Who think's Powell should run?
I would trust Powell over Gulliani any day. Powell had enough sense to separate from the Bush administration. For that, he has my respect. He carries an air of dignity and integrity that the spineless Bush administration lacks. But then again, I don't think I am going to vote republican or democrat. That's why I can not vote in this poll. Good luck.
Powell has good character. He is smart, courageous, and thoughtful. I think he would be a great leader. Actually he is the most capable person I can think of to handle the increasingly heavy duties of our President.

This thread is really a pipe-dream...It's not happening...
Calm2Chaos said:Anybody but hilary please.... Tell ya what, I'll vote for cnredd before medusa gets a lever pull.
Ya up for it cn:2razz:
cnredd said:Voting for me before Hillary is NOT much of a compliment.:roll:
I have stated this publicly years ago to friends and co-workers...
"I will never attempt to become the President of the United States..."
Why?
"Cause I don't want to be in change of you A-holes!":2wave:
I have an urge to write a book showing how everyday Americans can be total idiots...excerpts from frivolous lawsuits...articles that show "Darwin Award" nominees...and general blather how people care more about Brad & Jen breaking up more than they do about their nation's well-being...
Title?..."You suck!":2wave:
That's like saying "Bigfoot is a little hairy"...Calm2Chaos said:Well damm..
OK then powell it is.
Anything other then angry hillary...lol She's a little bit scary....:2razz:

Surenderer said:Kinda reminds me of a quote I once read.............
The American people are very generous people and will forgive almost any weakness, with the possible exception of stupidity.
- Will Rogers (1879-1935)
Surenderer said:But I guess I could quote him all day....but who is more stupid.........him or me for reading his book? <shrug>
Surenderer said:Sad that Navy is probably right on about that and probably deserves deeper insight (because he seems to think Blacks would rather look up to Sharpton or Jackson instead of Powell)
I am angry that so many of the sons of the powerful and well-placed ... managed to wangle slots in Reserve and National Guard units .... Of the many tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class discrimination strikes me as the most damaging to the ideal that all Americans are created equal and owe equal allegiance to their country (Colin Powell, My American Journey, p. 148)
Hmmm........
SKILMATIC said:This is why some people in america are just plain idiots. And its becasue people would rather see a white person in charge than a black. Supremisists would rather have hitler in charge than Powell and thats rediculous.
I would actually vote for powell before chenney, hillary, or anyone else for that matter.
Powell for president:2wave:
Although cnredd i think would be a good candidate I think he would rather kick peoples asses in arguments on forums. Mostly Bills or bans :lol:
