Colin Powell for President

[Mini D]

Well animal, I want your respect.. No... I demand it... just like I demand respect from any of my other dirty little potatos.  You will be mine ricky.  Some day... you will be mine.

As far as Powell goes... I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.  He's the most diplomatic person I've seen in the white house for 15 years.  I do think he's too smart to run, however.

Animal, we don't give a shiit about your respect.

I like to be in America, Okay by me in America.

Everything free in America, For a small fee in America.

I like the city of San Juan, I know a boat you can get on.

Hundreds of flowers in full bloom, Hundreds of people in each room!

Automoblie in America, Chromium steel in America.

Wire spoke wheel in America, Very big deal in America.

I'll drive a buick thru San Juan, If there's a road you can drive on.

I'll give my cousins a free ride, How you fit all of them inside?

Immigrant goes to America, Many hellos in America.

Nobody knows in America, Puerto Rico's in America.

When I will go back to San Juan, When you will shut up and get gone.

I'll give them new washing machine, what have they got there to keep clean?

I like the shores of America, Comfort is yours in America.

Knobs on the doors in America, Wall to wall floors in America.

I'll bring a T.V. to San Juan, If there's a current to turn on.

Everyone there will give big cheer, Everyone there will have moved here.

I see Canada has decriminalized marijuana in spite of GWB's warning.

Actually, up about a week or two before the ware actually started a large majority of Americans wanted to have UNSC approval before the US invaded Iraq.

Many Americans would have preferred to have the UNSC's approval.  Most  American's also realize that we aren't going allow the UNSC dictate what we feel is in our best interest.  Many Americans would give more credence to the UNSC if it didn't have permanent members that had no business being there.  France, for example.

I'd vote for Powell, after Bush's second term.

personaly i wouldnt vote for him. when i was in the army i heard about him 3rd hand, which is i knew sombody who know somebody who worked with him and that somebody was the sgt. major of the army at the time. and the story i got was he was the biggest salamander in the army at the time. but thats just what i heard. i dont pay much attention to him or his public image. besides i dont think hes crooked enough for elected office.

You mean there are nice people in the army?

gossip is always reliable, especially when its NCOs talking about COs.

When voters elect someone based on how nice he is, they get Bill Clinton.

[Saintaw]

He would get my foreign vote as well. I like him !

One percent huh?

[bigsky]

yes there was.i dont know about know, i havent been there in a while.

[SaburoS]

I would vote for Powell as well.
LOL amazing that some "conservatives" and "liberals" on this BBS agree on something
Is he perfect? No, no one is. After he is freed from the present administration, it would be interesting to see his outlook on the issues.

LOL!!!

Who was that kid in the MA who couldnt add? And the one here who said america deserved 7/11? You are about to join their ranks.

i would vote for powell. He seems fairly moderate, and thats what we need for a president. someone that dosnt lean either way.

[Saurdaukar]

I would also vote for Powell, if for no other reason than because it would change the party system drasticly - a black man running on the Republican ticket indeed... he MUST be an UNCLE TOM!

What will the Dem's do without minority support?  You can only get so far capitalizing on the mistakes of others.

I read somewhere that one of the reasons he wouldn't run for President was because his wife was afraid he'd be assassinated. Don't think for one second that because the KKK has basically become a non-entity these days that there aren't people out there who would loathe a black President so much that they would try to kill him. Personally, I think his wife is right, and someone would take a crack at killing him.

As far as faulting him for not running for President because of the wishes of his family, I disagree. In an ironic way, I think that's one of the qualities that would make him a great President.
