Conservative Blacks Leaning Towards Obama

From OneNewsNow.com.

Well, I guess that would just make them blacks then, not conservatives. Did it even once cross my mind to vote for Hillary because she is a woman and I, too, am female? Nope.

My biggest disappointment? J. C. Watts. I would have never dreamed this, even in my worst nightmares that he would be this racist:

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.

“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.”

How, exactly does the DemonRat party reach out to the black community? By preaching to them that they are not as smart or capable as whites, and the only way they can achieve anything is through affirmative action? By giving them government handouts, with the message, “Because we know you can’t make it on your own.”?

Am I to apologize for being part of a party that doesn’t make distinguishments based on the color of someone’s skin?

At least some fellow conservatives still remain true to the cause versus their skin color:

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.

“I think people who try to put this sort of messianic mantle on Barack’s nomination are a little bit misguided,” he said.

Me too Mr. Steele.  :)

    Wow, that is really disappointing. I always liked Watts and hope he comes around in his thinking.

    Democrats are the ones propping up the abortions that kill more blacks in a week (or even a day?) than the Klan has done to date.

    Democrats have had virtual monopolies on inner city schools and politics for 50 years, and the black communities are still loyal to them?

    The Democrats use and abuse the black community, but the Republicans have been lousy at marketing to them.

    Choosing to vote or not vote for a candidate based only on the color of the candidate’s skin is as racist as it gets.

    Hi Neil,
    Yes, I agree with you regarding Watts. It was like a stab in the heart when I read that about him.

    Hi Angel,
    Yes, we have been terrible about getting online over the summer. It’s amazing that I’ve even posted three times this week. And, I have been stopping by your place … I just need to take the time to leave you a note!

    Hi Richard,
    I agree. Truly, that’s what I despise about the DemonRats, they constantly judge people by their skin color.

    Well J.C. Watts plummeted off my political radar with his racism over issues statement.

    JC Watts decision is disappointing. Interesting way you put it, though, him going from a ‘conservative black’ to just another black. Evidently, most blacks are racist in the sense that they will vote for a candidate based on race alone. But I have to wonder, what if it was Condoleeza Rice that was running instead of Obama?

    ptg,

    I think the point is that a vote for Obama is proof that one is not conservative, or at the very least his conservative leanings are so far less important to him than his racism that he would cast a vote for a not-so-closet Marxist to become President of The United States of America.

    If Condoleeza Rice were running against Obama, how would J.C. Watts be in the position of saying he might vote based on race? Personally, I would have to hold my nose as tight for her as I will have to for McCain, but a vote for either liberal Republican is not the same as the low level one must stoop in order to vote for Barack Hussein Obama!

    Sorry, I re-read and noticed the “instead of Obama.” Would Watts be stating that he might be voting for Rice due to her race? Would Rice be running as a Marxist and if so would Watts still say he might vote for her based on race?
