WILL COLIN "SAVE" the GOP??

"Can" Colin Save the Repoobs??

 

On one of the Sunday shows today was Colin Powell, former Secretary of State for the "W" and Cheney Administration.  Colin defended, under attack by the talking head, his votes (twice) for President Obama; yet said he was still a Republican, because he "was raised that way".  A panel followed which included Governor Barber of Mississippi (home of Tarantino's "Candi-Land") implored Colin to lead the GOP back to sanity.  Cory Booker, Mayor of Newark, NJ, appeared to be the only sane person on the panel.

 

The election is over.  The GOP lost -- big time!  The Gun-Nuts in the party (the Repoobs, or Tea-partiers) are in the media threatening open insurrection.  The GOP leadership in the House and Senate are "hunkering down" in their opposition to just about anything our government needs to do to keep the country running.  Next stop (after being out-foxed in their stand at the "cliff") is a threat from the idiots to push the nation (again) into bankruptcy.

 

Where the Hell are the voters of this country?  If the nuts carrying on in the GOP had dark complexions and wore turbans, we'd all be in the streets (with or without guns)!    But No!  We remain mesmerized by our "entertainers" on the right, left, and middle. We have to dial back to 1861 in our history to find our country in this much difficulty.

 

The Democrat Party members seems to be confused in the face of all of this.  There are more and more resignations among Cabinet leaders.  Have we no clear thinkers?  Is Colin the answer?

 

Colin and I are two years apart in age.  Our military careers both started with Army ROTC.  We were commissioned when no private employers would employ African Americans (then called Negros) for any job that was not menial or "stoop" labor.  Negros in professions were in the JIM CROW establishment formed by doctors, lawyers, preachers, and teachers.  With a degree in Physics and a commission in the Air Force, my career led to Cold War technology and weapon development.  I retired at the 20 year point as a Lt Colonel.  Colin went on to the General Ranks with the aid of Caspar Weinberger.  Colin's total career contains many troubling events.  That, and the penchant for the GOP to continue to cling to the past on social and economic issues, makes the proposal unlikely.

 

Stay Vigilant!
