"I will vote for anyone but the black guy" -- conservatives motto.

large number of cons would have voted for Powell, an honorable, standup man with integrity and honest love for this great nation. i'd definitely vote for powell over either of these two clowns.

Right, I'm sure it is because he is the black guy . . .

If race were actually a card to play in a game - I'm sure you would somehow be a dealer.

BTW - my tongue-in-cheek meter is working fine, I still decided to answer you. Deal with it. :*)

linkie.

the only thing that says is a black man is voting for a black man.

however, one reason i believe powell would have won is he has moderate views and would have gotten many of the swing votes. that does not mean obama has those same views.

 

[zyxt9]

oh...and saying romney flip-flops is accurate, but it is also something 99.9999% of politicians do, including obama. they all pander to the audience directly in front of them while forgetting what they said previously to others. that's what politicians do most...LIE! which is why no matter what they say on the trail, their actions in office never match up to their "promises" or goals and conveniently blame the other party for why they could not achieve what they campaigned on, "but elect me again and NEXT time I will absolutely get it right". HA! never going to happen cuz they have neither the power nor the balls to do it.

1,000,000 % correct.

so you think Powell is "an honorable, standup man with integrity and honest love for this great nation," yet he'd endorse a guy only because he's black?

:ugh:

Didnt work so well for John McCain...too many conservatives stayed at home Nov 2008

Yeah pretty much. You have a black guy running for President, you're going to get black guys voting for him whether they think he'd do a good job or not.

That's the same as saying a white guy will vote for a white guy running for President too.

Which is also bullshit.

Why didn't Condoleezza Rice endorse Obama then? Or Herman Cain?

You're better then that Mitch.

I didn't say they all do, jeez. But when Obama ran the first time, there were lots of blacks who said publicly they voted for Obama just because he was black. I'm not lying here. Not granted I'm sure there were those prejudice against the blacks who didn't vote for him for the same reasons.

I realize some did, and I know you weren't saying "all" blacks.

But it sounded like you were validating that guys comment that Powell, a well respected and intelligent person, was voting on the basis of race only.

zyxt9 throws out the name Powell as a great guy, then when he realizes he endorsed Obama 2x he jumps ship and says "well a black man is voting for a black man", I don't see how anyone with with the correct number of chromosomes would think that about a guy like Powell. Now the average less informed guy on the street, he might vote for a brother over a cracker, but let's not give this guys half-baked-off-his-ass theory any credit.

You probably know by now. I barely glance at a post before I reply. My time is precious ;-). But it's not all uninformed guys. Back in '08 I heard on the News that some did vote for Obama for that very reason. I assume they were at least a little informed since they were on the news.
