Politico, and our Beloved Leader, both refer to Robert Hurt, who is challenging Tom Perriello for the Congressional seat in the Virginia 5th, as a moderate Republican.
As a resident of the 5th, and someone who has really, REALLY, gotten on the wrong mailing list, I have been receiving loads of glossy mailers from the Hurt campaign.
Yesterday's rib tickler lead with a promise to, "Keep Obama from taking your homes and businesses".
Today Mr. Hurt promises to "Protect our jobs from illegal aliens". It should be noted, for the record, we have no jobs to take...
Politico reports that in Virginia's 5th Congressional District Tea Party activist Jeffrey Clark will run as an independent if moderate Republican Robert Hurt wins his party's nomination to take on Tom Perriello.
Let's be very clear about this "Q" look alike. This guy wants to strip the Federal Government down to defense and diplomacy, eliminate the deficit right now, prohibit abortion, and reinstall the values of the 1760's.
Politico may well think he is a moderate. And, given the general level of lunacy exhibited by the Republican Party, he may be a bit less retrograde than the Tea Party Candidate. But this in no moderate. And we do ourselves a disservice when we imply that if you just can't bring yourself to vote for a Democrat, this may be an acceptable alternative.
This is one of the Crazy Guys.
Let's be sure we keep him in that category, and not give him a pass.
Support Tom Perriellio for Congress.
Donate to keep the Virginia 5th a Democratic seat.
