I say Colin Powell for President

[ba1614]

With Cain the Muslimphobe? No.

He's not an 'Islamophobe', Charlie. But it's sweet that you take one sentence from an individual and dismiss him completely for it. I wonder if you do that with everyone, or just those you're looking to 'hate'? Don't bother answering. I already know the answer. I've read enough of your posts to know.

I want someone who will unite the country, not alienate blacks and Muslims.

I want someone who will tell those same muslims and blacks to fuckoff and quit playing the victim.

 

[Mr.Nick]

I'd say Powell with either Susan Collins or Olympia Snowe as his running mate.

Meh, that's not gonna set the country alight with enthusiasm. Ya know, I'd love to see him and Cain! Man, that would blow the Dems minds.

With Cain the Muslimphobe? No.

You act like there is nothing wrong with Islam..

Islam has only been attacking people for pretty much zero reason other than they're NOT Muslims for about the last 1300 years...

I would assume Islamophobia is warranted, especially considering the violence they cause here in the states and how small of a population they are...

How many terrorist attempts or attacks have there been here in the states perpetrated by AMERICAN Islamic radicals since 9/11??? and what is their population?? 2% of the population is Muslim...

So yeah, there is cause to have a bias...

This guy sucks. No more. He was the coward that retreated from gulf war one, which we could of easily won the damn thing the first time.

it wasnt his decision to retreat.....

funny how Cheny did not think this during the second invasion....

 

[Bass v 2.0]

Of course "conservative" to a socialist is a progressive democrat.

At one point I liked the guy but he's a big government assclown today. He would be no better than Newt...

So what are his policies and stances, real quick hurry Nick!! Retard.

Just so I don't have to write a thesis, his positions are comparable to Hillary Clintons presently...

Basically you don't know his positions.

I have an issue with your 'want'. The majority of Muslims and blacks do not 'play the victim'. A small, vocal, minority do and you are projecting their voices onto the silent majority of both. I know both blacks and Muslims, and some black Muslims... and I have yet to meet one who feels like a 'victim'. Most are just like you and me.... Americans. I am tired of whiners on the right projecting their opinions onto others. Your opinion of Blacks and Muslims is wrong. It is naive, narrow, and mindless.

Great. Another lying half-breed meathead.

did you get that full body shave yet Hairball?......your 18 year old girlfriend is getting tired of all the hair on her sheets...

Great. Another lying half-breed meathead.

Meaning what, assface?

 

[Claudette]

I have a lot of respect for Powell but don't believe he will ever run for POTUS.

He wouldn't put his family through that meat grinder.

Smart man.

 

[Si modo]

Too many crazies on the right, time to nominate a true moderate and true conservative.

I'd support him, Bass; I think Gen. Powell is a good and honest man who is the kind of leader who could reunite this country if that can be done at all.There's just one problem; apparently, he doesn't want the job. I wish he did.

Yup. Major detail. Condi doesn't want it, either.

Personally, I'd vote for Condi in a NY minute.

 

[Bass v 2.0]

If not Powell then Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe on a ticket.

Nah, he's an American... a real one. Loves the Constitution, cares for his fellow man, believes in sacrifice and achievement. He's a really decent man. This country would be honored to have him. And if he'd run with Rice on the ticket, we'd be rockin'.

I strongly disagree with that...

He's a big government hack...

Basically you don't know his positions.

He has really never stated them other than claiming he agrees with X, Y and Z.

So you can only take him on what he agrees with...

For the past 5 or so years he has been agreeing with progressives, more notably Hillary Clinton...

Yeah, he agrees with other big government hacks....

Do you not pay attention to what he has been saying over the last 5-6 years???

He is like a Hillary Clinton tool...

He hasn't said anything conservative in 5 years...

All he says is "I agree with the president on this" or "I agree on Hillary's position on this."

As far as politics hes never said "I believe _____________________."

I should have worded it differently. I was referring to the ones who cry about being alienated when I used the term " tell those same".
I have nothing but respect for most of those folks I've met.

Every demographic has it's 'whining' minority. Why expect blacks or Muslims to be different to the rest of us? They aren't.

I like Powell because he is a decent, honorable man. I may not agree with him on every issue but I'm grown up enough to recognize that I'm not the most important person on the planet and the country is as much 'yours' as it is 'mine'. It is, in fact, 'ours'. And we need people who can find paths that provide the best way forward for all the people that make up America.

Powell endorsed Obama. End of story.

Do you not read papers???

Now you're going on my ignore list aka the penalty box...

I'm not going to play your ignorant games especially when your ignorant mind argues common knowledge..

I actually don't care if they're black, white, yellow, pink or blue. Demographic doesn't matter too me, we need someone who will tell all the whining "poor me" types to fuckoff. The post I responded to was about blacks and muslims, that's all.

And as blastoff said, "Powell endorsed Obama. End of story.". Shows me all I need to know about his judgement, or character if it was a black thing.
