Vote for the other guy.

Nothing more bipartisan than that huh?

If it wasn't sad, it would be funny.

"Colin Powell says he's still a Republican"

I says you ain't.

[yazoo]

“but the party needs to change and be more inclusive.”

He’s absolutely right. We need to change back to what we were in the 80’s and include anyone who agrees with our principles.

[NormsRevenge]

Even Newt waffled on this one on Meet The Perps.. coming down on Powell’s side all the while not wanting to pick a fight with Cheney. surprise surprise.

Good Luck, GoP. You’re gonna need it.

Take your tent poles and shove ‘em where the sun . uhhh.. never mind.

"Powell describes himself as having a long, solid record of voting for Republicans. But he says he did vote for Democrats John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter. "

And 0zer0. Powell don't know the GOP.

[4Speed]

We would LOVE to include people that voted Democratic last election to vote Republican in 2010, but not “Democrats” that “Endorse” the Opponent and ask Republicans to vote Democratic.

That would be like Colin Powell, Stupid.

From CBS.com: “I am still a Republican. I’d like to point out that in the course of my 50 years of voting for presidents, I have voted for the person i thought was best qualified at that time to lead the nation. Last year I thought it was President-now Barack Obama,” Powell said.

Powell also addressed criticism from conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, saying his assertion that Powell only voted for President Obama because “he is black” was “unfortunate.”

[MAD-AS-HELL]

I love it how this douchebag continues to go and say the SAME thing and deride the party yet hasn’t lifted a finger or stated in any clear concise way of how he’d would change it. And yet no one in the media is calling him on his non informative canned responses.

[4rcane]

wasn’t mccain inclusive enough for powell?

'he endorsed Democrat Barack Obama over Republican John McCain for president because he thought Obama was the better blacker candidate'

There fixed that for ya.

[Travis McGee]

That no-combat affirmative action RINO is still a Republican? Didn’t he endorse socialist Obama over veteran and POW McCain?

[Will88]

Powell is a moderate Republican who says he endorsed Democrat Barack Obama over Republican John McCain for president because he thought Obama was the better candidate.

Did they bother to ask Powell why he thought Obama was the better candidate? Quite a sweeping statement to be left with no elaboration and no follow up questions. But typical of our non-investigative, non-curious, in-the-tank for Obama MSM.

Stop lying Powell, you voted for Obama 100% due to skin tone. If Powell is a Republican, then so is Jesse Jackson.

[wolfpat]

Powell says that by moving to the right, the GOP risks losing right-of-center Republicans to Democratic and independent parties.

Wrong.

If the Republicans moved to the right, they would give voters a clear choice based on principle. The choice now seems to be between socialism and mostly socialism. Why even drink decaffeinated coffee, lite beer, or skim milk if you can have the real thing?

[Signalman]

Powell’s vision of the Republican Party is essentially a moderate version (just slightly left) of the Democratic Party. So what’s the point? Why even have two parties? Just combine them and be done with all the pretense.

Call the new party, the “Republicrats” or the “Demicans”.

[Reagan Man]

Ronald Reagan thought enough of Colin Powell to make him his National Security Adviser. Bush41 promoted Powell to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And Bush43 made Powell Sec of State.

In 2008 Powell repaid the GOP by supporting, promoting, endorsing and then voting for, the liberal-socialist, Barack Obama.

End of story. Powell can go to hell!

[Natural Law]

Powell is actively co-opting the party in a cooperative move with Obama since he is so desperately and persistently reinforcing his Republican bona fides in direct contradiction to his actions. At a minimum, he is trying to redefine the center of the party in order to paint RUSH and conservatives as extremists.

[unique]

inclusive? Has he stated what that means? Has anyone asked him what that means? The answer would be very telling.

[Psycho_Bunny]

I can’t believe I used to respect that guy. What a bozo.

[Mr. Mojo]

How much more “inclusive”/liberal can the GOP get? During the past 8 years they’ve supported huge bailouts (that got the bailout ball a-rollin’), keeping the borders porous, a massive prescription drug benefit program, the adding of thousands of new bureaucrats into the Fedgov, tossing tens of billions of dollars down the sinkhole of Africa (ostensibly to “fight AIDS’), the continued nationalization of education. ...for starters. What else does Powell want the GOP to do?
