I would like add that I am extremely proud that Michael Steele, a fellow conservative and pro life Catholic, has remained true his principles and MartinLuther Kings dream. Thank you Michael.
If they’re voting for Obama they were never conservatives to begin with, just opportunists looking to appeal to conservative voters.
J.C's always been a bit of whiner, but I just can't believe that his spiritual beliefs will allow him to support Obama.
I thought this might be Scrapple Face, but its CNN
Same thing...
If they claim to be conservative and are having a hard time deciding whether to vote for Obama or not, then they are not conservatives at all.
"Among whites,", Williams said, "they tell me privately, it would be very hard to vote for him in November."
The 2nd statement would be decried as racist, and a sign of how whites even today can't see past color to what a man is really like.
The first statemeny by Williams is racist, a sign that blacks cannot see past a person's color to what they really are about.
Martin Luther King must be rolling over in his grave.
Watts said he's still a Republican, but he criticizes his party for neglecting the black community. Black Republicans, he said, have to concede that while they might not agree with Democrats on issues, at least that party reaches out to them.Race trumps philosophy?"And Obama highlights that even more," Watts said, adding that he expects Obama to take on issues such as poverty and urban policy. "Republicans often seem indifferent to those things."
And how does the democratic party reach out to blacks? What have they done for blacks, other than to keep them oppressed, poor, and dependent on the government?
And now Watts says that "urban policy" is an important philosophy?
I am a black conservative Republican. Definitely not the norm in California.
And I am here to tell you right now that there is NO BLOODY BUGGERING WAY IN HELL that I am voting for that Marxist, Abortion-Loving, Tax Raising, Appeasement Encouraging CREEP named...oh yeah, can’t say his name, that would be “racist” and an “unfair attack.” (did I mention “divisive”?)
J.C. Watts, a former Oklahoma congressman who once was part of the GOP House leadership, said he's thinking of voting for Obama.Watts said he's still a Republican, but he criticizes his party for neglecting the black community. Black Republicans, he said, have to concede that while they might not agree with Democrats on issues, at least that party reaches out to them.
"And Obama highlights that even more," Watts said, adding that he expects Obama to take on issues such as poverty and urban policy. "Republicans often seem indifferent to those things."
J.C. Watts, so often praised by "real" conservatives and thought of by them as a potential national candidate on a Republican ticket (because he's black and talks a good conservative game), reveals the truth. For all but a tiny, tiny minority of blacks, race ALWAYS trumps anything else, but they pretend it isn't so. In the case of Watts, as he contemplates stabbing Republicans in the back, he has to cover his racist desires with shop-worn charges that Republicans "neglect" the so-called black community.
Thank God for people like Michael Steele, who do not jettison their loyalties and political beliefs for racial (or other) chimeras. In this article, he is quoted as saying he is proud of Obama as a black man, but that "come November, I will do everything in my power to defeat him." Electing Obama, he said, would not automatically solve the woes of the black community.
He lied.
His email is sage@larryelder.com. I'd be interested to get his take on it.
Carefully chosen black Republicans, I notice. And McWhorter is a registered Democrat, so who is he kidding? CNN and the Slimes love this kind of subject.
Black principles.
Next question.
Who you calling “us”?
That's because of your own bigotry, not racial bigotry in this case, but one of a more covert, insidious type. Both Watts and Williams said exactly why they are thinking of voting for Obama, and McCain has nothing to do with it. Watts, Williams and other black so-called conservatives are voting for Obama because of his skin color. At least they're up front about it.
I have no doubt you're someone who runs around thinking you are a "real" conservative. You obviously are the type who hates candidates who agree with you, say, 70% of the time, and reserve your worst vitriol and, yes, bigotry, for such a candidate. In the meantime, you give those who agree with you maybe 5%, or less, of the time a total pass.
Neglecting? I think this Watts parasite wants a Republican there to bathe and spoon feed him.
Frankly, I’m not surprised.
A tiny, cynical part of me is thinking that because Watts is trying to start up a “Black News Channel,” he doesn’t want to turn off the majority of his potential viewership by NOT supporting the black candidate.
Just a theory.
Allen West's response to: Black Conservatives Conflicted on Obama Campaign
Allen West is a Black Conservative candidate running for the U.S. House of Representatives from Florida.
Well you are certainly right about CNN. But I’m still upset about JC, he needed to come out with a strong statement of Republican support regardless of who or what our nominee is, it is the second time he’s disappointed me, the first being when he didn’t come out loudly against affirmative action. One more time......and I’ll not only not be in his cheering section I’ll act as a memory bank of these things.
