Powell described the 2008 GOP candidate, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, as "a beloved friend"...

And to think I use to have respect for this guy when he was in the military.

Mister Powell,

Kiss my a$$... not on the right side, not on the left side, but right in the groove!

[Diogenesis]

By endorsing Obama, Powell is a Democrat (in the fashion of Specter).

[penowa]

Powell said the GOP is "getting smaller and smaller..."

And as long as people like Powell feel that they are the voice of the Republican party (while they vote Democrat) the party will continue to shrink into oblivion. Of course, that is the agenda of people like Powell.

"Americans are looking for more government in their life, not less."

Funny, just about everyone I talk to is sick of getting taxed more and more with each passing year.

But, then again, I tend to hang around productive citizens.

[Monterrosa-24]

Yep, Colin the Coward chose pigment over principle.

The one controversial stand this guy had held firm on was no open faggots in the military but with his endorsement of B.O. he threw that principle under the bus.

Why we need a third party, a truly CONSERVATIVE party!!

Generally voters break down 40-20-40. The Bush rino Republicans have long wanted that middle 20%.
Good news for them, they now are that 20%.

Good news for us as well, it leaves 40% of voters for conservatives to take and win elections.

Pew Political Typology has a number of demographic groups that make sense to me. However, if you change the demography, you change the influence of each group.

[chesley]

Well, the GOP can certainly leave us behind. And good luck to them. They’ll need it.

[bestintxas]

Just let the old fella die in obscurity.

What could have been a memorable, honorable general and statesman has degraded into a bickering, racist old fool.

Blow it out your colon, Powell!

[Electric Graffiti]

COLON powell is a RACIST DEMONCRAT who voted for a MARXIST MUSLIM KENYAN based on race. He’s none too bright.

“Return to the center and devolve into a Northeastern Gentlemen’s Club” of limited membership and great exclusion.

[BlueStateBlues]

The RINO’s are gathering at the watering hole. Give Sarah a clear view and let ‘er rip.

[meadsjn]

All these RINOs are infiltrators and saboteurs from and for the Democrat party.

They have absolutely no agreement with any conservative principles, but they have the name recognition the leftist media needs to fabricate the myth of the "moderate" Republican.

[DOGEY]

“Americans do want to pay taxes for services,” he said. “Americans are looking for more government in their life, not less.”

No, Americans think someone else will pay taxes for their services.

The one who votes for a black man because he is black

[arthurus]

We don’t need a “third party” to split the non-socialist vote. We need all the left Republicans to go where they should be most comfortable- to the Democrat Party. The popular return to the Republican Party would be tremendous and win. Alternatively a party of the Right should supplant the Republican Party as the Republicans supplanted the Whigs.

[RoadTest]

Senility is a pathetic thing to see.
