Perriello's "actual record" is his vote for HR6080, a bill he mentioned in passing at the Senior Statesmen forum without having been asked about it. But immigration isn't a huge issue in the 5th District, so it's not surprising he hasn't said much on it. If you do want to know more, you only have to go to his website. I agree that McNeill's use of the word “conservative” while not using the word “liberal” betrays his point of view, whether consciously or not, and distorts the view of the candidates for uncritical readers. But given your own inability to show Perriello any grace, to ever give him the benefit of the doubt, it's ironic to hear that criticism from you, as if you could write news stories without your own views showing. "Food for the mind" or empty calories for conservatives? And, what is “Timid Tom’s” actual record on illegal immigration-related issues.

“Food for the mind” or empty calories for conservatives?
