Seeing him and bloomy come out for O the same day made me think of what they have in common. Both needed to use the R party to get what they wanted at a time in the past.
In Bloomy’s case he wanted to run for mayor but NYC Dems wouldnt give him the nomination, so he got the NYC Rs to do it
IN Powells case Dems were doing nothing for him career wise so he got ahead sucking up to Rs. How many here would think he was great pick for SofS now, compared to 2001 when GWB nominated him?
But now that he no longer needs Rs and his Bro got the nomination he slips the knife in the back. And its not just race, Powell has always been a lib.

Yes, yes, and yes.
Some of GWB's policies and appointments looked like they were designed to get votes in the short term. (Also, in Powell's case, he probably resents being sent to the UN with the WMD story.) The worst one, amnesty, failed, but that option is still available to both parties, which to politicians is like an unexploited gold mine that you have to mine before your enemy does.
