Colin Powell: Iran Sanction Increase Won’t Stop Nuclear Program
Friday, March 19th, 2010
Former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said new sanctions on Iran to persuade it to stop enriching uranium won’t work because the Islamic republic is “determined to have a nuclear program.” “I don’t see a set of sanctions coming along that would be so detrimental to the Iranians that they are going to stop that program,” Powell said in an interview with Bloomberg special contributor Judy Woodruff. “So ultimately, the solution has to be a negotiated one.” More on Colin Powell

Powell Whacks Limbaugh And Republicans For Calling Sotomayor Racist
Sunday, July 5th, 2009
Colin Powell, who hails from the same Bronx neighborhood as Sonia Sotomayor, said on Sunday that the Supreme Court nominee was of a “liberal bent of mind,” but not so much that it would be “disqualifying” to her confirmation prospects. In his appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” the former Secretary of State saved his sharpest jabs for the Republicans who have painted Sotomayor as a racist

Palin Skipping Obama Dinner In McCain’s Honor
Thursday, January 15th, 2009
On the night before Barack Obama is sworn in as the nation’s 44th President, his inaugural committee will host a series of dinners honoring public servants it deems champions of bipartisanship. To be feted are Vice President-elect Joe Biden, Colin Powell, and John McCain, whom Obama vanquished last November. At the McCain dinner, the GOP senator, who managed to suppress his bipartisan tendencies during the hard-fought 2008 campaign, will be introduced by one of his closest Senate confidants: Senator Lindsey Graham. But McCain’s No. 1 booster during the last year will not be among those hailing McCain. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, his controversial running-mate, will not attend the dinner, Bill McAllister, a Palin spokesman tells Mother Jones.

