Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says he's still a Republican, but the party needs to change and be more inclusive.
Powell is a moderate Republican who says he endorsed Democrat Barack Obama over Republican John McCain for president because he thought Obama was the better candidate.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney and radio personality Rush Limbaugh have openly mocked Powell's political leanings -- questioning whether he still is in the GOP.
Powell says if the GOP doesn't reach out to more people, then the party will rest on a narrow base of supporters. Powell says that by moving to the right, the GOP risks losing right-of-center Republicans to Democratic and independent parties.
On his presidential votes, Powell describes himself as having a long, solid record of voting for Republicans. But he says he did vote for Democrats John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter.
Powell appeared on CBS' "Face the Nation."
I have lost all respect for this man, he has turned into nothing except a political pawn bought and paid for by liberals who seek to make this into a socialist country.
