I liked GEN Powell. I have read his biography (and that of H. Norman Schwarzkopf).  But, since he left the military, he has disappointed me. If these “facts” are true… he has suffered a degradation of honor. 

He is a graduate of West Point. “Duty, Honor, and Country”…  Has he failed to keep them attended?

A first hand observer of the politicization of the Viet Nam war, GEN Powell once said, “We must never enter a war which we do not intend to win.” We won the Iraq and Afghanistan wars only to squander those victories on costly, misguided, and failed “nation building” programs. Islam understands defeat on the battlefield. It exploits charity, negotiation, and compromise.

How did such a stellar and effective soldier become so gushy as a civilian? Eisenhower did not. John F Kennedy did not. H. W. and George W. Bush did not.

I liked ADM McCain and COL Graham… yet they too, have abdicated their testicles.

In these times, gushy gets people killed. This nation cries out for a confident and principled leader.

Let’s see. If the RINOs (e.g. McCain, Boehner, Graham) all join the party which they best represent… their constituency be damned… then the conservative backbone of this country will be fractured. These ill conceived, poorly researched, complicated, and undecipherable liberal programs such as ObamaCare and (the soon to be law) amnesty will break the will of the productive class. Personal initiative and personal responsibility will become unrewarding. The self serving, low information, entitlement class will then find that there is insufficient taxable productivity to support their demands. We will have rioting and anarchy.

Hmmm… looks a whole lot like Greece.

God is laughing at your comments. Sadly, neither party has a monopoly on sexual perversion and to suggest otherwise is intellectually dishonest. I will be disappointed with my party if they nominate Weiner.

Recent God fearing moralistic conservatives.

Senator John Ensign (R-NV.) confessed to serious cheating on his wife with a staffer and caught paying hush money to the husband, his chief of staff.

Gov. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.), confessed to serious cheating on his wife after leaving his state unsupervised for a week and now he is Congress.

Senator Larry Craig (R-ID.), caught in a gay sex sting operation in a Minn. bathroom.

Senator David Vitter (R-LA), found to have been a client of prostitutes in D.C. & Louisiana.

Rep. Mark Foley, (R-Fl.) forced to resign when he was found to be having inappropriate communications with male pages.

“…I have never supported any of these politicians any more than I would a Democrat. Not my vote and not a penny of my money. Can you say the same thing about yourself? Voted for Clinton twice, eh? Probably sent him money too…”  

That is an interesting point which, until now, I had not considered.  When perversion surfaces in a conservative… he gets sacked.  When such is exposed in a liberal, he gets a pass… re-elected. HERE is a moral comparison! Like you, MM, I give neither my vote nor my money to slime-balls. (PS: I have voted for Democrats and would do it again if I thought it in the best interest of my country, state, and/or community. And I would vote for a Democrat before I would vote for a pervert… or abstain.)
