3. Agreed but it Powell endorses it'll just be a few positive headlines for Obama so it don't hurt
one BIT. Definintely not necessary and won't put Obama over the top but would be just another thing to aggravate McTroll.

7. The military community is really pissed at him.

And Obama doesn't need those votes. And most conservatives would think he's doing just because they're both black. There's only so far you should sell your soul.

14. Mookie spent 8 years in political polling. Our guy IS going to win.

Trust Mook. Style counts. You lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas. Powell is an unprincipled 'ho.

16. Wait just one fucking minute!
MookieWilson with a Red Sox insignia. What's wrong with this picture?? Just kidding, Mook. I'm with ya. We'll win. It's the hidden racism that scares the shit out of me. Our stupidity astounds me. To no end.

18. '86 was a cruel joke. Mets and Sox my two faves...
No, you can't outguess stupidity. But in recent weeks McCain and Bush are doing all they can to ensure he wins. Keep the faith bay-bee!

For those buying the He-pals-around-with-Terrorists-Koolaid that Piglin offers. I want to win. I ain't too proud on this. Powell could turn those who vote based on National Security no matter what...and would be helpful with the Troup votes. seriously.

15. If he had any guts, he'd commit seppuku and spill them out on the ground.
Seeing as that's too much for most peoples' delicate sensibilities, I guess we'll just have to settle for him surrendering to a war crimes tribunal.

17. If Colin Powell had any guts
he'd turn into John Dean and sing, sing, sing. But going back to My Lai, Colin Powell has showen he has no guts.

29. But continues to deny his guilt
as he tries to portray himself as a unwitting pawn in this mess.

21. I think Powell knew precisely what he was doing,
and would probably do it again if in similar circumstances.

24. So, the opinion is... the gutless wonder we saw at My Lai
is still a gutless wonder. Last chance, Colen. Just trying, folks.

I'll take Zell Miller's endorsement, right now. Fuck honorably. We lost that with Atwater. There is no honor in politics. Not one fuckin ounce.

30. We'll never know. Though I think he'll endorse if it's needed at the end
in a close race, it is going to be so lopsided that he'll never endorse.

31. Powell should burn in hell for his performance before the UN, but his endorsement now would resonate
Edited on Mon Oct-06-08 09:36 PM by AtomicKitten
as a swift kick to the wingnuts' collective groin.

32. Willie Brown seems to think it is coming. Supposedly GW pled with
Powell to not do this prior to the convention--he said that it would be a total embarrassment. Well now what's a bigger embarassment a Powelll endorsement or having that skank and the death vessel running around screaming about Obama's patriotism. Cheney must be 6,000 feet beneath the dirt planning to blow up Arizona.

34. No, folks that believe the Ayers stuff would say Powell is doing it because Obama is black.
Don't give them credit for reasoning.
