Bump to Vernon Robinson, a true patriot. I hope NC-05 voters send Robinson to Congress. He could teach House Republicans on how to fight for conservative values.

[George Smiley]

That makes two congressional districts in North Carolina that I regret not living in. :^)

[Blue Screen of Death]

I think we are going to seem more and more conservative Blacks running and winning. There are a lot more smart, independant, successful Blacks out there than the liberal media is admiting, or the Democrats want.

***Referring to Foxx, Robinson says she would be about as liberal as most of the Democrats in Congress if she is elected...."Even more frightening is that she voted to create special rights for homosexuals, and has supported the adoption of children by homosexuals. A millionaire herself, she has been funded by the trial lawyers and the militant homosexual PAC's. I am alarmed at the prospect that this woman may represent you and me in Congress!"***

How could a RINO such as her get elected to public office in such a conservative area? Virginia Foxx maybe okay for California, but certainly not the NC-05, where Bush received 66% of the votes in 2000. Conservatives need to stop her from winning the primary.

How could a RINO such as her get elected to public office in such a conservative area?

Trial lawyers cut across party lines -- see Lindsey Graham. Her only other thing is gays, but she at least claims to be pro-life and is endorsed by NC Right to Life in her senate races. She's personally popular with her constituents, and voters don't always follow strict ideological standards, rather personal impression. I don't think she puts "I LOVE GAYS" on her campaign signs, shall we say.

***voters don't always follow strict ideological standards, rather personal impression.***

This is what is wrong with politics today. Too many voters select the candidate who has the most personal appeal rather than examining his/her stand on the issues. Sen. John Edwards and Jesse Helms were first elected to the US Senate largely due to their personal impressions on the voters.

[IMRight]

OK. Here's my problem:

I just moved into the Winston-Salem area (NC) and the current Congressman from my district (Burr) is also running for Senate here. I understand he has an excellent conservative record and a substantial warchest.

BUT

There is little I would enjoy more than to help solve many of our society's racial problems by increasing the number of genuine conservative men and women of color in politics. If he really is a "J.C. Watts" (minus the family problems) I would LOVE to have him represent me.

AND

A harsh primary could cost us a senate seat.

SO

What's a guy to do? Anyone active in NC politics have any information?

[JohnnyZ]

Well, since Vernon Robinson is running for US Representative, ie the House, I'm not sure I see how his primary would cost Burr the Senate election.

Support Vernon for US House, support Burr for US Senate. Neither race will affect the other measurably.

[TaxRelief]

Burr is running for Senate. Robinson is running for House of Representatives. No seats will be lost. The Dems don't have a chance in either race, unless a liberal Republican wins the district 5 primary.

Snyder is an excellent candidate. He was one of our speakers at the Rally in Raleigh. I personally would have a hard time in choosing between them.

[Hildy]

Cain is running in Georgia.

[Paul Atreides]

Ooops! ;-)

[Spirited]

To bad I can't vote there. I'd vote for a man of principle anytime.

What I can do is pray, and pray, and pray. May God be merciful to this nation and raise up men who aquit themselves as men. And may He hold them responsible for every bit of what they do and don't do in office.

[JohnnyZ]

Snyder is an excellent candidate . . . I personally would have a hard time in choosing between them.

Choose the one who actually lives in the district. There are several good conservatives running who are from the district that I don't think Snyder deserves serious consideration as a carpetbagger.
