Not gonna, but he does. Note all effort to embarrass him and question him in front of any group that may be thinking of supporting him, and all the main-stream media negative attention he draws.

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.
