It's official. Colin Powell is no longer a Republican.
Not because he changed his registration. He didn't.
Not because he said he no longer was a Republican. He hasn't said that.
Not because the party expelled him......yet.
No. He's no longer a Republican because former Vice President Dick Cheney says he isn't.
God has spoken.
As for those few remaining voices of reason like Bill Bennett who say there is still room in the GOP for moderates. They fail to add the part about the prerequisite of keeping their mouths shut and following the party line.
So......If you have a masochistic bent, unquestioning loyalty to hypocrisy, enjoy being used and call yourself a moderate the New Republican Party wants you. Well, really all they want is your vote.... and your silence.
