Or brain dead.

You don't need to be "brainwashed" to understand the rudimentaries of language, words, qualifications and education and don't gone the hysterical route - like some.

Right.

Which is why so many Americans think Sotomayor is a reverse racist and unfit to serve on the court.

Powell tries to tell his fellow Republicans his motives but they will have none of it.

They are idiots.

I wonder if Powell is working toward being on the ticket with Obama in 2012?

Oh, no Powell wants to be on the republican ticket, though he does belong on the democrat one.

Powell is loyal to his race, not his party. He says Americans want to pay more taxes.

He is not a republican. He is a democrat. Powell is trying to stir things up in the republican party.

Ignore him.

You are a typical Obama voter, Wolf.
All you can do is try to insult people you disagree with because you can't think of anything else to say.

I could think of plenty to say. But I save that for reasonable people. Anyhow, thanks for identifying me as an Obama voter.

The Owebamabots are on the board.

That is a good indication that things are heating up for democrats. They sense the public's disapproval.

Vote out TAXocrats in 2010 and 2012.

This from the Flip Flopping Colin Powell;
"Colin Powell worries Obama has taken on too much"
"I think one of the cautions that has to be given to the president — and I've talked to some of his people about this — is that you can't have so many things on the table that you can't absorb it all.
And WE CAN'T PAY FOR IT ALL," Powell said.

Joe Biden's been banished with a target on his back to Iraq, send Colin Powell immediately to Afghanistan!
Make him ambassador to Afghani goats!

You can't name one thing Powell has flipped on. Supporting one view on one issue and another view on ANOTHER issue is not flip flopping. Its called having independent judgment instead of blindly following what talk show hosts to you to you idiot.

Powell is not really a Republican and is a prime example of why the Republican party lost the last elections. He supported Obama and that was either a racial thing or a Democrat thing, now a liberal Supreme Court nominee. I wish he would just get it over with and switch parties he is giving Republicans a really bad name. But again maybe that is his plan.

Powell is the one who went on CNN and trashed another Republican to defend a Democrat.

Yeah? Joe Lieberman campaigned with John McCain. He's in the Democratic camp. He has enemies, but he's here.

Remember Zell Miller? He was tolerated too.

General Powell is a registered Republican. Do you have to like him? No. But you need his vote, and the votes of Republicans who think like him. Throw them out, and we'll have Democratic Senators from Texas again.

Just like the days of LBJ!

"or somebody who is quite prominent in the media says the only basis upon which I could possibly have supported Obama was because he was black and I was black even though I laid out my judgment on the candidates, then we still have a problem."
I guess Powell has a personal grudge against Limbaugh and that's why he goes out of his way to carry on a debate with him in the pro-Obama lib news media.
Maybe Powell should sit down and have a face-to-face talk with Limbaugh and get some of his anger off his chest.

Limbaugh attacked Powell on his show. Powell's words are a response.
You missed this too?

The zealots are blinded by arrogance and hubris. So they'll lose in 2010 and 2012 too. A house divided...
The solution for the GOP probably entails the rise of leaders strong enough to put the likes of Limbaugh, Hannity, et al in their proper place to ensure a winning coallition.

Is this the same colin powell that went before the UN and World decrying Iraq and saying we SHOULD Attack them because they had Weapons of Mass Destruction, Mobile weapons labs, centrifuges, etc?

Just want to make sure we've got the same "credible" guy since we found all of that in iraq!

This moron is all over the map. Today he also said Obama was Wrong to borrow and spend like this too!

Which powell should we beleive? I'll say NONE of them! He got the most important decision of his life Wrong!

Dear, you have not been paying attention - we Obamabots, Obamasupporters, Owebamabots (whatever childish puerile name you want to call us) have been around for a long time and will continue to be "around" whether we are heating up or colding down.

See ya in 2010 and 2012!

Rush Limbaugh illegally used and abused oxycoton to the point of losing his hearing; and yet this is the obese piece of [expletive] whose word you pathetic right-wing fools will elevate above a General who spend his entire life to protecting this nation.

Don't get me wrong, I love that you right-wing nuts are suffering and infighting but it just amazes how stupid and gullible you guys are; following the wrong people. The stupid leading the pathetically stupid, LOL.

You are right - after two disastrous press conferences from two governors, telepwwwwompters should be required for anyone who wants to put two sentences together and sound rational, responsible and intelligent.

Though, at least one of the governors was telling the truth - the painful truth - but at least the truth.

Didn't Powell emphatically state recently that he is a republican't. Wouldn't that be considered "loyal to his party" over race?

Geez you people should be holding those dear to you who state such a fact - after all you have many who have jumped ship recently and your party is in disarray with no leadership and credibility.
