The conservative Republican organization pens an open letter criticizing the moderate Republican statesman: "In the last two elections, candidate Obama and then President Obama was
able to point to your endorsement as an example of a Republican for
Obama. That’s a shame. When one looks at your past record, one can
only conclude that you’ve been nothing but a Republican of convenience
with a poorly hidden disdain for your party and your country."
It continues its criticism of Mr. Powell: "So here’s the truth about your 70% approval ratings. 50 of that 70 is
the 100% of Democrats that know you’re nothing but one of them who
pretends to be a Republican. The other 20 is the 40% of Republicans who
aren’t paying attention. You’re a sheep in wolf’s clothing. Do us a
favor and take off your mask. Admit you’re really a Democrat. Quit
trying to pretend your opinions deserve more clout because you’re a
Republican who hates his party and his country’s success on the
international stage. And please, don’t ever endorse another Republican
ever. If he’s actually worth electing, your endorsement will hinder his
cause."
