"Steele is a more genuine conservative IMHO"

I would be happy provide comparisons between Mr. Steele and former Rep. Watts.

I think you would agree, while Mr. Steele is a fine man, J.C. is a true conservative and more experienced than is Mr. Steele.

:O)

P

Run, FRED, run!

Rudy’s still way ahead. The thing is, the American people know Rudy. He’s branded. Fred isn’t, at leat not in the same way. Too bad, so sad. The facts are still the fatcs.

Trust me on this one!

I was a big JC Watts fan for a few years. But after personally hearing him say nice things about Hillary and other lefties, and for some liberal causes, I lost a lot of faith in him.

If you already have a comparison drawn up, I would love to see it. I am all for J.C. Watts. Don’t do any extra work, though. :)

I'm a big fan of JC Watts myself, and would love to see him on the ticket, as he's been one of the better communicators of conservative principles we've seen in some time, as we saw in 1997 when he delivered the Republican response to the State of the Union Address. He also has some of my favorite quotes in politics, like ,"As my daddy use to say to me, dogs don't bark at parked cars."

However, if he is chosen to run for Vice President, I want it to be on his own considerable merits, and not simply to appeal to the "black vote". That sort of race pandering is unworthy of the Republican Party, as I think we've prided ourselves in recent years on being the colorblind party that values individuals based on their own qualities, not their membership in a demographic group that can claim historical victimhood.

I agree that J.C. is a bit more conservative and has more experience than Michael Steele. While former Rep. Watts would be my first choice for Fred’s running mate, I would ethusiastically support either of these two good men and talented politicians.

Thats the worst picture of Fred Thompson I have ever seen
