Colin Powell the final nail in McCains coffin?

It didn't take a genius to realise Palin shouldn't be allowed within a thousand light years of the presidency but at least Colin Powell had the guts to say it. Is his endorsement of Obama the final nail in McCains coffin?
Good work Colin!
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell announced Sunday that he will be voting for Sen. Barack Obama, citing the Democrat's "ability to inspire" and the "inclusive nature of his campaign."
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says he is voting for Barack Obama.
"He has both style and substance. I think he is a transformational figure," Powell said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
"Obama displayed a steadiness. Showed intellectual vigor. He has a definitive way of doing business that will do us well," Powell said.
Powell, a retired U.S. general and a Republican, was once seen as a possible presidential candidate himself.
Powell said he questioned Sen. John McCain's judgment in picking Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate because he doesn't think she is ready to be president.

Do you have any evidence that the Council on Foreign Relations has direct involvement in US Presidential campaigns? Furthermore, do you have any evidence that Powell is some sort of spokesperson for your supposed New World Order? And why would the CFR bother to publicly endorse a candidate on Meet The Press nonetheless?
And if the CFR is so deeply intertwined in presidential campaigns as you suggest, then why do you believe that Powell's endorsement is more significant than Henry Kissinger's involvement with and quasi-endorsement of McCain?

As I suggest? Please show me where I said "The CFR is intertwined in US presidential campaigns".
You are putting all kinds of words into my mouth that I never said, or implied. Here are a few examples:
> do you have any evidence that Powell is some sort of spokesperson for your supposed New World Order?
Did I mention new world order? Nope.
Did I mention Colin Powell being some soft of spokesperson. Nope.
> And why would the CFR bother to publicly endorse a candidate on Meet The Press nonetheless?
Did I mention Meet The Press? Nope.
Did I mention CFR endorsing a candidate? Nope.
If you read closely, I spoke only towards Sarah Palin, not about the presidential campaign.
Finally, any good conspiracy theory is unprovable... otherwise it wouldn't be a conspiracy theory, now would it?

Colon was riding the fence to see which one he'd endorse. Which of the two will advance me the most, politically? If he truly thought that Obama was the better candidate, why the hell did he wait until so close to the election to announce his endorsement? Would he have endorsed Obama if O. was behind in the polls? ....I think NOT

Not like Colin Powell's endorsement legitimizes Obama's campaign. Eight years ago, lots of people respected Colin Powell. I'm not sure if he has as high of a respect level as he used to though. Let's not forget that Colin Powell was the "final nail in the coffin" to borrow the OP's phrase regarding the war in Iraq. I love how Brokaw shoved that in his face on Meet The Press today. That was killer.

It's so shitty that he, of all people, has to now wear the stain of the Bush administration for the rest of his life. I've always dug him. I have to feel like this endorsement, which was very well said, is some sort of payback.

Don't take what I said the wrong way. I've got a lot of respect for what Colin Powell has achieved in his life. I suppose I should choose my words better. I have no respect for his current political views.
I think that his public endorsement of a borderline commie is proof that he has gone batshit crazy.

Likewise, I think actually believing that Obama is a "borderline Commie" either shows a lack of knowledge about communism or a much deeper problem like the one you suggested above.

I understand Communism very well and thankfully that knowledge comes from textbooks not firsthand experience. But my knowledge of Communism is not the topic at hand here.

It apparently is in contention if you believe that Obama is one, which leads directly to your criticism of Powell.

This endorsement means precisely bupkis.
All of the Republicans had already voted Powell out of their club after his quarrel with Bush over the war that led to him being sacked at the end of George's first term.
This is a close election and nothing short of the final returns on Nov 4th will be a nail in Mccain's coffin.
I, for one, am getting nervous.
There is entirely too much time left in this campaign for my liking.

You certainly suggested that the Council on Foreign Relations had something to do with Colin Powell in this election regardless of what I said. Otherwise, why did you bring them up? What relevancy do they have on the subject of Colin Powell endorsing Obama on MTP today?
Quote:
Suess said: I guess that means Palin refused to commit to the CFR's playbook.
So, are you saying that Palin is not CFR-enough for the CFR and because of that Powell chose to endorse Obama?
Please explain how that is not a suggestion of CFR involvement in this election.
I really would like to hear more about your conspiracy theory. Expand on your post.

Obama was/is a member of Chicago's New Party. To my understanding it is a branch of the Democratic Socialist Party. Lonestar2004 first posted a link to the article I'm referencing. So, YES, Obama IS a socialist.

Excuse me???? You obviously do not understand our government, nor do understand communism vs. socialism. The bail out pushed us towards socialism, not communism. Furthermore, It was the democratic house of representatives that initiated the bail out you refer to. Only the House of Representatives can innitiate ANY federally funded bill as is stipulated in our Constitution. Our congress has been democratically controlled( at least the House) for the past two years.

how can you claim that the democrats are the socialist party after watching the republican administration's actions over the last two weeks? the $1 trillion bailout just made this country more communist than china. **socialist than communist china.
didnt the democrats have a hand in that as well?

wow that statement is fucking retarded...just saying
do you have any idea what you're talking about??
tell me why democratic socialism is the same thing as communism or totalitarianism?
you OBVIOUSLY do not understand communism or the horrors people in communist countries suffer.
there is a big difference between Finland and Stalin's Russia..

let me follow that up by saying obama isnt going to turn the USA in a democratic socialist country
however, like europe and canada borrowing pieces from socialism and capitalism and meeting somewhere in the middle is right for progress.
idiots on the far right or left just dont and probably wont ever get it
oh and if obama is a "commie" then what is bush and all the republicans who helped with the bailout???? hmmmm??

I never mentioned democratic socialism but now I'm a bit intrigued. Explain to me exactly what you believe democratic socialism is and then maybe I'll be able to answer your question somewhat eloquently. "Democratic socialism" is a very broad term. Also, do you believe that Barack Obama supports this "democratic socialism" that you speak of?

usually it takes about 5 or 6 pages before a PAL thread becomes this dense with idiocy and poorly informed bias.
this is like buying concentrated orange juice, only this thread makes me feel dumber instead of quenching my thirst.

If you're talking about social democracy, it's not that much of a broad term. It's a political philosophy, same way we talk about neoconservatism in the US. Every country in Europe has a social democrat party. It was the dominant political philosophy of the post-war 20th century (and still is, in most places). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_democracy (just skimming that now, it looks like a very good article)
