This clown was on Brad and Britt yesterday morning. I pity anyone that seriously considers voting for this guy. I wanted to call in and ask if he was going to personally go and help build the 700 mile fence to fuel his xenophobia. He repeated the same rehersed garbage over and over without actually answering a question. He totally appeals to the lowest common deonominator so of couse Randy loves him. 10/27/2006 7:49:50 AM |

All he talks about is homosexuals and Mexicans. I don't understand how someone so unbecoming of a politician manages to run that high profile of a campaign. Anybody who questions whether the republicans will have a poor showing this year needs to ask themselves why the Republicans couldn't come up with better.
He has no chance of winning over any moderates. He has no chance at the business republicans. He has no chance at the log cabin Republicans. Most of the people who support his ignorant positions would never vote for someone black. He raised ~85% of his money out of state. That should speak volumes about his support in the district he's running in (which he doesn't live in and he's previously ran for other districts). 10/27/2006 11:59:59 AM |

The thing about the Helms comparison, I don't think Helms sounded nearly as ignorant or xenophobic when you take into account the way things were when he said them. Also, Helms occassionally listened to reason, like when Bono convinced him that it was both good policy and righteous for the gov't to help fight HIV/AIDS. 10/27/2006 12:10:20 PM |

Miller said education, including his support of community colleges, is key to providing jobs.
Robinson countered by saying the problem is illegal immigration." |
Does this guy have any other lines? I seriously wonder where he gets his information from in this campaign. So much for him supporting personal responsibility.

Would it be appropriate to interpret Miller's statement as him saying that if you get a better education you won't need a textiles or furniture job?
Plus, you'd think that if they cracked down on illegal immigration and got it 100% under control the cheap labor Mexicans would still be in their country. If they were still in their country the textiles and furniture jobs would have a larger working pool south of the border. 10/27/2006 12:57:56 PM |

So is the reason you are humping Vernon Robinson's leg so much is because you hate Mexicans more, homosexuals more, or both about the same? That's all Robinson talks about...
Hypothetical Interviewer: "So, Mr. Robinson, how do you think the Panthers played the other day?"

^^I'm sorry that you see enforcing the border as "xenophobic" and such. we want immigrants here...LEGAL immigrants. why should they be allowed to break the law and benefit off of YOUR tax dollars?
the homosexual thing? that was just a dig at Miller and his values, not a large tenant of his platform. you are a fool if you think he cares that much about homosexuality. the only time he's said anything about this was when he was going against that importation act. why should they get special priviledges to bring in certain immigrants over others? they would be using marriage visas to bring in people not recognized as even being able to be wedded to them.
how about these MAJOR tenants of his campaign? what about them do you hate?:
-tax reduction -school choice -rights of the unborn -elimination of racial quotas -fighting Brad Miller's patented GAS TAX -Miller's misappropriation of MASSIVE amounts of funds to strange sex studies -Miller's horrible record on defense, not suprising seeing as he has ZERO military experience compared to Vernon's many years of service.
In times like these, we need strong leadership with convictions, not bet-wetting socialists who want to give terrorists rights like Brad Miller.
I encourage you to learn more about Brad Miller as well. I'm sure you can find plenty on his leftist views on the Daily Koz, the far-leftist, socialist-haven blog he posts on. NC will hopefully take out Gas Tax Brad next week.

Quote : | "until you actually become knowledgeable of his actual platform, i suggest you keep your mouth shut with your insults." |
I saw him in 3 debates (WRAL, WUNC, and some Winston-Salem station). All he chose to talk about were homosexuals and Mexicans. He even attacked David Crabtree (the moderator) for being a deacon in a church that accepts gays. If that doesn't speak volumes about his judgment (or lack of), I fair you well.
I've got Vernon Robinson figured out. He's a homophobic homosexual, like Mr. Garrison on South Park.

Quote : | "Robinson trades barbs with WRAL anchor
Rob Christensen, Staff Writer Republican Vernon Robinson didn't just go after his Democratic opponent, U.S. Rep. Brad Miller, during a debate on Friday. Robinson also got in a spirited argument with the moderator, WRAL anchorman David Crabtree.
The dispute started off-camera during a commercial break when Crabtree held up a copy of a bill regarding the ability of gay people to help their partners get a visa to immigrate to the United States. Crabtree told Robinson he could not find language in the bill that said what Robinson said the bill did.
"I understand that your church supports the ordination of homosexual clergy and you are deacon, and that is why you are taking the ridiculous position," Robinson said.
Crabtree responded: "I will not allow you to prostitute the airwaves. But I will say to you, my choice of worship is up to me. I will leave it at that."
Crabtree is an ordained deacon at The Church of the Good Shepherd, an Episcopal church in Raleigh. " |

So let me get this straight, if you don't support Vernon Robinson you are a socialist? Tell me, what exactly is conservative about being against immigration and homosexuality? A conservative position would be that immigration is free trade and the governement has no role in sexuality and religious issues. Robinson is the socialist wanting to control everybody.
Here's my conservative agenda:
1.) I don't support gay marriage, nor do I support any government involvement in any marriage. Marriage is the realm of the church. If the government wants to recognize civil unions for practicality, it should be blind to sexuality.
2.) Immigration is good. Most of the problems are a result of poor policy that forces immigrants to be outsiders. We need to put all immigrants on a path to citizenship and indoctrinate them into American culture. We need to end our Cold War era immigration policies and return to policies more in the spirit of our forefathers. We need to document all immigrants and only refuse them for practical reasons such as disease and bad intentions.

Quote : | "If there were an Oscar for political slime, it would go to "Twilight Zone," a spot run by Vernon Robinson, a congressional challenger in North Carolina. In 60 seconds, the ad manages to tie Democrat Brad Miller to Osama, gay marriage, "lesbians and feminists," activist judges, infanticide, flag-burning, racial quotas, space aliens, illegal immigrants, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton. In another ad, Robinson stamps "XXX" across Miller's face, claiming that his opponent refused to support body armor for troops in Iraq but that he "pays for sex" and that he "spent your tax dollars to pay teenage girls to watch pornographic movies with probes connected to their genitalia." It's all mendacious nonsense, but Paul Nelson, a Republican running for Congress in Wisconsin, liked the ad so much he ran it virtually unchanged against his own opponent." |

A vote for Robinson is a vote against Miller. He votes further left on economic issues than 92 percent of Congress, and he didn't even have the balls to vote yes or no on Iraq, instead voting present. He isn't sent to just be there, he's there to make a stand, right or wrong.

How far would you go with that? Have you watched any of the debates? Brad Miller is clearly the better of the two candidates. I don't care how "liberal" you might have heard Brad Miller is, Robinson is a racist, homophobic disgrace. He's unbecoming of a US Congressman and a disgrace to North Carolina. He's even attracted international attention, making North Carolinians look like complete morons in the eyes of the country and the world. He doesn't even have much support amongst other Republicans. When Bush visited the district he's running for, Robinson wasn't invited.
