    Powell laid out his reasons in a clear and articulate manner...now what proof do you have that you voted for Obama in 2008....better yet why should we trust a guy like you over a decorated and proven 5 star general...tell me again just who the are YOU?
    It doesn't matter who I voted for in 2008. What proof do you have that you aren't Extra Stout, a Spurs fan masquerading as a Lakers fan?

    It wasn't the alternative. Do you think Powell's vote made that much of a difference? He came out after the election and endorsed Obama.
    their own team sited the reasons. a person didn't have to wait until after to see it.

    I don't think you understand my point.

    Btw, I would have voted for Powell over anyone who's run in the past 20 years.

    I voted for Gary Johnson. Obama has sucked ass as president in his first term. I don't give a if he's biracial. He sucks ass just like Bush sucked ass as president.

    Not according to the video where Powell himself starts crying just talking about Obama winning. When a family member votes for you, it's not because they didn't like the alternative. It's because you share a common bond and they feel they owe it to the family.
    The two notions are not mutually exclusive and you are just making up to fit your confirmation bias.

    White people vote for white people just because they are white.

    1%ers vote for 1%er Gecko because he's 1%.

    The Repug "Christian"/bubba base hates, despises Barry because he is black, not because of ACA, NDAA, drones, CFPB, GM/Chrysler, TARP, etc.

    For them America is a Euro-American, white, Christian country, and any others are to be kept away from power, money, control of the country.

    On Thursday, Romney campaign co-chair advanced the theory that Gen. Colin Powell endorsed President Obama because he’s black. But this isn’t the first time Sununu or even Mitt Romney’s campaign have introduced Obama’s race into the election. The former New Hampshire governor has repeatedly suggested that Obama or his policies are “foreign,” European, and something less than American. Here are some of his greatest hits:

    – Obama is foreign.
    Obama doesn’t understand the “American system” because “he spent his early years in Hawaii smoking something, spent the next set of years in Indonesia, another set of years in Indonesia, and, frankly, when he came to the U.S. he worked as a community organizer, which is a socialized structure.” [Fox News, 7/17/2012]

    – Obama doesn’t know how to be an American.
    During a conference call, Sununu claimed, “The men and women all over America who have worked hard to build these businesses, their businesses, from the ground up is how our economy became the envy of the world. It is the American way. And I wish this president would learn how to be an American.” [Conference call, 7/17/2012]

    – Obama is a lazy idiot.
    Sununu described Obama’s debate performance as “babbling,” “lazy,” and “disengaged,” and dismissed the possibility that he could do better in the future. “When you’re not that bright you can’t get better prepared.” [Fox News, 10/4/2012]

    – Obama has no class, just wants to be cool.
    “That moment of using the B.S. word was kind of a self-defining moment for the president,” he told Sean Hannity. “No class, wants to be cool. Sacrifices the dignity of the presidency for appearing cool to a magazine that works for some of his base.” [Fox News, 10/25/2012]

    http://thinkprogress.org/politics/20...s-about-obama/

    Repugs and right-wingers aren't racist, nah, never. They vote for the white man because the other guy is a lazy, unAmerican, pot-smoking, jive-ass cool black man.

    Do you work for Bill O'reilly...The No Spin factor that's actually built on Spin....how do you know that Extra Stout wasn't a real Laker fan troll masquerading as Spur fan to befriend you ....only to turnaround and use the information you shared with him against you...

    can get real deep..just ask Donald Trump

    "Powell added he was pleased with the Obama administration's views on climate change, health care, immigration and education. As for the rising federal debt, he faulted Congress for failing to reach a "grand bargain" on a deficit-reduction plan."

    So, he's good with everything on the Democratic platform. I would say his claim that he's a "moderate Republican" is ridiculous.

    Saying I don't like most black people is not the same as saying I hate black people. You just gained another stupidity point.
    Ironic, considering you could die off today and only like white people more likeable.

    I only like slightly more white people if I were to count by percentage. Did you miss the past statement that I also don't like most white people I meet?

    Some where along the way someone mistakenly convinced you that your opinion matters or that you're important...like I tell all racists get in line, suck a BBC, and die.

    Well, I am not a racist. That is your bigoted view. Your opinion isn't that important, I just like to set the facts strait when possible.

    He didn't just say that he can't agree with Republicans. He said he likes the president's position on a number of issues. That's a distinct and important difference, because the president would never be confused for a moderate Republican.

    You're not the judge of that. Everyone else labels you one as it's pretty obvious. You can think whatever you want.

    Do you realize how stupid your statement is?

