I am still teetering b/t two candidates. Neither one is Robert Hurt. I love the spin that has been wound to try and make everyone FEEL GOOD about voting for Hurt, but eventually the spin unravels and in this case, you are left with empty promises/pledges. The same excuses he uses now to explain his expansion of government votes, are the same ones he will if/when he gets to DC.

Here is a link to the Al Gore like move, Radio stations have tight budgets and no room for error. The big “could be a violation” could is a costly and threatening word. On the other hand Robert Hurt is defending Slick Willy, Bill Clinton, hmmm? Check out the full article:

Anyone who looks at Hurt’s record as a whole can see that he supports gun rights, is pro-life, and has voted against taxes way more than 4 times. Unless you are willing to do whatever you have to do to keep liberals like Perriello out of Congress (even if the Republican nominee is not quite as Conservative as Ron Paul), don’t call yourself a patriot.

Kelley as you know im a McPadden supporter but if ANY of the other candidates win the primary I will work hard for them EXCEPT Hurt if he wins I will be in the Clark camp or just not vote at all.Hurt is not a true conservative and im damn tired of voting for the lesser of two evils.

True. The way I read it, considering the date and in particular the reference to HB 3202, it looks like the press release is more targeted toward disenchanted Republicans- voters they know won’t vote for Tom Perriello, but they are counting on to stay home and not vote at all (or vote third party).

As you mention in the beginning, there’s a big difference between increasing the fee paid by someone convicted of a traffic offense, and voting for the several hundred billion in new taxes included in the healthcare bill.

The press release mentions some thirty fees, but all together only 3 bills. The way I see it, 4 total votes out of 3,000 is not too shabby.

So,

I wonder why they chose to send out a press release on June 4th, instead of, say, June 9th? Could the DCCC be trying to influence primary voters?
