I never claimed that the typical asian or black was racist while Obama did.
Marion, I would have given anything for Colin Powell to have ran for President and I would love to see Condi Rice on McCain’s ticket.”
I would give anything to see Powell on either ticket instead of these two clowns. That man had enough integrity to resign from a ship of fools and stand up for what he believed in. And mind you, he took strong, risky positions when he actually could be held accountable. How easy could it have possibly been to go toe-to-toe against crazy-a** Rumsefeld and Cheney every friggin’ day in a vain attempt to steer them from war??
He took a stand when he actually had something to lose. Obama takes a stand against the war as a nobody junior senator in the IL legislature — with NO accountability whatosever — and he expects heaps of praise for his decision. Big deal. You want to impress me, senator Obama? How about voting AGAINST the black pit of Iraq war spending now that you actually have some accountability? How about NOT rubber-stamping the never-ending expansions to the Patriot Act? How about voting to protect civil liberties rather than throw them under the bus with more atrocious FISA legislation? How about NOT going back on your word and actually supporting campaign finance reform? Whenever this joker has the chance to actually be acountable, he ducks or folds like a lawn chair.
I’m a life-long Democrat, but I would easily cast my vote for Powell any day. If only someone with his experience and guts had the distinction of possibly being the first black president. Instead, we are left with Mr. Rogers packaged in the persona of a slick Hollywood agent.
