Haha...of course he's not far left to you. You're even farther than that and are a far left wack-job. Obama has gotten the government involved more into the private sector than anyone ever has and he's not done, oh no, not by a long shot. He is just getting started.

As a fairly public figure Powell wouldn't just come out and say, "Hey, I know Obama's political stances don't really fall inline with my party affiliation, but I'm gonna go ahead and vote for him because he's black."

Give me a break. That might not have been the sole reason he did but I'm sure it was a huge factor in it. Otherwise he should stop pretending and change his party affiliation. So he's either lying about why he voted for Obama or he's lying about being a Republican. Either way Powell is a liar. There is nothing racist about it. But it's always nice of the liberals to toss the racism card out and imagine in their fairy tail world that they are right.
