Whatever respect I had for Colin Powell in the past, was completely destroyed by his endorsement of Obama and then Biden.

He chose to endorse the black candidate, rather than the more qualified and experienced candidate. He chose the color of the candidate's skin rather than what the country really needed. He chose the candidate he thought would make history by becoming the first black president.

Powell betrayed whatever principles he had in the past, and he betrayed the party that he purportedly was a member of, or the republicans. If you can give up your principles so easily, then, you don't deserve any respect at all, and whatever legacy Powell had built, was eroded by his decisions in later life.

Sure, but McCain wasn’t much of an alternative.

John McCain endorsed the Kenyan from Indonesia while he was running against him, neither McCain or Romney had any intention of winning, they were both intentional willing Designated Losers.
