it's a trend. whose next? Karl Rove? Rick Santorum? Condi Rice?

[EYESORE 9001]

1. They got that torturing tyrant?

Not exactly a stellar endorsement in my book, but if it gives permission for other repuQs to abandon the orange menace, GOOD!

[COL Mustard]

3. Any Republican who values the Constitution and our Constitutional system

And wants to back Kamala, I'm all for! We can sort out the policy differences later but we have to preserve the Country.

[paleotn]

4. Exactly. First things first, people.

[EYESORE 9001]

5. Yeah, I'll give him that

Lots of folks dig that torture and I’m guessing most are already repuQs, so, yes, I’ll take their votes. It’s time for repuQs to turn their backs on a wannabee dictator and finally - at long last - show their allegiance to the Constitution. All of it - not just the parts they like. This is existential for democracy itself.

2. Another war criminal

Almost enough to have their own group.

6. Most serious threat in a generation? 20 years ago, BushCo was the threat, and you led the charge.

You opened the door to all of this Mr. Gonzales.

9. Thank you

I'm more than glad to take votes away from Trump, but I'm not about to paint these criminals as the good guys. They laid the path for someone like Trump to move into the White House. Now they care about the constitution and democracy?

After eight years of that disastrous presidency no one was held accountable. Just because Trump was awful, doesn't mean we've forgotten what those people did to this country. Apparently Gonzales and Cheney think we have.

7. War criminal says what? Enemy of my enemy is my short term friend..

American war criminals

8. Hey, he seems to have completely recovered from the amnesia episode

he had while testifying to the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2007. Imagine that.

[cactusfractal]

10. "in a generation"

... Because he was part of the last threat a generation ago.

We remember.

We fought Dubya, and thought Republicans couldn't get more stupid at the time. Boy, were we wrong.

[CaptainTruth]

11. I would take Colin Powell.

Powell was not part of the PNAC, he was not part of their "new Pearl Harbor" plans to "transform the Middle East," he did not help craft their lies about Iraq WMDs. In other words, he was not part of the group that used 9/11 as their "new Pearl Harbor" & pushed lies about Iraqi WMDs as an excuse to invade Iraq & pursue their goal of an "imperial America."

That group needed someone with credibility to push their lies to the world & they used Powell for that purpose. He, like most others in government & most Americans, believed what the PNAC cabal were saying & he presented their "evidence" of WMDs in good faith, believing it was true. It wasn't until much later that he realized he had been deceived & used, & I will not hold that against him.

Sadly, I don't believe most Americans understand what really happened.

[CaptainTruth]

12. Just realized Powell passed away in 2021!

Oooops!

I'm totally out of my time zone right now... need sleep & coffee.

15. LIHOP

or MIHOP?

[CaptainTruth]

17. I believe LIHOP.

The letters they sent to Pres Clinton & Netanyahu before Bush was elected (appointed by SCOTUS) made it clear how badly they wanted that war, & all the warnings sent to the Bush admin that something was coming, some with very specific details, were apparently ignored, or certainly not acted on.

[Deminpenn]

18. Powell most certainly did enable the Iraq invasion

Myabe you've forgotten Powell's full of WMD lies to the UN. I haven't.

[CaptainTruth]

19. I have not forgotten.

He was definitely deceived & used by the PNAC crew to enable the invasion. They used him as the reputable "face" to deliver their lies.

All evidence I've seen indicates that he acted in good faith, believing that what he was saying was true. (You may remember a whole lot of Democrats in government believed it was true too.) The PNAC lied to him & used him, just like they lied to all of America & the world.

13. Oh my!!!

That's gonna make some snowflakes melt

[KPN]

14. In a generation?

[LeftInTX]

16. Rove: No. Santorum: Hell no. Condi Rice: Maybe.

I think Rice will likely vote for Kamala, but have no idea whether she will endorse her.

Rove: No. He lives for GOP dirty tricks.

Santorum: Abortion ban. Abortion ban! Trump. Trump.


I think Bush and family will vote for Kamala.
They just aren't endorsing.
