>>JC Watts is not undecided.
He was on Sean Hannity radio yesterday - and that’s what he said.
“How can a minister support someone who supports partial birth abortion”
NO, Osama supports killing a child after he/she is delivered full term.
see #14
“’Rats. RINOs. What the heck’s the diff?
We don’t need a third party. We need a SECOND one.”
WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!!!
Watts lost all of my respect by just mentioning that he might vote for Obama. He will never get that respect back. Even if he doesn’t vote for Obama the fact that he ever considered it based entirely on race is disgusting. Surprising and disgusting.
The other two RINO’s were always liberal losers who aren’t liked by Republicans or Democrats.

The mayoral election in Fairbanks is a non-partisan affair. But as someone whose vote helped elect Whitaker mayor in the first election when he became mayor, I can say with good knowledge it was the Democrats and Independents that got him elected since he was running against a much more conservative Republican who he didn't want to see in the job. Needless to say, Whitaker is a very smart, fairly non-ideological guy--more of a small business, small/good government Republican. As to his support of Stephens and Young...If you are the mayor of Fairbanks you don't **** off them that brings you home the federal dollars until they are out of office.

Whitaker doesn't have the "intellectual capacity" to recognize "intellectual capacity". If Barry was such an intellect, how come he never published any intellectual papers during his 'distinguished' career at Harvard? We could check out his senior thesis, but he seems to have 'lost' it.
I think you’re probably right on that. It’s probably all about the oil for that guy at least... Plus, many of those in rural parts of the Mid-west still think of the Dem. part being like it was before the 60s or so - before all the huge socialist programs came in vogue. I don’t think a lot of them realize how much the party has changed (because after all the ones they know probably haven’t that much...). Of course, this is all observation from the people my mom grew up around, so maybe it’s past those times already? I just can’t help but think some of the “democrat” farmers would be really, really shocked if they actually sat down with their “big city” counterparts and talked about a few things - I think it’d be a real shock, IMHO. It’s not like the media is giving them the truth.
I saw two other clowns on O’Reilly last night who are “Republicans” who are at least “considering” Obama. One was a former Reagan worker, and neither he nor the other one (running for Congress in Oregon)could really come up with a valid reason for supporting him other than his persona. I’d bet Reagan is flipping over in his grave hearing someone who worked for and supported him is voting for a socialist.
That was a leech not a slug, although I have seen some 6 inch slugs in Michigan.
So what if some Republicans endorse Obama? There were Jews serving in the highest levels of the Nazi government. Guess oddity is not a new phenomena.

I had no idea Watts was a racist... for skin color can be his ONLY motivation. Watts will never be more than dog poop on my shoe. Sad.

Time after time year after year, any person that gets a Republican nomination gets the support of RINOS. Since only 25 percent of voters are conservatives, every successful Republican must get the support of RINOs and over half the independent voters to win. So the RINOS get out there and work to elect the Conservative as well as RINO candidates.
After the conservative gets elected the RINOs come asking for some votes. They tend to get them. It is amazing. Conservatives who get elected with the help of RINOs tend to try to repay them for their support. So they give the RINOS a vote or five.
Meanwhile the RINOS that got elected with zero conservative help see zero reasons to tick off RINOS and INDEPENDENTs to please people who never voted for them. So the elected RINOS tell the Conservatives to shove it.
Conservatives never seem to figure out that elected officials try to please the people that elect them, and could care less about those that didn't elect them.
Now that the "Almost Conservative" elected official has helped the RINOs the Conservatives desert him and the RINOS work even harder to get the now "Almost RINO" candidate reelected. And if they have success the former conservative is now a RINO.
It is so simple. When conservatives refuse to vote for a RINO, that RINO has to move to the left to get 51 percent of the votes.
By refusing to support RINOS conservatives ensure that NO RINO would ever try to repay conservatives with votes.
Reagan fully understood the situation. He often said his 11th commandment was speak no ill of a fellow Republican. He was talking about RINOS. He also said an elected official that was with you 80 percent of the time was not your enemy. The elected official who was against you 100 percent of the time was your enemy. But he could never get Conservatives to believe him.
Fortunately for RINOS, Conservatives never learn. GET RID OF THE RINOS they demand. WE WANT TO NEVER BE ABLE TO ELECT ANY CONSERVATIVE TO ANY POSITION is what they are really demanding.
RINOS are about 10 percent of the voters... But they elect about 40 percent of the Republicans. They could not do that if Conservatives ever figured out what it takes to win. Sadly Conservatives think the way to win is to constantly lose...elected support.
TONS OF PEOPLE GET ELECTED WITH ZERO CONSERVATIVE SUPPORT. NO ONE GETS ELECTED WITH ONLY CONSERVATIVE SUPPORT!!!
At any given time their are about 30 to 35 Conservatives in the Senate and there are about 30 to 35 liberals in the Senate. The remaining 30 to 40 Senators are made up of RINOs and DINOs. The party with the most elected INOs is in control. If there are 35 Conservatives and 25 RINOS the Conservatives are in control They have most of the chairmanships. They select the majority leader. They control the agenda. They have to do a few things to keep the RINOS happy but that is as good as it ever gets. That is never enough for conservatives. So the conservatives see to it the RINOS are replaced with DINOS and the left is back in control.
When conservatives drive RINOS our of the party, the result is the liberals and their DINOS are in total control.
Conservatives must have flunked math. They constantly think that 25 percent of the voters can cast 51 percent of the votes. More likely they think that if the voters ever really understood them they would become conservatives. And that is just delusional. RINOS and DINOS know what conservatism is .. They just don't buy it. IT IS THE REAL WORLD! But conservatives don't believe in the real world. Conservatives flout their conservatism and lose. Liberals hide their liberalism and win. Which group do you think understands they don't have enough supporters to win? Conservatives tend to think that if liberals don't have enough support to win, then they must have. But that is not true. The balance of power has always been in the center in the USA. It is only a matter of the number of elected DINOs vs elected RINOs.
Conservatives are like a basketball team trying to play with only 3 players because their other 2 players were not all that good. So they kicked them off the team. The kicked off players go play for the other team. So then their team has 3 great players playing against 7 players and wonder why 2 of their players are always double teamed and their third player is triple teamed. They get mad at their 3 players because they never score any points. And there are always 4 not very good opposition players who are left unguarded and who score easy layup after easy layup.
