all things considered...that we've heard very little about him is probably a good thing.

i think that he's doing just fine here in florida.

no scandals to speak of...no turmoil.  all is well in tallahassee.

 :aok

They just haven't caught him in the local parks restrooms.. Rest assured I'm sure it's gonna happen sooner than later. There is a lot of talk about him being a closet case homosexual.

I want Powell to run with Condi as vice-president.

Tell me, just tell me that wouldn't win over any other candidates.
That screams Bush administration... I am telling you that wouldn't win

powell yes.

condi no.

powell is the anti bush administration.

a brilliant commander and he was a good soldier who ultimately did what he was told.

powell for president.

powell.

he would kick the living crud out of obama.

any day of the week.


hands down.



What is intriguing is, if Powell ran, race wouldn't be a factor. More intriguing  is why? Most intriguing is the answer. Powell is not a smart black man. He's a smart man and a undeniable patriot. Obama is the Oprah Black President. What he stands for or will do is secondary.

do you think you powell proponents might be just thinking that it takes a black man to beat obama?  I would vote for powell but I would also vote for anyone over obama and not because he is black but because he is poison.

Quick!  Let's ignore a candidate's stances and vote for him because he seems like an upright sort of fella!




I, for one, will laugh in the face of any republican that votes for Powell.  I will laugh in their face any and every time they complain.

I don't think the fact that Powell is black would matter to anyone but devout racists. How many people ever saw him as  "thats Powell, our *black* secretary of state"? That a huge difference from Oprah's Black Presidential nominee.

The media has always been racist. Its not even 50 years ago where newspapers like The New York Times would describe crime suspects as a "crazed negro." The media is still overtly racist. The only thing that has changed is their racial stereotypes. Its no longer the "crazed negro" but the redneck ignorant cracker. How is that any better?

IMHO I don't think he would accept it!

Think he is smart but also he probably KNOWS some things about the D.C. crowd that we don't.

AND because he KNOWS things he may have decided he wants NOTHING to do with what he sees?
It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.

Is there one you would choose that isn't listed?


Gingrich would be a fantastic president.......and would slice obama to ribbons in any debate.
