............and I knew it. Last week some of you guys were praising Powell. Black man, Republican, member of Bush's first administration, "oh it's not about race" , "why can't a black conservative run"?
Here we have a celebrated, Republican, War hero, ex Bush cabinet member, Conservative. Admired by you guys only JUST last week. But instead of his decision being based off his making a good decision by stepping back to take a good look at each candidate AND their running mate and their proposed plans, he's just simply a nigger lover.
funny.
Flame on!
I'd still vote for him if he would run.

The only political endorsement I consider is whether the NRA backs one candidate versus another. I couldn't care less who Colin Powell, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, yada yada yada endorses.

I never said anything either way:)
I'm either way on General Powell. I have huge respect for what the man has done, but I don't think he would make a good President. I don't understand how a guy can say he is a conservative and then go against what his core beliefs (or at least those of the party) to vote for someone.
I do think every bit of his decision is because of the Bush administration trying to screw him over.

Look into Obama and Biden's firearm histroy, and it will make you shudder. Biden was the originator of the "assault-weapons ban", that finally lapsed. You know the one that said a 15 round mag was "an assault weapon"? :confused: Obama fought (and voted) against many gun reform bills in Illinois.

I liked powell until i heard this. Not BECAUSE of this, but because it made me look further into the man. I guess you can say I liked him for the same reason most people like Obama: they only see the surface, and don't look past it.
After looking a little bit more into him, i woudl definately vote for him over Obama, but it's eerily apparent his endorsement is one out of spite. Maybe not race, but out of spite against republicans.

10-20-2008, 10:49 AM
While I am sure some of his decision was based on race , I really don't think Powell is voting solely for that reason . He's an educated black man thats made his way through the ranks of the military and served under both Bush presidents . I'm sure he's a little pissed about how things turned out with the Bush boys and that probably had more to do with his decision than anything else . If a black person votes for Obama because they feel he's the best person running , great . In my opinion , I see most blacks voting for Obama simply because they feel they are going to be a part of something historical even if its not the right person for the job .
Notice I used the term blacks instead of the other word . Those other types will either not vote , can't vote or will without a doubt vote for Obama because he's black and no other reason .
I still have respect for both Powell and Rice . They are what all blacks should strive to be in life .

1.) I could give a crap about firearms
2.) His stance on abortion is pretty much the same as McCain's. That issue is deep but, it's not gonna determine why I vote for a candidate.
3.) His Health Care plan makes sense for me and my business and employees.
4.) I happen to be a small business owner that falls outside of his 95% when it comes to business earnings and I'm also way outside of that same % when it comes to personal as well but, I'm okay with that. The economy needs healing, there are people out there that are less fortunate than myself. The last point took alot of research on my part and in the end, because trust me when I say........I HATE PAYING THESE TAXES. Our personal taxes that wwe have to pay equals what 60% of people on this board make all year long. SO I HATE PAYING AT A 32% RATE. Thank God for good CPAs. :D
5) McCain is rash, Obama has a cool head.

I will say this, for a "celebrated, Republican, War hero, ex Bush cabinet member, Conservative", he sure did get screwed while in office and after leaving office by both the Bush Administration and the Republican party.

I also don't understand people that have to 'get to a conclusion.' I know what I believe. Everyday I wake up I know what I believe.

I think J.J. is a little too extreme and cannot be polished like they have done with Obama . Make no mistake , if J.J was at some point in time the front runner like Obama is , I think just as many blacks would show up for him . Fortunately , he's not ........
I personally think that Obama has this in the bag but he will have the white women voters to thank and not the black community for putting him in the white house . I honestly doubt the black community will actually show up in force to make a significant difference in the race . Those who do show up will almost definitely vote for B.O except for the guy who called Obama's mama trash .
In the end , its going to probably come down to a couple of states that make the difference just like in the past two elections . I hope McCain gets the nod but we shall see .

