Natalie Meyer - Colorado Colin Powell is already a leader in the Republican Party. Republicans have raised a big tent with room for tolerance on side-bar issues. We are united on basic principles of individual responsibility, freedom to manage our own lives without excessive government intrusion. The Party is undergoing change. Colin Powell, and almost anyone who has a reasonable intelligence, and sense of the political process, and the people, can become a Republican leader.
All comers can play.
I certainly hope so. You witnessed a new beginning for the party. As an African-American Republican, I was proud of Colin and my party. I think the Country has everything to gain from a Republican party that is both tolerant and diverse. I believe we can be both without diluting the essential tenants of support for life, equal opportunity, and economic growth for the individual and business.
