Powell: Loyalty Not in His Vocabulary, Could Throw Obama Under the Bus

Colin Powell served his country in the military. He served under Presidents Reagan, Bush 41 and 43, and Bubba the boy President. I thank him for his service. That is about all I can nicely say about Colin Powell. He represents the worst bureaucratic mentality in military careerists. He is nothing more than a social climber, a man who threw what he claimed were his conservative values out the window to vote for a man simply because of the color of his skin. Now, he may be having buyers' remorse:
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who famously crossed party lines to vote for President Obama in 2008, said today that he’s not necessarily supporting the president for reelection in 2012.

“I haven’t decided who I’m going to vote for,” Powell said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “Just as was the case in 2008, I am going to watch the campaign unfold. In the course of my life I have voted for Democrats, I have voted for Republicans, I have changed from one four-year cycle to another.

“I’ve always felt it my responsibility as a citizen to take a look at the issues, examine the candidates, and pick the person that I think is best qualified for the office of the president in that year. And not just solely on the basis of party affiliation,” he said.

Asked about the Republican field, Powell said there are some “interesting candidates,” but no one who has “emerged into the leading position.”

“So let’s see if anybody else is going to join, and we’ve got a long way to go,” he added.

Basically, Powell is trying to get the GOP establishment to go for a Huntsman type candidate, so we can lose the conservative base. Then, he will end up still supporting Obama, simply because of the color of his skin, not the lack of depth or breadth in his character. Powell may have served his country in the military honorably, but he is not an honorable man.

Colon Powellyp's Macaca Moment: Is He Bigot, Liar, or Criminal?

The answer is: All three. Colin Powell, former relevant person who betrayed principle and endorsed Obama because "he's down with the struggle", has now shown that he is a criminal, a racist, and a liar, who is willing, just like Obama, to throw anyone under the bus for his mistakes. To wit, on Sunday, Colin Powell, in order to keep his "struggle" streetcred, went to Meet the dePress(ed), where he talked about illegal immigration and shamnesty, which he loves:
POWELL: The American people want their borders to be protected. There's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with making sure that people come across our borders, particularly our southern border, in a legal, safe manner. But at the same time we have millions and millions of illegal immigrants in our country, undocumented individuals, who are working, who are doing things we need done in this country. They're all over my house doing things whenever I call for repairs. I'm sure you've seen them at your house.

OK, so, the Colon Powellyp is now making the assumption that people working on his house are illegals. Does he know this? If not, isn't he just making an assumption based on a person's ethnicity or job/social status? Doesn't that make him a bigot? Isn't he guilty of racial profiling. And, of course, if he knows they are illegals, then he is in direct violation of the law and would be subject to enforcement of the one immigration statute dems like to enforce: going after those who hire illegals.

Well, someone must have told the Colon Powellyp that he ticked off la Raza and subjected himself to possible criminal investigation, so he said this in USA Today, "clarifying" his remarks:
"I don't hire illegal immigrants," Powell says in a statement today. "On Meet the Press yesterday, I referred to illegal immigrants working around my house. I was referring to the many service contractors who work in my neighborhood, using mostly immigrant workers, who do good work. Some may well be 'illegal.'

So, because he opened his mouth and stuck his backstabbing, racially bigoted foot in his mouth, he is now throwing contractors under the bus. But, where is the apology? This man is still assuming that the people working on his house are illegals. If a non-Obama supporter said this, there would be rioting. But since the Colon Powellyp has been woken up to the glory of His Self-Centeredness, Obama, then it is ok, he just misspoke. Right.....

And, if the Colon Powellyp is hiring illegals or those contractors who use illegals, he must not care for his African American brethren in the construction business, who are hurting for work......Guess he is not so much down for the struggle as down for whatever issue gets him back in the good graces of the press and back in front of the cameras. Racist. Bigot. Liar. Criminal.

It is time this Powellyp was removed and discarded into the biohazard pile.

Is Colin Powell a Bigot, or Did He Just Vote That Way?

