There are several black conservatives that won't touch bambi with a 10 foot pole, Thomas Sowell being one of them. Its sad to see Williams and Watts say these things, on the other hand, they have not said they WOULD vote for bambi, just that they are considering it. I doubt if they will though.

“thoughtful, conservative blacks like Armstrong Williams and JC Watts saying they might vote for him?”

Well, in that case they obviously aren’t either thoughtful or conservative.

Pretty pathetic. Real conservatives have principles.

So, I suppose it is OK for me to say I am voting for the white candidate because I am loyal to the white folk?

None of this gives one much hope.

Armstrong explains his position by saying, ‘’I don’t necessarily like his [Barack’s] policies; I don’t like much of what he advocates, but for the first time in my life, history thrusts me to really seriously think about it.’’ JC Watts, former Republican congressman from Oklahoma,

Oh I am very sad about this.

A racist is a person who wouldn’t vote for someone who is not their race.

A racist is a person would ONLY vote for a person who is their race.

I am disappointed, and you are correct, it is pure and simple racism.

You can bet J.C. Watts does not about Oprah’s Obams’s socialistm. But blackness trumps that for him, even though he was elected by whites!

Blacks play ethnic politics to the hilt and they are absolutely within their rights to do so, but if whites voted for Hillary or McCain in those percentages they would to, but there would be hell to pay in the media.

If JC Watts and Armstrong Williams want to vote for him knowing how far left he is it shows they were never Conservatives at all but simply used it as an angle.

People who believe the “Post Racial” song and dance are the ones who believe that Obama did not know of Rev. Wrights hateful comments while being a member of his church for 20years.

Obama is a Pied Piper leading a lot lemmings to the river.

J.C Watts comments did not set well with me.

I have met and spoken with Watts and have always considered him a strong Christian.

I must therefore reconsider some of my rather strong support for J.C as a potential Vice Presidential candidate.

I believe those folks in Zimbabwe fell for this voting for same skin color crap and you can see where it has gotten a country once known as the bread basket of Africa.

Now Zimbabwe is known as nothing more than a third world country with it’s folks starving and hand out to the world.

A country where dissent and or speaking words not politically correct can land you in prison or worse in a mass grave.

J.C. I am a self professed Christian believing in Jesus Christ and I do not think that Jesus would APPROVE OF ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS ABORTION AND SAME SEX MARRIAGE.

Just the lowly opinion of a red state wannabe.
