Man there is some cognitive dissonance there. I'm wondering if this guy spent his whole life not understanding wtf he believes and why he is doing what he does.

If only your political views had seen the miles that your car has. You lack the perspective of age.

As a registered republican, I voted McCain in 2008. But Powell's endorsement of Obama over McCain is very much in-line with his philosophy (the Powell Doctrine) concerning long protracted wars which McCain was always supporting.

I think Powell was a foreign policy voter. In 2012, there was no reason for adults who form their opinions outside of the tv news cycle and talk radio to vote Romney over Obama in that context. Meaning there was no "sure thing" upside to Romney on the foreign policy front.

In 16, no one with a brain would have voted for Trump over Hillary. Powell was not a fan of Hillary. He spoke very publicly about her "hubris" costing her the election.

That is a pretty scary quote. Hate to think that the people making these decisions have such unexamined lives. Nice is different than good as they say

I always thought he was a butt kisser and he was just a democrat but he was in the army and kissed so many butts to get there that he just cant admit that he was a democrat.

That is until the parties flipped when he was able to start openly supporting their candidates

I'm still not vaccinated, masked, or sanitized.

last week i licked a grocery store floor because my friend was bitching about germs and sanitization.

Thats why i don't get sick, I expose myself to everything.

like a decade ago, i drank some round-up because people were bitching about how it causes cancer.

can't kill me.
