Time for another round of increasingly tedious GOP big tent/small tent navel-gazing, this time with moderates on the offensive. Powell’s point about Limbaugh not being above criticism is fair enough but I don’t know what he expects from big shots like Steele who’ve been forced to grovel to him. As the GOP shrinks, it relies more heavily on the base for fundraising; the base adores Rush, so as a matter of simple politics, party leaders can’t afford to take him on. It’ll necessarily fall to moderates like Powell who are outside the process and have nothing to lose by antagonizing El Rushbo to push back. If the Republican brain trust is hot to expand the party, Cornyn’s strategy of tempting independents by running some moderates for Senate is probably their best play right now. The public backlash to Hopenchange’s ruinous spending should take care of the rest, if and when it happens. It will happen, right? Right?

Exactly on which issue, Colin ?
Just saying it's so, doesn't make it so.
Someone should ask this poser why he voted for the most liberal candidate to ever run for Presidential office?
How is it that the rats run the most liberal senator in the senate, but expect Republicans to become rat-lite? Because marxists want one-party rule? That’s what I think.
What an ego.
Only the media cares.
Disgusting. How, pray tell, was Obama better than McCain. Not that McCain was great but you have to be deeply deluded to even claim that Obama was better on any issue. Let’s face it, colon, you voted for Obama because he was black.
somehow, I think that if you dig just a little bit the names Powell and Soros will intersect.
IMO Powell is nothing but just another racist RINO.
So, you’re a Republican, ehh Powell?
Yeah, and Joan of Arc played 2nd base for the Cleveland Indians...
You’re a RINO, General. And politicaklly speaking, you are not worth listening to by the RNC or it’s members.
How can a marriage be man/man or woman/woman?
The left has been redefining things and institutions they want to destroy.
The RINO plague is nothing short of a long standing systematic infiltration of the party in opposition to the RATs. They know three parties will not work for the conservatives and what better way to split the Republicans than make them unpalatable to the conservatives.
McCain, Powell, Ridge, Voinovich, Snowe, there are many of them. They belong with the RATS, but have taken to our party.
What makes me sick is Colin Powell said he voted for Obama because he was the most qualified.
What bunk. He knows better.
Does Powell ever get around to actually telling us his positions?
“Does CNN have to wear a condom when covering 0bama or do they carry one, “just in case”?”
they don’t care either way - they already have aids and if they get pregnant, you and I will pay for the abotion at the freak linic...
