You mean, return to the center from the left where they currently reside?

The GOP is already left of center, so I agree with Powell, the GOP does need to move to the center, which means to the right.

I’m writing a column about strategic planning and one of the keys to establish early on is a set of guiding principles. Everything you plan to do needs to be grounded in principles or you are building a house on shifting sand.

Powell said the GOP is "getting smaller and smaller" and "that's not good for the nation." Interesting. And just WHY isn't that good for the nation?

How much more to the center can we get, after nominating McCain?
So, how have the Democrats moved to the center, or is it fine that they keep nominating extremists, and sometimes win with them?

Powell, you worry about your party, we’ll take care of ours.

Hey General!
Was that the strategy the lib’s employed after losing in 2000 and 2004?
Or did they select the Senator with the most liberal voting record?
It’s walking in the middle of the road that got us killed in the first place!

Powell should realize being a weasel is not for everyone.
To: All
And what office was Powell elected to?
Anyone who says Americans want to pay more taxes is a buffoon. Don’t you think if they REALLY wanted to pay more tax, they would have just sent it in to the IRS?

Democrats (and sneaky lying posers like Colon) know exactly what conservatives need to do... become Liberals.

I may or may not give you credit for coming up with this little gem.
Just kidding. If I get through, I'll give you full credit.

Shortly after he retired from the Army, when he was on a speaking tour and, supposedly, not running for office, I was given tickets to hear Powell speak. I was not very popular for a couple of days because two things struck me about his speech. First, he had a nasty habit of coming down squarely on both sides of most issues. Second, despite all the love he was getting from Republicans at the time, the man was clearly not a conservative.
Obviously I underestimated just how far to the left the man really was.
To: St. Louis Conservative
Powell’s endorsement of Obama gives him zero credibility when lecturing the GOP.
