QP Dusty--
For my own peace of mind, I'd largely stopped venting on PS.COM about the 2008 election by the time you arrived.
We (the GOP) lost. They won. Time to look to 2012. Was my frame of mind. (A member or two of this BB have had to endure some ranting PMs.)

I often wonder (rhetorically) why is this accusation made about GEN Powell and not about other members of the GOP establishment who also broke ranks with the party and endorsed the Democratic Party's nominee. What is the logic of the argument? Why is it not consistently applied to others who crossed over from red to blue? What is the evidence (i.e., a letter, memorandum of conversation, an eyewitness account, or even triple hearsay twice removed) of GEN Powell trading horses? Or are we now the same as our friends on the opposite side of the aisle and hold an accusation to be the same thing as proof?