He decided to to go totally against his own political standings to endorse a fellow black man because he is black, what do you want everyone to say? He basically said in the Tom Brokaw interview. I am disappointed that someone I had held in such a standing would do this, but am glad to know now versus later. I guess voting strictly on skin color is acceptable after all.
Now just for you. I have noticed the last month an increase in your barrage of passive-aggressive attacks on whites, which after doing you then stand back and wait for everyone to come to your defense and say "oh you just don't know him, he's just joking around."

I remembered they said the same thing about John Kerry. How could they say the same thing about Obama... oh wait Obama wasn't around four years ago. :rolleyes:
If you don't understand this, you might as well give up because there is no hope.
Obama WASN'T around 4 years ago, you fucking twit. He was when it comes to state politics. But he wasn't involved in Federal politics until his run for Senate. Jesus tap dancing Christ. :rolleyes:

The only political endorsement I consider is whether the NRA backs one candidate versus another. I couldn't care less who Colin Powell, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, yada yada yada endorses.

WASHINGTON – The National Rifle Association is endorsing Republican presidential nominee John McCain. NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre announced the endorsement Thursday.

I hope that wasn't directed towrds me, because you are just adding to my post. I knew he wasn't around four years ago. But in three years he has became the most liberal voter in the senate. :p That was my point.

Powell disappointed a lot of conservatives with his endorsement of Obama. Being a lifelong Republican and a career military officer, there is no way in hell he has the same political views as Obama. Remember Obama is the most liberal Senator in the party. Like McCain said during one of the debates, it's difficult to reach that far across the aisle. Therefore, logic would dictate that Powell's decision was simply about race. That, and he probably feels like he was thrown under the bus by the Bush Admin. He's a great guy, but my god what a shallow course of action on his part.
I said in that racists thread that Alan Keyes would be someone that I would gladly vote for. He's very black and very conservative. And he's no charlatan either. Someone that actually has a value system and thinks society should follow suit. :eek:
Race in this election has been blown out of proportion to the point of absurdity. If Obama was a centrist Democrat he would probably get my vote. However, he is not. He is the most liberal politician in the Senate. He has a hard on for policy that oddly mirrors socialism. His predilection for associating with radicals (Ayers, Wright), but then only to sever ties with them when it becomes politically damning to his campaign. People labeling him the messiah?!?! Obama and his acolytes are creepy folks. End of story. No one that is reasonable can identify with that non-sense. That's why us crackers don't like Obama.

