What's The Republican Beef w/Michael Steele and Colin Powell?

[healthmyths]

They are conservatives.
They've served the party well. (in Powell's case too well, he lied and tarnished his character for the party)
Micheal Steele performed well as the RNC Chairman getting MOST of his nominees elected. (to be repaid by being voted out)
They vote Republican (well, Powell voted for Obama in the last 2 elections, but down the party line prior to that)
They spew modern day Conservative rhetoric, still fight for their party.

However, it seems that many, if not most, modern day Republicans, seem to have proverbially kicked them out of the party.

Why is this? What's your beef with these gentleman?

This thread is for the USMB Republicans to respond to.

He voted Democratic.
He was misled or misled us in the war.
He is pro-choice and may be pro-gay as well.

Not much is known about him since he left office.

A Senate report on intelligence failures would later detail the intense debate that went on behind the scenes on what to include in Powell's speech. State Department analysts had found dozens of factual problems in drafts of the speech. Some of the claims were taken out, but others were left in,....

Colin Powell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Do you have a problem with that quote? I have problems with that quote for many reasons.

So were these Democrats MISLEADING US??? Remember they had their information based on Clinton's intelligence community...
32 democrat quotes indicate even before GWB that Saddam was a threat!

"..deny Iraq the capacity to develop WMD".Bill Clinton,1998
"..most brutal dictators of Century", Biden,1998
"Iraq compliance with Resolution 687 becomes shell game"..Daschle 1998
"He will use those WMDs again,as he has ten times since 1983" ..Berger Clinton Ntl. Secur. Advr 1998
"posed by Iraq's refusal to end its WMD programs" Levin 1998
"Saddam has been engaged in development of WMDs which is a threat.."Pelosi 1998 WHERE'D SHE GET THIS INFORMATION BEFORE BUSH?
"Hussein has chosen to spend his money on building WMDS.."Albright 1999
"Saddam to refine delivery systems, that will threaten the US..."Graham 2001
"Saddam has ignored the mandate of the UN and is building WMDs and the means to deliver.." Levin 2002
"Iraq's search for WMDs ...will continue as long as Saddam's in power"..Gore 2002
"Saddam retains stockpiles of WMDS.."Byrd 2002
"..give President authority to use force..to disarm Saddam because an arsenal of WMDs..threat our security"..Kerry 2002
"..Unmistakable evidence Saddam developing nuclear weapons next 5 years.."Rockefeller 2002
"Violated over 11 years every UN resolution demanding disarming WMDs.."Waxman 2002
"He's given aid,comfort & sanctuary to al Qaeda members..and keep developing WMDs"..Hillary 2002
"Compelling evidence Saddam has WMDs production storage capacity.." Graham 2002
"Without a question, we need to disarm Saddam. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime .... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction .... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real ...."Kerry , Jan. 23. 2003.

Michael Steele let the cat out of the bag that the GOP is plagued with bigots.

Can't have that getting out. It's a secret. Nobody woulda figured out there are tons of people in the GOP who hate minorities if Steele hadn't opened his yap. They could have gotten away with bashing blacks and gays and Muslims and Mexicans forever if he hadn't spoken out.


Oh, wait...


But what does Steele know, huh? Everybody knows the GOP loved black people...60 years ago...

And Lincoln. There's always Lincoln.

They have always loved gays, too. And Muslims. And Mexicans. Always. There's plenty of topics and posts by right wingers on this forum which prove that!

Oh, wait...

omg, you are on a hate roll
you all should examine your own party before you cast stones

But..but...but, he has a black friend in the WH.....

 

[nodoginnafight]

Well ... what is the most obvious thing the two men have in common?

Maybe there's a clue.

See what happens? The OP asked for MSMB Republicans to answer so when they don't get the answers they want g5000, and others, are more then happy to step up and fill the board with their rants. It is easy for them to do since they do in fact belong to the party of slavery.

Damn, I missed it again, I was going to say they were both men. Damn I just can't think like a racist, but thanks (sic) for the education.

Damn maybe I got you innuendo wrong, let me guess, you are implying that they both pee standing up??? Right? They both wear glasses, I think????? They are both heterosexual????? Boy they have a lot of things in common.

You are right, I am bad. I jumped to a conclusion about what was being implied and tried to rectify it in another post. That is why I said it is hard for me to think like a racist.

Me? me? Me?
Can I answer?


RINO

 

[Pennywise]

Neither one of those men is a conservative. Not even close.

 

[Katzndogz]

There is no beef with either Steele or Powell. Democrats made it up. They hate the idea of black republicans and right now are desperate to change the subject from obama's political implosion.

For one, Colin Powell belongs in the Democratic Party where he belongs. And who is Micheal Steele?

You don't know who Michael Steele is?

I don't know about Steele, but Powell no longer votes Republican and that is enough reason for Republicans to shun him.

Apparently not
That's the conclusion you jumped to, no?
