I respect your opinion, but do not assume they know.

Colin Powell was never a real Republican. He’s always been a race-baiting whiner. Goodbye and good riddance, @hole!!!

“I’m just a citizen who has ... voted Democrat throughout my entire career,”

Sounds about right

"Big deal.... you haven’t been one for years. You are irrelevant. Goodbye....."

It's kind of like when homos come out and tell you they are homos, but you've know it all along because of their feminine voice and manners. That's how stupid these people think we are, that we couldn't figure out on our own that Powell wasn't a Republican, or all those other fools were homos.

You are fooling anybody, Colin Powell. We know you tend to vote by color or by certain issues, like endless wars.

Rush did a segment several years ago in which he repeatedly referred to him as “the Colin Colonel Powell”. I still crack up every time I hear his name!

Richard Who? Most Libby Pardon Coverage Fails to Mention Original Plamegate Leaker 4/14/2018, 2:02:39 PM · by rktman · 38 replies newsbusters.org ^ | 4/14/2018 | Tom Blumer Most of the establishment press's coverage of President Donald Trump's pardon of Scooter Libby has not mentioned Richard Armitage, the person who admitted that he first leaked allegedly covert CIA agent Valerie Plame's name to journalist Robert Novak in 2003. This pervasive failure includes items at the Associated Press, New York Times, the Washington Post, and over 80 percent of Google News stories about Libby. A 5:41 p.m. Friday AP story by Chad Day and Catherine Lucey also assumed that Trump engaged in nefarious timing: President Donald Trump issued a pardon Friday to I.

Armitage told the CBS Evening News that he did so inadvertently. "I feel terrible," Armitage said. "Every day, I think, I let down the president. I let down the secretary of state. I let down my department, my family, and I also let down Mr. and Mrs. Wilson." In a column published on July 14, 2003, Novak, citing two senior...

Remember her? Outed as a CIA analyst by Richard Armitage in Plamegate, she was a cause celebre of the anti-war, anti-Bush left in the middle of the last decade, right around the time that Cindy Sheehan was. Sheehan turned out to be a bit … eccentric politically, but oh well.Not good ol’ Valerie Plame.The politically correct term is “globalists” but we live in a politically incorrect age. Anyway, much outrage and dark humor ensued on Twitter after she tweeted that, leading to Plame’s first ill-advised attempt at spin. Chill out, she responded. The...

Politico: Richard Armitage Will Vote for Hillary Over Trump 6/16/2016, 6:11:10 PM · by cotton1706 · 77 replies newsmax.com ^ | 6/16/16 | Greg Richter In what is believed to be the highest-ranking defection from the GOP so far, former Bush and Reagan-appointee Richard Armitage says he will vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton over Republican Donald Trump, Politico reports. "If Donald Trump is the nominee, I would vote for Hillary Clinton," the deputy secretary of state for President George W. Bush and assistant Defense secretary for President Ronald Reagan said. "He doesn't appear to be a Republican," Armitage told Politico. "He doesn't appear to want to learn about the issues. So I'm going to vote for Mrs. Clinton."

Exclusive: Armitage to back Clinton over Trump 6/16/2016, 1:41:18 PM · by ErikJohnsky · 63 replies Politico ^ | Michael Crowley Richard Armitage, the deputy secretary of state under George W. Bush, says he will vote for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump, in one of the most dramatic signs yet that Republican national security elites are rejecting their party’s presumptive nominee. Armitage, a retired Navy officer who also served as an assistant secretary of defense under Ronald Reagan, is thought by Clinton aides to be the highest ranking former GOP national security official to openly support Clinton over Trump.

I recall the days when GW Bush was offering him the Vice Presidential candidacy endorsement and he turned up his nose and thought he was much too good for Bush. Bush-—the non-Trump moderate who would sell out America for Deep State credentals later on. Easy to predict what Powell would think of the real man Trump who spoke truth.

An Affirmative Action guy pushed and promoted over his head all his life and then developed a serious bloated ego problem and became delusional.

Powell has beenlying to himself about being a Republican for years.
He should just register as a Democrat and be done with it.
