Colin Powell Still Claims to be a Republican

It is amazing how this guy can endorse 0bama and still claim to be a Republican. It would be like me claiming to be a Texas Longhorns football fan and endorsing Sam Bradford for the Heisman.

In the latest round of the increasingly heated intra-GOP feud, former Secretary of State Colin Powell Sunday defended his Republican credentials and fired back at radio host Rush Limbaugh and former Vice President Dick Cheney, saying the party had to expand beyond its conservative base.
“Rush will not get his wish and Mr. Cheney was misinformed – I am still a Republican,” Powell said in a much-anticipated interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation” two weeks after Cheney suggested on the same show that the retired general had left the party by endorsing Barack Obama last fall.
Powell outlined his party bona fides, noting his votes for and services under a string of Republican presidents, and said it was not up to Cheney and Limbaugh – the radio host has kept up a steady drumbeat of criticism since Powell's cross-party endorsement last year – to determine who belonged in the GOP.
“Neither [Cheney] nor Rush Limbaugh are members of the membership committee of the Republican Party,” Powell said.

There are many people, myself included, who were not thrilled with John McCain. But I never once considered voting for 0bama.

Colin Powell is a traitor. And now he will get to live the sad life of a traitor. He will find himself to be about as welcome in the Republican party as Benedict Arnold was welcome in Washington's army after he tried to hand West Point over to the British.
