This is not the first time Powell has urged the GOP to become more liberal.
This is why Bush ticked me off for the last eight years. He wasn’t a real conservative and now to be “in the middle” is to be conservative.
Powell served a long and honorable career in the military and a tour as Secretary of State. These are traditionally non partisan or political endeavors. Powell has never ran for political office nor has he been a political activist. How with a minimal or next to nothing party involvement he could be considered some kind of authority on what a party should stand for is bewildering to say the least. Eisenhower was a career military man. He only became a Republican because that was the party that was willing to nominate him for President. He was not however any kind of a spokesman for party values.
If you believe that, Colin, then why don’t you try out your theory and go to a liberal Congressional district and then run for office? Maybe you could try to unseat Charlie Rangel. Or Chris Dodd (if you want to shoot for Senate, out of the box).
Nah, you’ll never do that.
Because you know your liberal, cocktail party circuit limousine liberal buddies that have been feeding you this garbage will throw you under the bus so fast your head will swim.
It’s much easier to sit and whine than actually do something about it.
Powell has been supplanted as the poster boy for affirmative action by 0. Now he’s brown-nosing 0. Either senility has set in, or his being nominally Repub was just another cloak he wore to get ahead. Remember, the Repub nomination for Pres was his for the asking - all he had to do was to run against Bubba in ‘96. He declined ostensibly because of his wife’s poor health (and she WAS in poor health).
Colon Powell as a Democrat is a walking redundancy, and irrelevant to boot. Just another smart looking Black Democrat; only one who used to be a mouthpiece for the hated Bush. .. He might as well retire in Jamaica.

Biden clearly to be replaced on the 2012 Democrat ticket. Auditioning?
Hispanics Blacks and Asians? What about Europeans? Google Immigration Reform Act of 1965 and read Ted Kennedys diatribe on how this act will not change the demographics of our Country,tell me these commie Bastards our not responsible for the Destruction of our Country
The party of Colin Powell? Why should we care about the Democrat party?
Since Powell has no values he is suggesting that hispanics, asians and other minorities have no values.
Interesting slur.

Following Colin Powell.......last I checked Powell supported Obama and still supports Obama. Powell betrayed his party. Powell is a lib through and through and got where he was thanks to the pubbies and affirmative action. We’re on the right track just sticking with our beliefs and principles, especially when the Boston Globe gives the GOP advice.
If Colon Powell believes I want to pay higher taxes, and want more government in my life , he is as crazy as a loon.
His mental faculties have left him.
Why would any American want to pay higher taxes to have it handed to illegals , and the people (40% it’s said) who dont pay any taxes?
Damn Colon what the hell are you talking about?
As for sucking up Colon has made a career of being a Stepenfetchit black man, a true Uncle Tom who now is changing his spots because We is in Charge now.
Blacks had him pegged years ago, now we are waking up to him.
The Boston Glob? Are they still publishing that rag?
