Yeah, with all this ''deflection'' and the ''it ain't me, so it can't be true'' excuses, isn't this thread really just a perfect example of what Powell's talking about (and how it persists in both the GOP, and the South)...?
Powell has always been a moderate Republican. As the party has become further and further right and more extreme it chases those moderates away regardless of race.
Correct, and as 2012 and 2008 showed, as the smallest voting block behind Dems and independents, this radical right fascination with labeling minor variations RINOs is cutting ones nose off to spite ones face.
One week from today, they can see the fruits of their labor..the 1/20 inaugeration.
The GOP has not truly been beaten on a national level. It committed suicide.
Powell has always had Palin's number--as a provincial, ignorant hick.
Oh, so we are going to bring Sarah Palin into this now, are we? Rich.
Palin isn't a "hick" nor is she ignorant. But, we aren't going to begin a new defense of Palin. No defense is needed. Nice try at deflection.
Powell is just an ass. What more can be said? He is a "has been." Maybe he had some military successes (I have forgotten what made him "great." Was he?) Who is Colin Powell?
And this is part of the reason the GOP has so much trouble with minorities......
We don't have "trouble with minorites." Only in the minds of liberals, who ignore the minority Republicans who have made significant contributions to the Conservative cause. And there are many. But you people pretend they don't exist. That is your problem. Not ours.

You couldn't be more wrong. Why wont Palin leave and form her on party?
And once again Colin Powell only speaks up after any possibility of it hurting his career are long past.
Exactly!
