Vernon Robinson runs two non-profits and collects his salary from those jobs. His wife also works full-time as a librarian.
It is a shame that you boys so oppose a black conservative that you would implicitly support his crazy dem opponent on an open conservative forum.
I really like this guy. Wish he was running in Penna. Am emailing the link for his commerical to very one I know.
He lives in Mel Watt's district and was actively campaigning against Mel Watt when the NCGOP asked him to run in the neighboring 13th district instead.
TR, I can't speak for jern, of course, but your statement as it relates to be is wrong on many levels. You might want to reread my posts.
In accusing be of opposing "a black conservative" are you attempting to imply that I have race issues? I can assure you that's not the case. I haven't mentioned Mr. Robinson's race, nor do I care about it.
Your assertion that I "implicitly support his crazy dem opponent" is frankly absurd, and not in keeping with your usually intelligent postings. To repeat what I said above, I'd vote for him if I lived in the district in question (even though Vernon does not). I also said that the TV ad was one of the best I've seen. In the unlikely event that he makes it to Congress (and I have no doubt he'll keep trying; there are ten more CDs in the state he hasn't yet considered running in), his voting record would almost certainly meet with my enthusiastic approval.
But there's more to running for or serving in Congress than one's voting record. Vernon, alas, is a carnival sideshow.
"... your statement as it relates to be me is wrong ..."
It takes more than a single vote to elect someone to congress: It takes money.
Voter turnout of supporters cannot be generated without mailings and positive word of mouth.
Rude, unfair comments like "he is a carnival sideshow" suppress turnout of supporters, which implicitly supports his crazy commie-dem opponent.
