Powell isn’t a Republican and I am really tired of the charades. Then again, neither am I, but at least I don’t proclaim myself to be one thing and act in contradiction to my “supposed” beliefs. Powell has been wrong in numerous ways and about numerous things. It’s not my part to dissect each and every flawed decision, however in my book the man carries little credence. His sudden resurgence is courtesy the media with the intent of dismantling the Republican party.

Like the “Framer’s” I am highly skeptical of the party system which seems to be predicated on the interests of the party rather than the concerns of the country. As a nation we are facing tremendous pressures on a variety of fronts and the inability of our “leaders” to overcome the parties’ interests will be our undoing.
