Colin Powell Not Kind to GOP on Meet the Press Today

He hasn't been kind to the GOP in a long time. If it was just that, it would be one thing and understandable. But how he could endorse Obama--twice--is an entirely different matter.

The current primary system just allows the most radical of each party to control and eliminate moderates. The Republican party has simply allowed the crazies to control the primaries, and the Democratic Party is becoming increasingly strident with their moderate members who are more traditional than the far left. It is a mess, and when a great American General holds his endorsement of Obama until the very last minute.....well it becomes a nose holding contest.....when Romney started talking about the Russians.....I think Powell went back to Obama again......he was correct in that choice over the candidate Romney, but it would be nice for moderate Republicans to have a candidate like Chris Chrisy......but that will never happen....he will be buried in the primaries.

He's left of eisenhower... nuff said.

I think he was pretty clear about his criticisms of the GOP. Racism and discrimination of the middle and lower classes. What's funny is the republicans here don't get, they don't have your interests at heart. They look down on you.LOL!

Powell is a schmuck. Nuff said.

If you are talking about his son....I agree.....If you are talking about the general....I disagree......other than his support for President Obama, and his trust in the intelligence he presented to the United Nations.....he has been non controversial and has served our country.

Explain then the economic levels of the African-American and Hispanic Communities under the cowh?....And yet the cowh gets a free pass and their support in very high numbers...As for the middle class...with this healthcare and new taxes....we'll see how kind this administration is to working middle class....and for the record working middle class represents ALL racial groups....You are completely incorrect about Mr Powell....he spoke out for a moderate candidate to the nominee and then supported the cowh...which certainly is his right to do so but lets not kid ourselves as to the reason why...
