Right, as a Senator for how long? I probably have had left-overs in our fridge longer than that!! :lol: :P
 
My old man would take issue with time limits of "honor."

Tousi,

Actually, in the case of Colin Powell, his first name is pronounced the same as the word "colon."

Ok, I will amend that by removing "very different"; the two are not pronounced quite the same way.

Every time I hear his name it's pronounced "kawl-in"; the body part is pronounced "ko-len", with a long o.

Reba,

Thanks for pointing that out. :ty: I guess my hearing isn't sharp enough for me to be able to hear the difference. To me, they both sound the same. :dunno:

Colin, with the emphasis on an actual body part, has held several employment positions with Republicans. The GOP has been his bread and butter. Many members of the GOP have done a lot of work for Colin and this shows how thankful he is for all their work.

Actually....it's the other way around. :lol:

Many Republicans would've like to see him run for President than John McSame.

It's also possible that the person speaking was mispronouncing his name. :)

Why would Republicans want another liberal to run for President?

That's true. Yesterday I was watching CNN and could have sworn one of their political pundents pronounced his name as "colon."

Powell is identified as a liberal-moderate Republican and that has more appeal than McCain.

As an independent voter--If Powell was running--he would've gotten my vote.

I'm an independent voter too, but I would prefer to vote for a conservative, if one is available.
