Gosh. He’s so right. The Republicans say bad things about women like, “Would you please be our Vice-Presidential candidate?” Not those feminist-approved things Democrat Bill Clinton said like, “Let me just wipe off on your dress, whatever your name is.”

It’s a complete waste of time arguing with Colin Powell types, for they see color first. We see philosophy first, will you work to protect and defend liberty or not.

Elements in the democratic party demonize people who don’t think and talk the way they’d like.

Powell, who wouldn’t even HAVE a career or a place on the political landscape of this country, except for the Bush family... once again reminds us that he CAN’T be right about ANYTHING!!

So Powell is saying he didn't see Obama’s 2012 campaign? You know, the one where Obama bitterly and ruthlessly attacked Americans who were different than him?

He has no problem with Obama using the IRS as the Gestapo against other Americans?

Powell have anything to say about the general lawlessness of Obama?

Any comment on Obama letting 4 Americans die at the Embassy and then FRAMING another American for making a YouTube video?

No comments on any of this, right?

It's clear, Powell has long sought to inflict as much damage on Republicans as possible while dishonestly trying to hold himself above the fray so as not to besmirch his reputation. You know, something cowards do.

The “mysterious elements” are probably those who oppose the renomination of the southern “moderate” Republican senators, such as Lindsey and Cornball, who are trying to convince their states’ voters that they are “real conservatives”.

Colin is actually a very common name in the British Isles - Scotland, Ireland and Great Britain. Don’t know how a native-born American ended up with it.

His parents immigrated from Jamaica.

Actually, a man named Ronald W. Reagan started Colin on the path of affirmative action greatness, I believe.

Powell could have been more constructive and positive in his remarks. Instead he chose to take the low road. This tells you more about Powell than the GOP.

Elements ‘in people who don’t look the way they’d like’, demonize the GOP.

To carry the designation “Republican” is to be treated in a manner reminiscent of the way that “people of color” were widely snubbed back in the days of the “separate but equal” interpretation of the law books of the time.

Lowering of the eyes and shuffling quickly out of the sight of those who taunt and demean them is supposed to be the way the Republicans are expected to behave in the presence of such obviously superior human beings.

What the hell happened here?

Colin should come into TX before March 4 and endorse Cornball.

Finally a so-called Republican the stooges at MSNBC can proudly proclaim they admire and wish all Republicans were more like Mr. Powell.
