Yes, I do believe he would have done this regardless of his run for Congress. His political career is decorated with all kinds of guerrilla marketing.

Even without the guerrilla marketing he has consistently stood up for conservative values -- standing up against the homosexual lobby to stop them from defunding the Boy Scouts, consistently offering conservative alternative budgets to the drunken sailor spending sprees they pass every year in Winston Salem. Most of all, he has stood as a stalwart conservative -- as the lone conservative -- against every other member of that city council.

Now. You don't like this, fine. But don't pretend you know Vernon's motivations for this. Particularly when you have clearly never bothered to look beyond the Winston Salem Journal's characterization of him.

Go ahead and continue to swallow the nice, non-threatening, ordinary little talking points from the Republican Party, RepublicanLady. I, for one, am going to go for the conservative everytime. We have enough RINOS in Congress from NC who are afraid of their own shadow to last us a lifetime. I want things shaken up.

There is no procedure. Robinson was not quoted saying that. The reporter paraphrased Robinson saying he didn't know the procedure after Robinson mocked the reporter for assuming there was a building permit procedure or something comparable. There is no statute, ordinance, or resolution that contemplates the erection of a monument on city property in Winston-Salem. Robinson put it up and said to his peers on the city council, I hope you'll vote to accept it -- if not, let me know and I'll come get it.

Not original? Moore, Keyes, Vision America, etc. have all called on every elected official to put up his own Ten Commandments monument. What is this law you claim he broke? If you have no idea what you're talking about, perhaps you should do more listening.
