“Powell...said...that he was not supporting Obama because of his race.”

Nobody will believe this.

Powell’s argument was that if it was based on race he could have done it two months ago. That was an absurd argument, when he did it has nothing to do with why. EXCEPT that he obviously waited till close to the election hoping for more impact, or waited to see how close it was.

I just read his statement that he didn’t want more republican Supreme Court appointments. Need to know anything else?

This is based on Powell’s socially liberal views, not his area of expertise and the reason he never ran for president.

I sure don’t.

Voting for someone because they’re black is 100% as racist as voting against them for that reason.

Powell is not only a racist, but by supporting someone whose inexperience and arrogance makes him completely unqualified to run this country - you’d think, in a time of war, some small nugget of common sense would TELL the man that.. but, no... race trumps all.

If I ever had any respect for Powell, it just evaporated.
