Vernon Robinson, a former city council member from Winston-Salem, N.C., has been gathering attention for the ads he's been running during the race for the 13th district House seat in North Carolina. Robinson won the Republican primary and is now facing liberal Congressman Brad Miller in November.
Robinson's ads don't mince words or tiptoe around the issues:
Every night, 7,000 aliens rush into our country illegally and your ultra-liberal congressman, Brad Miller, refuses to guard the border. Instead of deporting them he votes for amnesty and throws them a party with your tax dollars. [mariachi music begins playing] Brad Miller gives these aliens welfare, driver’s licenses, Social Security, free healthcare, free lawyers, free public educations, even free school lunches. These aliens pay no income tax and send their money back to Mexico, then they take to the street waving the Mexican flag and demanding more. Unbelievably Brad Miller voted to allow these illegals to burn the American flag while waving the Mexican flag.
Robinson's messages are evidently very appealing; he lost the Republican primary for North Carolina's 5th District in 2004 but raised $3 million, a very large amount for a House primary. The striking thing about this number, though, is that 96 percent of his donations came from individuals.
This is certainly shaping up to be an interesting race.
