Oh yeah. The one thing I know I look for in a Congressman is whether or not he is a nice guy. Personally, I want someone fearless which is what Vernon Robinson is. We have more than enough Congressmen who apparently have had spinectomies.

And Vernon has consistently brought attention to issues using guerilla marketing for his entire political career. It is nothing new. To say that it is just doesn't tell the story.

Frankly, I'd like to have someone in Congress who doesn't spew the same old boring talking points. Blah blah blah.

It's more than beyond time to shake things up in the Capitol and Vernon is the guy to do it.

The one thing this area doesn't need is a Congressman who stages publicity stunts claiming that he "didn't know the procedure" to see how to go about obtaining a permit.

If anything else, Vernon has tried to position himself as a knowledgable, articulate candidate who has all his facts straight. This is why this screams of publicity stunt.

He could easily have found out what it was that he needed to obtain a permit--he just wanted to make a news splash by copying a heavily publicized event in Alabama.

Besides, I thought that Vernon didn't have enough $ to fund his campaign, but he spends $2,000 on a monument (not including the fees that he'll suffer for breaking the law for putting it on public property without a permit).

It's not original, and therefore stinks of just wanting publicity rather than his true belief in the Commandments themselves.
