Such is not plausible? Or is it plausibly deniable?

Could have been worse - Bush and/or Cheney could have endorsed him...

Can't stand the guy myself but when exactly did he say this? Or is this a paraphrase?

or...there no term limits.

[Gee]

there are many reasons for calling colin powel racist by endorsing obama

1. Powell has never supported any positions remotely similar to Obama’s.
2. Powell is not a socialist as far as we know
3. he is sure not a liberal Democrat like Obama or his agenda.
4. He knew he would appear racist for many people by endorsing obama publicaly and inspite of that he did it as if he is calling for a racist election.
5. Powell has no substantive reason to back Obama besides race

Cry and wail all you want, but that’s the truth.

Deal with it.

Try that on CNN or MSNBC.
-- They will find every piece of hair you ever dropped and find it to blame you..

[Gee]

Reuters mentioning that powell kissing obama's *** to get a job!

========= quote ===========
Powell, who served in the military and government for 40 years, said he is not looking for a job in an Obama administration. However, he said, "I've always said if a president asks you to do something, you have to consider it."
=========================

Any motive for such public endorsement is not justified!

I have no problem with black people and I wish if John mccain chose condolezza Rice as vice president.. I love this woman!

she is black and woman and she has much experience

First off DON'T put words into my mouth. Second did I mention race at all? Colin Powell and Barack Obama both believe in income redistribution,affirmative racism and Social welfare programs.

There is a link there for you to click on.

No substantive reason?

I truly pity you by judging people by color and not substance.

I am sure you have great insights on other cultures and religions in this world.

Sorry this evolved into a race issue.

I was very impressed with his analysis and weighing the options.

Gen. Powell clearly expresses his admiration of both candidates.

It appears that the GOP's lost direction over the past eight years and the selection of Sarah Palin strongly influenced his decision.

I feel in good company as I have stated time and time again that this was going to be my virtual tie breaker - the VP candidate.

You sure do like playing that "race card" dont you?, Unfortunately for you, it's NOT working.

I suppose you think that anyone NOT voting for Obama is a Racist too right? It seems the ONLY people I see injecting "Race" into this campaign, are Obama supporters, why is that?

[cleverlyslick]

mccain is a scumbag like bush.he wants to accuse obama of having ties to bill airs but what about his corrupt a**.

Race should never be a reason to vote for a candidate.

I consider Obama as much white as he is black, that is the truth regarding his race.

I would not consider myself a loyal Obama supporter but certainly anti-Mccain for TOO many reasons.

That's good to hear, What I take insult to is when you and others here attempt to paint Republicans like bd77 or anyone else here as "Racist" when their NOT!
