I just watched that again David, I saw it this mornin on CNN, Colin Powell is a very intelligent man with a good grip on things. He's not an easily led fool, a communist/socialist, OR a liberal. He's like me, a centrist. He said a lot of things I've been thinkin...
I am not at all shocked.
Black Bird's of a feather......
Sounds like we might be a little prejudice!
I already cast my vote for McCain due to early voting. I still would still vote for McCain.I have stated that I would rather see Colin Powell than either of the two running. Months ago I said stop with the Hussein Obama comments. The Sambo, muslim, antichrist, socialist, communist comments. I said stop with the character assassinations. Colin Powell has a 75% approval rating more than anyone else. He represents America today. My presidential choice may still win. To the rest of you that went with the extremist statements I mentioned above, thanks for delivering the death blow.

Colin Powell is respected the country over; I am very pleased that he has endorsed Barack Obama to be the next President Of The United States!
The things I want to say are things that would get me banned permanently off this forum...
And it's hard to ban yourself.. but that is exactly what I would have to do if I even let 1/4 of what my feelings are out. ....
so........................................................................... :-X
I'm done saying anything... I can't control my anger or my disgust for everything and anyone remotely connected to this lying slime bag. And I have too much backwoods redneck in me to be able to stay civil.
So.............I am a silent owner and moderator of this forum until after this circus of an election is over.. and even if McCain wins.. It is still a stinkin' farce. Makes me sick to my stomach.
Move over, Teresa...I'm sitting right next to you on the bench. 'Nuf said.
NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF THIS NATION HAVE SO MANY RUN THE RISK OF GIVING UP SO MUCH TO GET SO LITTLE
Shhhh---you are shouting again Frank.
I agree, Frank...
Couple days ago Colin Powell was the guy you all would vote for now it sounds like you wouldn't vote for him for dog-catcher! I'm sorry but he's still the same guy, I'd still vote for him and he gave a pretty good argument for his decision. This election is makin people NUTS! I stand by what I said the other day, it's just another election.....workin yourself up into a lather over it doesn't change that....everyday people will do what they have always done which is keep on keepin on.
Even with his temporary lapse in judgement, I would still vote for Colin Powell. It is not Colin Powell who is the turd in the punchbowl.
I hope the passion that we all have here on the forum translates into people voting. I can deal with the difference of opinions. It is much harder to accept those that don't vote. It is one of the most sacred duties ascribed to us in a democracy. I am satisfied that no matter what the outcome of the election there are several hundred people that actually care to do their duty.
David
BTW! Tomorrow, is the absolute last day that folks in Kansas can register to vote! ;) ;)

If he does run for dog-catcher, it had better be on the democratic ticket because I suspect he just shot his wad big time with the Republican Party.

And.... oh yes, he is the BIG turd in this punchbowl.... this endorsement as he calls it, is a bit like Et Tu, Brute (Even you, Colin?) and Judas Iscaroit's 30 pieces of Silver, to the Republican Party. This was a big time move, planned with perfection on the parts of Powell and the Obuma crowd, set to go off 16 days before the election. This is why the Obuma campaign has been in contact with Powell numerous times hoping to bring him over to their side. Like I said, "Birds of a Feather....

You better get down there then, sdm.... may I suggest registering with ACORN? You might get a free cigarette or a dollar bill and you don't have wait in line... and best of all, you do not have to use your own name and social security number. Isn't that great? Here's one you might try: Hillary Obuma 666-66-6666.
Okay, have it your way. YOU! ::) ::)

Yeah I vote every time, may vote for third party if I don't like either major candidate but I vote!

I really like the way y'all allow a fella to have an independant opinion without throwin his ass out of the party........can't be lettin THAT happen... if one guy thinks for himself pretty soon EVERYbody will want to do it :P And that goes for BOTH parties........ >:(
Pam, I also find it amazing how quickly certain people have turned on Colin Powell. It wasn't that long ago that these certain members were saying Colin Powell was a "knowledgeable and sensible man"; and now that he doesn't share the same point of view as they do he is banished.
All the more reason I would never call myself a republican.
:laugh: I love my sister she always knows exactly what to say!!!!!! :laugh: But then again Black Birds of a Feather Flock Together right...:laugh:
This comment is directed to those that take offense to Warph's racial comments. He is one of those people that gets off on ruffling the feathers of others (whether they be white feathers or black feathers). I personally pay little attention to what the man thinks, to me it is a complete waste of time to get upset at the narrow-mindedness.
Yes, I do read his posts when I need a little comic relief. There are some posts I sit back and say "Uhm?" and some that make me say "What the *@#&?!?!"
Let me tell you ..in this little bitty county .. a little something.
Warph ( as you all know him) is the LEAST prejudiced person ( as you all term the word "prejudiced" ) I know. If you want to start spouting black and white.... He has more friends that are black than most of you will meet in a lifetime. He also has more political inside experience than most of you have in your little fingers. So before you start sitting on your inexperienced high and might thrones and judging those around you (without knowing that person) you might JUST MAYBE really read what he writes and know that it comes from something most of us lack in this field...... and that is "experience".
The rest of us have opinions............. but there are a few who can walk the walk and not just talk the talk.
If you have any common sense...you can tell Frank knows his oil.. and Warph knows his Politics. ;)
I just wanted to point out that no where in my statement did I say that Warph was a prejudice person. I simply referred to a statement being racial, meaning pertaining to race. "Black birds of a feather," is a racial statement; pertaining to race. No where in my statement did I say that he was prejudiced, or judging anyone based on their race.
The statement I was making was not to let those types of statements get under your skin. From what I have read of his posts many of them are thought provoking and make me say "Uhm?!" as in isn't that interesting. While some of the posts make me say "Whoa, he really enjoys ruffling people's feathers. What the *$@#!?!" I threw in the black and white feathers in my statement to show that he doesn't care what color of feathers he ruffles. I was not attacking the man. I am sure that he is very experienced in politics, how else could he spout the info he does. I do believe that many of his views are narrow-minded, just as I am sure that he would believe that mine are way too liberal.
Now I am afraid that I must get back to my high and mighty throne and leave you to criticize this post. :laugh:LOL! :P
P.S. I have lived outside of this itty bitty county for about 10 years. And in those ten years made many friends and had many experiences that many of you have no knowledge about. :-X :angel:
Hmmm...someone else who likes to keep to her own litterbox...which is purrrrrrfectly fine. :angel:

Warph has made me shoot coffee out my nose more than once! Lol, think I even called him a turd stirrer once when he cracked me up on one.
This whole thing about Colin Powell has been a study in human nature for me....just another example of what happens when somebody cuts out from the herd and tries to do it their own way. I still don't like Obama much but I totally respect Mr. Powell for havin the guts to go against the establishment of his own party and follow his OWN conscience. May more people find them guts and use em in EVERY part of life....
I think that be me she was referring to. I didn't say anyone was anything. I said "sounds like". Now I'll shut up on the matter.
It's amazing how Democrats shun Republicans when we bad mouth one of our own crossing party lines. You think that is soooo amusing. I find things amusing myself. For instance, DEMOCRAT presidential candidate AND vice presidential hopeful Senator Joe Lieberman backing John McCain, a REPUBLICAN. Where was all the concerns with him backing John McCain? The same people that all voted for John Kerry to be president and Joe Lieberman for VP, now consider him to be a sorry SOB. --Mr. Hillbilly

I don't consider him anything but a man with his own opinion! Same as Colin Powell lol. And more power to him! You've obviously mistaken me for somebody who thinks Obama is the man for the job lol, I say again....they BOTH suck!
