Buchanan and Tancredo don't represent conservative thought. They represent racist and xenophobic thought. If Robinson accepted their endorsement he has only himself to blame.

I'll take Buchanan and Tancredo over the RNC and Republican hierarchy anyday. I do not consider record deficits, $10 billion to bail Africa out of ITS A.I.D.S. crisis, and open borders (read the posts on FR about all the incidents of Middle Easterners flooding across the Mexican border) as conservative policies.

Buchanan wrote a piece about the race but to my knowledge he did not endorse Vernon in this race. Cong. Tancredo did endorse Vernon and I am sorry that you disagree with Mr. Tancredo and Vernon on his immigration position.

Thing is, though, you might disagree with Vernon on this position, or any other, but there was never any ambiguity about that position.

Again, I'm sorry that you disagree with him, but his concern about illegal immigration comes from the national security and economic security concerns that ran rampant in the district and indeed, in the nation. In some areas of the district, 80% of kids registered in some schools were illegal immigrants. Congressman Walter Jones (who also endorsed us) just had an article reported today about the number of illegal immigrants in the North Carolina prison system.

It is just wrong to label Vernon a racist on this issue or any other. Clearly you don't like him and that's fine. But howsabout we put this stuff aside and concentrate on defeating Democrats.
