Once lauded as an extremely credible and highly valued member of the party, Powell’s credibility is nil since an appearance on Meet the Press in which he dared to criticize the GOP for obviously racist language directed at President Obama. In fact, Powell is ‘no longer a Republican’ according to the membership director, Fox commentator Bill O’Reilly in response to Powell’s comments.

Forget presidential laziness and shuckin’ and jivin’ for a moment. Who could forget Bill O’Reilly’s stirring evaluation of the election. O’Reilly reasoned that the Republicans lost because blacks and other minorities want “Free Stuff.” Unlike hard working white people who vote Republican. He explained this as he lamented the coming end of the white majority. Brit Hume offered his enlightening take on the bru ha ha . Essentially stating: ‘I don’t understand why he’s so angry and bitter at the white people that gave him so much.’
