It's just like J.C. Watts and some other Republican or Conservative black politicians actually considering voting for Obama. It's insane.
It's like me voting for some random German-Irish atheist, without considering his party or policies. Or voting for Jimmy Carter over Margaret Thatcher, because Jimmy is a man .... oops, scratch that. It's like voting for some male democrat over a female conservative, just because the democrat is a man. Can people really be this cavalier with their votes? (o.k., dumb question)
I have heard rumors that JC Watts was thinking of voting for Obama. I can't figure that out either. Irrational would be the word if the rumor is true.
The whole concept of "identity politics" are lost on me. If Margaret Thatcher were a black lesbian I'd vote for her over anyone who ran in the primaries from either party. I don't care about the color of her skin or sexual preferences as long as she is truly conservative.
Obviously, many people look at the world very differently than you or me.
