Colin Powell in 2008?

[BluegrassDem]

How would you all greet the idea of Colin Powell jumping ship and becoming a Democrat and running for president in 2008? He seems to be on the right side of issues most important to the party, such as being pro-choice and pro-affirmative action. He's actually more liberal than some of the so-called centrist Democrats. I think he could win hands down. He doesn't seem to like a lot of people in the Bush admin., particularly the neocons. That would really piss them off.

1. He sold his soul

Not gonna happen.

2. Don't count on it.

Though I still hold out hope that he'll resign, then write a tell-all book on the * administration. He's become their scapegoat, and even though I don't like him, there's a good change that he's disenchanted, and generally pissed.

But don't count on it. The neocons have...ways of keeping him in lockstep.

3. no.

Harry Belafonte was right.

4. Powell

Fuck Colin Powell -- he has displayed a huge lack of character and cannot be trusted. Not to mention he has the spine of a jelly fish.

5. Do you remember that he sold this war to the UN

with false info? Never will I support Powell for any public office.

6. Powell's a sell out

I no longer have any respect for him.

[CMO]

7. He's tainted

by the Bush administration. There's no way that the dems (including myself) would trust him to be our candidate. He's a sell out!

8. and maybe the dems could get maccain to be his VP!!!!!

the secret of a dem victory in 2008, run republicans!


jeez, powell has been a RW lackey his entire career, begining with his part in trying to cover-up the mylai massacre. get over him.

9. Shit, why don't we just get Jeb?

Go home, DLC pukes :puke:

[sendero]

10. I wouldn't....

.... give you a bucket of warm spit.

Colin Powell is a man I trust and respect even less than the delusional neocons. He knew better, but to keep his job he just suddenly threw everything he knew and believed out the window and starting lying his ass off.

If the Dem party even nominated him, it would be the last vote they ever got from me.
