Great advocate for conservatism, incredibly capable of explaining economics in terms anyone can understand (except maybe liberals), smart, but doesn't have the intellectual firepower of:
Thomas Sowell
One of the smartest Americans alive today, perhaps in any generation, of any color. One of my personal heroes.
Herman Caine
Smart, tough, cool - why doesn't this guy run for office???
Michael Steele has acquitted himself pretty well in this whole Jimmy Carter flap, IMHO. We all had our doubts about him at first, because of his POLITICS, not his race, for all you DU lurkers.
One final thought, just for the record. If JC Watts, Ken Blackwell, or Herman Caine WERE to be elected President, does anyone on this forum doubt they'd be called "n&&&ers" on DU and DailyKos, openly and without repercusson?
As the examples you cite prove, it’s not about race - it’s about values.
Everyone knows that it was the white vote that elected the first black president, and the first black republican party leader - even the senile and despicable peanut farmer.
Let’s not bite on their bait - the best we can do is laugh at their stupid charges.... and ignore it. Giving it any respectability by defending ourselves against it, is just playing their game.
I completely agree. I always thought well of him, thought he stumbled a bit with his role at the RNC, but like the smart guy he is, he figured it out and righted the boat. He's a good man and I'm glad he is where he is.