I think this is a fair question. I mean, the Left tells those of us who didn't vote for His Holiness the antiChrist One that we are bigots and racists. If we have disagreements with Obama's ideas, we are labelled bigots who just like white people. However, in the case of Colin Powell, we have some interesting evidence. His own words....

First, from the 1996 Republican National Convention:
I became a Republican because I believe, like you, that the federal government has become too large and too intrusive in our lives. We can no longer... (applause) We can no longer afford solutions to our problems that result in more entitlements, higher taxes to pay for them, more bureaucracy to run them, and fewer results to show for it. (applause)

Hmmm....let's see...Under Obama, the federal government now has a phalanx of 'czars' who are out there usurping power from other agencies and the legislature....that means the federal government has grown...and under Cap and Tax, it is going to grow more...and let's see....More entitlements? Isn't a national healthcare idea another entitlement? Hmmmm.....Well, let's see what Powell said recently when interviewed by John King. Here is the question, based on the quote above--When it comes to spending and the reach and the role of government, has the president met the test laid out by Colin Powell in 1996?:
Well, first, let me say, that was a pretty good statement, I thought. And I believe in all those things.

Atta Boy Colon Colin! Pat yourself on the back! Didn't Ronald Reagan, whom you claim to admire, have a plaque that said you can accomplish anything as long as you don't care who gets credit? Hmmm...guess that is another thing you just thought was words....But wait, here comes the rest of what the Small Intestine has to say:
But I also believe that we should have a government that works. I don't like slogans anymore like "limited government." That's not the right answer. The right answer is, give me a government that works. Keep it as small as possible. Keep the tax burden on the American people as small as possible, but at the same time, have government that is solving the problems of the people. The people want their problems solved. And very often, it's government that has to do that.

Really, Small intestine? How has government solved that poverty problem? How has government solved the donut hole in the medicare gap? How has the EPA worked anytime recently? How efficient is the USPS? The License Bureau? People want solutions that work and are efficient, not solutions that just make you feel good and wind up killing the country! Government is not the solution. Never has been. Ingenuity, entrepeneurship, ideas. Those are where solutions come from, not bureaucracy. But wait, Small Intestine really gets going here in a minute:
So let's have good government, effective government, whether you call it limited or not. Now, I think one of the challenges that President Obama has now is that he's got so many things on the table, and these are issues that the American people find important, health care and so many other issues. But I think one of the cautions that has to be given to the president -- and I've talked to some of his people about this -- is that you can't have so many things on the table that you can't absorb it all. And we can't pay for it all.


Aha, I sense a caveat....
I never would have believed that we would have budgets that are running into the, you know, multi-trillions of dollars -- and we are amassing a huge, huge national debt that if we don't pay for in our lifetime, our kids and grandkids and great-grandchildren will have to pay for it. So I think the president, as he moves forward with these initiatives, has to start really taking a very, very hard look at what the cost of all this is and how much additional bureaucracy -- and will it be effective bureaucracy? -- be needed to make all this happen.

KING: So it's early but you're a little worried?

POWELL: Huh? Yes.

KING: That's a fair way to put it?

POWELL. Yeah. I'm a little concerned. "Concerned" would be a better word. I'm concerned at the number of programs that are being presented, the bills associated with these programs, and the additional government that will be needed to execute them.

But wait, Small Intestine, I thought that you wanted "government that works." Now you are concerned about additional government. And I thought you said when you endorsed Obama that the American people wanted higher taxes. Gee, Small Intestine, you really are all clogged up with...um....well, what flows out of the small intestine....

So, if Colin Powell is now concerned about what all Obama is doing, especially when Obama announced all this is his books and his rhetoric, then WHY did Powell endorse Obama? Did he like the stolen Pepsi logo? Did he like the church Obama frequented? Does he like Bill Ayers? Or, could it be, Colin Powell aka Small Intestine Powellyp, is nothing more than a Sonia Sotomayor bigot?
