Orson must be “RACIST”!!!!/sarc.

[MNDude]

“CALLER: I just wanted to make a confession to you. I voted for President Barack Obama, and I happen to be a black American. I’m also a conservative. And I voted for him because he was black.”

A lot more honest than Colin Powell.

[biggredd1]

so the clown voted skin color instead of best candidate. Would he vote a white guy for naacp president.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Caller: Hi! I wanted to make a confession to you. I voted against Barack Obama (and certainly not "for" John McCain), and I happen to be a American (kind of a creamy pinkish tan).

I voted against him not because he is half-black, but because I recognized him as a dorm-room bong-hit radical, a faculty lounge Bolshevik, and I would laugh in the face, while spitting, of any "conservative businessman," black or otherwise, who was too ignorant to see that also.

Screw him and his idiotic apologies.

Looks like Orson is late to the party - plenty of us small business owners figured out Obama in 2007-08. At least he realizes just how badly Obamanomics is crushing our part of the economy. A lot of us aren’t going to make it 4 more years if the Marxist-in-Chief gets gets re-elected.

Needs more honey I suspect ....

[hosepipe]

Probably true of most voters for Zero... they voted for him because he was BLACK...
Simple straight forward to the point.. they made a racist choice..

True of all of them no matter their race or culture..
True no doubt of Tingles Matthews or Bill Maher..
And doubly true of most black people..

Amazing that most racists in the United States ARE BLACK...
Not all but most...

[uncbob]

You don't have to apologize or make excuses for that. Everybody's aware of the historical nature of that election, particularly for black Americans. That's totally understandable

Sorry Dude that ain't no good reason

[DoughtyOne]

Before I address this, I want to make it crystal clear that I am not piling on this guy because he is Black.  Instead I will be piling on him for his logic, for what he has done, and for what he failed to think about before voting for a man so clearly unqualified to be president.

I can say this with a clear concience, because I would vote for a Black man I considered to be qualified.  I supported the Black Republican candidate for the Presidency earlier this year, Herman Cain.  And if I can be big enough (what I actually think of as reasoned enough), to vote for a Black man I think to be qualified, it seems only reasonable to demand Blacks refuse to vote for a Black man they know not to be qualified.  And if there was ever a man not qualified, Barack Hussein Obama was it in 100 foot tall flashing neon lights at the corner of First and Main!

I don't vote for anyone just because they are part of a group.  I don't vote for anyone just because they are a member of my race.  I don't vote for anyone just because someone I like says to.

George Bush and John McCain are clear examples of what I'm talking about.  This year Mitt Romney will be another.  They are not qualified to be president.  My qualifications are quite simple too.  1. The United States comes first and foremost when Conservative ideals are implemented.  2.  If it's good for the citizens of the United States, and it's good for the nation too, then it's sound policy.  3. NO FORIEGN NATIONAL, FOREIGN EFFORT, FOREIGN ORGANIZATION,  or FOREIGN LEADER trumps our citizens or our nation, especially when it comes to sovereignty and the rights granted to us by our Founding Fathers in our Founding U. S. Constitution.

Putting the 'same race' thing aside for a moment, there's another aspect of race that rears it's ugly head here.  If I were Black, you could never convince me to vote for a Black man to be president that could possibly wind up being seen forever as the worst president in the nation's history.  As a Black man (which I am not), I would want a man that could shine, would show the whole world what a fantastic job a qualified Black man could do.  Where was this type of concern when Black people voted for Obama?  If you tell me 90% of Blacks voted for Obama, you are also telling me that 90% of this group wasn't smart enough to think about his candidacy with enough savvy to be too concerned to take a chance on someone so clearly unqualified.  That's a message I would never want to transmit to my fellow citizens, let alone the world at large.  I'm not saying this to put Blacks down here.  I hang my head at the reality of what was done here.  It saddens me beyond belief to realized what fine Black people did in 2008.  It saddens me beyond belief to know other people joined them, making almost as big a mistake.  Many of them were not blinded to the realities by being in of the same race,  none the less, they voted based on race too.  My fellow citizens, this is more shame than I would wish for any of you.  And yet, there it is...  the collective shame you all so richly deserve.  Man this is depressing for me, and I didn't even participate.

