The Bradley effect, often touted by the MSM as a threat to an 0bama win in the Presidential race against McCain was in vivid display but take to a new level by colon Powell on MTP today. What is the "Bradley Effect" but a theory used to explain why Mayor Tom Bradley in 1982 lost in the California Gubernatorial election to Republican candidate George Deukmejian, who is white when Bradley was leading in all the polls immediately prior to the election. These alleged discrepancies between voter opinion polls and election outcomes in American political campaigns point to overt racism in America by its proponents when a white candidate and a non-white candidate run against each other. Additionally the Bradley effect refers to an alleged tendency on the part of some voters to tell pollsters that they are undecided or likely to vote for a black candidate but then on election day, vote for his/her white opponent. THE MSM is floating this tactic now in the midst of the 0bama-McCain Presidential race in the hopes of tapping into WHITE GUILT complex that Liberals are subject too and hope to provoke this same guilt in the American Electorate. Maybe the real reason why Bradley lost was because the Pollsters over polled Democrats? The theory of the Bradley effect 2.0 is now being proposed in this post. Colon Powell just over a month ago while on an MSNBC panel with Madeleine Albright, James Baker Warren Christopher, and Henry Kissinger --
Powell and the panel were asked by a student whether they thought America electing Obama president would send a more powerful image overseas than John McCain.said in response to a question about a President 0bama
Albright followed up and got a huge round of applause from the college audience for her presidential choice. “I think it would send a huge message in terms of what America stands for and in terms of diversity and potential. And I, of course, am supporting Sen. Obama,” she said.
-
Then came Powell. “[T]o send that kind of a message, I think would be electrifying,” he said, “but at the same time, we have to make a judgment here ... which of the candidates blends a right measure of experience and judgment? I have been watching both of these individuals, and I know them both extremely well and I have not decided who I’m going to vote for yet"
The answer shows how pathetic Colon Powell is when it means standing up for values. The irony is that 0bama's policies will kill more babies especially African-American ones(which Colon is so supportive of?...) and his socialist instincts will drive the economy over the cliff and the UN pandering will weaken America's strength in a dangerous world. Obviously the pejorative of a "Bradley Effect" does not apply in reverse when practiced overtly by African-Americans. Too bad but it is not Cognitive Dissonance but reverse racism.
This is the Bradley Effect 2.0 where Prominent African-Americans vote for an African-American Presidential Candidate and their apparent Cognitive Dissonance as they rationalize their reasons is any but an intellectual dissonance but rather a reverse racism and voting for one on the basis of skin color alone and the hue that most matches their own. Mr. Powell you owe so much to the Republican Party and what it stands for especially given the fact that you are the son of Jamaican immigrants, came up through the ROTC and reached a pinnacle higher than any other African-American before Condi Rice(an African-America Republican women) because you were supported by Presidents Reagan and both President Bush 41 and 43. Additionally your son, Michael Powell was appointed by President Bush 43 to head the FCC and now you flake on the Republican Party whose values have given you so much fame, fortune and power. Indeed you are a POW! of Colonoscopic Proportions...a Cancerous Polyp in the Bowels of the Body Politic of America metastized to the belly of the GOP. Shame on you Mr. POW for you have shown your real colors...you are an African-American NAACP HACK!
Indeed Powell is a phony who chose to suckle off of the magnanimity of the Republican party who gave birth to the Politics of the great African-American Emancipator and President Abraham Lincoln. President Lincoln commited the lives of ~500,000 White Americans to free African-American Slave! The Republican Party passed the laws and admendments of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's while Democrats held out against them. Mr. Powell you are an intellectually dishonest man who used the GOP for your own personal gain. The Blood of the ~1500 African-American babies killed daily and whose number will increase under a Bi-racial 1/2 White-1/2 Black President Barack Hussein 0bama will now be applied to Mr. Powell's Eternal Debt should his candidate win(unlike business your so called"Pottery Barn Rule applies"- 'You Break it You Buy It'!
Nice Resume COLON Powell for the Judgement Day espeically since you brought up the issue of 0bama's Christianity which I presume you suscribe too!
