like this brilliant run down of attributes and qualifications.

It's Colin Powell's opinion and he has every right to endorse any candidate for any reason he chooses--and quite frankly, I'll take his opinion over yours every time he cares to share it. Powell may be a member of the republican party, but he is a moderate. This endorsement does not surprise me in the least. I just wish it were Powell on the ticket instead of McCain.

[hoosier]

This is...crap

Care to elaborate or is this the best you've got?

every word is garbage, the whole premise is flawed.

In Muttonhead's case the lyrics are terrible and the music sucks too.

[hoosier]

Bobble....did you listen to what Powell said? Did you listen to all the reasons he gave for endorsing Hussein and not Mac and Palin?

Eloquence and rhetoric.

I'll paraphrase Mark Steyn who said of Obama: "The music is great, but the lyrics are terrible."

You're coming across here as someone who believes what is convenient and discards the rest. I understand that you may not agree with Powell's assessment of the two candidates, but to write what he said off as "eloquence and rhetoric" is to approach Tex-like myopia.

title: What Can You Do With A General?


[Verse:]
When the war was over, why, there were jobs galore
For the G.I. Josephs who were in the war
But for generals things were not so grand
And it's not so hard to understand

[Refrain:]
What can you do with a general
When he stops being a general?
Oh, what can you do with a general who retires?

Who's got a job for a general
When he stops being a general?
They all get a job but a general no one hires

They fill his chest with medals while he's across the foam
And they spread the crimson carpet when he comes marching home
The next day someone hollers when he comes into view
"Here comes the general" and they all say "General who?"
They're delighted that he came
But they can't recall his name

Nobody thinks of assigning him
When they stop wining and dining him
It seems this country never has enjoyed
So many one and two and three and four star generals
Unemployed

Those were some of his most prominent comments. I considered everything he said, pretty much. I found his explanation for his endorsement overall quite shallow - and transparent. I would have liked some challenging questions asked. My comment on his endorsing Obama for his eloquence and rhetoric was an opportunity for a quip from Steyn that I think sums up the Obama phenomenon quite nicely in a snap shot. I see and talk to a lot of people who love Obama and the whole idea of him as president, but who know relatively little about what he is going to do and what he stands for.

On August 29, McCain announced that Gov. Palin would be his choice for VP.
It has been reported that the RNC has spent, give or take, $150,000 on her wardrobe, hair and makeup. From 8-29 till today......55 days......that's an average of $2727.27 a day.
I DO NOT have problem with the RNC spending money making her look her best, whether it be facials, clothes, shoes, whatever.........but to appeal to the large majority of 'middle class'........what was wrong with going to places like Sears, JCPenney, ColdWaterCreek, or even Talbots?
$2727 is a hefty monthly mortgage payment, it's too much for a daily clothing expenditure.

Edit.........to be fair, if you take it thru Nov 4, 68 days, it does drop to $2205.88

Very interesting and relevant. But do you think she'll be in favor of surrendering the Golan Heights to Syria?

No, that isn't an important issue to folks like PIP.

The media and the left like to point out Palin's wardrobe, but wasn't there an article about Michelle Obama getting lobster and caviare with room service. Oh, that sounds like the average person eating at Cracker Barrel. Here' is comes.... We could nit pick that stuff all day long but that's not what is important.

No...she would be in favor of invading Syria to trigger the apocalypse.