    I have on several times admitted I am not politically correct. That said, I like to flaunt that in others faces with my blunt statements. My desire to show their hypocritical bias and bigotry, is not my bigotry. It is yours, and theirs, for assuming bias in me that doesn't exist. And I purposely said things bluntly to add food to your bias. It wo5rks quite well. I get so many laughs over responses you guys come back with, proving your own bias, that takes anything a white guy says as racist. That is pathetically stupid.

    I don't really care if you think I am a racist or not. Anyone who personally knows me knows better. After I say I don't like most black people, I say I also don't like most white people. However, those of you who like to play race games refuse to accept the addition. You only see what you want to see.

    So are you ever going to tell us the learning disability you were diagnosed with? Does it have to do with memory retention?

    Politically correct? This is not about how you refer to people. This is about how you hate on people on the basis of race. I remember your comments about black people being untrustworthy, lazy, lowlife thugs and the like. I remember you saying they were poorly spoken and how you didn't like most of them. I haven't forgotten your proposals to sterilize the poor. This has nothing to do with political correctness and everything to do withy our political and cultural views being eerily similar to the Nazi's.

    that is not hyperbole either. and just because you don't like 'white people' does not mean 'not liking more black people' is not racist. Why not say you don't like s fish? You are still holding negative views on people on the basis of race. It is what it is dimwit. Not liking most races means that you evaluate people on the basis of race and think terrible on the basis of that.

    Now you say that you really did not mean those racist things and at the same time say that you had an addendum that somehow invalidates your racist comments but that again just points to your cowardice. You either pretend like we don't understand, try to ignore it for a month and then repeat your again a month later as to ignore the initial arguments or pull this 'I didn't mean it' crap. You might admit that you missed a decimal point but you will never ever sway off your ideological wishful thinking nonsense.

    It's not just me that thinks it. It's readily apparent that you don't care what anyone thinks about you. Honestly, stalker, who backs you up? About once a week, I ask anyone on the board to back you up. Over the course of the last year since I have started doing that, not one single solitary individual has come to back you up. Now mouse trolled us the other day but even he when pressed about it would not back you up. He was egging us on.

    I was never diagnosed with a learning disability.
    I an saying I am not politically correct. I don't concern myself too much about other people's frail (in)ability to cope with facts.
    This is not about how you refer to people. This is about how you hate on people on the basis of race.
    That is your biased opinion. now i will admit to pushing back against those who base things on race. I simply wish we could be colorblind, but liberals will not allow that. they always must make things about race, so i have fun with their stupidity in my own way.
    I remember your comments about black people being untrustworthy, lazy, lowlife thugs and the like. I remember you saying they were poorly spoken and how you didn't like most of them. I haven't forgotten your proposals to sterilize the poor. This has nothing to do with political correctness and everything to do withy our political and cultural views being eerily similar to the Nazi's.
    If you like, revise those threads. I will be glad to take you step by step of what I mean. I will be glad to shatter your bigoted assumption of me.
    that is not hyperbole either. and just because you don't like 'white people' does not mean 'not liking more black people' is not racist.
    It doesn't mean I am racist either. That is your own assumption, and an incorrect one at that.
    Why not say you don't like s fish? You are still holding negative views on people on the basis of race. It is what it is dimwit. Not liking most races means that you evaluate people on the basis of race and think terrible on the basis of that.
    Again, your assumption.
    Now you say that you really did not mean those racist things and at the same time say that you had an addendum that somehow invalidates your racist comments but that again just points to your cowardice.
    I didn't know racial comments are the same as racist comments. Are they in your world? Don't you know the difference?

    That's why I bring up the PC aspect. Only a politically correct individual would say a racial comment is the same as a racist comment.

    It isn't...

    I do not believe minorities are inferior. I do believe that culture shapes the character of people, of all races. I think it's sad that anyone lives in a culture that makes them white trash, or black trash. It's just a statistical fact that a larger percentage of minorities live under bad cultural conditions than whites.
    You either pretend like we don't understand, try to ignore it for a month and then repeat your again a month later as to ignore the initial arguments or pull this 'I didn't mean it' crap. You might admit that you missed a decimal point but you will never ever sway off your ideological wishful thinking nonsense.
    To me, it's obvious you do not understand. You keep repeating the same misconceptions over and over.
    It's not just me that thinks it. It's readily apparent that you don't care what anyone thinks about you. Honestly, stalker, who backs you up? About once a week, I ask anyone on the board to back you up. Over the course of the last year since I have started doing that, not one single solitary individual has come to back you up. Now mouse trolled us the other day but even he when pressed about it would not back you up. He was egging us on.
    And you think that matters? I don't.

    can't wait to hear your description of a moderate republican. you know....a moderate republican thats running for president with the courage to say anything that might disturb his base.

    you see, the current president has disturbed his base. does your candidate have the courage to do that?