Powell is a RINO. Pro quotas, pro affirmative action, pro choice. Powell has never endorsed any Causcasian, liberal democrats...why the sudden desire to support a black Marxist?
And Limbaugh NAILED it:
I said, "Secretary Powell says this endorsement's not about race. Okay, fine. What I'm doing now Jonathan is researching Powell's past endorsements to see if I can find all the inexperienced, very liberal white candidates that he has endorsed. I'll let you know what I come up with." Then the next paragraph I sent to Jonathan Martin of the Politico said, "As for Powell's statement of concern that he would have difficulty with two more Republican Supreme Court nominees, I was unaware that he had dislike for John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy, and Antonin Scalia. I guess he also regrets Ronald Reagan making him a four-star general. I guess he also regrets George Bush making him secretary of state. I guess he also regrets George H. W. Bush naming him chairman of the Joint Chiefs. I guess he's also upset that a Republican appointed his son to head the FCC. Yeah, let's hear it for transformational figures," because Powell had said Obama's a transformational figure, and yet Colin Powell is who he is and is a household name because of Republicans.
So I fired that off, and forgot about it. And the next thing I know, into my e-mail comes a Google alert. Martin got that thing up in five minutes and it's all over the Internet with Google and Drudge has linked to it. I hit the shower, got ready for the game, head down, got on the bus, head on over to Green Bay for the game. Apparently all hell is breaking loose and I'm not even aware of it because, of course, Jonathan said, "I really envy you, your Sundays." He said, "I had tickets to the Redskins game today but I can't go because of this Powell thing." I said, "Jonathan somebody has to enjoy life, and it's me, and don't worry, Jon, I'll cover you next week because I'm going to Pittsburgh next week for the Giants and then after that I'm going to Indianapolis for the Patriots. So I'll cheer for you, just tell me which teams you like." So we go to the game, a fabulous time at the game, and I picked the Packers in my little pool. Snerdley walked in today, I said, "How are you?" "Been better." I figured it was the Powell endorsement or something to do with the campaign. He's bent out of shape about the Cowboys. A lot of Cowboys fans are bent out of shape about the Cowboys.
At any rate, flew home after the game, I guess we rolled in at 10:45 or so, got into the house at 11:30. I still wasn't aware how much it had blown up. I did a little work when I went home, went up to bed, it was a long, taxing, exhausting day. I'll tell you, it is tough physically going to a football game. I can't imagine playing in one. I got home last night feeling like I had played in the game. So I got up this morning and talked to Cookie. Cookie says, "Okay, here's a preview of the sound bite roster," and, lo and behold, the media had a cow over this. Folks, I must have struck a nerve on this because everybody in the Drive-By Media has something snarky to say about my two little paragraphs to Jonathan Martin at The Politico regarding the Powell endorsement. Now, there's something else interesting -- I got one thing wrong. It was not a Republican that nominated his son, Michael Powell, to head the FCC. Michael Powell, by the way, has not only endorsed McCain, Colin Powell's son has endorsed McCain, he is campaigning for him. Colin Powell's son is debating Obama surrogates on communications issues. What actually happened was -- and this is even more fascinating -- what actually happened was, and my friend Professor Hazlett informed me of this, it was McCain who got Michael Powell appointed to the FCC by Clinton in order to forge a relationship with his father, Colin Powell, as was reported at the time.
............and I knew it. Last week some of you guys were praising Powell. Black man, Republican, member of Bush's first administration, "oh it's not about race" , "why can't a black conservative run"?
Here we have a celebrated, Republican, War hero, ex Bush cabinet member, Conservative. Admired by you guys only JUST last week. But instead of his decision being based off his making a good decision by stepping back to take a good look at each candidate AND their running mate and their proposed plans, he's just simply a nigger lover.
funny.
Flame on!

I've received several messages on myspace calling me a racist and saying that the black community is going to paint the white house black in 2008 . The only thing I have even related to the election is a clip of Biden saying Obama was not ready to lead .
The people leaving comments like that after watching the clip on of Biden probably don't even know who Biden is. They are the same ones who Howard Stern had interviewed on the the streets of Harlem and said they were voting Obama even after being attributed with McCain's policies. The same group that thinks they are going to "win" something if Obama gets elected.
Ignorance is running rampant more than ever this election year.
Vote Bigfoot!!

No one party has all the answers. You have to vote for the best candidate. Last time I was Republican, this time I'm Dem. Choose the best candidate.
That is all.

I guess your post just struck me the wrong way, becuase I read it the opposite of the way you meant it.

Obama needs the support of whites to win the election. So what does that tell you? :confused:

Sucker!!!
I didn't endorse Powell last week on the weekly "I'm not a racist" thread. I did, however, say that I would vote for Alan Keyes. Actually, he'd be my choice over ANY person in the US right now. If he endorses Obama, as God as my witness, I'll vote for him too. That's how much trust I have in Keyes.
I better see his black ass on the 2012 Ballot!!! :mad:
Thank God.
MonsoonX, you generally seem to have your head on straight, but you've just gone off the fucking deep end this week. My vote has SHIT to do with race. Hell, after I realized what a cook Ron Paul was, my support immediately shifted to Alan Keyes. Where does race play a part here?
You're missing the point that race isn't the issue; Obama is the issue. I don't care what color a motherfucker is, if he lends his support to Obama he's going to lose a shitton of credibility with me. Simple as that.

If none of you have figured it out by now, it's not a black, white, brown, red issue. It's all about one thing....the GREEN. How much green can the white collar criminal, known as our elected government officials, can steal from the unknowing working American people.
