Bush should endorse zerO - that would be hysterical !!!!

I really wish he would! I believe Bush has done a lot of damage to the party - he's done a lot of good for the country, but he's been a disappointment to me in the last 4 years as president. I'm not quite sure what to think of him, but overall, I do not have a favorable opinion of him or his father. They are liberals in conservative clothing, I think.

But, if he would PLEASE endorse Obama - it would do a lot to redeem himself in my eyes. It would KILL the liberals!!!

Colin Powell, another elitist. This election boils to - on the elitist side is Hussein Obama, Colin Powell, Biden. These people are the East Coast elite type. On the other side is McCain, Palin, Joe the Plumber who don't toe the elitist line and represent more of the West. The elitist represent the view that you are an idiot, you need to be controlled and your place in life cannot be changed. Look at Joe the Plumber, he wants to better himself by buying a plumbing business. The elitist feel threatened that he doesn't stay in his "place". Look at the ridicule that Palin gets, he comes from a common person background. Her husband is more of a blue collar worker.

One thing, those from blue collar backgrounds have a lot better common sense versus the elitist. The elitist are so out of touch.

Mr. Powell, You have just confirmed that you are a racist -choosing a candidate based on the color of his/her skin, and nothing more than an Afirmative Action clown yourself. You “endorse” a neo-Marxist amateur fool for president - this clearly goes against everything you allegedly “stood” for. What this now does, though, is to open up the Pandora’s box of us “whiteys” voting for McCain/Palin besed soley on their race. Oh, one last thing, McCain/Palin campaign, Jerry Wright can now be used - just remember what Geraldine Ferraro said “The only reason Obama is where he is is because he’s black.” Go get ‘em! McCain/Palin 2008!

Yep...looks like Powell will sell this country out to wipe out his "Uncle Tom" status with the Left.

President Bush - not a racist .... Powell is.

But why talk of a new party two weeks before the election it seems to me that’s designed to split Republicans and allow Obama to win.

After this election the question of RINOism can be dealt with more effectively and appropriately.

The primaries in 2010 should be interesting and here in PA I see that its time for Arlen Specter to leave.

Unleash the 527 Reverand Wright ads now!!!!

Unleash James Cone/Black Liberation Theology ads now. They expose Obama as lying about Wright.

What a sad fellow. He gave virtually all the talking points of the Obama campaign. Then he is asked if he is a “Republican”, he said yes. That’s all you need to hear. Yes, you are a Republican.....but you never were a conservative.

“And the Ayers thing...ARE YOU KIDDING ME POWELL?? This isn’t important? So having a “casual” relationship with Osama bin laden is okay? Oh in 30 years it will be okay?”

Excellent point. I’m going to send send Powell a copy of this link. How will he sleep at night if we get attacked again because radicals will think they have a pass.

“So Powell finally makes a mistake.”

I don’t think it’s a mistake.

If Obama wins Powell gets credit from the new administration and is better positioned to build his business and his cocktail party circuit status.

If Obama loses the Dems will be reeling with remorse for trying to win with a far-left candidate like Obama and will start looking for moderates to run for President in four years. Who is more moderate than the black Army general that everyone thought was a Republican?

This guy’s inner career computer has never let him down. He’s the greatest career military ticket-puncher slash bureaucrat slash Washington insider of our time.

No Powell does appear to want a job on the “winning” team.
He’s not doing this out of the goodness of his heart.

He does not view himself as too old to wield power.

I’m sickened by this though. On what basis does this guy who supported McCain in 2007 now turn his back on him?

Based on what record of the socialist/marxist? What?

What does Powell know?

He held up pictures of harmless industrial vehicles and told the world they were mobile WMD factories.

He has to be dizzy from all that spinning! Why doesn't he just tell us what we already know......he wants to hang with his homies!

Another thing too, if He had endorced McCain he wouldn't have his mug on TV everyday for the next few weeks. He must have a new book coming out soon.

I blame Bush for Obama’s rise.

I blame you for the most ignorant comment of the day.

Colin Powell is a nobody unless you are over 50 years old. And like Bill Clinton, he just looks old now. Yesterday’s news. Aging rock star. He is a media darling not the darling of main street. And like Oprah, he just confirmed what ‘team’ he plays for. They are African Americans first. Up-town Americans second. Main Street Americans - never.
