Stunner: J. C. Watts Considers Obama

From The Associated Press ~ J.C. Watts, a former Oklahoma congressman who once was part of the Republican House leadership, said he is thinking of voting for Democrat Barack Obama.

Watts said he is 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.”

Hell, the Republican party doesn’t even reach out to conservatives................

The Republican Party has tried many times to reach out to Blacks, and every time they get slapped down by the so-called Black leaders and Black organizations, and Blacks continue to vote overwhelmingly for Dems. Sorry, I have close Black conservative Christian friends, who even asked me to counsel their youngest son for several months, but this news makes me ill.

I would love to vote for Margaret Thatcher, so I'm not sexist. I would love to vote for Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Shelby Steele, or Ken Blackwell, so I'm not a racist. Principles should determine our vote. Racism or sexism is not a conservative problem, however it is a liberal obsession.

like when the big bad epublicans neglected them back in the 50s and 60s and pushed thru civil rights legislation against dem challenges. How’s that Great Society working out for all the poor black neglected as well?

Oh yeah, Obama deserves a good look, , that’s the ticket. (/gorp)
