General Powell represents the tip of the iceberg. Huge numbers of moderate Republicans--myself included--have been ethnically cleansed from the GOP by the Machiavellian corporatists and right wingnuts who hijacked it in the Reagan era.
Regardless of your opinion of either Powell or Obama--his comments on the current GOP's leadership and its vile campaign tactics ring true.
Remember Reagan's famous comment that the scariest words you can hear are "We're the government and we're here to help you."
Oh really? I didn't see the banks turning hanging up on Treasury Secretary Paulson lately.
Today's GOP has nothing in common with the GOP of Eisenhower--or General Powell. It has become profoundly corrupt.
I want a viable conservative alternative to the Democratic Party. Only a Republican rout on Nov. 4 will give us a chance of that. If you love what the Republican Party once was, pray for an Obama landslide. I'm not ga-ga over Obama. But given the actual alternatives, I find Powell's arguments convincing.
