Secretary Powell is a very likeable guy with a “good heart”, a lot like Sen. McCain. Leaders need a tough, SEEMINGLY “mean” heart. Powell will, like myself wait until he feels the decision is made then endorse the expected winner. I said I like Powell, but I neither approve or trust or agree with him. He sounded the bugle to leave Saddham in power, he pushed for more “diplomacy” after at least 17 broken promises by Irag. He is, while allegedly a Republican, a victim of the one true difference between Democrats & Republicans. Democrats believe heaven on earth is an attainable goal (wrong). Republicans believe men must be corralled to the least required degree by laws, lest their “dark side” takeover. Oh how we all wish the Dems where right but they are not and never will be. Give me a strong,mean-hearted GOP anyday over a deceived “peace & lover” foolish one. As for me personally I’m a Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin fan, but that ticket’s not on my ballot. I was determined to vote McCain until I discovered he voted for Ginsberg to the Supreme Court. Now I will either suck it up picking the least of evils, McCain, write in Huckabbe, or vote a straight GOP ticket, leaving the Presidential section blank. Sorry friends.

PS Every Presidential ticket I’ve voted for has won, hate to ruin my record. Did not vote during Clinton years. First legal age vote went to Jimmy Carter, wish I could take that back, but I was a young ex-hippie still hoping for heaven on earth. Now I’m a mean Vietnam Veteran who believes assassination is the best new method of warfare. Why not kill the leader/instigator rather than thousands of faithful troops and innocents.
