What Novak describes is classic "cutting off of the nose to spite the face" and if Colin Powell falls for such idiocy, the end of civilization is near. Anyone who can not see through the crap coming from Obama needs serious mental help fast. If these people mentioned find anything wrong with The Party then they are obliged to make change from within and not jump on the band wagon of a man who is sure to destroy this Country and leave it wide open to terrorist attacks. A vote for Obama is the same as allowing surgery on yourself or a loved one by someone who claims to be a Surgeon but offers no proof or examples of prior performance that he is. I admire Colin Powell and would follow him into any battle ... but, if he defects to the character Obama, I desert.
