establishment forces and grassroots activists influenced by the tea party. Those activists assumed control of the state GOP’s governing board two years ago, helping then-attorney general Ken Cuccinelli II win the nomination for governor. Cuccinelli’s defeat against Terry McAuliffe in November was interpreted by many in the GOP as a sign that the Republican nominee had taken his party too far to the right in rapidly changing Virginia.

Echoes of the conflict have played out in this year’s intraparty elections. Last weekend a longtime party official from the 7th Congressional District — who received the full-throated support of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) — was unseated by a tea party favorite.

I believe you may have read my post a little too quickly, as I was pointing out that the people complaining were guilty of the same thing.
