VA GOP chair: US becoming a "second-rate power" and Colin Powell is a "coward"

I don't know about you, but I'm not sure calling the United States a "second-rate power" is a good way to win over voters. And calling Colin Powell a "coward"? Of course, this is the same nutjob who compared Obama to Osama bin Laden. He made these comments a bit over a week ago, but I only just saw them (thanks to reader Rick). It's important to see the Republican party for what it is, what is has become. The hate, the extremism, the anger, the intolerance. And they wonder why Americans are leaving them in droves.
