Colin Powell Responds to Rush Limbaugh; Says GOP Leaders Afraid of Rush - Video 7/28/09
Here is video of Colin Powell tonight on Larry King Live responding to comments by Rush Limbaugh recently and saying he thinks Republican leaders are afraid of Rush Limbaugh because of the strong base of support he has in the GOP. Powell said he gets to decide which party he is in whether Rush Limbaugh thinks he should be in the GOP or not.
Colin Powell can call himself a Republican, but he has forfeited his opportunity to be a leading voice in the Republican Party. He calls himself a "moderate" in the GOP, and last year the GOP ran a very moderate candidate in John McCain. McCain is a veteran with heroic service in Vietnam, strong on defense -- in other words, the perfect candidate for Colin Powell. Yet, Powell threw him over the side and endorsed a flaming liberal Democrat in Barack Obama. Colin Powell is the only one who considers himself to be a Republican.

republicans need to figure out that the flag of hatred/bigotry isn't going return the GOP to a national party again. It's just a matter of math.
