This is the SAME person that told us Saddam can launch a weapon in 45mins. It was such a great lie that Tony fucking Blair used it.

Only Israel can do it in 45 mins plus they have wmds and nuclear weapons supplied by the US and never admit to having them.

why is it when a black man makes it to a high position, he has to be called a sell out by his own people. STFU

[MyTotalRemedy]

? They shouldn't have cut the deal with Obama, not worry about that cheesy label "party of no", and pass Paul Ryan's "extreme", "radical" budget.

[MyTotalRemedy]

I hate this pompous, petulant, progressive Powell.

[dantej32]

How can a RUPUBLICAN honestly not support a TAX CUT? With that, Obama just won the election. Stupid House repugs

[dantej32]

Dude, I do not agree with either party on everything. Like I said, I do not play the partisan BULLSHIT you filthy neo cons like to play. Did not vote for Obama and I wont do it again. But Clinton had people working. I bring TRUTH. Clinto AVERAGED 2 MILLION NEW JOBS per year. FACT Is that bad? He left a surplus. Was that bad? I will not support a PIN HEAD like Palin simply because she is republican. She believes dinosaurs and humans co existed. You would support that dumb bitch?

[dantej32]

You simply make statements with NOTHING to back up what you say about Powell. I never said Powell was off limits. Where did I say that? But you sip the kool aid of the filthy neo cons that spend money to no end and borrow BILLIONS rom COMMUNISTS. Accept the UNAMERICAN Patriot act because it makes cowardly neo con filth feel safer. Anyone willing to trade some liberty for security DESERVE NEITHER! Go Ron Paul who tells the truth and not rah rah talking points

How can you be a Republican if you agree with the Democrats on everything and think Clinton was a good President, and I'm guessing Obama too.

People should be part of a party who's views line up with theirs at least remotely.

[dantej32]

I am a republican. I am non a filthy neo con partisan person like you are. Clinton was a good President. THERE WAS PROSPERITY when he was president and all you filthy neo cons can say is that he lied about a blowjob. Powell was stabbed in the back. You can say I like Powell because he is black, BUT I TOLD THE TRUTH. that is something you cannot honestly say especially when you invoke the name of Dick Cheyney. Powell is not off limits. Just bring truth and PROVE IT!

[MyTotalRemedy]

You just love him because he's black.

[MyTotalRemedy]

I thought you liberals love Clinton?

Powell is in Clinton's mold. A backstabbing, disloyal, dishonest liberal who tries to have his image whitewashed.

[MyTotalRemedy]

You act like Powell somehow didn't get adored. He DID, his positives stayed high when everybody else's went down because of his sheer disloyalty and media PRing.

If Powell is off-limits because of his war record, why isn't McCain? Like most on the right, I don't like him, but for crying out loud Powell never had to deal with being tortured.

There's more to life than someone's race. Powell, like Obama, Jesse Jackson, and Kanye West, fails the character test.
