{It was an outrage, but I don't think that was an ideal seat for Greer to have run in.}

The WI-02 is definitely hostile terrain for Pubbie. After all it's Madison, the Berkley of the Dairy State. I guess I am sympathetic toward Ron Greer. He was an excellent fireman who lost his job to the Thought Police. When he ran for Congress in 1998, the RINOS torpedoed his candidacy. I am also upset that the white "religious right" failed to rally around him. Our apathy toward African-American conservatives in need, makes blacks wary of GOP outreach efforts. We need to stand with our African-American brethren.

FYI in September 2002, I attended a martial arts convention in Chicago. I happened to meet a couple of white liberals from Madison. We ended up talking about Ron Greer. The liberals had no flattering things to say about him or Reggie White. They even referred to them as a "dumb n_gg_rs. I was shocked at their attitudes. So much for liberals being enlightened on racial matters.

All good points. Another problem of his candidacy was the appearance of "wanting revenge" on the part of Greer, right or wrong. The GOP isn't big on backing "grudge match" candidates (they similarly yanked the rug out on B-1 Bob Dornan in '98 against Linda "Sanchez" Brixey in his reelection).

What's shocking about it ? Liberals are the biggest bigots around. I've never heard more intolerance come out of their hypocritical mouths. When they used that epithet, you should've told them that they were talking to one, and watch the pigs squirm.
