Larry Elder won’t buy into this.

Some of us have been trying to tell people that JC Watts is not even close to what he pretended to be especially in his personal life. He backed a Dem for Corporation Commissioner in the last election in OK. Corp Commissioner Bob Anthony can now go around saying “I Told YOU So!” but he has too much class to do that.

The RNC and NRCC could care less about any of outside the beltway which is why we need to support candidates directly and ignore those two organizations. NRSC has done a much better job ensuring our Senate candidates have huge war chests.

Was doing research for a new group about to be announced and discovered NRCC is giving $98 to candidates. Give me a break!

“Looky there” “Wez finally got us a brother in power”

“Now wez can come out the woodwork”

Gee, I hope that didn’t sound bad!

Overlooking ones principle to vote based strickly on race IMO, is wrong and worse than voting for McCain because he’s got an *R* by his name.

Gee, I thought you used to think Watts was the best thing to come out of Oklahoma. You sure change your mind quickly.

Thanks for posting that because it is being played out right here in this election. I don’t support Obama because he is so far left and I don’t care what race, nationality or anything else. He is a flaming liberal who doesn’t like the military. I didn’t like Carter for the same reason.

I guess it makes no difference if one is a Marxist enemy of capitalism. All it matters is the suit you wear, the looks of your smile and the color of your skin. It looks as if the easy road to being an elected candidate is to get a skin color alteration and go as a black. Is this how cross-dressing got started?

Changed my mind two years ago when he came out and supported a Democrat and he started doing infomercials plus learned about his personal background which I was shocked.

I haven’t supported him since the 2006 and if you looked at my posts you would have seen me on threads saying you don’t want him for VP.

“J.C. Watts, a former Oklahoma congressman who once was part of the Republican House leadership, said he is thinking of voting for Democrat Barack Obama.”

J.C., you’re a simple minded racist POS.

The Republican Party has tried many times to reach out to Blacks, and every time they get slapped down by the so-called Black leaders and Black organizations, and Blacks continue to vote overwhelmingly for Dems. Sorry, I have close Black conservative Christian friends, who even asked me to counsel their youngest son for several months, but this news makes me ill.

I would love to vote for Margaret Thatcher, so I'm not sexist. I would love to vote for Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Shelby Steele, or Ken Blackwell, so I'm not a racist. Principles should determine our vote. Racism or sexism is not a conservative problem, however it is a liberal obsession.

“And Obama highlights that even more,” Watts said, adding that he expects Obama to take on issues such as poverty and urban policy. “Republicans often seem indifferent to those things.”

No, it’s just that conservatives don’t believe that handouts will solve problems that were in large part generated by handouts. If the government is in any way responsible for the breakdown of the black family and culture it is because the governement has become the new messiah. Demanding the excising of Judeo-Christian principles and their basis from every aspect of the public square in exchange for financial considerations. Voting for a new dim-messiah will only exacerbate the problem.

I’ve presently lost any hope I held out for Watts.

Would that be about the time you claimed we supported Hillary since we weren’t supporting your boy Rudy?

More likely a man easily led, first by GOP leadership then by weak-kneed principles and politicians like Obama..

I've wondered why when Watts is on Sean's show, he seems very reluctant to criticize Obama in any way. I wondered if he was really leaning in his direction.

JC Watts just following in the oringinal politcial whore's footsteps, David Gergen.

The Democrats has done everything to hold down the blacks, and yet the blacks keep on voting for Dems.
And anyone who vote according to their race is a Racist.

There are many conservatives who are phony,thinking of so
called Christians who support abortion and homosexuality. The idea that a black conservative would go against his values and beliefs because of a black candidate running for President,is a hypocrite. Obama is not just a black candidate running for president,he is the most liberal senator in this country. That is why I would never vote for him,not because he is black. Personally I wish we had a conservative black candidate to run on the GOP ticket instead of McCain. Racism is very much alive in this country and contrary to what the msm says that it is all about whites,it seems we have racism openly among blacks. This is another case for people trying to be PC and not what is best for the country.
