In the latest round of the increasingly heated intra-GOP feud, former Secretary of State Colin Powell Sunday defended his Republican credentials and fired back at radio host Rush Limbaugh and former Vice President Dick Cheney, saying the party had to expand beyond its conservative base.

“Rush will not get his wish and Mr. Cheney was misinformed – I am still a Republican,” Powell said in a much-anticipated interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation” two weeks after Cheney suggested on the same show that the retired general had left the party by endorsing Barack Obama last fall.

1. What about 'stick people'...

......In the latest round of the increasingly heated intra-GOP feud, former Secretary of State Colin Powell Sunday defended his Republican credentials and fired back at radio host Rush Limbaugh and former Vice President Dick Cheney, saying the party had to expand beyond its conservative base....Powell pleaded, 'I've tried to bring my friends, the 'stick people' under our party's umbrella..but their needs are still being grossly over-looked by the Republican party'...

2. I watched "Meet The Press" this morning -

Powell, as usual, was uninteresting, said nothing new, and contributed nothing to anything.

He's still a blank slate, standing for nothing, but taking advantage of all the great offers that have come his way as the token whatever he happens to be at any given time.

Another one with nothing, but calls himself a "Republican."

Go away, Powell - your expiration date was a long time ago ...........................

3. But the right-wing will never accept Colin Powell...

Because he voted for Barack Obama.
