John McCain Lashes Out At Colin Powell After Obama Endorsement

[DemocratSinceBirth]

John McCain bitterly denounced former Secretary of State Colin Powell on Thursday for supporting President Obama for a second straight election.

“General Powell, you disappoint us and you have harmed your legacy even further by defending what is clearly the most feckless foreign policy in my lifetime,” McCain told Brian Kilmeade on his radio program.

In 2008, Powell’s late backing of Obama over McCain was one of the most widely-covered endorsements of the campaign.

Once again, Powell weighed in towards the end of the race this week, telling CBS News that he stands by the president based on his first term performance on the economy and foreign policy alike. According to Powell, he witnessed “the president get us out of one war, start to get us out of a second war and did not get us into any new wars. And finally I think that the actions he has taken with respect to protecting us from terrorism have been very very solid. And so, I think we ought to keep on the track that we are on.”

1. You know what, John?

Shut the hell up! You of all people should know that moderates are no longer welcome in today's Republican Party. Colin Powell learned that the hard way. Amazingly, YOU haven't. You are such an idiot.

10. He'll apologize after the election. That's his pattern- blow up and apologize.

11. What were you expecting, John, "shuckin' and jivin' "?

And speaking of legacies and choice, our decorated General vs. Ms. Clueless? He is a war hero; she kills wolves for sport in the wild from helicopters to get press time. She's your legacy...deal with it.

I think Powell is this generation's version of Eisenhower.

12. John McCain, you are a bitter little man.

Saying Obama's is "the most feckless...." doesn't make it so, and anyway I think your buddy George W. Bush has that honor for not only your life time but all time.

13. And then, McCain yelled...

Hey Powell, get off my grass

[Zoeisright]

16. Most feckless foreign policy in his lifetime? What a joke!

Putting that trailer trash from Wasilla a potential heart beat away from
the Presidency was the most reckless decision--foreign or domestic--
in my lifetime!

17. Most feckless foreign policy?

That's funny, because Rmoney agreed with just about everything the President said about foreign policy at the last debate ...
