True. Colin Powell is the only respectable person of the Bush crowd. If for nothing else, then for still being ashamed of the show he had to pull off at the UN.
Bush Sr, well he is a human, I might defend my child too, but even he tried to cop out to his son being mislead by Cheney and the rest. Even Bush Sr knew Jrs Iraq war was a lie.
I still wouldn't like Powell's economics, but just like McCain did with that woman when she called Obama a Muslim, not that there is a law preventing a Muslim from running for office, but even he stopped her in her tracks.
I think Powell and even Reagan, while their economics views sucked, I think they had good intent. I think far too many people simply took advantage of them.
