Jim McKelvey and Feda Morton Respond to Perriello Attack Ad UPDATE: Mike McPadden Responds

Last night I wrote about the Perriello campaign’s telling embrace of independent challenger Jeff Clark. Since then, the campaign launched a new attack ad alleging that state Sen. Robert Hurt is not a true conservative and, in fact, lacks the support of the 5th District’s conservative leaders, like his primary challengers Jim McKelvey and Feda Kidd Morton. This image is reinforced by the use of video clips from a Republican debate, held in April. Both McKelvey and Morton endorsed Sen. Hurt after the contentious primary concluded, potentially making this attack ad confusing. Tonight, both former candidates issued statements condemning the discord the ad attempts to create within the conservative movement and reiterating their strong support for Sen. Hurt’s candidacy.

From Jim McKelvey’s “Take Our Country Back” PAC:

I am quite frankly appalled at Tom Perriello’s recent desperate attempts to split the Republican Party, and his vain attempt to get conservatives in the 5th District not to vote for Robert Hurt. Unlike what Tom Perriello would like us to believe in both his goofy mailers and ridiculous television ads, Jeff Clark is not the alternative, and Congressman Perriello is no conservative.

Robert Hurt and I may have had some differences in the past, but we are both focused on the same goal for our country’s future.

Because of Mr. Perriello’s repeated falsehoods, and misuse of my name as “justification” to assert them, I am consulting with legal counsel, and I am seriously considering making a formal complaint against Mr. Perriello for his distortions and potential violations of Federal Election Laws to the Federal Election Commission.

Congressman Perriello is making every effort to pull the wool over our eyes by trying to convince people Clark is a serious candidate really working to win a congressional seat. That is just not true. Clark has said from
the beginning that he would rather have Perriello in office for two more years than Hurt. What disturbs me the most is the fact that Jeff Clark is allowing himself to be used as a pawn for the liberal left, and has done nothing to refute Tom Perriello’s efforts on his behalf. Mr. Clark, that’s not being a true conservative, to allow
yourself to be used in such a way. …But let me be absolutely clear here, a vote for Jeff Clark is nothing short of a vote for Tom Perriello, Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

It is time to “Take Our County Back” from politicians like Perriello, Pelosi, and Obama. We can start “tying Perriello’s hands so he will stop stealing from us” on November 2nd when we vote for Robert Hurt. Our country is depending on us here in the 5th District.

From Feda Kidd Morton:

A week away from the most important election in the history of our nation, liberal Democrat incumbent Tom Perriello is doing his lying best to deceive the conservative voters of the 5th District that Feda Morton a staunch, pro-life, pro-family conservative and other Republican primary candidates are not supporting Robert Hurt the Republican nominee for Congress. Let me make it profoundly clear that I, Feda Kidd Morton, have supported Robert Hurt since he won the Republican primary and nomination on June 8, 2010. It is extremely important to understand that the first and maybe most important vote that a Congressman makes is for the Speaker of the House. We must have the Republican votes needed to fire Nancy Pelosi and take over the House. Secondly, redistricting will occur in January and February of 2011. We must have a Republican Congressman in office to be able to keep the 5th Conservative or risk it being gerrymandered away to the liberals by Tom Perriello.

Hurt has a 100% pro-life voting record in the Virginia General Assembly, he strongly supports our Second Amendment rights enjoying an A rating from the NRA, and an A voting record for family values with the Family Foundation of Virginia.

As we see here and across the country the Democrats are desperate to win and are stooping to any levels to achieve that goal. These video clips were taken from a primary debate back in April of 2010. Tom Perriello lied to us about his vote on ObamaCare, he lied to us about Cap and Tax, he lied about not supporting abortion in the healthcare bill and he is lying now as he once again misleads voters with this ad and half truths. The America we know and love can’t survive with the liberal leadership of Perriello, Pelosi and Obama. Vote Robert Hurt on November 2nd and begin the process to “Take back Our America.”

A statement is forthcoming from Sen. Hurt’s third primary opponent featured in the ad, Mike McPadden.

UPDATE: A Statement by Mike McPadden:

Tom Perriello’s most recent negative campaign ad is another shameful attempt by the Perriello Campaign to avoid talking about his record in Congress. It is sad that Mister Perriello’s record as our Congressman is so poor that he has to stoop to these levels in his desperate attempt to hold on to the fifth district seat. To portray Robert Hurt as anything but a staunch Conservative is ridiculous and disingenuous. I am fully confident that the people of the fifth district who believe that they are better able to run their own lives, not government, who believe that lower taxes and less government regulation will spur job growth, and who understand that it is the private sector economy that creates jobs and not government, will go to the polls next Tuesday and vote for Robert Hurt. I would also like to remind our Congressman that if his political mentors had been men like John Kennedy and Ronald Reagan instead of Hugo Chavez and Nancy Pelosi he might not now be in the position of having to spread lies and half truths about his opponent in this race.
