Colin Powell has taken to the news talk shows to defend his stance against what he calls the "extreme right" of the Republican Party. While denouncing conservative views, he challenged both former Vice President Dick Cheney and talk show host Rush Limbaugh on their thoughts that he had already left the party. He states that Limbaugh's elitist right wing stance has been the downfall of the party, and encourages it to shift back to the "middle". Powell also states that his decision to vote for and endorse Obama for president had nothing to do with color, as suggested by Limbaugh, but on policies.
I try to avoid making personal statements concerning the political environment of the nation. However, I feel compelled to make this statement. A donkey is a donkey, no matter what you call it. You can call it an elephant if you want, but it is still a donkey.
