I also heard an interview this morning: If ANYONE ELSE CAN GET IT
Powell basically said that Obama will surround himself with experience people due to obamas Inexperience...
Than he goes on to trash Palins Inexperience for President...
What a jackass. Yeah let’s appoint activist judges so we can become a rule of man, instead of a rule of law. That way, all any President needs to do is just elect the people in robes to run the country. The lack of knowledge by this assclown is just incredible.
Powell is desperately trying to justify what is basically a racist decision..........
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of interest.
Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: If they make a mistake, I dont want them punished with a baby.
We always knew Powell was pro-abortion.
Powell thinks more black babies should be killed by the racist organization founded by the racist Margaret Sanger.
I have always known him to be a RINO, and this just proves it. These people have NO CHARACTER whatsoever.
He says it’s NOT about race. Yeah, alright.
I know he is RETIRED. I didn’t know he is also RETARDED.
Oh be honest and just come out and announce you’re a democrat for Pete’s sake.
Didnt he also say it didnt matter if he was muslim or if he uses the Koran?
IT MATTERS TO ME GENERAL! IT MATTERS TO A LOT OF AMERICANS!
Another racist comes out of the woodwork.
Yes Basically....
Skin First Country Second
Where would you and your son be? Ret. Col. Powell
I think McCain needs to hit Obama on trying to undermine the 2nd amendment through tainted scholarship... joyce foundation.
The Republicans tried to use him for the color of his skin and promoted him based on the color of his skin. It is to be expected that Colin Powell has finally come forward for what he is - a radical Marxist. Promotion based on color and not ideology doesn't work.
Powell might as well make it official and switch to the DemoncRAT party. He all but did so this morning. He is FINISHED as a Republican!
Powell can go to hell. He would have never been heard of if it were not for Ronald Reagan. Then “compassionate conservative” Dubya makes him Sec of State. What an ungrateful ingrate.
Powell’s first loyalty is to his race, not his country or party. That’s all it is!
Yeah, and he failed. All he could do is talk nonsense.
This was a tribal endorsement, and nothing more.
Good riddance of Powell. He showed his true color
I picked up on his double standard about experience also.
Transcript here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27266223/
Yep, and I think most will see it that way too.
So, let me get this straight, General... You're not in favor of stacking the deck in America's favor?
And to think... I actually admired you back in the day.
Well , rethink this.
IT looks like he is telling America that Obama is a Muslim.
HE is also saying that Obama lacks the skill to be pres thus the surrounding of experience.
Now, tell me, what would happen if the great one had to make a decision on his own?
I’ll tell you.... another great muslim blunder!!!!
And America wants to have that???
This is not the same man who fought for his country and who was DOD Chief of the Joint Staff.
As has already been pointed out his reasoning is contradictory if not downright fallacious. I wonder if his capacity to think is impaired or someone has been able to put pressure on him.
So sad. Many of us military types were very proud of him. I’ll always respect his military service to this country. But his endorsement of the Marxist Onada does nothing to change my mind about voting for McCain. Gad zooks. He had nothing cogent to say at all. Just parroting demrat talking points.
Doesn’t have any idea who the Marxist Onada is. That means he hasn’t even troubled himself to be informed. Gen. Powell is obviously not the man he once was.
What a putz!
In other words, Powell decided based on race.
What a flippin doughhead Powell is.
Obama has spent his whole life surrounded by radicals and people who burn with resentment and hate for this country, including his wife. How can you expect it to be any different once he takes office?
So now the ‘progressives’ drop the moniker for Powell ‘house negro’ of ‘Uncle Tom’....
Well, we judge a man by his character, so much for Colin Powell’s character. Country first.
“Powell is desperately trying to justify what is basically a racist decision..........”
Yep. He has no basis for that statement. I just have to wonder how this perfume princess got to an Army general. Are all the others wached, too?
What was it that made this guy successful? Oh yeah, affirmative action and the first Bush.
This from an Affirmative Action General.
So it seems. A question popped into my head this morning regarding Clarence Thomas and blacks dismissing him. My question then was: What if the Republican ticket were say J.C. Watts or Michael Steele and the Democratic ticket was a couple liberal white guys? As young, 'clean' well-spoken, liberal-socialist-big-government-Marxists as Obama.
Would the blacks still choose the Democrat over a conservative Republican black? As Snerdley says 'certified black enough' OR, dismiss him as a 'sell-out' Uncle Tom or whatever they use...
LOL, is that what that disgusting little weasel said, “Surpeme Court”??
LMAO!!
I vote de blood.
Allah be praised
Why would he highlight to cultural conservatives that Obama will put a couple of extreme leftist judges on the USSC?
I know that he is not a plant. My question, which was rhetorical, was intended to point out the stupidity of some of those who reach high office.
Colon Bowel is an incompetent boob. He proved the Peter Principle when he was SoS.
So Powell just said he has always been a Rat and never agreed with the base and platform of the GOP. Surprise Surprise..oh I forgot to mention...
“This from an Affirmative Action General.”
You nailed it!
He might as well have come out and said, “Obama is a muslim and I’m converting as soon as the chosen one is sworn in.”
And even Fox News is constantly saying “it’s proven that he’s not a muslim”. I think Powell just proved that he IS a muslim.
Wake up, America! You’re about to elect a muslim president only 7 years after the muslim knockded down the WTC.
Why would have have a problem with two more Supreme Court picks. Republicans picked 7 of 9 justices and the Supreme Court sucks. Republicans are notoriously stupid when they chose their picks. Democrats have only picked 2 in the 25 years. If that is Powell’s fear for McCain, he should not worry about. McCain will not pick someone FREEPERS will approve. With the Senate at super majority and McCain’s love for fairness, he will pick someone moderate at best. I sincerely hope FREEPERS realize this.
IMHO he was an Affirmative Action General because he was not bad looking, a good talker, could schmooze well with people in the right places, etc.
If J.C. Watts was on the ticket it wouldn’t be conservative. He’s the next “black consertative” to endorse the chosen one.
Sure, absolutely.... two more conservative appointments to SCOTUS would be unthinkable! I wish I had a dime for everytime I heard a Republican say these very words.....
...is there any doubt at all this man is a Democrat?
Any?
You know it has to be about race. Obambi is on record saying he will pretty much decimate the US military, will cancel anti-missile defense programs, and will unilaterally disarm. One would think that Powell, being the career military man he was, would take issue with Obambi for such a position. However, I guess Powell puts race before and above US security. He blasts Sarah Palin’s alleged “lack of experience,” yet supports someone whose experience is less than hers? And it’s not about race? Give me a break!
Powells first loyalty is to his race, not his country or party. Thats all it is!

THis is the truth for the majority of black people. They stick together, and color is put before ANYTHING.
Most whities don’t understand this.
There will be a lot of unemployed blacks when the military budget is slashed and they’re all kicked out of the military.
But Powell's endorsement of Obama is not nearly as devastating as Senator Joe Lieberman, their Vice Presidential Candidate, endorsement of Senator McCain. He not only endorsed McCain, but also spoke at the Republican National Convention.
Now that is devastating! And that point should be hammered hard to counter any possible momentum that could arise from Powell's endorsement.
I bet, like hussein, he hates Israel. And to think this @$$hat was secretary of state.
