Colin Powell’s view of Sarah Palin is further evidence of Powell’s weakness in judgment.

Powell is the perfect example of why affirmative action should be scrapped. His position was based solely on his race, for it certainly could not be based on merit. He has none. He’s attacked Rush, who earned his rightful position as a radio host, and he’s attacked Sarah Palin who has earned her position on merit.

He’s a democrat trying to move the Republican party in that direction. Somebody needs to tell him to move on.

farther to the right

Well, further to the right means less government... less taxes... less regulations... I'm not seeing any problems with Sarah?

Well, an individual I know, respect, and love dearly who was also raised in the South Bronx, told me that the Democratic Party left HIM.

My Dad.

Hey Powell, Sarah has balls, figuratively speaking, of course. Why don't you grow a pair?

She's also far better looking.

Powell is a classic bureaucrat. He slithers to whichever position favors his advantage. He has deomostrated that there is not a principle that he will not compromise.

How is Colonoscopy Powell a republican, rino or otherwise? The guy came out of his transparent closet in total support for the HO.

Sadly, Powell has become another political crack whore like Gen. Wesley Clark. The difference is Powell will claim to be a Republican so the news media can attach more power to his bullsh*t.

Who cares what a racist Democrat thinks about the GOP?

IF you are a republican and say something is good, you are always chastised for “polarising”, since by saying something is good, you imply something might be bad.

So when Barbara Bush introduced her husband in 1996 by saying he was a decent and honorable man, she was attacked because she implied that Clinton was not.

And when a republican tells a gathering that they are real americans, that republican is “polarizing” because they are saying other people are not real americans.

Of course, Democrats can say to their audience “you are the change”, and that doesn’t imply that other people are not up to the challenge.

I think Colin Powell, a man I once respected as much as any politician, is now a seriously deluded, quite ignor er uninformed person. He should quit the party.

“but if the party wants to have a future in this country, it has to face some realities,” like it has to woo blacks and Hispanics, who are quickly becoming the majority in this country.”

Is that reality????? Where are all the white people going?

Something happened to a whole bunch of his brain cells, or could be we really didn’t know what he was about before.

I am SO glad that Sarah exposed all of these RINOS and they are coming out of the closet now. Show us who you are RINOS so that we can throw you in the trash one by one. HEY POO POWELL, I VOTED FOR MCCAIN BECAUSE OF SARAH PALIN GET IT!! I would have stayed home if he had chosen Romney or Huckabee, I voted for a TRUE Conservative, someone who shares my beliefs and ideals. Someone who reminds me of the great Ronald Wilson Reagan, and that is Sarah Palin, not that loser McCain who showed over and over again that he was NEVER a TRUE Conservative. She is too far right, GOOD THANK GOD!! What does Powell want her to be..FAR LEFT like he is?? Hey Colin, why don’t you explain how come you went in front of the UN and lied to the American people you schmuck!! I don’t need this piece of poo telling me how to think or what needs to be done to fix the party, HE IS NOT A REPUBLICAN. He voted for Obama because of race and race only.

It is time for us Americans to kick our addiction to putting these elitists in charge and Colin Powell is one of these elitists. We need to put common people in charge who have a hell of a lot more common sense than these elitists morons.
