Brad Miller soundly trouncing Vernon Robinson by a robust 30 points:
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2006/pages/results/states/NC/H/13/index.htmlFrom Wikipedia:
Robinson's campaign has featured:
Immigration issues, including a radio ad that features mariachi music and states "If Miller had his way, America would be nothing but one big fiesta for illegal aliens and homosexuals."<4>
His opponent's personal life, alleging that Congressman Miller was a homosexual because he married somewhat late in life and has no children. Miller had to explain that his wife was unable to conceive due to a hysterectomy she had to undergo prior to their marriage.<5>
Challenges to Miller's priorities, accusing him of "deny
our soldiers the body armor they need" and "instead of spending money on sickle-cell research", voting to spend "money to study the sex lives of Vietnamese prostitutes in San Francisco"; FactCheck "found the ad misleading on several counts."<6>
A soundbite from Bill Cosby in an ad called a "lesson in tough love" that ends with the assertion that "the biggest problem facing blacks today isn't slavery or racism, it's the destruction of the family; the answer isn't racial quotas or a government handout, it's personal responsibility"<7>
On November 1, 2006, Robinson addressed the North Carolina State Univeristy College Republicans, and is reported to have iterated, among other things, that multicultural acceptance was a "stupid notion," that Spanish speakers had no place in the United States, and that "the lives and suffering of foreigners" weren't worth "one drop of American blood."
