i absolutely agree with the man but to put it in a simple words us folk use, Powell is a douchebag. Yes he says the right things but i absolutely believe that his endorsement is indeed racially motivated. A key figure in Bush's apparatus of doom, suddenly a democrat endorsing liberal? Surely people change, but allow me to remain skeptical. well that and jumping sinkign ship obviously. | ||

Compared to the mindless idiots at the mccain rally he did indeed seem like a beacon of intelligence in a party that sorely lack it. That said I must admit, embarrasing as it may be, that I had never heard of him before now. Your post and a couple of google seaches later and I can agree that he is not one to look up to. | ||

Surely people change, but allow me to remain skeptical. well that and jumping sinkign ship obviously. Why can't he endorse Obama? One can be CONSERVATIVE without being a REPUBLICAN, just like in the UK, one can be a SOCIALIST without voting for LABOUR. I think Powell has been very clear that though he is voting for Obama because he agrees with his policies and disagrees with John McCain, he still considers himself a conservative. In that sense, he is no different from the millions of Republicans the Obama campaign is trying to reach, sometimes successfully. It is precisely because people can change that political parties fight so hard to reinvent themselves. Otherwise the young would still not turn out to vote, registered Republicans would continue to vote blindly for Republicans, white men would all vote for John McCain and white women would all vote for Sarah Palin and Obama would lose by a mile. And just for the record, I am not a big fan of Colin Powell, but I have to give him credit for his undoubted ability and intellect. | ||

The United Kingdom has many problems but none of them can be traced to legal prohibitions on owning dangerous weapons, which is what I assume you are referring to. | ||

Jumping ship, or trying to make himself look like a hero(hey, look at this thread- its working) It is precisely because people can change that political parties fight so hard to reinvent themselves. Otherwise the young would still not turn out to vote, registered Republicans would continue to vote blindly for Republicans, white men would all vote for John McCain and white women would all vote for Sarah Palin and Obama would lose by a mile. Same with Sarah Palin. I dont think shes actually stupid. I mean really you dont become a governor by being dum as a rock. Its just whenever she says something that makes sense media goes "isnt that what obama says?" and the republican douchebags go "say something dumb, dont sound like obama!" If McCain were to run his own campaign he would undeniably win. And just for the record, I am not a big fan of Colin Powell, but I have to give him credit for his undoubted ability and intellect. smart folk can be evil too you know. I guess that was the point of why i said what i said- dont cut him any slack. | ||
