Powell Endorsement: Nobody here doesn't share the karma

[RichardRay]

Not me, not any of the posters who express doubts, not the ones who rage against him. Yes, General Powell has more than a lot of other people, and he's started working it off. He gets credit for that. He has a lot more to do, and from my perspective it may take him a couple more lifetimes to get it done, but it's a start.

What's yours?

1. Admitting a mistake is more than enough.

We were certainly willing to forgive John Kerry, John Edwards, and Hillary Clinton for their enormous contributions to taking us to war with Iraq.

11. I agree

[cliffordu]

13. Yep, I'm there.

2. ..............

[RichardRay]

Great LOLCat, and beyond its unquestionable effectiveness in

expressing your perspective, it's got about as much content as a Sarah Palin debate question response.

[AspenRose]

3. I agree.

I'm still very disappointed in him, but even he is not beyond redemption.

4. Isn't part of the American dream that people get second chances.

Powell deserves one.

John McCain got a second chance after the Keating Five. Bill Ayers got a second chance...well, kind of....until the right saw him as a piece of mud to be slung at Obama in an attempt to smear him and win an election.

5. Agreed

I find the "this doesn't make up for..." arguments to be sophomoric. Of course it doesn't. But he made the right choice HERE, and we should acknowledge that as is - with no preconditions. Or is that a bad thing? I forget. ;)

6. Dupe. Sorry. n/t

7. he has blood on his hands - he will never get over that

9. Not my belief, but maybe yours is different.

I don't believe anyone is damned eternally by their acts - offsetting acts and behavior are required, but I don't believe anyone burns in hell eternally without hope.

10. if there was a hell, rapists and child molesters should be there

and traitors to our country

8. I hope he spends the rest of his life exposing all the crap of the Repubs

He is in a unique position to put out the corruption for all to see and to learn from to not allow to happen again.

Time will tell. I'm glad he endorsed Obama from a political standpoint, but yes - he can do much much more to redeem himself and set the record straight.

12. You don't get any props for endorsing Obama.

Supporting Obama doesn't make you a good person.

Supporting McCain would make you a bad person, but supporting Obama is just a basic requirement for being a decent human being.
