I can't believe it's sinking in. More and more places I'm find the term "conservative black(s)" as opposed to "black conservative(s)." That's excellent.

Shall we help him out?

Just got a mailing from him yesterday and we will be supporting his candidacy.

I scanned the article, but I believe it fails to mention the hallmark of his platform......100% Pro-Life.

I wish Mr. Alfonsi would step aside so there could be a united front. This one is too important for in-party differences.

Mr. Greer said he was labeled quickly as anti-homosexual and Miss Baldwin, then a state legislator, wrote an open letter to the media demanding that he be fired.


"You took my job, and now I'm gonna take yours". LOL!

Anyway, I wish him the best of luck. This guy got a bum deal at her hands. Nevermind that he sounds to be more conservative then the other guy.

The money's on Greer in this primary. I'll be casting my vote on Tuesday. However, I don't think the winner has a chance in the general election. The redistricting in Wisconsin heavily favors the incumbents, and this 2nd district had a huge swath of conservatives cut out.

Miss Baldwin is a disgrace. Beelzebubba was in town to support her. Given his taste for the ladies, I wonder if he cornered her and placed her hand you-know-where. She probably took his hand and placed it on hers, and hers was bigger.

Mr. Greer, also a former firefighter, was fired after 18 years for questioning the hiring of a new chief -- a lesbian he said was not as qualified as white males in the city department.

This reminds me of something I saw the other day; a book dedicated to the female firefighters of September 11. First, I want to say that I am not dismissing the value contribution that women made to the rescue efforts on that horrible day, but were there any female firemen at ground zero? I seem to remember that NOW or someone was griping that there weren't enough female firefighters in NYC. To me, this just sounds like the issue with the commemorative statue. I'm all for giving someone their due, but I hate this business of people looking at a group of heroes and saying "Wait, they're all white/men. We have to do something about this."

Don't you know? Womanizing, sexual harassment, and rape are okay if you support the killing of a child, in the womb. If they had been in private, she would have dropped and given him 50 (and, I don't mean push-ups).

Just wanted to point out that the story doesn't substantiate the claim made in the headline -- that Greer is leading Baldwin. It just says that he may be the front-runner in the GOP primary.

Does he have a campaign website. I wish some of these guys would take PayPal payments. FreeRepublic started taking PayPal and it made it easy for me to toss my play money their way.

Ron is serious, a true conservative and definetely needs help reaching the voters. He's got some backing, but more importantly, enough of a network organization to make a go at it.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Mr. Greer was fired for handing out literature that actually depicted homosexuality for what it really is. This was done at the worksite and if my memory serves correct, the pamphlet was requested by a co-worker.

Secondly, Chief Amesqua is/was/and forever will be unbelievably unqualifed for her position. She made an absolute debacle of an investigation of several firefighters who were accused of using cocaine. Her ineptitude cost the taxpayers of Madison tens of thousands of dollars and many of the guilty were able to enjoy suspension with pay, and then retire with full benefits after their complicity was proven and a plea bargain reached. She dragged this issue out for a very extended period of time unnecessarily.

She is not a manager, and has proven it many times during her tainted tenure,.....merely a token for the leftist elite who control Madison, the "fairyland of the dairyland".

Finally, I subscribe to the weekly Washington Times and was troubled that they neglected to mention that Tammy Baldwin is the first openly lesbian "white" female in congress.

If they felt it necessary to mention Mr. Greer's race, why not hers? (Rhetorical question).
