Unanounced person at my door tonight. Running for Congress again. Read and feel for me.

Loud knock on my door tonight.
"Who's there" produced no answer, though I saw through the peephole a very large man was outside.

http://www.robinsonforcongress.com/

It isn't my first interaction with him, so I opened the door and said: "Hello, Vernon Robinson. If by chance you are running for something, please remember I'm a Democrat for life. Not only that, it makes me very angry how you run your campaigns."

for reasons I don't understand myself this man riles me so much it transcends my being scared in any way

"Why yes" he says "I'm running for Congress".

"Well then" I look at him " I surely hope you don't do it with hatred and on the backs of immigrants again. I for one am in favor of keeping the Immigrants, and deporting the Republicans".

Now he just stared at me.
"Secession", he said "may be an answer.We can keep NC and the Northern States. But some of the Southern ones have to go".

I stared back. "I'm an immigrant, and I became a citizen as soon as possible so I could vote. Now, why don't you go home and read your bible and do the things Jesus REALLY told you to do".

He went to his car, looked back once more, and asked me how I liked his ride. Some sort of Honda.
I liked it fine. And I liked that he was sufficiently rattled to use such a diversion as his last word.

The last time he ran Rachel was still on Air America Radio. She railed against him for these reasons:

I give you a lot of credit for what you said.

He has a lot of nerve, running the way he does. He has no business in the Congress.

I am proud of you!

He is slimy and disgusting. The sheer thought he may make it to Congress will immediately pull the approval ratings down to below 5 %.

that what Jesus said is written in RED in The Bible. I think that's where they get their distorted understanding -- they think the whole thing is what Jesus said. Even the old testament.
