The Colin Powell endorsement shouldn't be a surprise. From the very first time he acknowledge his party membership, he's claimed to be a "Rockefeller Republican". That's the same as saying "liberal country clubber".

Dang, that statement came back to bite us in the butt real quick to the tune of 700 billion.

A "gridlocked government" didn't produce that $700mm bill. It was a unified government: Democrats in charge of both houses, and a Republican eager to get their support in charge of the Executive branch.

If government was gridlocked, no action would be taken.

At this stage, gridlock is the best we can hope for, since having the GOP in charge of both houses and the executive branch has proven to lead to the biggest expansion ever of the federal government.
