J.C. Watts would be great. I love that guy.
Is this supposed to excite conservatives somehow?
Impeccable conservative voting record. Religious, solid Tea Party type guy. Originally a physician (orthopedic surgeon) who got into politics to fight socialized medicine. Great choice in my book, if we want a fighter, and not a RINO country-club lush.
There were lots of people (including some here) who thought Steele was a good idea too....
Watts is a RINO....and probably voted for Obama TWICE!!!
nuff said when one chooses based on skin color.'
That's exactly right. I lost all respect for him when he made that announcement. I even tried to listen to him when Hannity allowed JC to do his radio show for several days, but I couldn't get the fact JC sounded exactly like Colon Powell.
I live in OK...
He's a GOP fraud.
Seems like more than 20 years.....
You are here...but yet you don't know J.C. Watts voted for Obama..probably TWICE!!!
No wonder our country is headed down the tubes..........
I can’t believe any real conservative would even consider supporting him. How many times are WE going to play the phoney “race card” using blacks who aren’t essentially, deep-down conservative, as the “face” of the party? Besides being utterly cynical, it’s an insult to all the real conservatives who are trying to hang on to their support of the Republican side of the one-party system because “it’s all we have”. He will either want to take the party in the same direction as the rats-pandering for votes (which won’t work, the rats got there first), or if he was a true conservative, black rat voters will simply give him the “Uncle Tom” treatment, you can bet on it.
How about the Republicans try reaching out to the needs of their white base for a change-God knows no one else is doing it.
Anyway, it’s all academic to me, I’m though with the Republicans-they’ve already played their last games with me, the conservative, winding up holding the bag. Let them reach out to pygmy lesbian crossdressers for all I care, that’s where they’re headed-let them have a a man married to his goat for the head of the RNC-the identity politics potential is endless.
What they no longer have is this conservative. I’m returning to my true apolitical fundamentalist roots (not to be confused with the evangelical Moral Majority types. We were never a part of that)
If the Republican Party wants to jerk their...knees everytime a black man, no matter how shallow his conservative principles, expresses an interest in being the next “great black hope” of the GOP, that will be their clown show.
Maybe Colin Powell will throw his hat in the ring. His credentials are as “sound” as Watts’.
Oh but he’s black and he can pander to blacks, and if he demonises white conservtives enough they might even not give him the “Uncle Tom” treatment! Wait, which party committee does he want to be head of?
The GOP is a joke.
Just some days? I’ve come to the firm conclusion that there’s no hope through the political system, because the two parties are just different wings of one turkey now. The GOP has decided to pander to minorities for all it’s worth, seeing as how it’s worked so well for the rats. So now they can both promise things on the backs of white taxpayers, and infringe upon our freedom a little more everyday to do it.
I opt out of the system. I will practice separation on my own with my family, and starve the beast all I can.
And you sound like a Liberal. Period. In the posts you made up to now...
Sorry....but that's my impression.
FWIW- you sounded like you "just wanted" to see J.C. in the position because he's black!?!?!?!
What's that make you????
Exactly, just like Colin Powell was everyone’s hero and the great black hope only to turn true to form and support Obozo solely on the basis of race.
When will rank-and-file Republicans learn?
Yes to JC Watts.
And run Col. West for POTUS next time around too.
He voted for OBAMA...at least once.
You live in his district...and didn't know that????
I live in Osage County...and knew it.
Oddly, isn’t there another Tom Price from OK in the House? Would he be Watts’s successor?
We have many so-called FReeper's spouting that J.C. Watts is an awesome, great, perfect person to lead the GOP!
Yet most here have no freaking idea what J.C. has done in the past....HE VOTED FOR OBAMA..in '08...and I'd bet you he voted for OBAMA in '12..!!
Don't matter to me....one vote or two...J.C. Watts isn't what the GOP wants doing anything for them.
WAIT..........wait just a minute. Maybe that's EXACTLY what the GOP wants!?!?!?!
Interesting....how many so-called FReepers are all for this..................
