Republicans for Obama are Still Republicans:
''Back in the 1860s, a new kind of 'Know-Nothing' American turned against Lincoln’s Anti-slavery Republican Party because of the Civil War. Instead of thinking seriously about political issues, these people categorically voted against Republicans. And thus, they voted for Democrats.''About Republicans, the Know-Nothing Americans said: 'We ain’t ...

You should care, Melinda -- Powell seals the Obama deal
Melinda, as much as I love your name (it's my young daughter's), I see you careening back and forth between exhibiting the sensibilities of a rabid Green party votary who threw the 2000 election to George Bush to make a statement about ideological purity, and the affected moderation required to justify the views of reactionary know-nothings like ...

The Big Bailout...Ha!
There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently?

Re: Fibs! Fibs! The horror!
Thank you, <Crowe> for reminding us of Colin Powell's autobiography and the publicity interviews he gave to support his book in which he had the humility to publicly confess and heartily repent of his lies to the UN General Assembly. It was tragic to watch him be seduced by the sheer power of serving a President of the United States. Many ...

Re: Ombama's Turban
Ret. General Colin Powell recently spoke here in Indianapolis at Butler University, Feb. 18th, 2008, and shared an anecdote how he was stopped at the airport, wanded by security head to foot. In fact, the guy wanding him said, ''Aren't you Colin Powell?'' He replied, ''Yes, I am. If you know who I am, then why aren't you over there trying to ...

Re: Gen. Colin Powell DRaft the Wooley bully man
Emailed Letter to the Editor - The Washington Post - 12/26/07 Draft Colin Powell for President - 2008 Although the votes are not in, it has become quite obvious that the Democrats candidate for president is either going to be Senators Clinton or Obama. On the other hand, it has become quite obvious that the Republicans have no idea who to ...

Colin Powell IS America
Sir- You are an outrageous journalist with a pen. Colin Powell has done more for this country than you will ever do with your scaving words. Why not try to DO something instead of SAYING something. Be in the moment... kinda like the person you so disrespectfully wrote about. Why did you try to shift weight on Powell when the Bush admin is the ...

Colin Powell as Tragic Superhero
His sole superpower, 20/20 hindsight, gets him in trouble. He has to stand up for his beliefs at the appropriate times as opposed to X years down the line. I blog a little more about this here: http://dubesor.wordpress.com/2007/06/15/colin-powell-a-tragic-superhero/

Anyone see Powell on Meet the Press this weekend?
There was an interesting exchange between Powell and Russert. Russert was asking him about his meetings with Barack Obama about policy - Powell admitted to meeting with Obama twice. Then later he was asked about who he would endorse/support for President from among the Republicans. Powell demurred and said that he would support the best person ...
