| Colin Powell had the courage to make the right decision even though it was on the other ticket.

DS, where did he say anything like what you're claiming he said. That clip says nothing like that. Just making stuff up tonight? So were you outraged when you found out that the NSA was ordered to spy on Americans? Obama didn't order that, wanna guess who did?

oh yeah.........ObamaCon wants the citizen corp to spy on families and report anything they think is objectionable. Kids informing on parents, parents informing on kids, more of his blasphemous Alpha/Omega crops. Hitler would be proud of this nuts vision for a state society

So because McCain has no solutions to any problems and has led a very nasty and divisive campaign, Colin Powell should just be a good little Republican and support someone he doesn't believe in? Where is the outrage when McCain didn't even bother to show up to vote on the GI Bill?

That letter to Powell is what a lot of people who have children overseas are thinking. My nephew who had a great career in the Navy, and believes in America just informed us today that he will not be reenlisting if ObamaNation gets the illegal vote. Him, nor any of his friends on the ship trust Obama and want out before he talks people into believing his lies and becomes President

From an Army Mom 'How Dare You Colin Powell?' [size=
The Miami Herald]
Monday, 10.20.08
Obama: Powell will have a role in administration
Colin Powell will have a role as a top presidential advisor in an Obama administration, the Democratic White House hopeful said Monday.
Words from an Army mom:[size=
]How dare you Colin Powell?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please help me find a way to get this in front of Colin Powell. My family deserves that much. If I could afford it I would run a newspaper ad. I know he won't change but I need to know that he has to live with this. I am sorry that it is so long but I am just so angry.
General Powell,
You told us that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, and that 'Iraq harbors a deadly terrorist network'. We doubted George Bush, but we believed YOU. And my son went to Iraq to serve his country, and protect democracy. There were no WMD's, but you assured us that Saddam 'had the intent and the capability' of making them. Of the missing terrorists, you assured us that you 'had seen some links and connections between Iraq and terror groups over time.' And my son died believing in your words, and the value of his own service.
In 2006, when they proposed a surge, you re-emerged and told us that a surge would not work. You said that we were losing in Iraq, and our army was worn out. I thought my heart would break. It was like losing my son all over again, because I felt like his death had been for nothing. Because we still believed you. You told us we could believe in you.
We started to hear that the surge was working - but you kept saying that it was not, and it never would. So we doubted the other reports, and worried that we were being lied to. (Even though we could not actually remember a time when you were right.) Because we still believed you.
Then came the talk of a Presedential campaign. You did an interview, where you were described as a 'political animal'. Your wife announced that 'George Bush used you, because people would believe you' - as if that absolves you of responsibility. But it doesn't. It means that you betrayed the trust we gave you - that my son gave you. I want to cry when I think that your 'mistakes' may have just been politics.
Now you have re-appeared again, to endorse Barack Obama. The Obama who told us that entering Iraq was a mistake, and our son's death was for nothing. The Obama who wanted to cut off funding from our troops. The Obama who agreed with you that a surge would not work. The Obama who wants to spread the wealth, like the Socialist leaders we have struggled against around the world.
At first I wondered why you would even think we would believe you again. But I found myself wondering, 'Why would you do such a thing? Why would you endorse a man that is so opposite of everything my son fought and died for?' I absolutely reject your claim that you just decided in the last few weeks to endorse him. (When the financial crisis and 'vitriol' really began.) You might sell that story to some people, but not to a military family. You are known as a precise person who leaves nothing to accident. And the General knows to hold his reserves, and commit them at the moment they will have the greatest impact. The timing of your announcement was calculated to help you achieve an objective - as always.
Your condemnation of John McCain for questioning Obama's relationship with Ayers is shameful. You know better than most Americans what Ayers represents. His bombings in the 60's are not the issue. It is his continued work as a Socialist revolutionary. His trips to Venezuela to flirt with and encourage the revolutionaries in Central America. His crusade to indoctrinate teachers and students behind the closed doors of our schools. If there is even a possibility that Barack Obama does have ties to this man we have a right and an obligation, to ask questions. And it frightens me that people are being attacked for asking questions in our free society.
Need I remind you that you justified the invasion of a country on less evidence of terrorism ties! You killed a man because he 'had the intent' to build weapons of mass destruction - as if you are God himself, who can read peoples' thoughts. We learned most of our anti-terror rhetoric under your watch.
The questions about Ayers were originally asked during the primaries, by Democrats. When Obama was finally forced to answer, he told us things that we knew to be untrue. You can't blame John McCain for that, or for giving voice to our lingering questions. 'We The People' demanded that he ask them. And you, sir, have no right to condemn him for doing his duty to the country. You should be doing the same.
You say the Republican Party has grown 'too extreme'? You are obviously marketing to the 18-year olds who don't remember who you used to be. You were a prostitute for an ultra right-wing conservative, and now you have become a prostitute for an ultra left-wing liberal. Barack Obama is the single most liberal member of our Senate, which makes him more extreme than Nancy Pelosi and just right of Hugo Chavez. You don't give a d**n about ideology.
Your endorsement speech was carefully crafted for the maximum effect, with its not-so-subtle racial undertones. Did you think we were too stupid to notice? Barack Obama can cross boundaries (because he is 'of color', and John McCain is not.) Barack Obama will value the life of a Muslim soldier (because he is 'of color', and John McCain is not.) You don't like the vitriol coming from the Republican side (because it is racially motivated). Those sentiments are unworthy of John McCain, of the uniform you wear, and of our country.
There is a special corner of hell reserved for you, sir. Give our regards to Saddam Hussein.
