A Commie named Mike Lux agrees with those of us on the right…Tom Perriello is a liberal. He sugar coats the truth and calls TP a “progressive” but we all know that is just more leftist code to hide their true intentions.
He wrote about our buddy Tom here:
1. VA-5. Tom Perriello vs. Robert Hurt. I put this at the top because I think it is symbolically the most important race of the year: can a Democrat who voted with progressives on virtually every major issue from this kind of southern conservative working-class district win in a year like this? The odds are long, and Tom is behind right now, but if anyone can do it, he can. Perriello is a great campaigner who has raised a ton of money, and his appeal to values-based economic populism is compelling. Because Tom has raised so much money, other candidates probably need your contributions more, although as tough as this race is, he can still use help. But if there is anything else you can do, including recruiting volunteers and signing up to make calls, please do so.
“his appeal to values-based economic populism is compelling” what is this guy even talking about?
I can’t believe the stuff that is out there on Periello and has been all along.
He is in tight with MoveOn.org., has the support of the Service Unions, and i can’t find any proof that he ever passed the VA bar. This is from his website Res Publica:
Before co-founding Res Publica, Tom served as Special Advisor to the Prosecutor of the Special Court for Sierra Leone, a United Nations tribunal, and as a Yale Law School/OSI Teaching Fellow in West Africa. He has worked for the US State Department, the International Centre for Transitional Justice and others on human rights and legal reform efforts in Afghanistan, Sudan, Kosovo, Argentina, Chile, India, and the United States. Prior to law school, he worked as Assistant Director of the Center for a Sustainable Economy (now part of Redefining Progress) and as a consultant on youth and environemental campaigns. elections. Tom is also a founder of the Catholic Alliance for the Common Good. He holds a BA in Humanities from Yale College and a J.D. from Yale Law School and is a member of the New York State Bar.
He’s a socialist, very very left wing. He has no business representing the constituents of VA 5. He needs to be back in the United Nations ngo, etc. The man has never held a real job that wasn’t paid for by foundations or group money.
We need to get him out asap. He needs to go back to NY or Sierra Leone.
Or he needs to go back to hell
