If I say anything at all that isn't a shining beam of light on the head of McCain, you just dismiss it because it has no "value". You being so one sided, even so much as to say that Powell backs Obama simply because he is black makes you a 'flametard' in your own anti-flametard thread.

i dont agree with you on this. I think if we put Powell in a lie detector and asked him if his new allegiance with Obama has to do with skin color, he would say NO and the detector would say he did not lie.
However as humans we cannot control our biased brains, regardless of how hard we try, most of us are more comfortable with people who are more similar to looks and behavior similar to ourselves. It is probably a subconscious thing.
