Colin Powell is no Republican

Okay, the subject isn't John Murtha. John Murtha also called PA residents racists, then clarified his remarks by saying they're "really redneck." He also accused Marines of killing civilians and has been fighting a lawsuit for defamation.

You were making it seem as though it was Obama who made these statements.

Also, waiting on any record of anyone, including Obama who said "we lost" the war in Iraq. I've seen Senator Reids remarks on the "surge failed," however I haven't seen anything in regards to "we lost."

Any comment on McCain's uncalled for statements about our troops killing civilians during the Balkan war? It's funny, the silence on this is incredible compared to the furor over Obama's same comments about the Iraq war. If you're going to knock Obama over his comments, you'd better do the same with McCain. The comments are almost exactly the same.

Also, to clarify my remarks on Obama's experience vs Palin's...experience as either House Representative or Senator is far more broad than that of Governor of a state. There are issues, foreign and domestic, that they deal with that Governor's will never deal with. Just check out Palin's interviews or listen to speeches and you'll see she has embarrassingly little knowledge of foreign or even domestic issues that don't deal with Alaska. Her speeches, interviews and debate content is long on cute little winks and soundbytes, but dreadfully shallow on any real substance.

I know McCain and the Republican Party like to throw out the "143 days" or whatever about Obama. But the fact is, even with that little amount of time, he has more exposure to issues than what Palin has had in her 2 years.

Why is he apart of a party he hates?

If I hated the Republicans, I'd switch parties

It's not that Powell is bitter or ~hates~ the Republicans, per se. But I agree he should change his status to Independent, if anything. I don't hate the Republican party, but I'm not happy with what they've become the past few years. The party has changed, and not for the better.
