There's not much. Both are radical open-borders, pro-gay, pro-homosexual, anti-family, welfare-plantation rulers.

Pro-gay and pro-homosexual eh? She sure has gotten a bunch of Republican support in a pretty conservative district. Amazing how fooled everyone is (especially with all the adds Vernon has run pointing out how liberal everyone else is

And as for "open borders", so is our current President. That's not "hillaryesque".

Looks like someone has sampled the coolaid.

He ran the same kinds of adds against the other Republicans. I'll say it again, he's run a DIRTY CAMPAIGN. And everyone in the district knows it.

Dirty campaigning, eh? Foxx's ad was entitled "The Big Lie." Looks like it was: National Rifle Association of America Political Victory Fund Institute for Legislative Action 11250 Waples Mill Road Fairfax, Virginia 22030-7400 ______________________________________________________________________________FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: For More Information: August 16 , 2002 (703) 267-3820 Vote for Vernon Robinson ¨C the NRA‑PVF Endorsed Candidate FAIRFAX, VA -- In recent radio spots, mailings and on her website, Virginia Foxx incorrectly states she is the National Rifle Association (NRA) endorsed candidate in North Carolina¡¯s 5th District Congressional race. The truth is the NRA‑ PVF has endorsed Vernon Robinson for the 5th District. Robinson, the son of a Tuskegee Airman and nurse, graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy with a B.S. in Middle Eastern Affairs and the University of Missouri with an M.B.A. Proudly serving his country as a Missile Combat Crew Commander and Intelligence Officer in the Air Force before becoming a business professor at the Winston‑Salem campus of the University of North Carolina, Robinson supports the right of all law‑abiding Americans to keep and bear arms. His strong belief in the 2nd Amendment has earned him the endorsement of NRA‑PVF. On August 17, Vernon Robinson will face Virginia Foxx in a runoff contest for the Republican nomination in the 5th Congresssional District of North Carolina. --nra-pvf-- Established in 1871, the National Rifle Association is America¡¯s oldest civil rights and sportsmen's group. Four million members strong, NRA continues its mission to uphold Second Amendment rights and advocates enforcement of existing laws against violent offenders to reduce crime. The Association remains the nation's leader in firearm education and training for law‑abiding gun owners, law enforcement and the armed services.

Paul Valone, President, Grass Roots North Carolina Telephone: (704) 907-9206 E-mail: pres@grnc.org Release date: August 16, 2004 5th Congressional Candidate: Foxx Falsely Claims Gun Group ¡®Endorsement¡¯ In a recent radio interview and most recently on her web site, US House candidate Virginia Foxx claims she has been endorsed by North Carolina¡¯s most influential state-level gun rights organization, Grass Roots North Carolina. Foxx¡¯s claims are false: ¡õ GRNC does not ¡°endorse¡± candidates. Instead, the GRNC Political Victory Fund, GRNC¡¯s registered political action committee, makes recommendations for effective gun rights voting strategies. ¡õ GRNC-PVF recommended Vernon Robinson, not Virginia Foxx for Congress in the 5th District. In a mailing of The GRNC Activist to members and supporters, Vernon Robinson earned GRNC¡¯s highest 4-star evaluation and recommendation as a likely leader for gun owners in Congress. In Foxx¡¯s own words: ¡°The Big Lie¡± Ironically, the radio spot in which Foxx falsely claims the GRNC endorsement is titled, ¡°The Big Lie,¡± supposedly pointing out lies propagated by Robinson. In reality, the biggest mistruth in the ad seems to be spoken by Foxx herself. To hear the false ad, go to: http://www.virginiafoxx.com/media/ad17.html
