I loved it when Watts said "I think the American people are catching on".

I wonder if he, as an 0bama voter, numbers among them.

That was no conservative if he voted for 0bama.

JC Watts was a great leader in Congress. We need to encourage him to come back and bring some of his friends. We need more like him. I expected him to take some key leadership positions in the GOP but he seems to have dropped off the face of the earth.

It's amazing how many people get caught up in this. I work and carpool with a Jewish guy who is very conservative. Yet, he has a fascination with Joe Lieberman. Even though this guy always votes republican, I think he'd vote for Lieberman if Lieberman headed a ticket (though he did not vote for Gore/Lieberman).

Tribalism. Americans aren’t immune from it. By 2050, one in three Americans will be Hispanic.

I’m leery of anything JC Watts does & say after he stated (on Hannity’s radio program) he was considering voting for Obeyme because of the historical significance to blacks and to America.

I've always liked JC, but he, as many voters, cast their ballots for the wrong reasons. The result is a socialist, would-be dictator, usurper sitting in the Oval Office.

I know, me too. He will have to re-earn my trust, but he does get some credit for what he said in this interview.

I heard this exchange and J.C. never said that he was going to vote for Obama. This was early in the campaign and I do not think that in the end he did vote for him.

My post stated (accurately) that he was CONSIDERING voting for Obeyme. That he was even considering speaks volumes. Even Sean called him on it.

“I wonder if he, as an 0bama voter, numbers among them.”

That’s unfortunate, if he did in fact support zer0. I remember Armstrong Williams making rumblings last year about doing the same (”he gives us ‘hope’”).

An interesting battle appears to be looming between zero, Congress and the America people on this. I have heard of poll numbers as high as 80% of Americans saying they don’t want ObamaCare and are happy with their existing health care system/providers. This number even (allegedly) includes some of those who currently have no health care.

Congressional Democrats are beginning to smell the coffee and are starting to run for the hills. zero is throwing down the guantlet on destroying health care with statements like “Don’t bet against us”. The arm twisting in Congres will be fascinating to watch!

In the end, this summer could be when Congress finally eyes the mid-terms next year and decide to vote in favor of their own job security (meaning against ObamaCare), or whether zero and his hired thugs (under the direction of Rahmbo Emmanual) twist enough arms in Congress to get even a watered down ObamaCare bill passed.

This is where WE come in!! Regardless of who your elected representative is or what letter comes after their name (”R”, “D”, “I”, or “CPUSA”), they ALL understand political reality and they ALL like their cushy Washington jobs! Write/call and let them hear from you - as often as you can!! Whether we think so or not, at the end of the day, they hear us when we speak up in sufficient numbers!! And, these days, more of them are hearing us much more clearly than ever before!!

You are right and his statement gave me pause, too. Some of the other posters on the thread seemed to think that he, in the end, DID vote for Obama, and I do not know if that is true.

I agree - my gut tells me he DID vote for Obeyme if he was considering it. His consideration exposes him as NOT a conservative but a racist like Colon powell.
