Let the good, honest, God fearing, well reasoned citizens of Virginia’s 5th district lead the way to take back our great country this November by defeating pitiful Tom Perriello and his like-minded comrades!

Perriello, we read, is “an obedient pup,” a corrupt, arrogant, hypocritical, incompetent, lying weasel (but all due respect to him! — we get along!) who votes whichever way Pelosi wants him to. But where is the evidence that he doesn’t honestly share her positions? The stimulus bill (that many conservative economists) supported “failed miserably both nationally and in Virginia.” But how do we know the economy would have rebounded without it? And how do we know economists who think it needed to be larger to succeed are wrong?

Contrary to Tom’s protestations, why else would the Obama administration risk political egg on its face by issuing an unnecessary a new regulation via Secretary Sebelius?

Never mind that “else” and “unnecessary” cancel each other out here. The point not acknowledged is that that the new regulation shows Obama is serious about keeping his promise not to federally fund abortions.

Tom said of himself and of Congress: “If you don’t tie our hands, we will keep stealing.”

Given that moments before he had called stealing a problem and referred to Congress as “they” instead of “we,” it’s clear he’s not admitting anything, but not really even talking about himself. It’s as if a law-abiding man in a family full of crooks had said, “our family has often had trouble with the law,” and you said, “see, he admits he’s a criminal.”

And his approval rating is not 11 percent, of course. He is not Congress, and neither is Pelosi, and the body that has received that rating as a whole includes many conservatives disliked by Democratic and Independent voters represented in that poll. Of course the writer must know this, but never mind, don’t let facts get in the way of a good excoriation.

But of course Thorpe’s mad, because — here’s the nutty part — conspiring liberals want not only to saddle their own kids with huge debt, but to seize “unlimited” power on behalf of government, annihilating personal liberty. Which is an unconscionable thing to do. Except when it restricts abortion.
