Perriello sides with Pelosi, not his district
Published: November 14, 2009
Thirty-nine Democrats in the House of Representatives voted against the massive Medicare-cutting, tax-increasing, income-redistributing scheme known as health care reform, but our congressman, Tom Perriello, was not among them.
Rather than representing the views of 5th District voters in Washington, Perriello’s vote reveals that his fealty is not to his constituents but to a different sovereign, Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party. He has chosen to be their ambassador to us rather than what we elected him to be, our representative to them.
Fortunately, in about a year we can make other arrangements. By then many of his jilted voters will have worked hard to ensure that Ambassador Perriello will have become former Ambassador Perriello.
