OH MY WORD???????? Colin Powell did WHAT?

[mama]

Colin Powell endorses Obama for second term.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell on Thursday endorsed Barack Obama in his bid for re-election, citing the Democratic president's efforts to wind down the war in Afghanistan and tackling terrorism.

"And so I think we ought to keep on the track that we are on," the Republican, who also backed Obama in 2008, told "CBS This Morning."

Yeah, I noticed that earlier today; it just goes to show that not all Republicans are sheep, but I would say about 85% of them are.

So mama, what did you think he was going to do? Admit he made a mistake in 2008? Four Star Generals, whether active duty or retired, never admit to making a mistake.

So Powell voted against Romney in 2008? Nothing has changed since 2008?

true, he has never admitted he was part of the war crimes cover up in nam, but colin admitted he was wrong and stood up to lil bush about the bogus iraq war long before he supported obama

Yep, patriotism, intelligence, and integrity....Colin has them all. I've always wondered how much satisfaction Colin got by GW illustrating yet again his monumental stupidity when he got rid of Colin and kept Rumsfeld.

rstrong, Powell endorsed Obama in 2008. Keep up.

Powell is a bench warmer. He rode the Bush horse until he saw a shift in the wind and then he bailed out.

If he was true to his convictions, why did he wait until the wind shifted to speak up.

[neoplacebo]

Because he has integrity....he served at the pleasure of his president. If I'm not mistaken, Powell drafted his resignation letter a long time before GW asked him to go (Colin was ready to leave but didn't because his boss didn't want him to.....it's that chain of command thing).

I posted nothing to contradict this. Romney wasn't the Republican candidate four years ago. Keep up.

"Reality" seems to think that voting for Romney this time would be "admitting a mistake." And yet we have a different Republican candidate, and a lot has happened in four years.

My question stands: So Powell voted against Romney in 2008? Nothing has changed since 2008?

I am glad our lib friends are orgasmic over Powell supporting Obama again. We cons don't give a damn, but at least Obama held on to one that won't switch their vote in 2012.

and you figured that out by reading a few lukewarm factual comments by libs, some idiocy from the unreal character and some spewed racism by hubie

rstrong, neither you nor I know who Romney voted for in 2008 but we both know who he endorsed.

And....?

We were talking about Colin Powell. You yourself said that "Powell endorsed Obama in 2008."

I bet the one who let you hose down B-52's in the Air Force is still running from that one.
