Colin Powell vs. Barack Obama

[Wanker]

Now that would make for an interesting Presidential race.

Colin Powell, not your typical Republican right-wing reactionary.

Barack Obama, not your typical whiney Democrac.

If these two ever ran against each other, I would, for the first time ever, have a difficult time making up my mind.

Were you impressed of Obama sin Laden'speech about how great his parents were and how he's now capitalizing his political career off of their hard work?

C'mon Rip, that's kinda low, isn't it? I mean, don't most parents want their kids to have/ do better than they did? I think it's just natural for successful people to give credit to those whose sacrifices have enabled them to achieve.

In other words, my question would have been, "What have YOU done?"

revive celebrity death match and decide who the winner would be.

Rip gets the prize.

The first Repub to identify Obama with Osama.

I'll bet it took a while to come up with that one.

Stolen from Funk in another post.

I'm with Wotan's assessment, he reminded me too much of "Legal Action Jackson" (Jesse Jackson)

Uh, Rip?  Obama earned a law degree from Harvard and was a successful attorney as well as an Illinois state senator.

I'd say he's done plenty of his own accord.  You're headed down a dead end with this one.

And Jesse Jackson earns a living threatening company's with lawsuits.  Whats your point?

I didn't care for his speech. Alot of rhetoric. No dead end, just my opinion. I'm entitled to that, no?

My point is that you are wrong when you say "he's now capitalizing his political career off of their hard work."  He might be disingenuous when he credits them, but it's obvious he didn't just ride their coattails into political office.

But of course, even if it's wrong as usual.

How can I trust your opinions when you can't even place me properly on an ideological continuum?

Ah, the old "wolf in sheeps clothing" eh?

What do Obama and Powell say about:

-gun control
-late-term abortion
-taxes
-Social Security reform
-Patriot Act
-tort reform

Probably nothing.

Anybody can stand up and give a speech designed to make everyone feel warm and fuzzy.  To become a leader you have to address real issues.
