Vernon Robinson Is Finished!!!
The "black Jesse Helms" (a misnomer, since Helms was actually far saner than Vernon Robinson) finally took the gas pipe last night, losing to Virginia Foxx in the GOP primary for
I do have mixed emotions about this, since a Robinson win would've provided a better chance for a Democratic pickup in the district. However, as was the case when Arlen Specter narrowly defeated wingnut freakshow Pat Toomey in the GOP Senate primary in Pennsylvania, any time you can keep a member of the lunatic fringe out of a spot in Congress, at least a part of you should be relieved.
Robinson finally conceded to the woman he had recently referred to as a (gasp!) "Hillary Clinton-type liberal" in a TV ad, but not before shitting out this lovely little soundbyte:
He drove from the Ramada to the Morning Dew, earning warm applause there and immediately offering to help Foxx "kill off Democrats and get more conservatives in office."
It's a pity that kind of mindset won't be representing the people of North Carolina...
P.S. Don't take this commentary to mean that Virginia Foxx is any prize peach. She's not. Take a look at her site to find out why...
...and get out and support Jim Harrell in the general election in November!!!
UPDATE: It's been brought to my attention that according to the Bush Doctrine, we Democrats are well within our rights to kill off Mr. Robinson since he's threatened to kill us off. I feel Mr. Robinson's alleged "Weapons of Major Delirium" or "WMD's" could even be construed as an imminent threat to my security and to the security of other freedom-loving Democrats...
