It is only at moments like this that I dare to cross the line into the Devil's den, also known as
Free Republic.
Follow me below the fold to watch their skulls explode.
Their spines are breaking.
Their will is disintegrating.
I thought Powell was one of the Republican Party's great heroes? Read on....
Damn. I was hoping he would have made a non statement..
Well actually, I think that most Americans will look and say, he is voting for the black guy because he is black.
And forget about it.
The ultimate rino.
He put racial solidarity first.
He told students electing a black president would be "electrifying."
It is clear to everyone that is his motivation.
Powell is loyal to his race, and disloyal to his party and country.
Why am I not surprised?
Crap.
To be honest, I haven’t trusted Colin Powell for a long time so this isn’t really a surprise! BUT what a jerk! No loyalty whatsoever! He would be NOTHING if it hadn’t been for Republicans! What a POS! Sorry but that’s just the way I feel!
"...Powell said he questioned Sen. John McCain’s judgment in picking Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate because he doesn’t think she is ready to be president."
What in the world is he on. Sarah Palin does’t have enough experience, but Obama does...? How much dirt did they have on Powell to make him endorse Obama?
Powell a traitor? Old news. I said it repeatedly on FR and took flak for it. Powell turned his coat on the WoT. He described the Iraq war a failure, declared in front of an Arab audience that the US is losing the war and called the run-up of the war based on lies. He is an abysmal failure and traitor of the level of Wesley Clark. Puke.
Let’s not give up our good fight. We have 16 days before the election.
Colin Powell is wants a Job in the Obama administration. He just waved his white sheet today.
A PAUSE FOR MY PERSONAL FAVORITE, FOLKS......
Wow, this will helm Obama with the Black republican vote.
I thought the far left considered Powell a war criminal and liar?
He is live on CNN and is 100% in the tank with Mr. Hussein.
Good frikkin grief...
He’s not as smart as I’d given him credit for. Surely he can see what an Zero presidency would do to this country. Obviously the race thing is causing him to overlook what his intellect was telling him.
I agree with you Counterpunch - by saying electing a black president would be "electrifying" he’s told everyone race is more important to him than the state of the country.
I’m very disappointed as are many, I’m sure.
Well actually, I think that most Americans will look and say, he is voting for the black guy because he is black.
Couldn't agree more.
Well scratch that traitor off the Christmas card list.
Racist!
My sentiments exactly!
UPDATED: Here's another blog that's started over there, and I really must say these are three points I had not considered:
Three points about this: 1. Is Powell going to profit (vis-a-vie) Ifill's book? 2. Who has more stature - a sitting US Senator (J. Lieberman) or a retired AA general/SOS suporting the candidate of the opposing party for president? 3. Is there any differnce between Colin Powell and Wesley Clark?
This day just gets sweeter and sweeter -- imagine! A Freeper asking whether Joe Lieberman has as much stature as Colin Powell?
UPDATED x2: RonV, who was also preparing a diary on this topic at the same time I was, had predicted the four categories of Freeper Response, all of which proved true:
He's a Racist
He's a traitor
He's a bad person
He's been bought off
