What right do Colin Powell and Tom Ridge have to lecture the Republican party?

Good question:

What right do Colin Powell and Tom Ridge have to lecture the Republican party? :: Toby Harnden
Amid much ballyhoo, Colin Powell, former Secretary of State in the Bush administration, went on "Meet the Press" last October and endorsed Barack Obama for President.

His move was no real surprise and had been anticipated for at least a year but the timing and manner of it seemed designed to wreak the maximum political damage to his old friend John McCain.

So why does Powell now seem to think he has the right or credibility to lecture Republicans on how their party should be run?
