I just saw a clip of Powell Sr. saying that he didn’t see the relevance of bringing up William Ayers.

Ayers bombed the Pentagon at the same time that Powell was serving in Vietnam, under orders from the Pentagon.

Unreal.

I recall seeing Colin Powell on TV way back awhile -

Standing in front of his cabinet for his collection of fine expensive hunting rifles, shotguns, and his handguns

While he explained “I am for the 2nd Ammendment but - America needs ‘reasonable new gun laws’ to protect.....”

Colin Powell is also a buddy of OJ and after his aquittal in the double murder trial Powell said:

“The system works!”

Powell went abroad and trashed the USA when speaking to Muslim groups - on one of his book tours -

Colin Powell traded his endorsement of Barack Hussein Obama for a lucrative position as an “advisor” - Well — that is what Obama said today - that allows Powell to make more millions selling ghost-written books - collecting huge speaker fees - having access to “trends” in the stock market - while avoiding the “insider” problemo -

If Colin Powell flipped -

What will his son do one day?

Power equals wealth and more power
Lauren Bush and Jenna Bush are supporting Obama

Loyalty is a phantasy

“How is Palin any less a transformational figure than Obama?”

By “transformational”, Powell means “socialist.”

Powell has never been a conservative.

“But Powell said he was impressed by Obama’s steadiness, intellectual curiosity and depth of knowledge. He called McCain’s running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, unready to become president in case of emergency. “

Translation: He is a misogynist.

Powell's endorsement of Obama was an October surprise charade. Kristol said months ago that Powell would endorse Obama. Powell only timed it for maximum effect, certainly in cooperation with the Obama campaign.

BTW, Powell has never met Sarah Palin
