"Jesse Helms is back! And this time, he's black."

The homosexuals printed the same thing in their rag publication, which they call "Queer Notes". They scornfully called me, "Helms redux." (I don't know what I did to make these homosexuals mad at me this time, but I must be doing something right.)

Of course, they meant the comparison to Helms to be taken as an insult, but I wear it as a badge of honor. For thirty years Jesse Helms was the number one flag carrier for the conservative movement in Washington, and with him gone, someone needs to step in and fill that void.

I'm honored to be accused of picking up where Senator Helms left off.

If my name is familiar, it may be because you recently saw me on The Fox News Channel. Fox News called me a "Rising Star" and "the next J.C. Watts" and said that I am "the new face of the Republican Party."

The Wall Street Journal called me "the next black Republican Congressman" and United Press International called me "the early favorite to replace Congressman Richard Burr". The Davie County Enterprise-Record called me "a Rush Limbaugh candidate".

Even if you haven't heard of me yet, you know many conservatives who have. At one time or another I have been endorsed by Jesse Helms, Alan Keyes, Bob Barr, Lauch Faircloth, Elizabeth Dole, Richard Burr, Dick Armey, Gary Bauer, the NRA, Right-to-Life, Bill Bennett, Pat Buchanan, Pete du Pont, Tom Tancredo, and Jeb Bush.

President Bush honored me with an appointment in his administration and hired me to work on his campaign. That should give you a pretty good idea of where I stand.

Just a reminder that while the left eats itself from the inside out and argues about Ted Koppel's hair and slings mud at Joe Lieberman, here's what the Republicans are doing. Until we finally unite for the common cause of ridding the world of George W. Bush and his merry band of corporate criminals, the Republicans will continue to use the tactics of division and hate to marginalize us. Be very afraid.

1. Oh My God!

PLEASE tell me he doesn't have a shot.

2. What a fucking race traitor...

I hope before God sends him to Hell, he forces Mr. Robinson to look Nelson Mandela in the eye and explain why he supported a man (Cheney) who actively propped a regime that refused to regard Blacks as people.

4. I really hope not.

Vernon Robinson is such an embarrassment to this community. Some of his highlights (or lowlights):

1) He used a visit from a African dignitary to say AIDS was the fault of homosexuals.

2) He decried the hiring of a black police officer saying that he was never given a test to even know if he could fire a gun. Unfortunately, he didn't read the background that this officer was formerly in the Army.

3) He's endorsed by Jesse Helms. 'Nuff said.

This guy has a little bit of power in the Winston-Salem and now wants to spread. He was defeated in a run for the state house in the last election, and I doubt he'll go national. The race is really heating up with Jay Helvey and Ed Broyhill already running TV ads. So hopefully he'll be our problem for just a little bit longer, at least until the people in his ward toss him out on his ear.

5. Thanks

I was hoping someone from NC would weigh in.

Questions: Is Richard Burr not running? Isn't he the incumbent in this district? Are there any Democrats running, or is this a district that is so radically right that the Dems don't bother?

BTW, Broyhill also has Helms listed as an endorsement on his website...does Jesse just endorse all the bigots?

”As a teenager, young Ed Broyhill traveled with me throughout north western North Carolina during my first campaign in 1972. From that experience I understood the importance of the Broyhill family in building the Republican Party in western North Carolina.”

“I’m honored to endorse Ed Broyhill, who has been like a godson to me and Dot and I look forward to visiting the Fifth District to campaign actively for Ed’s Congressional candidacy.”

3. Pardon my swearing

but these kinds of people piss me off.

Did you see his issues page? All he is doing is attacking other people AND STEREOTYPING THEM!!!

On top of that, he come out against Affirmative Action

can also assure you I will not be bashful about insisting that the federal government abolish all racial preferences, quotas, and set-asides. You can call them "goals" or "affirmative action" or any other euphemism you want -- but they're still the same thing - unconstitutional racial discrimination.

But he has no fucking clue that the military would be shit without Affirmative Action.

6. Why would any African American, no matter HOW conservative he is....

...openly seek the endorsement of a fucking Klansman like Jesse Helms?? :crazy:

[Yupster]

11. Jesse Helms was never a Klamnsman

that was Robert Byrd.

[tom_paine]

7. Sad, pathetic

Not only selling out his own people, but also all the people yet unborn...

But I'll bet he has a personally RICH FUTURE in Imperial Politics.

8. A Rising Right Wing Whacko HERO???

OMG< Yet ANOTHER ONE, A G A I N!

9. The Borg

you have been assimilated.
resistance is futile.

10. I hope he gets a ton of money. His con game is very good.

Most Blacks don't get a fair shake for the American system so I don't begrude any of them for "playing the game" to get what they want. The Repugs have made the like of Armstrong, Keyes and others wealthy beyond
regular 9-5 job nor could they legitimately compete in the system withoout selling their very souls. So I say, more power to them. Hope the Repugs and the racists send them a lot of their hard earned or embezzled money.
