He lost that right when he endorsed socialist Barack Obama for President. Want to know another reason? He knows jack about being a conservative.

“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.”

Spoken like a true liberal, which is really what Colin Powell has been all along. It’s not the first time he spoke this trash, and it’s incorrect trash as well.

Are Americans looking for more Government in their lives? Just which Americans is he referring to? They don’t live at my house, or on my block. Which Americans want more taxes? You see it’s crap. The only ones who want the government to take care of them pay little to no taxes at all. The rest of us, the other 60 percent who do, don’t want to pay more, we want to pay less.

Powell needs to shut up and go back to dancing with his friends.

We don’t need him and he doesn’t speak for us.
