Liberal candidate receives endorsement of another liberal social activist.
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who finally made the announcement that has been expected for months, is well known for his willingness to support liberal causes. He is pro-choice regarding abortion, and in favor of “reasonable” gun control. He has stated that he supports affirmative action that levels the playing field. Powell was also instrumental in the implementation of the military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy.
What took him so long? Yawn.
On the other hand, here’s an endorsement that means something: A Harvard trial lawyer for McCain.
I think the only reason Powell claimed to be a republican was that who was in power at the time and he was trying to get a job. His past stances for conservatives have been less than sincere.
