Tea Party candidate Jeff Clark rips into Robert Hurt for being a typical politician and for refusing to let Clark into the debates with Tom Perriello. According to Clark, Hurt is “just what I thought he was going to be.” Another great quote by Clark: “Robert Hurt is no Virgil Goode, and Robert Hurt is not going to be able to stay one-on-one with Tom Perriello.” And, “The only thing [Hurt’s] supporters have is fear…they have to instill fear into everyone in order to get them to overlook the sad record and the despicable conduct of Senator Hurt.” And finally: “If Senator Hurt doesn’t want to participate in the debates, I’m sure I will fill in adequately for the conservative message…but I would welcome [him] to sit in the audience, he may learn a thing or two about conservatism.” Hahahaha.
