And you have just pointed out the current Republican Party's greatest fault. They will not listen to the moderates but will listen to the far right. The far right is a marginalized part of the party which has siezed control. As long as the far right will not work with moderates like Powell, they will never have the votes to win a national election again.

Well maybe he does!
I can tell you one thing though; Limbaugh, Cheney and others in the GOP, must be Rhinos (RINO) who help and know what’s best for the Democratic Party.
These individuals will not only guarantee Democratic victories in the next elections, but will increase the Democrats numbers in all elections that take place in the United States and its Territories.
I can assure you, these people are a major frustration to the Republican Party as we speak.

Any philosopher will tell you that the truth is the truth no matter who speaks it. Folks here need to deal with the accuracy of a statement and not who posts it.
In another thread a few minutes ago, I mentioned that I often hear about the "liberal media" from Republicans. Today someone told me that the reason Obama was elected was because (a) he's Black and (b) the media adores him
Although a and b are both 1/2 true I asked why 43 other elections didn't produce a Black president. Is the media brand new? How did Ford, Reagan and Bush 41 & 43 get elected if it's the media that elects presidents and it's always liberal?
Getting back to the topic, the only "issues" I see the Republicans working on are how to stop anything Obama proposes and maliciously criticize anything he says.
Thanks for illustrating how some of these folks apparently do not think out their arguments to their logical conclusion.
This mentality permeates deeply into the the strata of the right side of the aisle, which became exceptionally apparent to me when I read that "socialism" report, which reads as if it were written by a rank amateur(s).
More dealing with the issues! Remember Bush kept flitting off to Camp David or his Texas compound? What does the RNC criticize? The president taking his wife out to dinner and a play!
"The White House declined to say how much the trip was costing taxpayers, and even before the smaller jet left Washington, the there-and-back trip drew criticism from the Republican National Committee. The RNC issued a news release that chastised Obama for saying he understands American's troubles, but then hopping up to New York for "a night on the town."
Noting that General Motors is expected to file for Chapter 11 protection on Monday, the news release said: "Putting on a show: Obamas wing into the city for an evening out while another iconic American company prepares for bankruptcy."

According to an August 2003 article in the Washington Post, President Bush has spent all or part of 166 days during his presidency at his Crawford, Texas, ranch or en route. Add the time spent at or en route to the presidential retreat of Camp David and at the Bush family estate in Kennebunkport, Maine, and Bush has taken 250 days off as of August 2003. That's 27% of his presidency spent on vacation. Although to be fair, much of this time is classified as a "working vacation."
Jimmy Carter took the least days off -- only 79 days, which he usually spent at his home in Georgia. That's less than three weeks a year, which is closer to the average American's paid time off of 13 days per year.

That's what the Democratic Socialists of America said too, lol.
