Vote for the other guy.

Nothing more bipartisan than that huh?

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

Sounds like Colon Powell is lonely so high up in the
fecal, rectal space of Obama and his corrupt socialist,
Marxist, proterrorist Democrats. That is where Powell
crawled, away from the GOP in its greatest time of need.

Powell has no right to say anything about what the GOP should or shouldn't do. He backed Obama. He more likely than not voted for Obama.

Powell needs to change to the Demcrap party, where he belongs.

The Republican Party could be more inclusive if more minorities and gays could bring themselves to act more out of principle than self-interest, love of country rather than love of self, idealism rather than self-centeredness.

Sorry, that's just how I see it. I know that they have it in them but I fear only pain brought on by economic calamity or military attack will finally wake them up.

Powell: The party must be more inclusive so we need to get rid of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hanity and the rest of the non moderates

Does anyone else see the hypocricy in his logic?

Powell claims he is a Republican, and yet he supported and voted for a Democrat that is more radical and more abortion-friendly than any U.S. President before him.

I would love to ask Colon Powell one question - “Can you name ANY republican you would vote for over Barack Obama?”

If the answer is no, then he is not even CLOSE to being a republican! Hells bells, HILLARY is closer to the GOP than Obama!

He's a convenient republican.
Just like chafee and arlen and let's not forget good old jeffords...
Like bloomberg is a republican...
He couldn't get any where being a democrat, so he wears his mask.

"...the party needs to change and be more inclusive. "

I wish just one of these RINO turkeys would furnish a list of just what we are EXclusive of?

What - in their liberal minds - do we not include that ruffles their feathers?

It's like Ann Coulter said, "If democrats had any brains, they'd be republicans". If we "inclusive" of the things that colon Powell and commiebama are embracing and promoting, WE WOULDN'T BE REPUBLICAN OR CONSERVATIVE, WE'D BE DEMOCRATS.

I guess this plastic general means we have to do the following to be "more inclusive":

1 - Vow alligence to obama
2 - Support abortion
3 - Disavow our religion
4 - Forget content of character, just vote for color
5 - Ban Guns
6 - Raise Taxes
7 - Forget the Constitution
8 - Honor Jimmy Carter
9 - Support Socialism
10 - Illegal Alien Amnesty
11 - Disavow Israel
12 - Support ACORN
13 - Villify and destroy George Bush
14 - Go Totally Green

Who knows what else...

Colon Powell speaks for no one except Colon Powell. He has lost his honor.

I think the republican party should include folks who a want smaller, less intrusive government, folks who want lower taxes, folks who love this country and folks who love the constitution - that’d be a good bunch to let into the party.

“Powell: In GOP, says party must be more inclusive”

Does that mean including those that vote for candidates based only on the color of their skin?

Powell is a ROTSO - Republican On Talk Shows Only. He gets to slam his (so-called) own party without debate. And then live his real life as a liberal.

He slammed Limbaugh, Cheney and Republicans. He praised Obama, Specter and Dems. But he’s a republican.

What a joke.

Powell has played the Repubicans like a fiddle for over 20 years.

Despite being pro-choice, our party still entertained thoughts he was this nearly perfect Republican candidate. The Presidency was his if he chose to run. He played cute with Republicans when was considering running for President, but then said he was scared of getting assasinated, no doubt in his mind by a crazed, racist, right wing Republican.

When he chose Obama over his good buddy RINO McCain, that proved once and for all he’s not a conservative. He’s been a Republican imposter his whole career. I bet he gets along very well with Arlen Specter.

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.

Black first; Republican second; military a distant third.

I had thought better--MUCH better--of Powell, at one time. Then he was replaced as SOS....

McCain was the “dream” candidate for liberal Republicans. If he was not liberal enough then the republican party is NOT FOR YOU.
If the Marxist Socialist Democrat, B. OBAMA was more to your liking then the left wing of the Democratic party is for you.

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.

Except what he said on his vaunted, set up MTP moment with Tom Brokaw, he was voting for 0bama specifically because McCain and the GOP were getting "narrower", he griped about Ayres, claiming it was inappropriate to link him to 0bama, only to have 0bama and Ayres later admit they'd been lying about their relationship. He also said a reason was Palin wasn't "ready to be president." (I'll bet she wouldn't vomit out TS info, let the world know where the secret bunker is, violate the law as Biden has). Apparently Powell seems to believe that the rest of us are as gullible and naive as the Washington Elite.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says he's still a Republican, but the party needs to change and be more inclusive.

This charge is one I've yet to have anyone prove or defend -- just who is it that is/has not been allowed to register and vote as a member of the GOP? What citizen has been denied his entry into the Republican Party based on this *litmus test* these non-conservative, won't uphold the principles of less government folks keep bleating about??

Beck had a graphic on his tv show last week, it's not only the GOP who is losing membership. But I won't hold my breath waiting for the lamestream to point out the Dems are losing people in droves as well. These people are paying no attention whatever to what is going on in America, but then, that is due to their wearing glasses with the mirrors on the inside of the lenses.
