i don’t have any respect for powell anymore.

to say that it’s not about race, when it obviously is,

is wrong.

I NEVER believed Colin Powell when he said “my fellow Republicans”. One part of the RINO legacy that forced me to abandon the party this year.

Powell is an opportunist of the highest order. He always has been.

To underestimate how important it is to people of color, that a black man will finally be in the White House, is the biggest mistake that we can make. It is a yearning that we just don't understand, and can not appreciate.

Just think, only 50 years ago...when Obama’s parents were kids, black people could not even drink out of the same drinking fountain! We cannot wrap our hearts and minds around that. It isn't about slavery, it is about not being able to sit where you want on a bus, because white people got the best seats....not because of their character, but because of their skin color.

We can not imagine what it feels like to be a young man, a nice young man, who, sees fear in the eyes of young women, just because of the color of his skin.

We do not know the hope they feel for Obama, because if he wins, then maybe those same young women who fear the black man, will suddenly realize that he isn't a danger, just because he is black. He could be President!

This is very emotional and important to black people.

But, just think how horrible it will be, when this man, Barack Obama wins, just because of his color, and he ruins our country with his Marxism. If we manage to keep the vote, never again will a black person win the White House! In truth, Obama isn't going to be the great leader they are looking for. He is intolerant and selfish. He is arrogant and elitist. He is a marxist. He will ruin our free country, and usher in tyranny. He has already shown that he will not be questioned.

Ultimately Obama will ruin progress for black people in this country.
