Episode 1: "Perriello Pledge"

Virginia Congressman Tom Perriello (D-5th) is challenged by a constituent to sign onto the same government-run health care plan as the rest of us, and give up his"pretty darn good plan." He says a lot, commits very little, and infuriates the audience of over 300 people in Greene County, Virginia.

This is a perfect example of what we citizens need to be doing, and of how they (our so-called representatives) are evading the question.

So let me get this straight Perriellois is saying the reason gov has to fix our health care system is because government is currently paying for a bunch of socialized medicine for the illegal and the poor and the elderly and the handy capped so in order to fix that the government needs to socialize everyones health care!?! That is such twisted thinking the only way to fix it is to stop the current socialized health care!

They are destroying our country by design

I live just a few miles from the 5th district so I can't vote Perriello out. But just like Obama, I knew this guy would be a disaster for southwestern Va. He's nothing but a rubber stamp Pelosi Democrat.

Come on, 5th district voters. Get rid of this New York sack of shit.

@potatoluver63 Agreed. This bastard doesn't deserve any health care.

Although Obama is the worse President we ever had in pushing Marxism down our throat, he is certainly not the first as this problem been going on for decades.

We have to fire all incumbents in 2010 to start addressing the problem

[balrao]

this is the first time i have ever seen a representative given chance to response.

Same response in bedford..."your missing the point you stupid people" is what he was really saying. ANSWER THE QUESTION is all we are saying! He won't. This isn't about choice. It is a communist style plan where just like the Party members in Communist Russia had the best of everything so will the politicians here in the USA.

Typical lying slick politician. Perriello's expression towards the end of this video was priceless.
