  Looks like the Washington Post just did as well: http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/washington-post-endorsement-four-more-years-for-president-obama/2012/10/25/6ca309a2-1965-11e2-bd10-5ff056538b7c_story.html
  
  At least there's still Lindsey Lohan and Nikki Manaj :roll: I don't think a single person has ever changed their vote due to an endorsement though. Does anyone know anyone that has?

  Well, it was no surprise. Even if Powell does it and says it's within his values I don't disagree, because Powell was always a closet Libtard.

  
  
  What a shame, General Powell had quite a distinguished Military career ...

  It disgusts me that a media outlet is endorsing a candidate. Unbiased media my butt.

  I put no credibility in any endorsement from the Washington Post or the NY Times. Those papers are freaking Pink!!!

  I think it made more of a difference in the past though. Not so much now. Maybe to the MTV crowd if they don't have opinions of their own yet...

  Oh... screw Powell. Romney has Chuck Norris, Clint Eastwood, and Gene Simmons on his side.
  
  Take that Colin...

  What did Powell ever do besides kiss butt up the chain of command to get himself promoted? He parlayed his ethnicity into a command position, and I don't recall that he ever distinguished himself in a combat situation like McArthur, Patton, or Eisenhower. Now he's playing that old tired race card- - - -again!

  Powell did have a few times in Vietnam, but it wsa a brief stint and nothing like MacArthur. Not to change the subject but I think MacArthur was a bid tapped. They said in the Philippines before he finally left, he would go visit the lines on Bataan. He would walk around oblivious to fire. Planes would strafe right next to him and he'd look up at them and mouth sweet insults to the Japanese pilots. Then Sutherland would get some people to go fetch the general from the face of death. No disrespect because MacArthur was MacArthur was MacArthur. He was whatg he was. But he was still a great general. BTW, for anyone that doesn't know, Sutherland was his Chief of Staff during WWII.

  Powell was a douche for endorsing Ovomit in 2008. Now he is a double-douche. Since he has outed himself as a fake Republican, I wouldn't vote for him for dog-catcher.....not even trash-collector. I can't believe someone on this forum said a while back Powell would make a good presidential candidate.......hogwash!
