Your insult aside, the comments of both Cheney and Limbaugh clearly look like attemps to push Powell out of the party (which is what I said), or is this just the way that Repubs bond with fellow Repubs?
I guess it must be since Powell endorsed and voted for Obama. What's your point?
My point is that the Repubs are purging themselves of any moderate voices. They have become shrill, unhinged and completely predictable in their anger at the rejection by the American voters.
Repubs need to rid themselves of the rabid right or risk becomeing irrelevant for the forseeable future.
The demographic shifts which propelled Obama are undeniable, young people (the future) have embraced the Democratic party.
So long Repubs.
The problem with the republicans is not that they are too far right. The fact is that they are more just right of center. The problem with the republicans came with Bush...he wasn't a true conservative republican. He was liberal in on some issues, and conservative on others. If you think for one minute that mainstream America is in the tank for liberalism...your grossly mistaken.
If the media hadn't elected John McCain in the primary, and a true conservative had won the primary, it very well could have been a different scenario.
By the way, I wouldn't be too proud of the young people embracing the democratic party. From my readings it seems that our public educational system is indoctrinating a generation of youth. It wasn't that long ago when the republicans were saying that the democratic party was dead. The pendulum keeps swinging, doesn't it?