"CALLER (to Rush): I just wanted to make a confession to you. I voted for President Barack Obama, and I happen to be a black American. I'm also a conservative."

It almost makes you burst out in tears.  Don't worry brother, you weren't alone by a long shot!  However, you must determine, to NEVER EVER do it again.

I appreciate Rush being polite, but this is something I can not understand.  I would never betray my people to vote in someone who would endanger them to the degree Obama has.  NEVER!  So is this guy going to do the same time when some idot female, Jew, Arab, or other percieved minority or member of a special interest group gets the nomination?  Now there's a scarey thought.  Just damn...

Here's another thought Orson (the caller), did you know you are not really a member of a minority.  You are a citizen of the United States, a man whose vote carries as much weight as any other citizen's vote.  Your vote for president can either be a vote for a well qualified man, or it can be a vote for an unqualified one.  It isn't a Black vote.  It's a racial neutral vote.  If the candidate is Black and good, I'll join you to vote for them.  If the candidate is White and good, I'm going to expect you, as my equal, to vote for the White guy.

Deal?

[MNDude]

really, that kind of thinking makes absolutely makes no sense to me. When Obama was running I was thinking “OMG! That guy’s going to increase our national debt, increase unemployment, increase taxes, give money to his liberal cronies, he’ll might legalize 20 million illegal immigrants, he’ll give federal funding for abortions, advance the homosexual agenda, and weaken our military, and he’ll be responsible for making life time appointments to the Supreme Court. There are so many serious issues that it makes my stomach hurt.” How does someone say “COOOL...A black guy. I vote for him”

[mykroar]

But, but, but....doesn’t he know 0bama’s got his back?!?

[Sarajevo]

Orson:

Dumbass

[Rennes Templar]

“I happen to be a black American. I’m also a conservative.”

Not a whole lot of those in the voting public.

Now when they start calling in and saying, “I happen to be a black American. I’m also a liberal, and I’m not voting for him”, then we’re looking at a landslide. And it well may happen.

[PapaBear3625]

CALLER: Oh, when the economy just continued to get worse. When we're right at the debt that we cannot pay.

That's the bottom line. People tend to vote their wallets. With the black constituency, that revolves around entitlements (for those on welfare), expansion of government (for government employees) and affirmative action (for those seeking employment). They will vote for candidates who promise things that will benefit them.

Now, just because they're souring on Obama, does not mean that they are now fans of the Republicans, except for those in the private sector who depend on a robust economy for their survival.

This is a great story, even though it has been met by some very shortsighted responses. I have news for some of my fellow Freepers: Converts - and lots of them - may be the only hope for turning this country around. To cite two examples from history, the Apostle Paul and Ronald Wilson Reagan were two great leaders who got it very wrong before arriving at the truth.

If those of us who saw the light early on cannot accept and team up with those whom we might win over to our side, then we will never sustain a majority. A productive, tax-paying small businessman has admitted that he violated his principles in favor of his feelings in 2008 - but vows he will not be fooled again. How is that not a good thing? What's not to celebrate when another pair of eyes is opened?

"I'm aboard, pull up the ladder!" is the childish response of one who believes that nobody who arrives after him has any right to climb on. I'm glad Orson has come back to his senses - and I hope there will be a lot more just like him to join us on November 6.

Today is D-146...

[Impy]

CALLER: I just wanted to make a confession to you. I voted for President Barack Obama, and I happen to be a black American. I'm also a conservative. And I voted for him because he was black. I know that may offend some people, but it wouldn't be realistic in my opinion that a minority could ascend to the presidency. So I would have voted for the first minority whether he'd been Jewish, or Asian, or Hispanic.

RUSH: I understand.

I DON'T understand, thanks for electing him you nincompoop idiot. And he DOES damn well need to apologize for voting for stupid reasons like the color of the the SOB's skin. That how retarded people vote. Policy matters, nothing else does. Not skin pigment (Obama ain't no decedent of American slaves so there is NO shared culture just skin tone).
