(CNN) - Rush Limbaugh fired back at Colin Powell for his critical comments earlier this week, saying Wednesday that the former secretary of state should join the Democratic Party. “What Colin Powell needs to do is close the loop and become a Democrat instead of claiming to be a Republican interested in reforming the Republican Party,” Limbaugh said on his radio show Wednesday. Limbaugh also took aim at Powell’s decision to endorse President Obama over John McCain during the presidential election, repeating his earlier sentiment that Powell’s move was “solely based on race.”
“He’s just mad at me because I’m the one person in the country who had the guts to explain his endorsement of Obama,” Limbaugh said. “It was purely and solely based on race.” During a speech on Monday, Powell said the “the Republican Party is in deep trouble” and said the GOP would be better off without Limbaugh, according to a report by the National Journal.

Rush Limbaugh is right!! He had the guts to say the truth in saying that Powell's sole reason for endorsing Obama was based on race. Powell should join the Democratic Party because most of his beliefs are aligned with their party. Rush Limabaugh is an excellent conservative speaker and communicator who expresses conservative ideas and principles. So, Rush Limbaugh can stay promoting conservative values, while Powell can take a bow and exit the Republican Party in order to join his liberal democratic friends.
I thought Colin Powell's decision was based on his *cough* moderate Republican values, i.e. liberal values. To say it's based on race without evidence is hard to defend.
