Powell is a RINO.
If he was a RINO he would have supported McCain. He supported Obama. That either makes him a democrat or a racist.
To be a RINO you need to be a Republican. When you endorse, fight for the Democrat nominee for President because of his skin color, you are not a Republican. You are a simple racist and have no place in the Republican Party
One of those very rare black RINOs.
Colin Powell is not a RINO he is a Democrat.
Only a Democrat would vote for Barrack Obama for president given his history of siding with racist, black separatists, friendships with domestic terrorists, only real work experience being a ‘community organizer’.
Powell is a Democrat. End of Story.
Apparently so. In any case, I’m enjoying watching the RINO moderates having to finally take their masks off. Makes my argument that the RINO-led GOP is nothing more than a demrat controlled organization easier to defend.
The GOP has not really been a credible opposition party to the Demrat Party since Reagan. There is no second oppostion party in America today. It remains to be seen whether constitutionalists (like me) can regain control of the GOP or be forced to organize a new (second) opposition party.
Oh, and to those of you who insist that a new party cannot be formed and win—eventually—please explain how the communists have succeeded in coopting the Demrat and Pubbie Parties, the country’s public schools, the media, Christian and Jewish faiths and the unions? I would never have thought that possible, let alone the election of a communist for president.
Anything can be achieved by planning, determination and hard work. That’s how the commies pulled off their coup.
And too many of us sat on our fat butts and paid no attention. We were too busy being super moms, super dads and/or whatever, Too many of us did and are out-sourcing the rearing of our children to the public schools system. Apparently we’re even too busy to raise our own kids.
It's even worse than that -- he's a RINO-in-name-only.
Cheers!
He openly supported a candidate for President who is a closet Muslim, a man whose birth credentials have been blocked from public scrutiny, and a man who is a socialist Democrat with intimate ties to the most corrupt political machine in America and a racist church.
The only criterion that Powell had a hook to hang his hat on was the issue of race - that he supported Obama because he was black. That would make Powell a racist in addition to being a Quisling.
As for Gingrich’s assertion that the GOP should not restrict its circle of elected officials and policy setters on the basis of political philosophy - that is patently absurd. The libs HAVE a liberal party - the Democrats. The OVERWHELMING majority of Republican rank and filers are CONSERVATIVES which is why they are not DEMCRATS. They have a RIGHT to expect that the people they nominate to office reflect THEIR political values not those of the opposition party.
FURTHERMORE. most Americans today STILL are closer to CONSERVATIVE political ideals than liberal ones, DESPITE the damage inflicted by an eight year reign of power by a closet liberal posing as a Republican and a Congress controlled for the most part by a gutless Republican leadership.
Gingrich should go take a hike and take his two new buddies Powell and Ridge (The Meathead) with him.
