Want gas for $1.80-a-gallon? Then head to the Montgomery County town of Biscoe tomorrow.
Republican Vernon Robinson, running for Congress in the 8th District, will be pumping 1,000 gallons at that price beginning at 11 a.m. at the E-ZEE gas station at 306 N. Main St.
Biscoe is the home of Democratic U.S. Rep. Larry Kissell. Robinson is one of several Republicans trying to unseat him.
According to Robinson, $1.80 is "the same price gasoline sold for when Larry Kissell and Barack Obama assumed office in January 2009. " Not only is he using the gimmick to make a point, but he's taking a page out of Kissell's playbook.
When Kissell first race unsuccessfully in 2006, he sold gas for $1.22/gallon, the price it was when his GOP opponent, then-Rep. Robin Hayes, took office in 1999. Kissell even ran ads showing motorists lined up for the cheap gas. Today, Kissell welcomed Robinson to his home county.
"I welcome Mr. Robinson to Montgomery County and thank him for spending his campaign money trying to help the citizens of our district stretch their hard-earned dollars in this way," Kissell said in a statement. "I encourage all the other candidates to likewise follow my lead ...
"In a political season already stained by rancor, ill will and brutally negative ads, I congratulate Mr. Robinson for taking the high road and spending his money to help working folks out just a little bit."

Not worth the trip to Biscoe.
Vernon Robinson sure knows how to waste money. First, as a City Council member who voted to put the ten commandments on city property, and then they had to be removed at TAXPAYER expense. Then he spent $100k last quarter on his campaign manager - highest paid manager I've ever heard of. I feel bad for the nice people who have donated to his campaign, because he is wasting their money.
I hear Vernon Robinson is going to wear coveralls tomorrow when he pumps gas in Biscoe.
Maybe Vernon Robinson can save CMS from destruction by having the NAACP get the heck out of the way?
Robinson for president as this other dumbass idiot in the WH has never give a flying fuck about gas prices that continue to squeeze more blood out of the turnip masses.
My question to Mr. Robinson, is the gas your pumping going to remain at 1.80 per gallon after you defeat Mr. Kissell? Seriously doubt it sir, you have no more control on gas prices as the president does. So it's unfair to play the blame game on Mr. Kissell and president. Too many factors in play that trigger these high prices, but one thing can help and congress can start working on it, stop wall street speculation by putting policies in place to control wall street and investor speculation which are driving fuel and commodity prices through the roof. That is doeable Sir and it may help drive gas prices down, permanently. I urge you to discuss this issue next time you are in Washington, Sir.
These same libs bitched & whined 8 ys about that terrible dumbass Bush & blamed him for everything while the jobless rate was 2-3% max?
So now their half & half mutt messiah is suddenly not to blame?
Who the hell are these dumbass idiots trying to kid? His supporters are dumber than he is.
Obama is OUT !!!! Whites will not vote him a 2nd term to run up another 20 trillion debt. That is a fact.
It will take 50 years to fix his mess but only with non-socialist capitalists in office. Whites give a rats ass him being the first half black pres. Thats meaningless as hell since he sux & so clueless.
The more important point is Bamaboy continuing to fuck up America so badly with ignorance and stupidity. His IQ must be below retard level. NEVER let a dumb democ-rat of any race in the WH again ever.
