If a good number end up elected, they should force their way into the Congressional Black Caucus and then move to disband it because the people’s representatives should never belong to an organization that discriminates on the basis of race.

What an excellent man! Outstanding people, all!

I don’t really care if they are pink with purple polka dots.

As long as they are true conservatives who love and want to help their country.

RINOS need not apply.

[Personal Responsibility]

I could not have said it more succinctly or better. Exactly right.

[paudio]

Nobody screamed ‘racism’ when Blackwell, Steele, and Swann lost to white guys in their respective race.

[Windflier]

I didn’t know that Star Parker was running for Congress. That is very cool. She’s got a good head on her shoulders, and is a staunch conservative. Great news.

[no dems]

I can’t stand Steny Hoyer and I think Mr. Lollar is great. Realistically, what do you think are his chances?

[LADY J]

"I just read her platform on her website. She indeed looks great! I hope she wins in a landslide."

I agree!! She sounds like an intelligent Conservative. She's young & attractive.

Arkansas would be well served by this lady.

[LADY J]

Star Parker has been one of my favorites for a long time.

It's a wake up call to hear that blacks feel inspired to run as Republicans because they feel they could actually win because people would vote for a black person when they saw that Obama won.

They wasted lots of years thinking that!!! A Conservative running on principle, small government & fiscal responsibility will have the odds with them. Skin color is not what sensible people vote for!!!

[TBP]

There is even an outside shot at takign Rangel’s seat.

[I still care]

Nice to see.

Of course, as a Republican, I never base my vote on anyone’s color. I am colorblind, unlike the racist Democrat party. I look at their principles and if they understand the constitution was meant to constrict government control over our lives.

[cherry]

this is terrific news and I will support where I can...I've always said that there is a strength in some black men that we NEED in this country to turn things around..

good luck gentlemen....

[cherry]

I sent several hundred dollars to the Deb Honeycutt campaign last year....wonder what she’s up to now...

[fightinJAG]

Yes!

[personalaccts]

how much longer before the “established” liberals start calling them “uncle toms” like they did Clarence Thomas.

[rabidralph]

Apparently she's a perpetual candidate, thanks to you :-)

[1010RD]

We need a new underground railroad, this time above ground and based on the facts of liberal slavery.

Urban poverty is a function of liberal policies, not a natural result of urban living.

[Thunder90]

Black (and Latino) Tea Party Republicans running for Congress...
Lib heads are going to explode in an atomic fashion. They just can’t comprehend this.
