Dick Greco hearts McCain
Former Tampa Mayor Dick Greco, a Democrat who pretty consistently endorses Republicans, has been named Honorary Florida "Citizens for McCain" Co-Chair. "I am a registered Democrat, but when it comes to voting I consider the individual," said Greco in a statement. "I have listened to all of the debates, and with the challenges facing our country, I think it is important that we choose someone with the experience and integrity necessary to keep our country safe and fix our broken economy. Senator McCain's credibility, judgment and toughness is the change we need."

BREAKING NEWS!
"McCain A'Kissin Up to Infamous Florida Dems!"
Today, at the home of Presumptive Republican Presidential Nominee, Senator McCain agreed to expand on his recent strategy to place distance between he and President Bush, and address Global Warming…
When this reporter asked the Candidate how he planned to separate himself from the current administration, the Republican nominee replied, “Bush!… never heard of him. Oh, you mean those funny looking green things out in my yard?… I’m having them pulled tomorrow because they keep sticking their tongue out at me.”
I asked the Candidate how his Foreign Policy differed from George Bush’s?, “That’s easy; watch!”… said McCain excitedly, and at that, the Senator began to light firecrackers and throw them at a board game of Risk he had set up in his den yelling, “Die you little bastards; die! That’ll teach you to mess with Lil’ Johnny!”
I also asked the Candidate his plans to address the growing problem of Global Warming. The Senator replied, “Easy! just install more ceiling fans and get some more ice cream… ooops, I p’d myself again.”
Our interview was suddenly interrupted when the Candidate abruptly ran to his widow, accused his garden hose of stealing his rubber duck, and threatened to fire his mailbox for flipping him the finger. The Senator then turned to our crew and yelled, “You cut in line and I’m telling the teacher!”
Confused, I turned to the Senators wife with a puzzled look. She graciously thanked us for coming a suggested we leave quickly. Of course we complied, and as we closed the door behind us, we heard the Candidate yell, “Mommy; bring me my damn pudding and some more firecrackers… here puppy… here puppypuppypuppy… who stole my toaster!”
This reporter was very concerned… film at eleven!

Dick Greco is to politics what slow white guys are, or were , to the game of basketball. That is to say, he thrived in the cracker bygone days of the Jim Crow South. He was a disgraceful and corrupt and unvirtutous man who cashed out university Square mall. He would not have been an assitant ward leader in a real, non-third world- American City. He can back McCain and join all you other displaced southern white males in your comong and deserved nucelar winter

Isn’t Greco the perv who use to grope on that chick on Channel 8 all the time? Oh, he’s backing a Republiperv… never mind.

Wow this is major. I've been waiting on who Greco would support.
Now, I'd also like to know who Mayor Naugle of Ft. Lauderdale will support, and former Ag Comm. whateverhisname Crawford is going for.
Only then will I make up my mind. For now I'm so confused, bc I'm a Dem who loves the war in Iraq, loves the oil companies, hates the environment, and wants to continue with this wonderful Bush Republican economy.

Dick Greco, former four term mayor of Tampa, is respected and remains a very popular person in the Tampa Bay area. He knows everybody and everybody knows him, and is an opinion leader. He is a life long Democrat, but calls them as he sees 'em. In this case, he believe Sen. John McCain is who America needs. You may disagree with his position, but to attack him personally is beyond the pale.
