Obviously Watts is no conservative, even if we once thought he was.

You know what, I’ve had an uneasy feeling for a long time about Watts. I heard him on Hannity’s program a few days ago and it only confirmed my gut feeling. If this is true, he obviously puts race before values.

It’s already not BS. We shouldn’t be having to fight for JC’s vote. He’s gone. Let him go.

I can almost understand a Black person voting for a obama. But how does someone that claims to be a conservative vote for Obama. They are going against everything Martin Luther King Jr. preached. They are voting for the color of their skin, not the content of their charachter!

*he criticizes his party for neglecting the black community*

Hellooooo, JC, take a look at the last two Secretary of States and several other cabinet members, etc.

Folks with this type of thinking should be a European-American who are the minority here in Calif. while we
fund with our tax money a few million or so illegals along with other third world folks.

This ought to go over well with everyone who thought he’d make a good running mate for the turd we’ve got at the top of the ticket. Actually, given this story, they might be a good match...

No surprise...race always trumps ideology. Powell has hinted he'll vote for B. Hussein and it wouldn't surprise me if conservatives like Condi and Steele did likewise, without publicly endorsing him.

It’s hard to believe he could show his utter ignorance with a statement like that.
