Colin Who? (Update And Bump)

Joe Sudbay, America Blog [1], must be one of all of three people that think Colin Powell is a republican:

There may be some fireworks on this Memorial Day weekend — intra-GOP fireworks.

Colin Powell may have been a successful military leader, but he’s fighting a futile battle here. Cheney and Limbaugh are the leaders of the GOP now. And, those two are who the dwindling number of Republicans actually want to lead them.

Powell is a democrat.   Hint, he endorsed Barack Obama for president.   If Powell wants to rejoin the republicans, he is more than welcome.   All  he need to do is to explain why he left,  and why anybody on earth should take him at this word.

Addendum:

As for as I can see, Powell is still a democrat.   In fact I has sdopted his idol, Barack Obama pet tactic, attacking straw dogs, Fox News [2]:

“You know, neither (Cheney) nor Rush Limbaugh are members of the membership committee of the Republican Party. I get to make my decision on that,” Powell said. “And so I will continue to work in a way that I think is helpful to the country and helpful to the party.” 

Of course, there is no membership committee, for any party    As for why Powell endorsed Obama over his own alleged party:

He said the reason he endorsed Barack Obama for president last fall — a decision that prompted a wave of conservative discontent with Powell — was he believed Obama was “best-qualified” to lead.

So where is this delusional leadership quality Obama was supposed to have, and why has be failed to demonstrate any of it to date?    The MSM is catching on to one lame leadership style. Helene Cooper, New York Times [3]:

Now that there is a new team at the White House, guess who is knocking down straw men left and right? To listen to President Obama, a veritable army of naysayers has invaded Washington, urging him to sit on his hands at the White House and do nothing to address any of the economic or national security problems facing the country.

 Bye Colin.
