If he has an R by his name there will be those who say we need to vote for him. lol
He’s a pitiful little man. A hypocritical racist, a self seeking opportunist, a traitor. Must be all the dope from Jamaica
I damn near threw my davenport at the T.V. while I watched that jackass (I can call him that because he is a democrat)I wouldn’t even give him the honor of being called a RINO...he’s gone over the liberal cliff!!!
is this a satire, because it certainly sound like one. It makes Colin sound like the racist actually, not those he accused of being one
He is a liberal who remains Republican so he can further destroy the Republican party from within.
OF COURSE Powell is no Republican. He only called himself a “Republican” to be a novelty item and ingratiate himself with the Reagan Administration and advance his career.
Powell is another gift to the American people from GHWB.
It’s simple, Colin Powell cannot stand any criticism of anyone who is not white. By Powell’s lights, I just made a racist remark.
“The Mole”
Colin Powell was “manufactured” to play a political role. His entire career has been smoke and mirrors.
It all depends on your definition of a “Republican”. By some definitions, Pluto is not a planet, but a dwarf planet or a plutino. By some definitions, Powell is a moral dwarf and spitino.
As the years go by Col. Gritz's predictions continue to unfold like a row of falling dominos. History will prove that the Colonel nailed it, dead center.
COLIN POWELL Despite appearances, impressive titles and knighthood by the British Crown, Colin Powell (63) is little more than a T-ball player in a fast-pitch game. Remember what happed to the last spring-butt-dog-robber, Al Haig? As Kissinger’s "Deep-throat," Haig went from Colonel to four-stars faster than cameras could photograph his promotions (I was Pentagon chief of special activities on the Army General Staff at the time). Over all other contemporaries, Haig was appointed Vice-Chief of Staff, and then Secretary of State by Reagan – obviously without knowing he wasn’t "Number Three." Colin Powell isn’t much better. As Washington’s "inside-insider" Secretary of State, Powell will probably perform as an Uncle Tom "NUF." Powell is likened by the spin-doctors to Eisenhower in greatness as a military leader and potential president (poles said he could have beaten Dole for the 1996 Republican nomination), but what would have happened if Ike would have allowed Hitler to stay in power after the Nazis were driven back within the borders of Germany? What happened in Somalia where American’s military was killed and dragged through the streets of Mogadishu before withdrawing in dishonor, because Powell would supply them with proper combat power? As an Army officer, Powell’s raters considered him the consummate "team-player." His blind loyalty was well demonstrated as an Americal Division assistant chief of staff for operations when a young soldier wrote a letter to General Creighton Abrams complaining that it was routine in the Americal to murder innocent civilians, and cited the MyLai incident in 1968, wherein more than 300 innocent infants, small children, women and old men were machine-gunned in a ditch. Powell did his best to whitewash the accusation, but it burst upon the military’s honor like a rotten egg. Returning from Vietnam, Powell attended GW University and was awarded a White House fellowship where he worked for Frank Carlucci and Casper Weinberger. In 1977, under Jimmy Carter, Powell became an aide to Sec-Def Harold Brown (while Richard Armitage served as an Assistant Secretary to account for our MIAs and POWs, and I worked as Congressional Relations chief in the same International Security Agency office). Powell was then transferred to the Energy Department in 1979 (my POW reports were diverted there as a cover while Carter and Vance refused to recognize the existence of living Prisoners of War). Powell went back to the Pentagon as an Aide to his former White House bosses, Secretary of Defense Carlucci and then Weinberger, along with Armitage – his best friend. It was Powell who smoothed the wrinkles out when the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut was destroyed. Powell was part of the illegal shipments of missiles to Iran in 1986. When National Security Advisor Bud MacFarlane, in his disgrace, attempted suicide, Carlucci was his replacement and Powell was the deputy. In November 1986, Tom Harvey, military assistant to VP George Bush instructed me to infiltrate Heroin overlord Khun Sa’s Tiger Camp in the Golden Triangle of Burma to confirm the presence of U.S. POWs. At 3:40 pm, 21 March 1987, Powell received a call from Harvey concerning an on-going effort to rescue U.S. POWs. Powell stated: "We still believe it is not wise... after 14-years they (Vietnamese) have denied live Americans....if they were to produce live people, can you imagine what will be asked for?" Our abandoned heroes were quietly disposed of in shallow graves! In late 1987, "team-player" Powell was appointed the National Security Advisor by Ronald Reagan. President George Bush selected Powell to be Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs. Admiral Eugene Carroll said it best: "Looking at General Powell’s career record, it is clear that he was picked out early for a more important role in life than getting his boots dirty." Powell proved his political value in 1992 when Senator Jesse Helms declassified and released a comprehensive CIA report on our POWs which greatly embarrassed the Communist. Desperate to save their face, Powell used the Pentagon to mastermind a way out for our enemies. A secret memo was sent to Hanoi on 7 October 1992 advising them to "Begin with a public announcement by your government, noting that for the last several months, Vietnamese officials have embarked on countrywide unilateral efforts to recover archives, records, photographs, and remains of unaccounted for Americans." Several weeks later the words were parroted back by the Communists, while President Bush thrilled at a "significant and real breakthrough," and bragged about Vietnam’s "unprecedented cooperation." Today, Powell sits at his "Foggy Bottom" State Department Building talking daily with friend Armitage about his chances to become the first black president in 2008, even as he is now the first black Secretary of State, and was the first black JCS Chairman. As an Uncle Tom, whose time has come, Powell won’t be at the helm of America’s foreign policy. Second-timer, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld will likely keep our military over committed in UN and coalition overseas "peacekeeping." Colin Powell, Bush’s first appointment, was unanimously approved by the U.S. Senate without even token opposition. http://www.bogritz.com/vignettes32.htm
Has Conlin EVER said anything bad about Democrats, while not criticizing Republicans in the same sentence?
“If the chicken calls itself a cow, is the chicken a cow?”
That analogy would be more aptly used to demonstrate Republicans don’t stand for what they claim, or anything else, than that Powell isn’t a Republican.
