I’m waiting for the Condi endorsement to follow...
Of course it’s racially motivated. Either that or Colin Powell has become a Socialist too, which wouldn’t surprise me.
In the end, these endorsements mean little.
Absolutely. All about race. As many prominent women will vote Republican for the first time because of Palin. I doubt that many will go into that booth and say...hmmmmmm...I guess I should pull this lever for Obama....Colin Powell is going to....paleeeeeez....anyone with any sense would know Powell would back Obama. I am personally disappointed...very disappointed...in Powell because I would have thought he would research the candidates a bit more than what his statement said. Just proves...because you had a previous position in our illustrious government does not necessarily mean you are brilliant...or even borderline intelligent. You are just a commoner who votes color. Colin Powell has been replaced on my hero list by Joe the Plumber.
It only proves that the vast majority of Black people stick together regardless of matter,unlike the white man.
If 0 wins tell him he’s got till 1/21/09 to present a birth cert. or no swearing in.
Colin Powell is a racist. I think Sidney Portier got to him. He just moved out of the “house” and into the “field”.
McCain will say I respect the general and his opinion.
Yeah, SO DID BENEDICT ARNOLD! Don’t go there because Powell is supporting a man who will destroy this country and encourages our enemies. Israel will not be there in 4 yrs. We cannot afford 4 yrs. ourselves as Russia and China along with the terrorists will pounce on the antichrist’s election.
First thing out of Powell’s mouth was it wasn’t about race.
The only two reason’s I can think about Powell’s endorsement are:
1. It is about race
2. Powell wants a cush job in a Obama administration.
Why else would a moderate support a socialist?
So did Benedict Arnold.
Well said.
I saw Powell speak about a year ago as part of a local lecture series. He seemed greatly concerned about his legacy. He seemed to want to be congratulated for having the “right” opinions, and to be loved by the mostly liberal audience in attendance.
This is a terminal disease, I’m afraid.
Powell wove points talking all through Meet the Press about the unfair practices of McCain's campaign and said nothing about Obama's thugs. He denied race is his prime motive for the endorsement but the reasons he gave for it are so weak AND one sided they are not credible.
He's an affirmative action hire; much like B. Hussein Obama has been over these many years.
This is part of the problem with affirmative action hires -- poor performance and, perhaps, a nursing of grievance for in someway realizing that he didn't get their by anything resembling ability.
There’s a strong case for this being solely race based because on foreign policy(something you’d think Powell would concern as #1) Obama is a real endangerment to this country. We are still fighting terrorists and dealing with Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, oh and Russia and China(where our enemies are bolstered). Russia and China have their own ambitions that will be taking place with and Obama at the helm. Powell has sold his soul. He’s taking America with him.
He is 71. I doubt he does that.
Think about it...
WHAT KIND OF GENERAL LEADS A COUNTRY - AND OUR SERVICEMEN - INTO WAR and then deserts them?
The WORST kind.
