Michael Powell endorses McCain for President.

Michael Powell wears shades and will not look Obama in the eyes, for fear of being brain washed. Michael Powell is no sell out and wants what's best for our nation.

 

It is not usually a newsworthy endorsement when someone who is already on your campaign staff still supports you. I guess with all the rats fleeing the ship you think it is worth a thread.

Who really cares what Collin Powell's son thinks anyhow? He did a shit job when on the FCC.

 

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa so everyone that endorses Obama is a sell out and doesn't want whats best for the nation?

Endorsement from January? Guess McCain doesn't have any new endorsements /s

 

LOL - yeah, (attempts Palin's RNC, prom-queen smirk), kinda like news, except that his endorsement took place in January of this year, and he is on McCain's staff.

I guess since we're bringing up old endorsements, now, how 'bout those military officers...

No, no, Xphic - like the officers above, not sellouts, but traitorous anti-Americans, who hate U.S. veterans, like Obama and all his supporters hate U.S. veterans, etc. Let's keep our definitions straight.

 

Yea, everyone knows you definitions and what you are..... Poll Suggests U.S. Troops Support McCain 3-1 A Military Times poll indicates landslide support for John McCain, who captures 68 percent of the military vote to Barack Obama's 23 percent.

Why, no, Homebiz, I don't believe everyone knows what I am, respecting my views on my land, and on my fellow service people, as a U.S. navy veteran mobilized during the Iranian hostage crisis. From the vantage point of your civilian easy chair, in between the chips and Dew, did you wish to pontificate, again?

 

I think everyone knows, you have made it clear.


BTW, Powell along with the military support McCain. 3-1 is 3-1, that's 68%. The military can see the lies, flip-flops and low moral liberal agenda Obama is pushing. No thanks Obama.

 

That really says a lot about our military. Obama wanted to cut and run and sought defeat for our military. McCain wanted success, as he knew the consequences of defeat through experience.

Colin Powell has been the only high profile defection and I don't think that's surprising to anyone. The others were "no names" that may have had a name years and years ago, but don't have anything going today.

Powell really had no choice. He betrayed the republican party and he knew he would not have a political career unless he got behind Obama. Some suggest it's race, and there could have been something there, but from the bigger picture...Powell see's Obama as the populist and most likely to win, so he put his gamble there to lock his future in.

A few guys that liberals love to hate, like McClellan. They all seem to be in the same category. McClellan sold out for book money and was disgraced and debunked. What's he going to do...."endorse" McCain? No, he has no career in the republican party. Their only hope is to offer an endorsement to the other side and hope they get a job.

Good riddance!

 

This is what you call DP irony.

 

Irony? That's not the word I was thinking.

I'm flattered to see a few guys that liberals loved to hate and hate often, who sold out their party, have no alternative for a job, but to switch over. The dem party can have them, that's where they belong anyway

 

Yes, I have. I am a U.S. navy veteran who served honorably in our armed forces, first mobilized during the Iranian hostage crisis. I've honored vets since then.

You've also made yourself clear. You've chosen to call me a traitorous anti-American, a disgrace to my country, a low life who trashes vets. Or, returned to repping, again and again, with the theme:

As I've said, both in your whine in PM and here, on the board, you may find this passes for stones, but until you've served in my shoes, you'd best simply drop this one. Or, take a cue from Gtech on this particular notion:

Biz, there is no doubt that military personnel likely favor McCain over Obama, though I've not seen a representative, statistical sampling of the military at large. Their perfect right, and I respect that.

What you fail to realize is that posting data that is by its own admission skewed only weakens whatever credible argument you'd like to make. The Military Times poll you continue to rely on admits it is not representative of the military as a whole:

Post good data, be proud of a good point, and you might earn a modicum of respect.

 

Can I get a quote of you saying he's now un-American?

That would round things out nicely

 

So the older, more senior rank military personnel views on the election do not count? Yea, everyone knows.


Where is the post you have been referring to for the past month or so?

 

No, I reserve "un-American" for people like John Murtha, John Kerry, Harry Reid and some of Obama's best buds like Bill Ayers and the good ol' Rev Wright. Those kind of liberal democrats.

Can I get a quote from you saying he's now a great American?

 

It do get thick. Of course they're interesting. If you'd like it to represent the military as a whole, best to get a source that doesn't admit it is a statistically biased sample.

You might believe that this passes for "smarts" in forum tactics. I've already provided many, many examples, and those whose opinions matter to me, have gotten it. But to stop your need for attention, I'll ask you directly, and I'll expect a direct reply.

Am I "anti-American?"

 

No Sir, I reserve great American for people like Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Barack Obama, and the millions of Americans who used their vote to try and save you all from 4 extra years of Bush.

In all fairness, John McCain really tried to stick it to George Bush on his economic policy a whopping 10% of the time. But I guess the only title that earns you these days is "Maverick".

 

Eeeeewwww. Oh well!

Apparently I misjudged what appeared to be overwhelming excitement of the defections by the left! Hey, who would've thought?

It certainly wasn't socialist or marxist ideologies like the ones Obama is espousing. Taking from the rich to give to the poor, spreading the wealth around, entitlements, handouts, silencing opposition. These all breed laziness and remove incentives for progress.

Obama want's to divy up the loaf of bread and try to give everyone a slice. McCain wants to create more bakeries so people can go to work and make their own loaves of bread.

 

Psst, we tried that for the past 8 years.

They didn't create more bakeries they just bought themselves more bread and ate it.

Then they gave themselves a golden parachute woven of the American people's savings and parachuted to safety when it all crashed.

Giving corporations freedom to grow is one thing. Giving them the keys to the economy then deregulating it and watching them go is called the fox guarding the hen house.

 

Psst, no we didn't! Not even close.

Corporations had freedom to grow and they did. Mixing that in with the fannie mae/freddie mac collapse, due to the inaction of democrats despite repeated efforts by republicans to point out the problems, is a separate issue.

Let's do a recap on that:

http://www.ldsmag.com/ideas/081017light.html

So what we have, is a direct dereliction of duty on the part of the media to go out of it's way to avoid the story. Many of us know the story, but the media wouldn't dare go with this right now. Why? Who in their right mind would put the party responsible for one of the largest financial failures in our history into office?

Obama and the democrats are not part of the solution. They were part of the problem, from day one.

So you very much have a point about the fox guarding the hen house. Let's just make sure we know who the fox is and who the chickens are

BTW, the author of that piece is a democrat.

 

I guess it depends on which John McCain we're talking about.
