There are people within the repub party that I really like, like Hagel for his stance on Iraq, or recently congressman Darryl Issa who was sitting with D. Kucinich on the economic committee grilling Treasury and various parties with their hands out. Outstanding people, but then that highly narrow ignorant parochial social view of how we should be forced to live in the United States! I can’t back these guys over these issues, I’m sorry! Nixon was more socially liberal than these guys. The religious *hit they are trying to stuff down my throat just makes me sick! Powell has the right idea, and I hope the party dis-aligns itself from the holy rollers one day soon.

By the way, I think Palin will fade off into the distance LOOONG before the next election. She shouldn’t still be taking up soundbites even now.

The Southern White Party is so screwed. Demographics alone doomed them, but it seems that they’ve decided to shoot themselves just to make sure.

Yeah, small town values. There’s a winner when probably 80% of the voters live in cities and suburbs. They’ve lost minorities completely and now they are working hard to lose suburbanites, young people and educated whites.

Ya’ll come back now, y’hear?

Good stuff. I especially like what he said toward the end of the clip about unhelpful cliches like “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.” That’s very unusual to hear something like that from a Republican. Of course, Colin Powell is not your typical Republican.
