Powell says hes still a Republican?

[Minarchy4Sale]

Despite the fact that I hate to ever agree with Rush Limbaugh, I have two words for you, Colin. Fuck. off.

You are not a Republican. You arent a Paul Republican, you arent a Goldwater Republican, you arent a Reagan Republican, you arent even a Bush I or Bush II republican...

Shit, you arent even a fucking McCain republican! You voted for O-Stalin!

Shitheels like you who spend their entire career sucking the ballsack of authoritaaay and big government largess, are the worst of all. You claim small government ideals, but at EVERY FUCKING OPPORTUNITY, you act like a Goddamned Socialist! You are not only a product of the warfare state, but also of the welfare state!

Is there EVER been a government program you havent been behind?

Im serious, with 'Republicans' like you, who the fuck needs communists?!

Please please please. Go away. We dont need you.

[nobody's_hero]

The interventionist who suggested we stop just short of completing the mission during the Gulf War, Colin can't make up his mind what he is.

[qh4dotcom]

I agree

Link to where he recently said he's still a Republican please?

[Dr.3D]

I seriously doubt Colin knows what a Republican is. He probably thinks it is some kind of a political position rather than an ideology.

The same Colin Powell who went against Bush/Cheney (as well as majority opinion of the general public at the time) and opposed intervening in the Iraqi Civil War, and the same Colin Powell who strongly opposed Bush's military tribunals?

He ain't perfect, but I like him.... More than Glenn Beck, anyway.

Im not suprised you like him Kludge. After all he is a globalist, and an interventionist, he just didn't like the idea of 'going it alone'.

People often make the right choices for the wrong reasons. I assure you, that explains why Colin Powell has EVER made the right policy decision. It is merely accidental that he made a few choices we would agree with. He certainly wasn't looking out for the American Republic...

[Minarchy4Sale]

I'm not sure many of us know what a Republican is http://www.rpk.org/Roots/7033bcdb-d677-49e9-a6f9-bafc2e0523c6/Documents/2008Platform.pdf


Those fools just need to be re-educated.

[Golding]

He's still registered Republican. That's about it.

The sad thing is that those getting the attention for criticizing Powell as not Republican aren't very Republican themselves. There's widespread obliviousness going on.

Agreed. However much of a RINO and phony Powell is, a lot of his G.O.P. critics have no right to throw stones in glass houses. I'm viewing the whole thing from the sidelines.

[KenInMontiMN]

Powell says he's still a CFR stooge? Even after they hung him out to dry with a sackfull of pure bs at the UN? Some are leaders. Some are all about following orders.

The Republican Party has no ideology. It is an engine to facilitate governance, which means party discipline and making an apparatus to improve electability for its members. That is the function of parties.

There is a difference between a RINO who claims to be for less government, and slowly expands it with a few votes, and someone like Powell who doesn't think McCain was progressive enough and says Americans still want more and more government.

[Freedom 4 all]

you arent even a Bush I or Bush II republican...

Shit, you arent even a fucking McCain republican! .

Would that br a good thing? As far as I'm concerned whatever the hell Colin Powell is it's still better than that.

You seem angry.

[Minarchy4Sale]

You seem angry.

Not in general. Just at shithead collectivists who have stolen my party. They have properly earned my wrath.

[Objectivist]

Yeah and Arnold Schwarzenegger is a Republican too!:rolleyes:

That is where you are wrong. Bush I and II are bad. Powell is worse.

Why you ask?

Because despite the Bushes' warmongering, spending us into a hole, horrible foreign policy, and being in the hip pocket of elites, at least they are supportive of an AMERICAN empire. They are dumbass elitists who I wish would go away forever, but at least their vision is one that puts America (and her allies) on the top of the heap.

Powell, on the other hand, has proven himself to be a 'citizen of the world', who is more interested in doing what the UN wants us to do than what American citizens wants its government to do. Seriously, he has turned into the Barbara Streisand of the Republican Party. He has nothing useful to contribute, and he is in the wrong damned party.

The bubbas who listen to Hannity, Limbaugh, OReilly, and Levin have the right instincts, but they have been badly misinformed. We can fix that. Powell has shown that he is an inherently collectivist thinkers and you just cant do anything with people who think that way.

Its amazing to me that the military turns out any maverick generals at all... Even Tommy Franks is towing the big government line these days...

Bring back Patton.

[Minarchy4Sale]

Yeah and Arnold Schwarzenegger is a Republican too!:rolleyes:

Im ashamed to say that I worked to get Ahnold elected. I put signs up, I got petitions signed, I busted my ass.

Then he betrayed us.

Well there is honor in admitting as much, now fall on your sword.:D

Guess its a good thing Im not samurai.

Considering Ahnold replaced Davis, I mostly wasted my own time rather than doing any real damage.

When Ahnold signed the microstamping bill, that was the last straw for me. I am very happy as an ex-californian.

When he started banning single shot rifles I was pissed. WHo didn't know he was a Kennedy sock puppet?
