1. Colin Powell is a war criminal, perjurer, and traitor. Who needs his endorsement?

9. The voice of reason!

We're trying to associate McCain with the Bush administration, not Obama with Bush! Even if he is supposedly regretful. That entire "Bush sounds like a liberal" schtick at the RNC (Palin's night I believe) was designed to capitalize on a future news story, and a Powell endorsement would work just fine for their purposes. "See guys? Bush = OBAMA! We said it way back at the convention, and now it's been proven!"

2. I wouldn't count on it

remorse requires empathy, something conservatives tend to not have much of.

4. Why wait for next week?

If Powell were to endorse Obama, I might get back some of the positive thoughts I had about the man before he joined in the deception of the American people.

6. Uncle Tom

That is all Powell is. That is what he will be remembered as.

7. I am sorry to say this about a military man. But he is a coward and will not stand for a good thing

the same way he went along with a lie. I am not counting on him to do the right thing.
