Young is a RINO’s RINO and should NOT be elected to the House of Representatives. Republicans will be INCREASING their representation in the House from this year’s election. The NEW Republican House caucus that takes office in January 2015 will have a larger percentage of constitutional conservatives and a smaller percentage of RINOs. Young is not needed in Congress where his only mission will be to help tamp down the conservative caucus.

He’s one on only a small handful of Republican candidates where I would recommend voting for his opponent—solely to keep his duplicitous butt out of the Republican caucus.

The GOP really botched this district. Young, a former staffer for Sen. Grassley, started out in the Senate primary and was an early flop. The Democrats early settled on a lunatic candidate, even by their low standards, for this GOP seat in which the incumbent was retiring. Young switched his name to the already crowded field of what was expected to be an easy GOP win. I never understood the dynamics, but apparently all the contenders and their voters before Young entered the race hated each other. Iowa law requires a 50% majority, with primary races failing that going to conventions rather than run-offs. The vote was split too much for a majority with Young ending up 3rd or 4th. But at the convention votes shifted to the alternative they didn’t hate and the dull RINO slipped in. Maybe the Rat is so bad he’ll slip through again, but if he does credit Brandstad and Grassley for dragging him across the line. He’s run a lousy race.
