Colin Powell bashes Republicans and Rush Limbaugh.  This should come as no surprise.  Because, Colin Powell has turned his back on Republicans. 

In fact, Colin Powell owes his advancement in the military and in politics to conservative Republicans like Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr., and many conservative Republicans who have embraced him enthusiastically over the years. 

Furthermore, Colin Powell was supported by conservatives in regards to a run for the White House.  Now, he is just another political hack trying to land a high paying job with Obama's team of scalawags.    

"I think the party has to stop shouting at the world and at the country,"Powell said. "I think that the party has to take a hard look at itself, and I've talked to a number of leaders in recent weeks and they understand that."

Powell, who says he still considers himself a Republican, said his party should also stop listening to conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh.
