    Which is of course why he acknowledges that Obama is a "lefty," while Buckley is not:

    I will be really curious to see what some folks will have to say should Colin Powell endorse Obama tomorrow, in his much-anticipated date on Meet the Press.

    Good lord....what, 10 threads overnight, knee-jerk postings, all of which say, to me, anyway, based on your hundreds of posts on the matter, that we have one very white guy screaming "Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Terror! Obama's gonna' win!!!!!" He's joined by ignorant boobs at McCain rallies, equally terrified, saying "Obama scares me," "He's an....an...an...Arab," so much so that even McCain lowers his head in abject shame. And you're talking about minorities crying? Hysterical.:rolleyes:

    Because of the negativity, I personally can't imagine Powell endorsing McCain.

    Will racial pride have something to do with it?

    You'd think it would. But I think McCain's negativity will make it easier for Powell. For all we know he won't endorse anyone. (Has he said he will indeed endorse someone?)

    Two of his colleagues said he was endorsing Obama but of course they were off the record. He will announce it on meet the press.

    Dude. Get over it. People like Obama because they agree with his vision to take the country in the direction that it needs to go.

    Sure "Willie the wino", who probably won't vote anyway may like Obama just because...., but you would really insult a respected, highly decorated General and Veteran of our U.S. Military and belittle his endorsement and opinion as "Down wit my Homies". ?

    Man ! You just don't have any respect for anyone, and everything IS a race issue with you. I would love to be around on the day (even if it's one of your last) where you can judge a man on the content of his character, and the issues. I am sure if that day ever comes, you will realize how much time you wasted in your life as others passed you by.

    I missed this. As predicted, should Powell endorse Obama tomorrow, be on the watch for people last year hating Obama, calling him, literally, an Islamic terrorist plant, (insert other vomitus here, at will) making sure to tell us it isn't "racial," because, well, they're "really into Colin Powell....SEEEE??????"

    Now that Powell may endorse Obama, it's "racial pride."

    For the life of me, I have no idea where anyone would get the idea.

    :eek:

    Just think if everyone put that much energy into doing something with their family, or making the world better, on Saturday!

    The problem as I see it with Cable is, I pay a premium to have a choice in programming, yet all the programs keep shoving liberal BS down my throat, even HBO.

    Thank God porn has stayed neutral to politics. I can't imagine how ugly everyone would be if they were all like some of the people on MSNBC.

    lol, sorry you guys don't approve.

    So what does John McCain stand for again. Why do you like him so much?

    No tax hikes - kill terrorists - make our own energy - tax deduction for my health insurance - leave Jer the phuck alone because he knows best how to spend his own money.

    Do I like him? I respect him, and his service. Like what he stands for vs. Obama and the "spread the wealth" socialism he's spouting. Sure.

    Rather have Huckabee.
