RillyNiceGuy: But endoresments should not sway anyone because it is based then on the person making the endosement and no longer the man running.

It is like the greatest scientific discoveries for health being made by actors and singers. The faith of belief is then put on the actors and singers ....the product is then bought without further thought by a great many.

What Powell thinks is then the issue instead of what Obama does. many fall for this. It should not be used by any politician. It is a form of manipulation. We are being feed much and the masses of unthought are hearded to an end by those of ability to manipulate.

I am not saying anything against Obama or McCain. I don't like the manipulation of the masses.




sorry Rilly, but there are people who know more than I. He is one of many that I have faith in. The president has a lot of advisors. No president, but Bush, makes decisions by himself

If a man so respected by both parties chooses on candidate over another. I want to know why. Powell offered a sound reason. If giving an opinion is manipulation of the masses...then so be it!!

jlw45: yes, i'm sure alot of men did feel the same....and no the REAL torture had'nt started YET but, he had a broken leg and a broken shoulder and could have gone home.....and he did'nt


He didn't have that either when he had the chance to help the other POW?MIA's come home.

What did he do then, he stormed out of the meeting of the committie, he verbally attacked the sister of another POW in congress.

He literally pushed a woman away so hard, who was begging for his help putside his office, that she slammed into a wall.

Yea that's some kind of hero for you.

I don't know what that means. I thought we had a good relationship. Even if we didn't agreeon a lot. But it doesn't matter, I guess. Have at it. You know that "dress" was for laughs. But.....

I just don't understand how being a POW qualifies a person to be president..or how a hockey mom qualifies a person to be vice president......yet complain when a four star general endorses a candidate!!confused

Sparky55: The thing is, I can't find much on this other than the Huffington post. I've checked the major networks and seen nothing (Not even CNN). If I find something I'll certainly respond but you know me. I want to see something a little more concrete. I would think the liberal media would have this all over the place. Maybe I missed something and I will surely reply if I find it.



Well I have googled this till I am sick. The fact is, other than an article from Huffington post used in the LA times on 20 Oct there is nothing to substantiate your claim. Perhaps the important networks (CNN, CBS, ABC, MSNBC and the DNC are just a bit slow. Given their unbiased past behavior I really doubt it. Perhaps something will come out later but for the moment....

do note...it isn't the OBama supporters that are getting angry and insulting. It's the McCain people who have resorted to the personal attacks. Kind of like the temperment of the man they support.

Naw Ship, I only wanted the Obama slanted stations. I figured they would be the ones slinging the mud a McCain if there any to sling. However, maybe I should check FOX, they are after all fair and balanced... here's to you
