Well, Colin Powell just endorsed Obama on Meet the Press! I think this is the final nail in the McCain/Palin coffins.

I know, some folks are going to say it is an ethnic vote, African American/black endorsing African American/black. Both men are not 100% AA.

I think I may not have to move from the USA in November, as threatened. I have time to wait, and there is still a possibility that the outcome will be different than what I hoped for, but ..... we shall see.

Note to self: Cancel the moving company for November.....

I tuned in to the program, just as he made that announcment. Didn't
see the whole interview, but I'll check it out later on the news website.

Just saw the entire interview. Wow. It was a very well thought out
opinion and given flawlessly by Colin Powell. I believe there are many other
well respected Republicans who agree with him. Great interview. Links
here.........

So CP's endorsement is worth what?

One vote? His own?

To even suggest that it's an "ethnic thing" smacks of a little "Racecardism".
Everyone screams about it when they THINK some makes a statement that might be racist, But it's quite O.K. to come out suggest it and then bring in BO's and CP's background.


Amazing.

Actually, Cp is a man I would have crossed party lines to vote for as Prez.

(not in this election, but in previous campaigns)

Me too, because he seems to have a little more substance than one of the current choices, but he also has goals.

CP's endorsement comes late in the game and has to be looked at as a push for a cabinet slot. No problem there. We have already had men and women as SofS and they have made some in roads for our foreign policy. CP won't make that much of a dent or a difference. Now, if he was GORT- from the Day the Earth Stood Still-I'd have to say he'd kick some foreign arse.

It's a slow news day when a retired military officer steals the news for his one vote for president.

Couldn't possibly be that he wanted to wait and see the debates...the candidates positions? Nah!

We have had men and women as Secretary of State???

As opposed to what? Cats and dogs??

Seriously?


This is all you can say to that? THAT is the context you see this in?

You are either really arrogant or really stupid.

Personally, I think you are very intelligent... WAY passive aggressive, but still intelligent. Why hide it? Just say what you mean and mean what you say. It's not like you ever fool anyone.

Most of the people who discuss here can do so without the bullcrap. I have admittedly failed recently and AM trying to "do better". I ask that you just stop with the passive aggessive thing. Pretty Please? Just play your cards straight up.

This place is getting more fun by the minute! What a pity I have to go to work and miss some of it.
