Colin Powell: GOP must be more inclusive

What? The Nation of Dick and Boss Limbaugh didn't convince Colin Powell that he's really a Democrat? Shocking:
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says he's still a Republican, but the party needs to change and be more inclusive. [...]

Former Vice President Dick Cheney and radio personality Rush Limbaugh have openly mocked Powell's political leanings - questioning whether he still is in the GOP.

Powell says if the GOP doesn't reach out to more people, then the party will rest on a narrow base of supporters. Powell says that by moving to the right, the GOP risks losing right-of-center Republicans to Democratic and independent parties.

Too late, Colin.

On his presidential votes, Powell describes himself as having a long, solid record of voting for Republicans. But he says he did vote for Democrats John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter.
