Translation: I want millions of fraudulent voters in every election!

Republicans want voter ID to make sure that everybody has a fair chance to vote for whom they choose. They also favor vote observers at polling places so we don’t get the obviously fraudulent 100% from various Democrat vote counters like we had in Philadelphia in this last election. When Democrats cheat and vote more than once, or cheat and count votes against their guy as votes cast for him, then THAT is what suppresses the vote. Also I might expect an army officer who is supposedly Republican to be a little more sensitive to the lost and mishandled ballots for our overseas servicemen...who largely vote Republican....but go figure.

Powell is now a voter fraud cheerleader? I am not surprised; the guy has been a sock-puppet for the left all along.

In colonial America in 1776, 74% of the populace favored tyranny under king George, while 26% of the populace favored independence.

Powell would be best reminded that we are an elected republic, not mob rule.

Our armed forces succeed only because the 10% tell the other 90% what to do when they wake, what to eat, where to sleep again, and who the enemy is to be.

Powell is developing dementia.

Mr. Colon can see the handwriting on the wall that the GOP is about to go the way of the Whigs. Ergo he is positioning himself for his next decade of meal tickets.

Shucks, vote fraud advocates have enlisted the help of another 95 percenter as a spokesmodel.

Please GOP, send this colostomy bag out of the party. He belongs in the dems, put him there. He would have little visibility there which is why he remains a RINO.

Powell would have made an excellent banana republic, fascist dictator. He’s a regular Hugo Chavez.

Powell: Only low info voters, welfare recipients and those with an IQ of under 70 should be allowed to vote.

It's the right thing to do.

>>If Repubs can’t at the very least stand strong and demand clean elections then they have no further reason to exist.

I was really disappointed with GWB that he didn’t do anything in the wake of all the FL shenanigans in 2000, especially since the Dems were obviously working to disenfranchise military voters by challenging their absentee ballots.

If we ever get the White House back, election fraud clean up needs to be a national Republican priority. Until then, everyone needs to push it at the state level.

If the president himself does not have to be eligible then why do voters have to be eligible? Heck we have open borders and dems want a blank check with no debt ceiling. Anything goes. Get with the times. :-).

It sounds funny now, but there was a time when Colin Powell could have had the GOP presidential nomination almost for the asking. VP for sure.

Since the Scooter Libby ordeal, when he let the man be crucified all the time knowing the truth, when one word from him would have spared the man... he lost his honor and I don’t think he can ever get it back.

Powell proved himself to be a coward when he was afraid to tell President Bush he knew who the leaker was.

I have no respect for him in any area now.

This phony gasbag used to be in our military and lead our servicemen. And those same servicemen are disenfranchised every election by the democrats that Powell favor. It is a bitter insult and betrayal...

I agree with Powell. The republican party should be exactly what he wants it to be. And I’ll go somewhere else.

Gee, my Dog farts and looks back to see where the sound came from. I just laugh at how my cute little Dog is so entertaining without having a clue.

Nice to know that Colin Powell possesses the same ignorance with the noise he makes opening his pie hole.
