Colonel Wilkerson
TRUTH MATTERS!
***************************************************************
Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, the former Chief of Staff to General Colin Powell, appeared on The Ed Show Friday night, where he responded to Romney surrogate John Sununu's recent remark that Powell's endorsement of the President may be based on race.
In reply, Wilkerson had strong words about the role race plays in his own party's views on the President:

"Let me just be candid: My party is full of racists. And the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as Commander in Chief and President, and everything to do with the color of his skin. And that's despicable." -- Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson

And in the spirit of honesty and bringing this nation together during our current financial crisis, I will do some truth telling of my own.
It's not easy, but I have to admit, there are a few Republicans that I like and respect.
