Question from Belinda Luscombe from time magazine to Colin Powell

Would you like to extend a personal invitation to any member of congress to leave?

I lost some respect for him when he wentleft for obama.
He still supports him but "doesn't back him."

Whatever that means.

I guess when you go left one can be conveniently vague.

So basically Powell does not agree with his policies, but because they are both black, to a certain degree, he is bound to "support" him.

So no problem with me saying I support Romney because he is WHITE!

He has come out for Obama but I haven't seen him doing any campagning. I could be wrong but I think he is a Democrat so that would explain it. He'd be a much better President but he didn't want to expose his family to the media hype that a candidate is exposed to.

Now, I always thought he was a Republican, a RINO maybe? However, I could be wrong. :biggrin:

Colin was undeclared all thru his military career. However, in 2000 he went with GWB and essentially becaome a Republican.

That lasted for only two years when he was Secretary of State.

I don't think he and George saw eye to eye and so the Rino/GOP Prez let him go. I didn't think Powell was ever a conservative anyway, so that surprised me.

Despite both being centrist and RINOs I was always amazed that Powel and McCain did not hit things off well either. Suggesting that Colin simply would rather run with the Asses than the Elephants. He was a good soldier an served his country well. For that he deserves out thanks. but serving this President has got to be stressful for him.

But he needs to stop being a black politician and, once again, become an American.

He's a paper tiger schmuck. Powell is a Obama supporter solely because he's black.

I wouldn't vote for him if he was running for dog catcher.
