Romney’s first act as president should be to appoint him as ambassador to Lybia.

I was wondering when he would weigh in.

What a waste.

My uncle, a West Point grad with lots of shiny metal things on his uniform (including stars), told me 20+ years ago that Colon is an arsehole.

Gotta give Colon props for being a consistent POS!

Powell, HA!

He fell in love in 2008. He was "convinced" by the mantras Hopenchange and Yeswecan. He was "convinced" by "specifics" like "fundamentally change America" and "change and hope for a better future."

Powell is either stupid, or he is down with a brother.

Just think, there was a time when he was considered the savior of the Republican party. The RATS can have him.

Powell is a bitter guy.
This was basically a FU to the republican establishment. He could care less about Obama.
