I always liked Colin Powell.
I think he has far more honor and integrity than the rest
I agree. Unfortunately he has no political aspirations. Another sign of his intelligence.
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."

In no particular order... Powell, Paul, Gringrich.. Further down would be Thompson and Hunter.

Hey folks.......facts are facts!!
This has to make you think a little bit, if not, then keep your blinders on!
 
George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years.  The first six the economy was fine.
A little over one year ago:
            1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
            2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
            3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
            4) the DOW JONES hit a record high--14,000 +
            5) American's were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacations o'seas, living large!...

 

But American's wanted 'CHANGE'!   So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress & yep--we got 'CHANGE' all right. In the PAST YEAR:
            1) Consumer confidence has plummeted ;
            2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!;
            3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
            4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by 12 Trillion dollars & prices are still dropping!!!!
            5) At least 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
            6) as I write, THE DOW is probing another  low~~11,100--
            $2.5TRILLIONDOLLARS  HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR  STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!


                 
YEP , IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE!...AND WE SURE AS HELL GOT IT!!!....NOW  OBAMA, the DEM'S CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT--AND THE  POLLS SAY HE'S GONNA BE 'THE MAN'--CLAIMS HE'S GONNA REALLY GIVE US CHANGE!!....JUST HOW MUCH MORE 'CHANGE' DO YA THINK YOU CAN STAND???!!!!????
 

If it can't get there on it's own, leave it at home!!
