Colin Powell Gets It

Colin Powell hits the mark straight on with a voice of reason and credibility.


Palin and her limited and narrow idea of America continues...


"We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard-working, very patriotic, pro-America areas of this great nation."
-Sarah Palin

This Joe-six pack and Joe the plumber populism is cover for this shallow and narrow view that Obama is other and different and that Palin is the ultimate American. Palin does not understand the history or the diversity of America and continues to campaign by making America smaller and petty instead of inclusive and grand.

Colin Powell gets it...



The Houston Chronicle:

Perhaps the worst mistake McCain made in his campaign for the White House was the choice of the inexperienced and inflammatory Palin as his vice-presidential running mate.

The Miami Herald:

A turning point came during the Republican convention, when he chose a long-shot for a running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, out of an apparent need to appease the right wing of the party. For all of her rhetorical skills on the campaign trail -- particularly in the attack mode -- Gov. Palin appears to know little about the issues and simply is not qualified to be commander in chief.
