THis is another site posting the topic. I think JC is caught up in the Euphoria of the time and he being black naturally would give him "pause". But I'm Greek, and I campaigned heavily against Dukakis.

I see here too, that Armstrong Williams is thinking this also. Thank God, that Thomas Sowell is still thinking clearly.

Note to JC:"I have always held you in high esteem. I suspect that you did not pursue the ladder of politics higher than you did, perhaps because you wanted to keep your personal life private. You're an athelete, doubtless there are skeleton, but supporting Obama at thie time in the life of this country is tantamount to betraying all that you stand for as a man, an American.

Oops! Here is the other site...

Notice to all clowns, idiots, and otherwise dumb. Obama is not black. He is more white than black. Stand up and judge the man on the content of his character. Give me a break!

Starting to find out what people are really made of.

"Among black conservatives," Williams said, "they tell me privately, it would be very hard to vote against him in November."

So to them the color of Obama's skin is more important than the content of his character.

As an Americn of Italian heritage, I would NEVER vote for Cuomo and did not support Giuliani.

As a Catholic I supported the mormon, romney.

Identity politics is ridiculous.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I think this is actually a good sign.

Some people are embarrassed to admit to pollsters and/or the public that they don't support the black guy, so they say they do.

In the voting booth, there won't be anybody to show off for.

[Military family member]

Michael Steele, the Republican former lieutenant governor of Maryland who lost a Senate race there in 2006, said he is proud of Obama as a black man, but that "come November, I will do everything in my power to defeat him." Electing Obama, he said, would not automatically solve the woes of the black community.

[Para-Ord.45]

As we have seen in the socialist party aka democrat primaries, in some states over 90% of blacks voted for hussein.

Now, who`s racist again?

[wideawake]

I understand why they feel this way and I do not blame them.

One's heart and one's head are more difficult to disentangle than one likes to admit to one's self.

It's not as if McCain is compelling enough from their perspective to ignore history.

[bmwcyle]

The black bond of stupidity.

[prolifefirst]

JC was interviewed by Hannity a couple of months ago and he rationalized the Rev. Wright scandal.

[Niteranger68]

I like Armstrong, but what he has admitted makes him a racist, no matter who he ends up voting for.

[Mr. Mojo]

"Among black conservatives," Williams said, "they tell me privately, it would be very hard to vote against him in November."

Perhaps some. But I can't imagine the likes of Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Larry Elder, Ward Connerly, Michael Steele, etc. punching the chad of a candidate based solely on the color of his skin.

[MBB1984]

I lost any esteem for JC Watts when I discovered he was a big supporter of affirmative action. I am not surprised that he may (read will) vote Obama. Armstrong Williams is a surprise, however.

[prolifefirst]

Since Armstrong is pro-abortion, I never trusted him.

[Constitution Day]

I hope this isn’t true. I am a huge fan of J.C. Watts.

[Antoninus]

"Among black conservatives," Williams said, "they tell me privately, it would be very hard to vote against him in November."

If you vote race over your personal beliefs, you are not a conservative, and I have no respect for you.

Mario Cuomo may be of Italian extraction, but I would never vote for him under any circumstances.

[prolifefirst]

JC seemed a little thin-skinned when he let Rumsfeld get him angry and leave office over it.

[bpjam]

Anybody want to seriously argue that Obama would be anywhere in politics (AT ALL!!!) if he weren’t black?

He certainly would not have been able to get into that State Senate seat in IL if he wasn’t black. And this blackness made it possible for him to win that uncontested US Senate seat. And without him being black, he would just be John Edwards with big ears.

So what, pray tell, is a good reason for JC, Amstrong or John McWhorther to vote for a guy who advocates socialism? He is black. End of story. Nothing else matters. He could appoint OBL as his Secretary of Defense and black voters would still show up and vote for him and so would the youth vote.

It’s mind-numbing. Only Obama can lose this election. McCain cannot win it because McCain is a potted plant. It’s all about Barry Hussein. Either Barry can slip by for another six months or he gets caught. But nothing about John McCain matters.

I commented on this in another thread earlier today...

Martin Luther King, Jr. is rolling over in his grave right about now (I don’t think he gets much rest, really)...

It is absolutely disgusting that a man would vote based purely on skin color versus content of character... They should be ashamed of themselves - and for those who won’t come out and say these things publicly - they are even worse!!! Closet racists the lot of them...

If the shoe were on the other foot, and white people said something like this about voting for McCain over Obama they’d be shouting about racism - and rightly so! But, of course, it’s not racism when an African-American says and does things like this - oh, no... it CAN’T be racism! What a crock... And, how incredibly sad.

Obama has already done so much damage to race relations - the great “uniter” - yeah, right!