The Tina Fey Effect — Sarah Palin’s priorities are seriously out of WHACK…
Monday, October 20th, 2008
O.K., let’s cut to the chase, Sarah Palin and John McCain are wandering in the desert without very much water and no plan on how to survive let alone get out and thrive. THEY’RE LOST. Now, let’s step back from the very funny episode of SNL, Saturday Night Live where Sarah Palin blessed the nation with an appearance. I’m so sick of this joke of a Vice Presidential candidate, she can appear on SNL but she avoids “Meet the Press” at all costs. AMERICA, THIS IS A PROBLEM and not just because Sarah Palin isn’t funny, that’s the least of our collective problems. It just brings the point home all the more that John McCain made a purely political call when he choose Sarah Palin as his V.P. Yeah, yeah she energizes the base of the GOP.
But, let’s face facts she’s been a Governor for less than 24 months. As Ret. Gen. Colin Powell states in his endorsement of Barack Obama that Sarah Palin is simply not ready to be President and that is the PRIMARY function of the Office of Vice President of the United States of America. She’s one heartbeat away from the Oval Office as a 72 year old, Republican, Cancer patient’s V.P. candidate. Caribou Barbie needs to ride her moose back to Alaska and her campaign to destroy Alaska with more oil drilling which will solve no problems and only create now ones and makes her Republican pals even more money.
John McCain made a insulting choice in Sarah Palin as it was plain and simple a political move to win the election. His choice is not even remotely based upon what’s best for America. John McCain is cut of the EXACT same cloth as George W. Bush. When a Senator votes ninety percent of the time in favor your on the same page. By some fictional standard John McCain maybe considered a maverick but by no definition that I can find does he or Sarah Palin meet the definition. Which brings me back to Joe Biden’s wonderful analogy of
“If It Walks Like a Duck” video clip below.
When was the last time you heard anything concrete from John McCain and/or Sarah Palin during all of their copious stump speeches? Can’t remember any of late can you? That’s because all they’re doing is pointing out what they say is wrong coming from Obama and Biden and these are remarks taken out of context mixed with blatant lies and gross rewriting of history.
Sarah Palin won’t appear in her own press conference or on a reputable show like “Meet the Press” but she can appear of “Saturday Night Live”. This isn’t a joy ride Sarah Palin; you’re on the V.P. train give a press release and actually show up for the job you’re campaigning for. Let’s face it whether we like it or not this scary Hockey mom from Alaska has her eye of the 2012 Republican nomination prize. Hello, isn’t it obvious. This SNL clip is funny because the actors and writers on SNL are funny, Sarah Palin appearing equates to yet another slap in America’s face since she’s clearly never going to hold a press conference; is this her version of being a maverick. No, thanks.
Don’t vote with the herd, do your own research and vote November 4th.
Sphere: Related ContentWhere the Right Went Wrong – an essay at heave-ho.org
Monday, October 20th, 2008
I’ve been doing a lot of reading today about Colin Powell’s endorsement of the Obama/Biden ticket. I continue to be utterly stunned at the reaction of the Right to his choice. You know, when Powell was the WMD patsy for the Bush Administration, no one had issues with him going out there looking like an idiot. He was spoon-fed his intel by the Rumsfeld-Wolfowitz propaganda machine. They needed to put a face on that big fat lie the American public could trust, so they sent Secretary of State Powell out to do their bidding. When the world found out it was all a lie, the Bush cronies pointed their crooked little fingers in Powell’s direction and cried, “It was HIM! He’s the one who fooled the American public!” Except by that time, the American public wasn’t drinking the Kool-Aid anymore.
Well, it’s been several years and those so adept at creating revisionist history are back and they are blogging like hell today, in an effort to further discredit Colin Powell. I don’t think Colin Powell left too much to the imagination in his comments yesterday. That someone would think this bright, articulate and yes, black man is endorsing Obama merely on the basis of pigment is sour grapes as the polls for McCain and Palin head decidedly south.
It’s easy to slap the term ‘racist’ on anyone with whom we disagree, but then, isn’t that the way the far right functions nowadays? If you want to win, you don’t stand on the merit of your own ideas and your own accomplishments… you call your opponent a Muslim and a terrorist and you insinuate that he ‘pals around’ with terrorists. Grow up. Wake up. Stand up. Colin Powell was right in everything he said.
America used to be a place where we celebrated a diversity of people – in everything from skin color to religion to ideals. It would seem that the Right celebrates diversity as long as everyone looks, acts and believes… just like them. But you see, that’s where the Right ran just ran it off into the ditch. They know they’re talking out of both sides of their face, but they’ve learned that the American public can be ever so easily lead by fear. I’ve said it before and I believe it bears repeating, if we choose not to learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. Think I’m kidding? read the following: “Of course the people don’t want war. But after all, it’s the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it’s always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it’s a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, a Parliament, or a Communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to do the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger. It works the same way in any country.” — Herman Goering at the Nuremburg trials. Herman Goering, for those who didn’t study in school was the Field Marshal for Hitler’s Third Reich in Nazi Germany. Is it all beginning to sound a bit too familiar now? Are you getting it, people? Can you see what they’re trying to do?
I beg of you, once again, America. Look more closely at the people asking you to drink the poison Kool-Aid (McCain/Palin and the uber Right) and compare them to ‘That One’. That calm, cool, decisive and very Presidential-looking black man over there, is offering something far, far better that will allow you to live in an America where once again, diversity and freedom of expression are not a good enough reason to place good people under survellience. I say we go back down that road less travelled and see if we, as a nation, can find our way back to greatness.

Sunday, October 19th, 2008
They say endorsements don’t affect the outcome of a U.S. Presidential election — I think this is one that will have a significant impact on this election. Watch this video clip of Gen. Colin Powell (ret.) and the listen to the very specific points he lays out in this interview with Tom Brokaw on “Meet the Press”. He states why Sarah Palin isn’t ready to be President and points out that’s the primary role of the Vice President. He goes onto state that John McCain doesn’t appear to have a grasp of the gravity of the economic crisis affecting the U.S.

Between this endorsement and the fact that Barack Obama’s campaign raised 150 million dollars in September now, we’re truly off to the races! Get out and vote November 4th!
