Robinson Has Got National Conservatives Arguing

According to the Raleigh N&O, 5th District congressional candidate Vernon Robinson has sparked a debate among national conservative leaders, with Jack Kemp on the thumbs-down side and Pat Buchanan on the thumbs-up side. Robinson "lost the support of Jack Kemp, who endorsed Robinson but changed his mind after deciding that Robinson is among the 'protectionist xenophobes' who are dividing the Republican Party." "Xenophobe" = "A person unduly fearful or contemptuous of strangers or foreigners, especially as reflected in his political or cultural views." That's ole Vern to a T!

But "that's OK with Pat Buchanan, who weighed in on Robinson's behalf in a column this week in The American Conservative."

In the meantime, we hear Virginia Foxx has gotten the Cruella de Ville endorsement, just to keep things balanced.
