Colin Powell: Tea Party presidential candidate can't win in 2012, blames them for divisive tone (Clarence Thomas, party affiliation)

[Savoir Faire]

Former Bush administration Secretary of State Colin Powell on Sunday dismissed chances for a Tea Party candidate to win the presidential election,

"The Tea Party point of view of 'no compromise whatsoever' is not a point of view that will eventually produce a presidential candidate who will win,"

"The media loves this game where everybody's on the extreme,"

That was before he threw his support behind Barry.

Now that he has seen the light and been converted its ok. He's one of them now.

He has transitioned from house ****** to field ******. To quote Malcom.

Amazing how quick you guys turn on black folks that leave the plantation. Of course, i try to warn these folks before they go over there, but they never listen until it's too late.

But since you guys decided to put Powell back in his place after he said he would vote for Obama, seems as if he's been feeling more freedom to critisize the right wing.

Don't grasp at straws, that's not what he said.

Amazing how I called that one before it got posted.

Colin Powell went after Palin negatively in support of Obama.. now we see that racial affiliation is more important to Powell than party affiliation.

So if Powell didn't support Palin it had to be because Palin wasn't Black and Obama was?

Now that's playing the race card.

Anyone who feels compelled to support Palin (or other incompetents) because she has an R after her name is embodying the problem with modern US politics.

No...i wasn't about to wait for HIM to say it. For some people, you don't need to wait....you already know.

It'll come out eventually. Wait a few pages.
