According to Sky News (Which is probably the biggest news channel in the UK) . Powell has been friends with McCain for 25 years but denies the change is race related.

 

 Biggest news channel in the UK? Are you having a laugh? That crown undoubtly goes to BBC News. And, thankfully, that ain't Rupert Murdoch shit, either.

^ Yes, BBC News is not only the largest in the UK, they are the largest in the world. They are followed by CNN.

 Well, that's the Brits for ya, always the best



Its just because women with British accents are so hot...



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

@akuma587 - That's just one of our many pros.

I said probably as opposed to definetley , not that it makes much difference to the actual thread.

It is, at the very least, mildly surprising. I believe Powell donated money to McCain's campaign in late 07 or early 08. 

ok, a little suprising. But if he donated mccain money in 07 it was before Obama was looking like the likely Nominee.

Basically, Powell did not leave bush with good terms, Powell is black (I am not saying that is the whole reason, but I am sure it played a major part)

 

 

Powell is Jaimaican. I did a report on him in 4th grade. You may want to double-check your facts.
