Any Republican or selfdescribed Conservative, regardless of color, who considers voting for Obama is nothing but a liberal fraud.
BS! I'm almost 65, have had a triple-bypass, a stroke and a recent TIA. I'm still virtually blocked in my veins after all this as I have what the cardiologist calls cholesterol disease. I'm kept alive through medication.
I signed up in December for comprehensive medical, including medication for $62/month. No questions asked. I could have gotten it for $23/month if I didn't want the medication supplement. If I can do it this person can.
She sounds like an opportunist looking for a handout.
Wait until she sees her taxes go through the roof when Obama becomes king.
No true CONSERVATIVE Republican has any reason to be “conflicted” at all about whether to vote for Obama.
He is, at best, a National Socialist; at worst, a Marxist.
His philosophy, beliefs and even his thought-patterns run COMPLETELY counter to eveything conservatives stand for and Republicans at least CLAIM to stand for.
Why should they feel “conflicted”? Unless they are racists.
A true Republican would not be conflicted at all.
If they choose to put race ahead of logic, ahead of the damage he would do to this nation then they aren’t Republicans at all, they are are by definition racists as far as I’m concerned.
Indeed.. it must be strange watching the Honkyification of Borat Obama..
She's an OBAMORON ...
Not more of this trash!!
Maybe I’m too young to be racist, but I’d never vote for a candidate simply because he/she is the same race as me.
Sorry, but I’m allergic to low self esteem.
Apparently not as much as she staunchly regards race as the most important factor in this presidential campaign. Idiot.
Black Republicans that vote for Obama are "open minded".
White Democrats that vote for McCain are "racists".
Don’t find many Republican women with 3 names, usually only the democrat women.
Once you go black, you never go back.

It ain't possible.
Anyone calling themselves a Republican, much more a conservative, and also stating they will vote for Obama is a LIAR!
I’m about sick of these people. Let them go vote for a marxist, but let’s tell them not to let the door him them in the ash on the way out.
Armstrong Williams is voting for McCain and has made very clear statements that he opposes Obama’s Marxist policies.
But the talking point is there in the MSM to try to urge all good black Americans to vote for Obama even if they are conservatives. Black conservatives are rumored to be supporting Obama even when they aren’t.
These people are going to have make up their minds to either be 'black' or Republican. I guess MLK was just flapping his gums when he talked about judging someone by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.
If J.C. Watts votes for Obama, then everything he ever said or did under the guise of Republican or Conservative is nothing more than a lie.
And this appeared in the same paper as this piece BY Armstrong Williams.
WILLIAMS: Obamacans - Doing what's right … for all the wrong reasons(Monday, July 7, 2008)
The recent trend among some Republican political types - to pander to Democratic backlash against criticisms of Barack Obama - has been cast by some media pundits as a shrewd way of capitalizing on the runaway popularity currently enjoyed by the Illinois senator. Perhaps most notably exemplified by Oregon Republican Sen. Gordon Smith - whose re-election campaign just weeks ago ran an ad hailing Mr. Smith's collaboration with Mr. Obama on environmental legislation - this strategy is a textbook case of doing right for all the wrong reasons. And ultimately it won't work.[snip]
...handing Mr. Obama the tactical high ground in the general election merely to score points in state and local contests might put the Republicans at a long-term disadvantage - even if they manage to win those races. The reason is simply that attempting to ride Mr. Obama's coattails to victory gives Republicans a poor vantage point to criticize the Obama camp in the unlikely event that he actually takes the White House in November. An Obama administration, if the Rev. Wright episode and other missteps are any indication, is sure to be filled with its share of foibles, follies and just plain wrongheaded policies. What happened to the good old days, last seen at the end of the Clinton administration, when party politicians would rather fall on their swords if necessary to bring about a sea change in politics rather than pander to the opposition because they fear they'll lose their own seats (to another member of the same party)?
[snip]
Moreover, as much as Mr. Obama is a likeable candidate - and I will readily admit that he is - we must not get so starry-eyed over his image that we lose sight of the policies he represents. This is the guy who promised unconditional dialogue with a hostile dictatorship in Iran. He would impose government-funded health care on an already broken federal medical regime. Obamacans, as they are now known, risk losing the farm merely for a night out on the town with the captain of the football team. Is it really worth it?

The Republican Party must not try to don the colors of the Democrats to try and fool the electorate into voting its way. It must present unique, distinguishable solutions to the challenges facing Americans.
While, the Republican Party must adapt to change, it has to stick to principle.
