How many examples are needed before we declare Affirmative Action a failure?

They would just be the back-up group for the Socialism Blues.

No fair. Liberals and moderates can never be expected to talk about or commit to specifics.

The major media should be asking this question as I have been since this douche bag of a political hack came out for Obama.

Colin Powell’s ideal Republican would be pro-abortion, pro big government, pro gay marriage, anti defense, liberal to the core and would have voted for Obama.

Powell is a big fat phony. He could have voted for a moderate Republican John McCain instead he made a high visibility endorsement of 0bama.

Powell is just an old windbag loving the attention. But soon he’ll go back to sleep and be gone

Colin Powell voted what matters to him in the last election. Skin color.

DNC talking points and John Kerry’s 2004 platform would about cover it.

I've got a peachy idea: why don't all the politicians just trade places, you know, all the R's declare as D's and the D's become R's.

Or, a variation on that, and that could be ALOT of fun: all the politicians vacate their parties and elected offices while some music plays. One of the offices is declared null-and-void. Then the music is randomly stopped. All the politicians then scramble for an office. One of them has to leave. the scene.

then, REPEAT!

The answer to the question posed in the headline is “The answer my friend is blowing in the wind, the answer us blowing in the wind.” In other words, absolutely nothing.

Until Colin Powell runs for elected office, I cannot understand why anyone cares what he thinks. This is not where he would come looking for supporters, but if he would happen to run for one of the two New York Senate seats that will be up in 2010 . . . that would be interesting. I think his residence is in Virginia, but I think New York gave up any citizenship requirements with Hillary!

Powell's party does not stand, it bends over and grabs its ankles.

How can Colin Powell endorse and support a
Democrat socialist for president and
claim to be a Republican ?

Only if he is a fraud and a liar !
