Gehenna would freeze over before we vote for either Obama or McCain. We’re writing in Alan Keyes.

The REALLY funny thing about this election is that at least 95% of all voting Blacks will vote solely on the basis of race. Namely, for B. Hussein Obama.

And, yep, this certainly does show who are the true racists & race driven voters in the US. Answer, Blacks!

Can you imagine ANY jive honkey voting simply because some idiot running to be prez just happens to be White?

Would happen when pigs fly...

“I don’t necessarily like Hitler’s policies; I don’t like much that Adolph advocates, but for the first time in my life, history thrusts me to really seriously think about it,” Williams said.

Just as Hitler has touched white Aryan voters, he has engendered conflicting emotions among white Aryans. They revel over the possibility of an Aryan president but wrestle with the thought that Hitler doesn’t sit beside them ideologically.

“Among white Aryans,” Williams said, “they tell me privately, it would be very hard to vote against Hitler in November.”

I think these black “conservatives” need to speak their conservative minds and encourage all to vote conservatively for John McCain.

Yes, I know he is not the MOST conservative person available, but he is much better than “Bama.

I have lost a lot of respect for JC Watts after reading this, too. Watts is supposedly a Christian and would vote for a candidate based on race despite the fact he is rabidly pro-abortion and pro-homosexual marriage?

Any "black conservative" who votes for Obama is no conservative and has no principles whatsoever.

It's disgraceful to see people like Armstrong Williams and J.C. Watts even contemplate such absurdity when they should be completely denouncing Obama's downright evil policies.

I met Joseph C. Phillips at a pro-life rally, and if he even comtemplates voting for Obama, then he is a complete sell-out to the pro-life cause and will have blood on his hands if he votes for him. Same for Armstrong Williams. Watts always seemed like a bit of a squish and this just reinforces that characteristic.

Michael Steele gets it. James T. Harris gets it. Kudos to them for sticking to their principles over a bogus vanity of electing the "first black president."

There is not one positive aspect to Obama and those who vote for him should be ashamed of themselves.

I've been told that this bumper sticker reinforces people's negative stereotypes of us here on FR. I don't give a damn! I'm right. People are buying an empty book just because they like the cover.blackguy08Political correctness can go to hell.

P.S. If this clown does become our next president; God help us all.

Shame on Armstrong Williams and complements to Michael Steele. This will flush out the real black conservatives from the posers.

J.C. Watts, a former Oklahoma congressman who once was part of the GOP House leadership, said he's thinking of voting for Obama.

The same J.C. Watts I see touted on this forum as a Republican V.P. pick.

WOW - I missed this in the original article...

“J.C. Watts, a former Oklahoma congressman who once was part of the GOP House leadership, said he’s thinking of voting for Obama. Watts said he’s 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. “

JC WATTS????????????!!!!! Ok now it is official - blacks only care about blacks, period end of story. If JC Watts is saying this crap, who I used to admire, then we have really turned the corner in this country. The Diversity hate racists types have won - game over. Skin color is it - its all that matters - I hope Rush picks up on this story.

My bet would be that the Armstrong Williams quote is either quoted incorrectly or taken out of context. I’ve never known Williams not to have a solid, forceful opinion on any subject. I mean that as a compliment.

Exactly my thoughts when reading this. LMAO. Oh no! What ever will we do without .05 % of the GOP electorate going to Obama?

I don’t care about his skin color, there’s nothing historic, nor honorable about electing a communist president.

Apparently, race can only be a factor in voting if you're black. If you're black you can betray everything you claim to believe in just to get some with the same skin color elected.

Williams and Watts make me sick.

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.

When you let your prejudice get in the way of doing what you believe is right you're screwed up...whether that vote is for Obama or against JFK.

Whats the conflict about? Vote for color of skin or vote for principles?

This is unspeakable and possibly just a journalists fantasy. I remember back in 1982 when George Deukmejian ran against Tom Bradley for governor of California. The polls were close and Deukmejian won. I was astounded the next day when the California press lamented that Bradley lost because not all blacks voted for him. I just could not believe that the press believed that voting by race was appropriate. Well I have long since given up expecting an morality from the press.

The only "black" thing about Obama is the father who left when he was 2. He was loved, raised, nurtured, supported and fed by middle class white Americans. The fact that he had to pretend to be a radical hate America type to be elected in South Chicago not withstanding, I believe that he and Michelle, like "Reverend Wright" are just poseurs who live a lie in return for power. They are elitists who went to elitist schools and live elitist lives. They are as truely "black" as Ted Kennedy. Armstrong Williams is a fool by definition; he has been fooled. Clinton may have been the first "Black President", but Obama is just the next elitist white democrat president. Think of him as Woodrow Wilson.

As surely as Reverend Wright retired to a predominantly white golfing community, the Obamas will live white and talk black.

Now they are held up to lead the flock AWAY from the GOP to the DNC.

I guess the media won’t call them Uncle Toms anymore or call them house n*****rs.

Isn’t it ‘awesome’ to go in bed with the ones in the media who used to beat you and berate you so?

I’m ready to be flamed, but I don’t blame them a bit. I am proud to live in a country where a formerly enslaved and segregated minority has a shot at having a President of their race. Granted, Jesse, Al and the race industry will not acknowledge our country’s greatness and just move onto the next grievance, but black conservatives won’t.
