“We are of the same generation. He’s African American and I’m an American of African descent. We both have lovely wives and beautiful children,” Harris said. “Other than that, we’ve got nothing in common. I hope he loses every state.”

Does she swell up with pride when asked about Mugabe?

I'd like to hear her opinion of Winnie Mandela.

Conservatives of any color should not be conflicted about McCain. Maybe Black republicans are.

I guess if BLACK ‘CONSERVATIVES’ can vote for OBAMA because of RACE - I can vote for McCain because he is WHITE! (No, he is not the best candidate out there - but any vote NOT for McCain is a VOTE for OBAMA!

For some reason I am reminded of my 88 year old grandma (4 ft.9, 91 lbs) back when JFK was running. She was a die-hard Alabama Dem but couldn’t vote for Kennedy because he was a Catholic. I think it was the first time she didn’t vote.

For most blacks its all about being black. Diversity programs have only fostered more hate and division in this country - and is clearly evident in the black sentiment of hate for whites and white elitists hate for America.

"I don't necessarily like his policies; I don't like much that he advocates, but for the first time in my life, history thrusts me to really seriously think about it,"

Me too. As a white, Vietnam era veteran, I guess I'm going to have to think about voting for McCain. I want to see history made by McCain becoming the FIRST white, Vietnam era POW to ever be elected President of the United States.

I still don’t know if I can make myself vote for McCain

A vote NOT for McCain (not voting, 3rd party) is a vote FOR Obama.

“Black Conservatives” and “Obama” don’t go in the same sentence. They’re simply not Conservative if they’re voting for Obama.

And yeah, who needs values when you have race?

Unbelievable to hear these black conservatives thinking this way. I don’t care about his skin color, there’s nothing historic, nor honorable about electing a communist president.

So what would cause someone to not vote for Obama?

His support for abortion?

Gay marriage?

An activist supreme court which would push both those agendas?

An FCC that would introduce censorship (against “hate”, but eventually against religion)?

Restrictions on free speech in the public forum (as in Canada and Britain)?

Does any of that trump race?

Does the black church support all those agendas?

Yes?

On the other hand, it’s not like they even have a white conservative to vote for in this election either.

When the RNC foisted McCain on us, they created a recipe for disaster.

Blacks have consistently voted Democratic by +90% in presidential elections. Now that one is exempt from the charge of racism if a black supports a black for reasons of race, the turnout will be even greater for Obama.

And, to think we condemn white people for not wanting vote based on race while implying its okay for blacks to do so.

If Armstrong Williams can't vehemently oppose this Marxist, I suggest he find another line of work.

Judging the candidate by the color of his character.

The first affirmative action president.

He will undoubtedly replace Jimmy Carter as the worst president in the history of the Republic, but what does it matter as long as history is being made?

Bumper Sticker:

OBAMA
BECAUSE HE'S BLACK

“Why would mccain even try to get the black vote?”

Because McCain is a filthy panderer who would rather seek the hand of the racist LaRaza types than conservatives who would walk the streets for him. Its all about race, gender and sexual preference for RINOs and Dems. Conservatives and Christians dont matter because McCain believes they will vote for him no matter what he does. The downfall started with Bush Sr., a globalist, and has culminated with McCain. Say goodbye to the country known as America - I doubt we will be able to post our thoughts on FR after the next election.
