Limbaugh Attacks Powell… Again
Written by Ike
This may not come as a shock to anyone, at all, anywhere, but Rush Limbaugh recently demanded the former Secretary of State Colin Powell join the Democratic Party because he (Powell) did not vote for the same person that Limbaugh did. Rush reiterated that Powell’s endorsement of then-Senator Obama was based entirely on race (something Rush would never do, of course, because he is a very tolerant, open-minded individual).
To those who believe that Colin Powell is a traitor for having endorsed Obama, remember this: Democrats need not only vote for Democrats, Republicans need not only vote for Republicans, Independents need not only vote for Independents.
Sometimes you have to vote for the best candidate, and if Mr. Powell were white, I do not think his vote would have been any different.
As for Mr. Powell joining the Democratic Party, I would not be opposed to it, as I am a Democrat and have respected Colin Powell for years (his address to the U.N. notwithstanding). However, I would prefer someone as sensible as he is remain in the Republican Party. Right now they need leaders (in stature, not position) like him who do not condone blind hatred for others and instead will lead them out of the current crisis they are in.
After all, I believe a two-party system is critical to the survival of this nation, lest we find ourselves in the midst of a situation not unlike Iraq’s, where the minority party will never hold power due to fewer numbers.

in the attachment above titled ‘join the Democratic party’ there is a priceless response from someone named Dwayne, who says: “Okay. Then I guess it’s safe to say that every white man that Limbaugh voted for was based soley on race.”
