    Looks to me he put the color of his skin ahead of his loyalty to his fellow soldier.

      No I don't think so. He put his country ahead of his loyalty to a fellow soldier. That,s called understanding the issues and where each candidate stands on them.

        Looks to me like you put the color of skin above all else.

          I'm not surprised that another black person has jumped on the racisim bandwagon and voted on race rather than what is good for America.
          Jesse Jackson had the best Idea yet.
          He wants to cut his dingleberries off.

            AUTO.... So you are voting for McCain because he is white, is that what you are saying?

              Is Pat Buchanan supporting McCain because he is Irish?

              Here's the line of reasoning:

              If a black man supports a black man, it's ONLY because they are the same race.

              If a white man supports a black man, it's ONLY because of some sort of 'racial guilt' or not wanting to be perceived as racist.

              If a white man supports a white man, or a black man supports a white man, he's made a reasoned choice and is doing what is 'good for America'.

              Therefore, only white candidates are supportable as reasoned choices. To take auto's own language: a black candidate can never be 'good for America'.

              And THAT, my friend, IS racism.

              Do you have to practice your stupidity to be this efficient at it? Or does it just come natural?

                Look to me that he put his senses above that of his own political party.

                  Fellow soldiers come from all political stripes... it would be a sad situation, on the battlefield, if you could not rely on those of your fellow soldiers that disagreed with your political preferences.

                    More so than that he is also a negro, Collin Powell is actually a fellow Kenyan, and associates with terrorists

                      You give ample evidence that some in your party is racist and unintelligent. Terrorists indeed.

                        To call a man of this standard a racist is just pointing out how simple you are. You cannot take away the fact that this man served his country as well as any other before him. Fighting in over 4 wars, and being wounded several time in the name of his country.

                        To say that a man like this is all about race, and not country is moronic and shows your true agenda. Your agenda is about race not his...to think that you are always correct is the behavior of a crazy person. The right of this nation even looking down the barrel of another depression thinks that the way they have been going is the correct way, how freaking crazy is that?

                        Powell represent something that is not too common on the right (thought), he doesn't feel that his side has the answer, and as a good AMERICAN, he did the prudent thing, he went for the correct thing, what is best for his country over his party and ideology, to berate and belittle this mans decision as being simple as race, is to show your willingness to eat your young. It's a stupid notion put forth by stupid people!

                        As for the socialism argument, the right just nationalized the banking industry and push through a 700 billion social package on the American people, this of course doesn't bother the right because it's for big business, but god forbade you should do something for the American people the small man which most of these guys are anyway, they scream bloody murder you are hurting me.

                        No what is hurting us is this trickle down economics, I want back the days when companies offered $50,000 just to join their organization, I want that economy back, the one your rich friends moved out of this country as soon as the republicans took office.

                        Joe the plumbers of this nation are soo thick that they refuse to see that the reason why they are struggling it because of the Republican agenda, tell me why you are all against bush now? Because he did a terrible job with our nation, Now tell me why you are willing to do the same thing again and expecting a different result? Because you are freaking in need of mental help.

                          The Joe the Plumbers of this country are the backbone of this country so you will find out on election that your racist socialism agenda won't fly.
                          If you like Obama's agenda so much then move to Russia.

                            Obama lives in America why would i move to Russia he is not there! If you are thick you are thick. We are not in this economic mess because of Obama we didn't have a 700 billion bailout because of Obama, we came to all this because of your party talk about socialism...look please pull your head out of that deep dark place you stuck it in and do some free thinking if you can.

                            Your argument is that of a 4th grader, it's childish!

                              Liberalism is a mental condition.

                                Says the crazy person!

                                Lets' take a look at the word Liberalism:
                                1. the quality or state of being liberal, as in behavior or attitude.

                                2. a political or social philosophy advocating the freedom of the individual, parliamentary systems of government, nonviolent modification of political, social, or economic institutions to assure unrestricted development in all spheres of human endeavor, and governmental guarantees of individual rights and civil liberties.

                                3. (sometimes initial capital letter) the principles and practices of a liberal party in politics.

                                4. a movement in modern Protestantism that emphasizes freedom from tradition and authority, the adjustment of religious beliefs to scientific conceptions, and the development of spiritual capacities.

                                If you are calling me these things then i am all for that, these kinds of things/names i am fine with being called!

                                  Looks to me he put the color of his skin ahead of his loyalty to his fellow soldier.

                                  If you are a McCain supporter, you need to play the racist card or the Islamic threat to win any election and stoking fear will also helps politicians up to certain extent.
