I thought better of N.C. Does this mean that the Dem will be more conservative than the Republican?

Vernon Robinson would have been a much better choice! Foxx's approval rating by the NCAE (the North Carolina arm of the largest union in America) and her 100% approval rating in 1999 by the ACLU should have been ample warning to any who were deceived by her claim to be a real conservative.

Bad!

A Great American is said to have made the following statement:

While people may not always get the kind of government they want, they always get the kind of government they deserve.

Perhaps this is the case here.

As much as I hated bill clinton, after he was re-elected I never complained about aything he did to America. I cussed him and damned him to Hell for a million years for doing it but I never once complained.

The night he was re-elected I said, "What ever he does to us we deserve. The people know what a sob he is and still elected him, so what ever he does , that is what they want.

Robinson was backed by the Buchanan/Tancredo anti- GOP, anti-Bush cult. His defeat should be a lesson to all candidates who think they can win a Republican primary by running against the Republican party.

At least Bush and DeLay can rely upon Foxx's vote on crucial issues.

In 1976 former California Governor Ronald Wilson Reagan conceded defeat to President Gerald R. Ford in the Republican primary. Reagan was portrayed by the press as too extreme, out of the mainstream and dangerous in that he might cause a nuclear war with the Soviets. Sometimes he spoke of truths that made people uncomfortable. For the most part, the GOP establishment and party leadership did what they could, behind closed doors, to downplay (or in some cases undermine Reagan). They supported Ford, who, after all, already had the job, was a pretty decent guy, fairly presentable, and not likely to be as irresponsible on social programs, taxes, and defense as the Democrats. Ford was also not a true conservative by any measure, and in fact continued the advancement of some of the liberal trends of the 60's during his administration. The rest, as they say, is history.

Virginia Foxx fought and won a tough primary and has pledged to fight for conservative principles. We need to give her our support, but also hold her to the commitments that she has made. It's now time for unity, but with eyes wide open. It is my sincere hope that Senator Foxx will put our concerns to rest regarding her background and will serve with honor in defending life, marriage and free speech, supporting the defense of this country, working to reduce taxes and the size of the government, and to protect our borders, our language and our unique American culture so that we can remain that Shining City on a Hill.

Congratulations to Virginia Foxx!

Start a write in Campaign for Vernon Robinson-if it fails to get him elected and throws the victory to the Democrat, things won't be much worse than they already are. The other candidates, the Democrat and the Rinocrat are as alike as peas in a pod.
