People like Powell are trying to force some sort of national TEA Party figurehead to come out with a party platform, and its not going to happen. I don't see him demanding a list of cogent political policies from the moderates.
Yes.....I see......."a loose collection of hundreds of small individual groups of people"............more like a mob than a political organization.

Why are groups of people called peaceful demonstrators when we agree with them and Mobs when we don't

As a politician, he sucks. He needs to stay at home and mow the lawn...

Thank you! He is no moderate.

We all saw him use satellite imagery to prove that Iraq had WMD's.

So, for him to vote against McCain is worse than a Rhino. He's a traitor to his party. He is not being truthful to call himself a moderate Republican. It is my opinion that it was a personal vendetta against McCain.

Powell: Iraq hiding weapons, aiding terrorists - CNN

Pressing On did you know that the sat images came from MI9, not from Cheyenne Mtn

Donna he still is a hero, I do agree that he would not be an effective elected official but his political influence and lobbying for military personnel is essential

Powell is about the only republican with a conscious and calls out the stupidity that the right does. It got him thrown under the bus by bush, but gained much respect by others.
