Very interesting. Of course it will be lost on any of the usual suspects
He didn't save any of his emails.

I could be persuaded to vote for him, whether he ran as a Republican or Democrat.

Leave it to you to take a story about civil rights, how far we've come, etc., and instead make it about bush. Nobody is stoking any fires. Those fires burn quite well fueled only by ignorance. Just FYI, he was in the photo on the front page of my newspaper. Originally Posted by UnderConstruction

So, if Colin Powell got away with it, we must let Hillary get away with it, too. Regardless of intervening laws and protocols.

Powell is political toast.

He lost my respect along time ago.

If Lama is agin' him, the General's got my vote!

Now if we can just persuade him to run!

As for the BT/I'va ticket, we've decided to wait until 2020!
I agree with 99 % of what General said in this particular interview.The one thing I disagree with him on is his statement that he always voted for the most qualified candidate.

How can he say that with a straight face, since he has admitted to voting for one of the least qualified men to ever hold the Office, President Obama.

Just admit you voted for him because he is Black and quit with the stupid charade.

Apparently you missed the part where Powell said that young black men shouldn't argue with or assault police officers, you "#Grubered" Odumbo Minion.

Does that make his standards wrong and yours right?

Not necessarily!

Just because General Powell was so gullible as to fall for this act does not change things.
