I’ll wager that Barry never thought this would happen.

My name is Charles Lollar and I want to represent you in the United States Congress. I am not a professional politician, I dont represent any special interest group and Im not famous enough to be considered a celebrity. Many consider people like us to be just ordinary, but you and I know better.

I could care less what color or race or gender a candidate is. All that matters is whether or not the candidate is a conservative (fiscal AND social).

Just a little reminder...remember Steele.
We must not run wildly in the wind...
whatever that means.

Agreed. However, you have to admit that this does make the heads of the race and grievance pimps explode.

This is long overdue. Agreed. I'm pleased as punch to see black people coming home to the Republican party. All four of my (black) grand parents voted Republican their entire lives.
Of the two succeeding generations, just myself and one of my brothers managed to escape the liberal Democrat mind control plantation.
Hopefully, lots of blacks will be disgusted enough with what Obama's doing to the country that they'll give these up-and-coming black Republicans a listen.

Like many conservatives, I do not care what skin tone my congresscritter sports. He, she or it just needs to vote for smaller, less intrusive government.

Fantastic!!! I don’t care about color, I care passionately about policy and leadership. Allen West is astonishing in both of those attributes. I wish he could run in my state. Good for him..and all others that are stepping forward to run.

“at least 32 African-Americans are running for Congress this year as Republicans”
Excellent!
Let’s hope black voters are going to take a second look at the GOP and realize that it is the party of opportunity and freedom, while the Democrats just want to keep them dependent on the government, in serfdom.

I think that Marvin Scott won the Republican primary in Indiana to oppose Andre Carson.

I just read her platform on her website. She indeed looks great! I hope she wins in a landslide.
To: smokingfrog
Like most here, I am sure, for me “it's the character, stupid”. Allen West is a good man, as is Loller, and Ken Blackwell. I don't care if a candidate is purple, he must have good character, impeccable judgment, *which leaves out most of those now in Congress), understand the Constitution and our history, and support the free market!

The House has not had a black Republican since 2003, when J. C. Watts of Oklahoma left after eight years. And what a bang up job Mr Obama supporter & Black TV News Network did.
