the moderates in the GOP seem to want elections to be about personalities than issues. Where does Powell stand on anything? They don’t seem to care.

The after-election review that Powell wants will show that the squishy conservatism that Powell advocates gets crushed in elections. Colin, you’re part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Even Arnold Schwartzrino has the sense to realize we need a robust private sector to generate sufficient revenues to support the nanny state. Colin Powell has yet to figure that out.

They stand directly in the path of which way the polls say the wind is blowing. In otherwords, they dance for the commie controllers of MSM.

That's why they continually ignore the will of grass root Republican party members. The GOP executive ignores the membership and keeps allowing these traitors to run as Republicans. Before we can rid the party of the RINO's that are destroying it, we have to get the RINO's out of the partys executive and replace them with people with a spine willing to enforce the party rules and stop these RINO's from running under the Republican name.

That's why, when people say they aren't going to renew their membership in the party until it returns back to the principles the republican party stands for, will be waiting a long time, because they are only giving more power and control to the RINO'S instead of using the voting power and voice of their membership to clean up the party.

Sitting around and waiting for someone else to do something is how Democrats operate, not Republicans. If you want to fix the problems in the party, get involved and make noise. The membership is supposed to run the party, not the party run the membership. If we leave everything under the control of just a few RINO'S, then they will continue to run the party to the left and into the ground.

Then they'll bail like Specter to the Democrats after they've destroyed the party.
