Colin Powell said one of his key reasons for supporting Barack Obama over John McCain was a difficulty with two more conservative appointments to the Supreme Court, which he added is what we'd be looking at in a McCain administration."
Code for no Alitos or Scalias.
Powell went on to say that his decision had nothing to do with race, reinforcing that Obama was a transformational candidate.
Interesting to see what the left will think of an endorsement from a man they ridiculed just a few short years ago on the war in Iraq.
Powell also took issue to the tone of the McCain campaign towards Obama, no word if he takes issue to the tone directed to Gov. Sarah Palin.

Did the Pittsburgh Tribune Review really use apostrophes for plurals? My, oh my... :)
Powell pro-abortion? I didn’t know that! /sarcasm
“Colin Powell said one of his key reasons for supporting Barack Obama over John McCain was a difficulty with two more conservative appointments to the Supreme Court, which he added is what we’d be looking at in a McCain administration.”
Any remaining doubts on where Colin is on the political spectrum?
No, of course not.
Powell is as much of a Republican as hussein obama, this endorsement should surprise no one....
This is why Colin Powell never really had a chance of getting the Republican nomination.
lol...yep, that was my first thought as well. I’ll email the author a link to the Apostrophe Protection Society.
He’s also pro-affirmative action.
The moonbat left is gonna tie themselves in knots over this one. They hated Powell, now they’re going to crow over his “defection”? Rove, you magnificent bastard!
Why wouldn’t he be? Without it he’d be just another no-name retired LTC somewhere.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: If they make a mistake, I dont want them punished with a baby.
It would seem that Powell is as clueless on the role of a judge as he was on the role of a Secretary of State.
Well, at least he won’t have to worry about being called an Uncle Tom anymore.
They won’t tie themselves in knots. We’ve always been at war with Eurasia. And Powell has always been a good guy.
there were a bunch of people on here who had no problem with Powell on the Republican ticket,, where are they now?
Why would anyone think that consistency is a concern of the moonbat left?
All that vitriol against Powell long ago went down the memory hole.
And Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia.
Obama: If they make a mistake, I dont want them punished with a baby.
What Zero and his buddies at Abortion inc. have/will do makes the ‘Highway of Death’ look like a childrens ride.
Didn’t Powell say it’s okay if Obama is a muslim? IF he’s a muslim? So, I guess Powell isn’t convinced Obama is a Christian.
I simply have to believd this is all in God’s hands.
