Powell, like our Governator out here in CA (yes, you’re more than welcome to feel a bit sorry for this CA resident), ia nothing but pure RINO!

And if not a RINO, then it was a purely racial vote! I myself learned years back we didn’t operate that way!

Much as I don’t really respect McCain’s word, he certainly smoked Obama on conservative stand points.

For Powell voting and endorsing Obama, it’s either racial or he needs to go ahead and completely drop from the Republican Party, I don’t need anymore RINOs!

powell was the only member of the bush-cheney administration that could have had a press conference and told the usa citizens the truth. instead he toadied to keep himself and his son in the national spotlight. tens of thousands are dead. but hey, might as well run him in 2012 and show the country what conservatives really stand for.

22. sheesh: The answer to your question is Norman Swartzkopf.

In other news, the more that the Republican party tries to be democrat lite, the more of us voters declare independance from either party.

There are now more self-identified Independants (including me), than there are Republicans or Democrats. I expect that, by the end of the summer, Independants will outnumber Republicans and Democrats combined. Jimmy Carter, anyone?

Colin Powell is not Republican. Michael Steel is not Republican. George Bush is not Replublican. Mit Romney was elected as Republican in Massachusetts, for God’s sake, and got passed into law Endless Goverment Madatory Health Care; that makes him more progressive than Ted Kennedy.

If the Republican party continues to move away from Founding Principles, it should expect more of us to leave. That means, good luck raising money for the neverending election cycle, guys. And best of luck with the RINOs.

I, for one, would love to dump Powell and his ilk. He always was a liberal in a moderate’s mask. He should join with his buddies, the dems, and live happily ever after.

Wow Sheesh ! The way you’ve been posting makes one think that you are trying to earn extra income. Like, for your beloved One’s upcoming incredible tax hikes?
Remember- It’s patriotic to pay your taxes- as long as you’re not a Democrat…

j alston.”People that have served have proved that they understand and agree.” just because someone is/was in the military…..doesn’t mean they understand the principles of freedom.

#184 — —Like Jack Murtha or Army Sgt. Hasan Akbar or Army Cpl. Timothy Ayers, G Alston? Your point is verifiably invalid at best and completely false at worst.

Has anyone ever told you that a small fraction of opposition is proof of the rule? If that’s all you can drag up then my point is way better than I thought.

#176 — If Colin Powell won the Republican nomination in 2011, would you vote for him over Obama?

I figure if Powell or Rice were the VP choice in ‘08 Obama would be sitting at home right now. Both were great choices being vastly experienced and respected worldwide. Of course, the Rush contingent here would be apoplectic.

Of course, I’m also one who reckons McCain threw away 3 or 4 states picking the inexperienced Moose Lady trying to appeal to the evangelical vote, so it figures I’d see things this way…
