Colin Powell

[Ice29]

This is what stopped Colin Powell from ever being president.

1. He's Black.
2. He's a Post 1964 Republican.
3. He's not registered with the correct party for him to get there due to his race and his 1964 Republican affiliation.

4. He's not of a generation that is recent enough to overcome his race.
5. His record IS in fact tainted, by his servitude to George W Bush.
6. He would be now be the oldest person ever to run for president,. he is now 79 years old, he would be at least 87 years old, possibly 88 by the time he was finished with the oval office.

He's simply through, kaput, done.. over.
In so many words, and slightly disgraced too, whether or not its actually a bad thing in HIS case, is a whole other story.

Yep. Has nothing to do with the color of his skin, but instead the public's perception of the content of his character.

1. Polls demonstrated that no one cared.
2. Irrelevant.
3. Polls showed otherwise.
4. Polls showed otherwise.
5. His record was greatly blessed by his service with Ronald Reagan.
6. Your op said what STOPPED HIM. That is past tense. Obviously he is too old NOW. That is not what stopped him in 1996
7. You left out the only thing that really stopped him. He didn't want the job.

Oh, and BTW.

I think most black democrats believe that if they vote republican the republican party will bring back slavery.

Yoyo, when you can show that your service was ever 1% of that of General Colin Powell, you can credibly make such statements. Until then, most just regard you as a silly failure.

I think most black democrats believe that if they vote republican the republican party will bring back slavery.

IMO, the exit polls indicated that Powell would have won without major Black Support. His voters would have been mostly Republicans and republican leaning independents.

Thus, not to many blacks.

It would have been so funny to see libs play the Race Card with a black GOP President.

I mean, I know they still would, but it would have been funny to see them be even more pathetically transparent in their bullshit, and still convinced that they are so righteous.

  Ever earn any of those? General Colin Powell earned all of them. Do you even have a dd214 that says Honorable? I do. No great deeds, but I have that.

1996 exit polls showed Powell crushing Bill Clinton.

<sigh>

Despite his later betrayals, I would really have liked to have avoided a second Clinton term.

And maybe, with the "First Black President" "Milestone" already done, we would never have heard of a certain Barry.

Hell,, if the First Black President was a republican, the lib media would have spent the last 10 years, telling us it was no big deal.

LOL!!!

Democrats have always been pro-slavery, not Republicans.

And I don't mean two centuries ago. I mean in modern times.

Democrats are scumbags.

Had Colin Powell run in 2000 like many wanted him to he'd have won in a landslide.

In Black America, in Colin Powell's generation, especially by the right wing... none of those have ever meant anything.

History says otherwise.

Powell was a respected figure in the GOP.

A large percentage of Republicans wanted him as the next President, once upon a time. Polls showed that the rest would have supported him against Clinton if he had run.

He publicly stated that he did not want the job.

What do you know about what the Right Wing thinks? Do you base in on what NPR tells you?
