I wonder about Powell's mental health. He is pulling the race card more than ever before. As far as how are we going to win the next election, I don't know who the "we" are. Powell endorsed Obama in 2008 and 2012.
Powell needs to address substantive policy issues rather than ad hominem attacks against him or others. Does he support Big Government and the welfare state? The answer is yes. So why does he call himself a Republican?
It couldn't possibly have anything to do with RINOS like you Mr.Powell? The base is sick and tired of pussyfooting around with compromise.
How about the RNC revoking the two-time Obama voter’s Republican credentials, even if symbolic.
I’ve had about enough of this affirmative action Perfumed Prince spouting liberal banalities.
GEN Powell, your 15 minutes of fame is about up.
Really sad, and undoubtedly the dumbest thing Powell will ever do. That was perhaps the best and last chance to straighten out that cess-pool called the middle east short of nuclear weapons.
Colin, you want the birthers to go away but you bring it up again. Maybe if your boy would come clean we could get this behind us. What’s The Undocumented President hiding?
The MSM .mainline socialist media are going to continue to parade him as a Republican “spokesman”. The way to deal with this character is have the House subpoena him to testify (since he admits to giving advice) about his advice to the Obama regime about Libya and Bengahzi. In their line of questioning (about mid point) suggest his initial (voting record) and continuning support of that regime.
Colon is all about himself, just like BHO.
Best Strategy here, is to agree w Gen. Powell and respond:
“Yes, Obama’s prime objective is to “fundamentally transform America”, and we simply object to this planned DESTRUCTION of American, and will fight it every step of the way!”
:: calling on GOP leaders to denounce such talk — publicly. ::
CP calls out the 6 “leaders” of the GOP that agree with him on such things.
FreeRepublic is quoted as saying, “Meh.”
He chose to vote for Obama twice, which just proves that loyalty to someone who shares a percentage of African heritage, as he does, is more important than his loyalty to the American people and the Constitution of the United States.
Has the Colon ever, even once, publicly condemned a Democrat for anything?
Has he ever spoken, even once, in support of anything considered to be a conservative position?
Colon just discovered early on that he got far more media attention as a traitor, when dealing with the enemy media. He is first and foremost a media whore and plays the only trick he knows to get in the news.
Just remember than nothing eminating this Colon is anything but crap.
John McCain better get busy or Powell is going to replace him as the MSM’s pretend-Republican go-to-guy when they need somebody to stab the party in the back (again).
Sorry,Mr Bowel...I don’t take advice from Rats,particularly from Rats who masquerade as Republicans.
His official, long form birth records were SEALED.

The birth certificate that the White House released is reputed by document experts to be false.
The Social Security number he has used was issued to someone else. He could not pass an E-Verify test. The first three numbers of his Social Security ID are reserved for applicants with Connecticut addresses, 040-049. The number was issued between 1977 and 1979. Obama’s earliest employment reportedly was in 1975 at a Baskin-Robbins in Oahu, Hawaii.
Many of the “facts” he cited in his two memoirs have turned out to be questionable, if not outright lies; particularly as regards his birth father, a citizen of Kenya at the time of his birth.
A job applicant with Obama’s paper trail would not even pass the smell test, but this man was elected and reelected. The role of journalism is to vet the credentials of anyone running for public office, let alone the highest office in the land. Instead, he has been protected against all inquiries and those making them have been called “birthers” or simply ignored.
Obama so routinely lies that keeping track of them would require a team of full-time archivists.
In August 2009 he said, “I have not said I was a single-payer supporter”, but in June 2003, as an Illinois state senator, he said, “I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer universal health care system.”
In March 2006, he said “Leadership means the buck stops here…I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.” He is now into his second political battle to raise the debt limit. In July 2011, he said “It is not acceptable for us not to raise the debt ceiling and to allow the U.S. government to default.”
In response to a 1996 questionnaire he said “I favor legalizing same-sex marriages and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages, but in November 2008 he said, “I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage.”
He spent his first term blaming the nation’s economic ills on his predecessor, George W. Bush, saying in July 2008, that “he added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion in debt that we are going to have to pay back. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.” Today, the debt stands at more than $16 trillion because Obama added more to the debt than all previous presidents combined. For the first time in U.S. history, our credit rating was reduced and rating services are warning they will reduce it again.
He has a record of using executive orders to bypass the constitutional powers and duties of Congress. His most recent effort was 23 such orders regarding gun control at the same time Americans are buying guns as fast as they can, fearing the loss of the right to own and bear arms. This is the same President who just signed a law granting him and his family lifetime Secret Service protection.
He used “executive privilege” to cover-up the “Fast and Furious” scandal in which guns were allowed to be purchased and transported for use by Mexican drug cartel members.
He lied about the attack in Benghazi, Libya that killed a U.S. ambassador and encouraged members of his staff to spread the lie that it was “spontaneous” and the result of a video no one has seen.
He and the Democratic Party imposed “Obamacare” on the nation and its passage is already undermining the provision of healthcare services, driving up the cost of health insurance, and causing physicians and the providers of testing and other services to leave the profession and close their doors.
He no longer can blame President Bush, so now he blames the Republican Party that has offered solutions to the nation’s economic crisis that has worsened every day he has been in office. His foreign policy has consisted of apologizing for America and standing aside while one nation after another in the Middle East and northern Africa has fallen under the control of Islamist radicals. He is doing nothing to avoid the sequestration cuts that would harm national defense and a range of other government functions.
He has failed us. Congress has failed us.

I just have two words for Colin Powelland the Fat basturd from NJ:
FU!!
What's Powell even talking about there? Practically every identifiable Republican has run away from the birther talk for years.
It's beyond ridiculous how the MSM is now trotting this clown out as some sort of Republican to advise the Republican party on how it should address any and every issue. Powell has twice voted for Obama, the most leftist major party candidate in living memory.
To any reasonably rational person, Powell sounds like an idiot, and the MSM propagandists who use him to 'advise' Republicans look like a band of fools. But what is or isn't rational plays little or no part in the political dialogue of 21st century America.
I don't know what Bronco Bama is hiding but we know it's something. One doesn't have suspect SS cards and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars keeping records sealed for no reason.
The Republican party keeps losing in approval ratings because the party hasn't been represented by conservatives not because it's too conservative. what a dolt!
I don’t know what powell is talking about. There has not been much honest dialogue about obama’s eligibility.
I don’t agree with either “side” on this topic. One side says its obvious he is not eligible. The side says the opposite. Stil another conservative faction thinks its a lose/losse proposition so why waste the ammo
I disagree with all of them. I don’t know about obama specifically and its not about obama. My concern is there is no process to check eligibility. An awful precedent has been established. It has been politicized by both sides. Anyone can get in if they can get the votes. I want the rule of law upheld. Let chips fall where they may.
Committing forgery and fraud (allegedly) and being called out on it is demonizing, huh?
The Colon Powell apparently can’t handle the truth.
