Wow, this guy has ZERO idea how American politics works if he thinks a FRESHMAN congressman would have the authority or influence to do ANYTHING significant, much less "fixing" immigration, terrorism, homosexuality, secular humanism, and everything else he mentions.
@NotMe
He stated mostly non-issues and goes on a fear mongering tour without showing any solutions.
In all fairness, there's really no need to provide solutions when the problems don't exist in the first place.
What is not apparent from the ad and what most may not realize is that Robinson is black. I only bring this up because it is such a departure from what most blacks belief politically and is even more extremely to the right than most of the conservatives in this area. I live in an adjacent congressional district to where he is running and this is the 2nd consecutive election he has run for election. He narrowly lost the first time around in a run-off, but the campaign ads are pretty much the same material if not a bit stronger than last time.
Edit. I should have said lost the Republican Party primary in a run-off. The woman that defeated him in the primary went on to win the election.
@Bigevildan:
He makes it look like te problems exist (Which I stated by saying he stated mostly non-issues). Therefore he should at least have some (fictional) solutions to his (fictional) problems to promote himself as the saviour of current America.
What he did now is like a plumber going to a house, convince them they have a leak and then walk away after handing them his card in the hope that they will call him to fix the leak.
It just doesn't work that way with rational people.
To some people, homosexuality is a bigger threat than terrorism. To them, both terrorists and homosexuals (and, let's face it, liberals as well) want to destroy their narrow-minded version of "America," but being gay isn't illegal....yet.
How odd that this African-American politician should think that the perfect, ideal "America" is represented by "Leave It to Beaver," a show that failed to even acknowledge the existence of black America.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
