Conservatives Beware — Lest You Drive Moderates to Extremism!
Pajamas Media ^ | June 10 | Frank J. Fleming

Luckily, the Republicans have a friend like Colin Powell to prevent the destructive influence of conservatives and their beliefs. Powell is the ultimate moderate. When his party nominated a squishy moderate for president last year that the base had to hold its nose to vote for, he still voted for the other party. Now that is a moderate we can all learn from. He knows exactly what the American people want: two parties virtually indistinguishable from each other. That way if people ever begin to dislike one party, they can just vote for the other as a protest without having to worry about it differing from their values.

Eventually, people are going to dislike the Democrats — maybe thinking they’re going too far on spending (or not far enough) — and then Powell’s Republican Party will be waiting there as a completely innocuous alternative.

Conservatives could not see this simple wisdom, though. Rush Limbaugh (or “Fatty Fat Fat Stupid Druggy Fat Fat,” as I like to call him) had to pick a fight with Powell. His firm stances on issues scare away moderates like light startles cockroaches (cockroaches who often vote, mind you). All Rush did was point out the differences conservatives have with Powell — like how he supported Obama, is pro-choice, and is for bigger government. If Rush (who is fat and does drugs) had any actual concern for the party, he’d focus on...

I almost posted this earlier, but didn’t want to deal with the few people who won’t recognize the tongue-in-cheek humor.
You’re a braver man than I. ;o)

Frank J. is great.
He’s just a bit more subtle than most.

John Jackson: "It's time someone had the courage to stand up and say: I'm against those things that everybody hates!"
Jack Johnson: "Now, I respect my opponent. I think he's a good man. But quite frankly, I agree with everything he just said."

RINOs/moderates are a plague on the Republican Party. CONSERVATISM is based on our founding principles. RINOs/moderates sabotage the fight for our individual liberties.

Right!

Powell is a centrist ... Democrat. He wears the Republican skin to gain something, what I really don’t know. He is like so many other RINO’s.

I’m really not impressed with his ‘Republican’ credentials.
