Okay I got to say something here, ordinarily I agree 98% of the stuff on this site, but I cross the line at Rush. He is a despicable rascist just read these wonderful tidbits.

I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark

You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.

They’re 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?

Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.

Powell donated the maximum to McCain's campaign, and only switched sides when Palin was brought on to "rally the base", when he could have picked Kay Bailey Hutchinson or Mike Huckabee for a similiar (if not smarter) alternative.

My family has been voting republican sine the 1950's and we've never been ashamed of it until now. I miss dynamic Eisenhower and Nixon conserativism and hate the fact that my party has been overtaken by morons and bigots. I still have my beliefs, but rather than giving my vote to a party that's lost it's way, I decided to take the crappy second option and vote for Bob Barr.

Woops sorry double click

It was so silly that you had to say it twice.

I find it tiresome when those who do not think like most conservatives are trying to steal my party away from me. It is the squishy moderates or rinos that have stolen my Reaganite party from me. You like Powell, the moderate, who does not like Palin. You don't like Palin, either.
Well, I do and so do most conservatives. If you want moderation, make a new party. Stop trying to pull my party to the middle or really to the left.

I am a free market capitalist, an anti communist, an America firster who is no fan of the U.N. or the world court, but prefers American sovereignty. I am tired of morality being up for grabs with no moral absolutes.
I want Republicans to come home and be more conservative otherwise we will always lose to the left.

I'm an avid listener of Rush Limbaugh and can tell you categorically that what dejavu32 posted is absolute bullshit.

He's never posted a single comment here before and then he comes in with this crap that's been posted in comments sections on web sites all over the net.

Sorry dude, you're full of shit.

Ditto, Henry.

And Rush has replied to Powell on his website. Rush is brilliant. That's what drives his critics and enemies beserk.

Powell didn't betray the Republicans; he just used them. When that gig stopped being sufficiently "rewarding," he figured he'd sell his wares elsewhere.

I'm a Democrat so I won't refrain from getting in your fight.

But, asombra, this guy Powell is a heroe of this country. Maybe he is not selling anything, he is just saying what he thinks.

I can feel a little Limbaughism in how you guys responded to dejavu32. I think --like Powell-- that that is what is wrong with the Republicans. You think otherwise. Time will tell.

oops! I meant "I will refrain" not "I won't refrain"

Eduardo,

How exactly did I respond to dejavu32? By challenging his assertion as bullshit? Let's hear the audio of Limbaugh saying those things. You can't produce them because he didn't say them. How many minutes of your life have spent listening to Limbaugh? Many liberals hate the man and have never listened to him. They simply assume that he represents every negative stereotype they have about conservatives. What Ed Morrissey said is spot on.

The GOP nominated a moderate, not an ideologue. The Democrats nominated an ideologue. Powell endorsed the liberal ideologue while Limbaugh supported the moderate. That's indisputable.

Powell served our nation honorably. But as a self-proclaimed Republican he is a turncoat. Period.
