<p><strong>Colin Powell</strong> was on Meet the Press tonight where he officially endorsed <strong>Barack Hussein Obama</strong>. I have always respected Powell, but after hearing his reasoning for endorsing Obama, I now find Powell&rsquo;s motivation suspect. I know Powell was sincere in his endorsement, but he should have stopped there. The more Powell said, the more he sounded like a liberal democrat who strongly identifies with Obama because they are both black, and they both have liberal values, not that there is anything wrong with either. Powell waited until the last possible minute to announce his endorsement, so he wouldn&rsquo;t risk his own reputation or future government appointments. The bottom line, Powell is an a$$ kisser, whether it be a democrat or republican a$$. I thought Powell was more of his own man, but I was wrong.</p>
<p><strong>Rush Limbaugh</strong> said Colin Powell&rsquo;s decision to get behind Barack Obama appeared to be very much tied to Obama&rsquo;s status as the first African-American with a chance to become president. Limbaugh <a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/1008/Limbaugh_Where_are_the_inexperienced_white_liberals_Powell_has_endorsed.html?showall" target="_blank" >wrote in an e-mail</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>&quot;Secretary Powell says his endorsement is not about race. OK, fine. I am now researching his past endorsements to see if I can find all the inexperienced, very liberal, white candidates he has endorsed. I&rsquo;ll let you know what I come up with.&quot;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>As for Powell&rsquo;s statement of concern this morning about the sort of Supreme Court justices a President McCain might appoint, Limbaugh wrote:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>&quot;I was also unaware of his dislike for John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy and Antonin Scalia. I guess he also regrets Reagan and Bush making him a four-star general and secretary of state and appointing his son to head the FCC. Yes, let&rsquo;s hear it for transformational figures.&quot;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Limbaugh always makes good points, but there&rsquo;s no reason to find fault in Powell&rsquo;s comments, Powell himself has finally revealed who he really is, and I prefer it that way. We still need to make up our own minds, and vote for who we believe will be the best President for America. Don&rsquo;t forget to vote.</p>

<p align="justify">According to many unreliable, biased, and rumor spreading <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article2983771.ece" target="_blank" >sources</a>, <strong>Condoleezza Rice</strong> (pictured above) was the first choice to run as <strong>John McCain</strong>&rsquo;s Vice Presidential running mate, but she was not chosen because she is a lesbian, but this allegation is only a rumor. Rice <a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/702793/condoleezza_rice_as_vice_president.html?image=255701&#038;page=3" target="_blank" >said</a> she is returning to Stanford after her she is finished with her Secretary of State duties:</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="justify">&quot;Senator McCain is an extraordinary American, a really outstanding leader and obviously a great patriot. That said, I am going back to Stanford, back to California, west of the Mississippi. I very much look forward to watching this campaign and voting as a voter.&quot;</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">Rumors have also been circulating that Rice has a lover named Randy Bean (pictured below), who she owns a home with. Bean <a href="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2007/10/condoleezza-rice-randy-bean-not-gay-home.php" target="_blank" >responded</a> to this rumor saying:</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="justify">&quot;The rumors are complete blather, and the rumor-mongering is at its least imaginative.&quot;</p>
<p align="justify">&quot;Condi and I have been friends for 25 years. We co-own an investment property in Palo Alto. <strong>We do not share a home</strong>.&quot;</p>
<p align="justify">&quot;The insult to my integrity is not that I&rsquo;m gay, but that I&rsquo;m closeted. For the record, I&rsquo;m straight. Anyone who knows me knows how strongly connected I am to my values and political beliefs. If I were gay, I&rsquo;d be out, loud, and proud.&quot;</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">Bean, who now works for Stanford University, told Washington Post correspondent <strong>Glenn Kessler</strong> on his radio show, that she was buried in medical bills, and Rice helped her buy the home along with another acquaintance, <strong>Coit Blacker</strong>, a Stanford professor who is openly gay.</p>
<p align="justify">It&rsquo;s not like there aren&rsquo;t gay Republicans, it&rsquo;s just the liberal democrats like to try to embarrass those gay Republicans that would like to remain in the closet, which is a rude violation of their personal privacy. Even if Rice turns out to be a lesbian, the rumor that McCain didn&rsquo;t choose her because she is alleged to be a lesbian, is the rumor that was fabricated to make McCain look like a homo hater. McCain has on staff a man who is gay, which says it all.</p>
<p align="justify">I would like to have seen <strong>Colin Powell</strong> be the V.P. running mate.</p>

<p align="justify"><strong>Colin Powell</strong> is rumored to be on the short list for a <strong>John McCain</strong> vice presidential running mate. If McCain were elected president, Powell would become the first black vice president. Powell would make a great Vice President.</p>
<p align="justify">False rumors started circulating this week that Powell was going to endorse <strong>Barack Obama</strong>, and would attend the democratic convention. Powell strongly denied those rumors saying:</p>
<blockquote><p align="justify">&quot;I do not have time to waste on Bill Kristol&rsquo;s musings. I am not going to the convention. I have made this clear.&quot;</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">The democrats would love to have Obama on their side, however, Powell served in the Bush Republican presidential cabinet as <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/government/powell-bio.html" target="_blank" >Secretary of State</a>. Powell has proven himself to be credible, and honest.</p>
<p align="justify">If John McCain chose Colin Powell as his vice presidential running mate would you vote for McCain over Obama?</p>
