Obama courting Olympia Snowe again

drobamasteinAs Democrats continue to slander Joe Lieberman and his wife, and as Ben Nelson is waiting to whore himself for the highest bid, Obama has yet again turned his attention to Olympia Snowe (a so called Republican). According to the New York Times, Snowe attended a meeting at the White House for roughly 80 to 90 minutes on Thursday, a good portion of it one-on-one with Obama. Later, Snowe and Obama had a half-hour follow-up call.

Colin Powell is so disgusted at the Republican party, he will remain a Republican

And vote democrat, as long as Obama is in office.  If you want to know what a RINO is (Republican in Name Only), you can look at someone like John McCain, the weakest canidate the GOP has run for President in decades. Others, like Arlen Specter, Olympia Snowe, etc don’t even deserve the tag of being called a RINO. Colin Powell, whom I used to have the utmost respect for, and wanted him to run for President years ago is now in the Arlen Specter class as far as I’m concerned. Powell, who was on  “Face the Nation” today touted his Republican credentials and urged his party to be more moderate and inclusive. As we all know, the Republicans who have been more moderate, such as John McCain have done so well. I would think someone like Colin Powell would quit being a coward already and just admit he supports Obama based on race alone.  More from Fox News:

“Rush will not get his wish and Mr. Cheney was misinformed. I am still a Republican,” Powell said, noting that he “voted solidly for Republican candidates” for president for 20 years, spent 10 years of his life serving in Republican administrations and spoke at two GOP conventions.

“You know, neither (Cheney) nor Rush Limbaugh are members of the membership committee of the Republican Party. I get to make my decision on that,” Powell said. “And so I will continue to work in a way that I think is helpful to the country and helpful to the party.”

He said the reason he endorsed Barack Obama for president last fall — a decision that prompted a wave of conservative discontent with Powell — was he believed Obama was “best-qualified” to lead.

Oh BTW, how smart is Colin Powell? He claims to have voted for Lyndon Johnson AND Jimmy Carter. (Unless he confused Obama with the Peanut farmer).
