Beleifnet comments on Colin Powell’s criticism of rumors that have spread around senior members of the GOP calling Obama a Muslim, as if his allegiance would be to something other than America’s best interest, if the rumors were even true. On Meet the Press Powell said yesterday, “This is not the way we should be doing it in America.”
In another related article the God-O-Meter covers the “widening chasm in the GOP between religious conservatives and the traditional party establishment” with the latest addition of Powell’s dissolution with Palin, saying that her succession would move the GOP even further to the right than it already is. This doesn’t sit well with Powell who says: “I would have difficulty with two more conservative appointments to the Supreme Court, but that’s what we’d be looking at in a McCain administration.”
