Since Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama, he obviously believes what Obama is doing and plans to do right?
Consider this: lefties are allowed all the leeway to say whatever they want about anything, whether harrassing, bullying, and destroying the reputations of beauty pageant contestants, and saying the most blatantly bigoted comments against those who hold conservative views, branding them as racists and any number of blatantly defamatory things. When they get into office, they brand every alternative view as "hate speech."
Among the left's enemies are people like Rush Limbaugh. Why is Powell going after him?
If moderates look at conservative policies and agree with them, they'll vote conservative. But, if our country really is left-of-center instead of right-of-center, then they'll vote for Democrats.
Republicans have to offer solid ideas and a real alternative. Rush's ideas are a real alternative to what we hear in the mainstream media. Conservatives would like to see the same of Republicans. We want to see a real alternative and a clear message versus what Democrats offer. We don't want to be part of the "collective."
The country has always had a two party system, and if Colin Powell feels that people that appreciate Rush's ideas (of whom many are Republican) are setting back the country, he belongs in a different party.
Republicans need a strong coalition to move forward, but conservatism is greatly needed in the Republican party, not a go-along-with-the-flow, RINO republicanism.
Powell can say whatever he wants, but so can Rush. It's called "freedom of speech." Mr. Powell's certainly earned it, but if he is going to tell conservatives that it is people like Rush who are setting back the party, conservatives won't be hearing it. He needs to be a Republican if he is one, or join a party where the shoe fits. That's my opinion.
