Self-described Republican and former Secretary of State Colin Powell marked the second swearing-in of President Obama Monday with more harsh words for his fellow party members, during separate appearances on MSNBC and ABC.
To Joe Scarborough on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” report, Mr. Powell criticized the GOP’s immigration platform, and questioned why the party has shifted so far right.
The Republican Party should be a party that says, ‘We want everybody to vote,’ and make it easier to vote and give them a reason to vote for the party,” he said, according to Politico. “The [GOP] has shifted dramatically to the right … but if you stay that far to the right, you’re losing where the country is.”
The conservatives in the republican party want everyone to vote if they're registered and legitimate. Powell seems to think it's just a matter of trust. Ha! I wish he would change parties because I'm sick of him!

My thoughts as well. I read the headline and almost didn't click it. I am tired of hearing his name next to the title Republican.
