I am still a Republican", he said. "I would like to point out that in the course of my 50 years of voting for presidents, I have voted for the person I thought was best qualified at that time to lead the nation. Last year, I thought it was President Barack Obama. For the previous 20 years, I voted solidly for Republican candidates."Read more: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/05/24/powell-... /--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ha ha, Rush won't get his wish. Probably throwing a temper tantrum right now.

Radical Activist (1000+ posts) Sun May-24-09 01:44 PM16. Powell: Still a lying asshole. He lied for Bush I. He lied for Bush II. Don't trust him for a second.
I'll give them that, Powell is a liar which is why there is little doubt he is a Democrat.
With friends like him, who frickin' needs enemies?
Colon Pow is an opportunist with no concern for anyone but himself. Whatever character the man once had has been bleed from him through his political anus.
Demeter (1000+ posts) Mon May-25-09 04:46 AM45. The Question Is: WHY? Why are you still a Republican, Colin? Are you some kind of masochist? Optimist? Bigot against Democrats? Unable to read the writing on the wall?Think the GOP will make a comeback in your lifetime?It surely cannot be because you espouse the principles of the GOP. Because there aren't any worth espousing. Exposing, maybe.
Ya know, I seem to recall several career soldiers warning the rest of us of that fact, back in the day when the whole ******* country was soooo enamored of teh Colon.
