The Republican Party is in big trouble and needs to find a way to move back to the middle of the country, former Secretary of State Colin Powell said Monday.
Powell said the GOP is "getting smaller and smaller" and "that's not good for the nation." He also said he hopes that emerging GOP leaders, such as House Minority Whip Cantor, will not keep repeating mantras of the far right.
"The Republican Party is in deep trouble," Powell told corporate security executives at a conference in Washington sponsored by Fortify Software Inc. The party must realize that the country has changed, he said. "Americans do want to pay taxes for services," he said. "Americans are looking for more government in their life, not less."
Do you want to pay more taxes? Are you looking for more government in your life? If not, you must not be Americans. I guess all those people who showed up on April 15th to protest against higher taxes and bigger government aren't Americans either.
Powell always had a liberal bent. Now he's clearly gone all the way over to the dark side.
