Colin Powell to Romney: 'Think'

[kpete]

WASHINGTON -- Former Secretary of State Colin Powell on Wednesday questioned Mitt Romney's choice in foreign policy advisers, saying that some are so right-wing that the advice they give deserves "second thought."

"I don't know who all of his advisers are, but I've seen some of the names and some of them are quite far to the right. And sometimes they might be in a position to make judgments or recommendations to the candidate that should get a second thought," Powell said during an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

He gave the example of Romney recently saying that Russia is the "number one geopolitical foe" to the United States.

"Come on Mitt, think," Powell said. "That isn't the case."

1. Colin should advise Rmoney

And here is the advice Colin should give his Mitt:

""Tell the people Iraq has WMD, that'll get them going....again.
Worked for my last boss""

Please, Colin, do us all a favor and get on staff!

2. That ain't how Mitt rolls

3. No room for Colin Powell in today's Republican Party.

Powell supports gay marriage, he applauds Obama's foreign policy, and he has a polite way of calling Romney and his right wing idiots who want to go back to the cold war kooks. Powell isn't going to influence many TeaPartiers but he might be able to sway the few moderate Republicans left who haven't yet lost their minds.

4. and it will have just as much effect as Aretha Franklin's quiet request

5. Oh, come on Colin, that's just cruel.

Telling someone to think who can't?

6. is Sarah Palin advising Romney on foreign policy ?

7. Fuck Colin Powell.

8. If there's a profit in it Romney will know what to do without military advisors

And we all know war is very profitable for the 1%.
