Colin Powell: "I'm still undecided. Am waiting for the debates."

[secondwind]

[GarbagemanLB]

1. After McCain picking Palin, Colin is a fucking tool for not immediately coming out for Obama.

What an idiot.

[darius15]

2. We could really use his endorsement

he is really popular among independents.

[alcibiades_mystery]

11. Really? Is he?

[pnwmom]

18. I think his endorsement would be significant for many independents.

Especially men.

[Mojorabbit]

23. I think he is

and being from a military family he is still very respected by that demographic despite his UN debacle.

[endthewar]

31. I definitely think so

He was just Bush's official advocate for Bush's foreign policy. Many people still have a positive view of him.

[book_worm]

13. I think its timing--I think Powell would be best a week or two before the election

to endorse Obama.

[Number23]

25. Yes, but then all of the Freepers will accuse him...

of choosing "his race over his country!!1one!!"

Powell is still quite respected, I think. Come better or worse, the man is the son of immigrants who rose to become a 4-star general and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs so he will always get props in some circles for that.

I also think that he is haunted by his role in this immoral, idiotic administration and won't ever forget what's happened to the country under his partial watch.

[gravity]

3. Sounds good

Obama and Biden will out debate McCain and Palin on foreign policy.

[liberalmuse]

No one has told him who to vote for yet.

Is this man even capable of doing anything without it being 'an order'?

[Cha]

4. That statement alone disqualifies

him from being a fucking genius.

[Ian David]

5. John McCain has sought to purchase yellowcake Uranium from Niger.

There.

Now Powell can decide.

[thunder rising]

6. How does it feel Colin Powell to have killed thousands of you own Army. I'm not undecided..Hang'em

[dennis4868]

7. I don't get it...

what will the debates do to help someone like Powell make their decision...he already knows the candidates...he probably knows both of them personally and where they stand on all of the issues so what in the hell will the debates do for the liar Powell?

[alcibiades_mystery]

8. Translation: I'm waiting for the optimal moment to assert my notoriously bad judgment

Fuck Colin Powell.

Mobile Weapons Labs. Warmongering piece of shit.

[kath]

20. You forgot My Lai whitewasher/coverup-er.

Screw him.

[nolabels]

33. Another local right wing old blow hard kicked the bucket the other day

Every once in while i would tune him in just to hear racially instigated bilge as a kind pinch to myself that those kind of people are still out there. Though it was no big loss to other air bags who take up space on the AM radio. I was still glad that i could think to myself of outlasting that dudes 40+ years of slanted views :hi:

LOS ANGELES: George Putnam, the flamboyant broadcasting pioneer whose bombastic style and arch-conservative political views made him one of the highest paid TV news anchors in the U.S. and also one of its most widely lampooned, died of heart failure. He was 94.

9. No surprise here...

I'd rather him be methodical about it before announcing his pick.

[geek tragedy]

10. Just the answer I was hoping for.

He's helping people focus on the issues, and lord knows they need all that kind of help they can get.

[samuraiguppy]

12. I thought that he hated McJerk?

That should make it easy?

[Cronus Protagonist]

14. The man has no credibility left

He sold out, prostituted himself on the world stage and quickly disappeared afterwards, as he should have. In fact, I often wonder how come he's not in jail yet.

[AtomicKitten]

15. Oh, man up, Powell. This is your chance to begin to undo the mess you made of your own integrity.

[flpoljunkie]

16. How could he possible support a candidate whose top foreign policy advisor is a neocon!

Randy Scheunemann--of the Committee to Liberate Iraq and PNAC board member. Perhaps Powell thinks his endorsement would be more meaningful, if he waits. I hope that is his calculation.

[BeyondGeography]

17. Wuss

[chatnoir]

19. He sold his soul when he got up and lied before the UN

Back in 2003, furthering us down the path to an illegal invasion of Iraq. He flushed any credibility he had down the toilet then.

[Riddler]

21. If he hasn't made up his mind yet, that means he is at least considering endorsing McAss

And if that's the case, Powell hasn't learned anything from his years as nothing but a waterboy for the BFEE, and has even less credibility and honor now than he did when he put on the knee pads for Bush.

[WinkyDink]

22. Newsflash: "Opportunistic War Criminal Checking Wind Direction."

[TheDonkey]

37. LOL

[Yavin4]

24. Come on Colin. Throw The Emperor Over The Railing Already

I know there's good in you.

[DefenseLawyer]

26. Colin Powell: "I'm still a war criminal. Am waiting to cut a deal." n/t

[gatorboy]

27. Really? He's waiting for that Palin debate?

Yeah, maybe she'll surprise him. :rofl:

[Bravo Zulu]

28. In what respect,colin?

[zulchzulu]

29. Fuck off Colin

If you aren't decided at this point, you are a worthless ass.

[Arugula Latte]

30. Colin Powell: "I'm waiting to get my testicles out of a lockbox."

[Forkboy]

32. I don't care Colin.

[BlueIdaho]

34. I guess

That lobotomy he got in order to run the State Department for Bush has really made it hard form him to make even simple decisions.

Lets - see... vote for the pathological liar or vote for the future of America... that IS a hard decision!

[TNMOM]

35. how this man can be undecided is beyond me

WTF?:wtf:

[ribrepin]

36. Anybody waiting for Powell to come out swinging against the Repubs has a long wait

He's a life-long republican and a military man. I'm surprised he held out this long. He'll endorse McCain and what's her name.

[avaistheone1]

38. I won't be holding my breath for his announcement.

Powell has coopted himself too much.
