John McCain does not need Colin Powell's support
When you have this guy in your corner, who cares whether you have Colin Powell?

Some blog has a question up about how we should react to Powell's announcement.
If I decide to answer ir (and it doesn't seem worth my time) the answer will be "About the way I react to a pile of dog poop on the sidewalk -- glad I didn't step in it but check to be sure and walk on down the road."

I love this guy. If there were a 4th debate, I'd suggest to McCain that he feign a migraine and send him, instead.

That one was great, too.
This fellow seems to have a gift for Youtube guerilla politics. Good for him.
Unfortunately, you need honesty to get his point. Like the question in the debates about who is responsible for the credit crisis ... ummm, how about the assholes who borrowed 3X more than they could ever repay? how about the discipline-free asshole who ran up the credit cards?
To get this guy's point, you have to own your own responsibility for making kids you can't afford to raise, screwing up for a lifetime in bad jobs or not paying attention in school, or staying high and pickled as your daily mode of living.
Show me enough examples of where black run corporations and cities are doing well, are reasonably free of corruption and otherwise properly managed, and I'll not see an Obama administration as the end of America as we know it. I see Jimmy Carter, and if history repeats itself, we're in for a ride.
I love the republican base. They fool you sometimes into thinking they are really conservatives but then their true racist colors shine through reliably in the end, as in the comment above.

Because the entire lot of Republicans can be properly represented by an anonymous comment on the Internet. Why don't we go trolling through the archives of Firedoglake and Kos to talk about the Democrat base, hmm?
No no, you're not allowed to represent yourself anymore, you see. New rules. You are represented by other people who share a broad label with you. Moreover, others get to pick which examples by which to judge you.
It's "Democratic," not "Democrat."
See, I would believe you, but Republican voters have this irritating habit of professing a sensible conservative philosophy and then voting for someone like W. But when you try and call them on it, they say "but he isn't really a conservative." Well, who among politicians is this mythical beast? It sure isn't McCain. But if he's elected and screws up, then it will be because he didn't follow real conservative views. How convenient - it insures you'll never be responsible for the mistake you made in selecting the disastrous Bush presidency.
So no, I don't feel bad lumping you in with some other nuts, because you support the same people that have given us these last 8 years, regardless of what you personally profess to believe.
