We always knew that Powell was a lib when he ran the State Department. The one thing he got right initially was Iraq.
My take is that he was hoping Obama could win without having to make a public endorsement, thus preserving his supposed high-and-mighty "non-partisan" credential, but McCain's increased momentum the past few days and the great threat of the suddenly public discussion about Obama's socialism - caused Powell and Obama to make this splash this morning. Let's change the subject, so to speak ...
Fellow conservatives, let's not let them get away with it.
RINO alert.
The one who was on the right leading the charge on Iraq is now on the left. Hey Colin, you lose those WMDs you talked about to the SC, or you just got them hidden. From conservative to communism in one transformation.
Don’t buy an ounce of it, it’s all about race.
You want to know the true character of Colin Powell, go back and examine the Novak-Armitage affair. Slime ball supreme.
His views line up pretty well with "The Messiah"
Transformational alright.
We’ve never yet tried socialism on a massive scale.

Oh man...it’s over now.
The blacks will vote 95% for Obama after hearing this.
/s
I disagree with you that he got Iraq right initially- he’s the main reason we had to go back 10 years later because he was the one who convienced Bush Sr. not to go all the way to Bagdad and finish the job.
Colin Powell was always a social liberal, he has been haging now with all th eJimmy Carter types, and he has been dancing hip hop and talking about his black roots.
I heard him say Obama will “electrify” the World. How so? Obama will frighten our allies and embolden our enemies.
Colin Powell wants to be first to welcome his new Islamic overlord in hopes they come after him last.
While Benedict Arnold served his country he turned on it and tried to destroy it at its beginning and now we have Colin Powell that had served his country only to turn on it and support someone who will destroy it and bring on its ending. He is a traitor and there is no way Obama wins on foreign policy and with what we are facing. He wants the United States to disarm while we are facing Iran, Syria, Venezuela, North Korea, Russia and China. Powell is a disturbing individual who has marked himself with dishonor.
Powell denounced republicans for saying Obama is muslim??????? The republican party and candidates have done no such thing.
WHAT? Without Senator McCain choosing Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate the race would be over!! This remark is just plan wrong, perhaps Mr. Powell isn't the genius the leftist medias claim.
I'm sorry, but ... that is just plain racially motivated.
Listening to Colin Powll right now.
Sounds like his liberalism is rising to the top.
Oops, I also meant to say that colin is right, however, about baraq being a transformational figure. Not the way he thinks, though.
“Powell...said...that he was not supporting Obama because of his race.”
Nobody will believe this.
Powell just spent what little political capital he had left. Alas, he was NEVER a true Reoublican and will NEVER AGAIN be accepted as a Republican.
