"He wrote a book called” What Color is a Conservative?”"

Perhaps that should have been, "What color is money?"

So...........In the end

After everything is finished, after all of the arguments are settled, does it all only get down to the color of the skin?

llandres - I don't think Armstrong and Walter Williams are related - one is from Philly, the other from S.C. - Walter is more of a libertarian economist than a Republican, and I would be utterly shocked if he supported Obama - Armstrong is more of a cultural, compassionate Conservative - those guys are ALWAYS drifting off the farm -

Thank you for that Sister T.

What I can’t understand is how these so-called Republicans can’t seem to see just what the liberals have done to their fellow brothers and sisters. I mean, they only have to travel to ANY inner-city to see what their failed policies have wrought. And I don’t see the “messiah’ changing one damn thing!

He’s a political opportunist and a charlatan. I’ve been suspicious of him since a few years ago when he said he was for affirmative action. That’s democrat stuff and no real conservative would approve of it. This election will have blacks voting for Obama because he’s black, and damn the consequences.

Just about every single black I know is voting for Hussein Obama. Even the ones who would normally vote for a conservative. Perhaps it's because there isn't a conservative candidate on the ballot?

Oh don’t fool yourself, King would be voting for Obama too. That means that, in my opinion, Blacks will turn out in record numbers out of blind obedience to vote for a candidate JUST BECAUSE HE’S BLACK. We’re in for a 4 year trial, an ordeal by Socialism and worse. The Republican Party is dead, and a new party of Conservatism needs to emerge out of the ashes to reclaim the country and clean up and restore the nation after the damage is done by Obama’s 4 years of damage. Another Reagan will have to take the helm and not any of the losers that have masqueraded as “Republicans” since 1989. Wake up America!!! The Black votes for Obama will resemble the black “jurists” performance in the O.J. Simpson trial, where race and skin color was the only thing that mattered. We will reap a bitter harvest from this tragedy that will make the Carter and Clinton years look Golden by comparison.

Michael Steele I have great respect for, and he should be chosen by McCain as his VP.

I’ll be more to the point, McCain can prove that he’s not the idiot I think he is by selecting Michael Steele for VP.

Thanks for the clarification. well, yes, I’d be shocked if Walter supported Obama, in fact, I’d be in disbelief. As I said, Rush OFTEN has him fill in as host when Rush is away.

Armstrong Williams, Watts and Phillips are lukewarm conservatives. I’ve seen/heard most of them speak and they are all jokes. Watts hasn’t always been like this but he i snow.

I am a black conservative and I would never vote for BO. Watts has a lot of nerve complaining about blacks who vote for black congressmen based on their race (which he has done before) now that this is out there

Ping.

Sickening.

Watts could be Governor or Senator now instead he quits politics and becomes a crank.

Armstrong Williams and his mom?

Mike Steele is against him but “proud of him as a black man”. Another opposes him but “with love in my heart.” Gag.

To: do not press 2 for spanish

That is a darn shame. Voting skin color over principle.
I dunno if an email would persaude him differently if he is that far gone from conservatism. How many ‘pubs were only using the title “conservative “ when it suited their careers, not out of principle?

Meanwhile, Michael Steele (R-MD, former Lt. Governor and Senate candidate for Maryland) said this in another article:

Michael Steele, the Republican former lieutenant governor of Maryland who lost a Senate race there in 2006, said he is proud of Obama as a black man, but that "come November, I will do everything in my power to defeat him." Electing Obama, he said, would not automatically solve the woes of the black community.

"I think people who try to put this sort of messianic mantle on Barack's nomination are a little bit misguided," he said.

He’s not the only one. Armstrong Williams has made similar remarks.

I work with black men. There’s something about being black that is almost ingrained in many blacks, even conservative ones, that color DOES trump everything, because of their past.

Being white it’s hard to understand, but it’s true, and it’s disheartening in a way, because as a group they’d be better off to shed these feelings.

Steele has emphatically said that he will NOT vote for BO and will in fact do everything in his power to defeat him.
