Bob Kerrey, the former Nebraska senator and governor, was always one of my favorite politicians in part because his politics weren’t perfectly polished. Among other free-wheeling moments, he called fellow Democrat Bill Clinton an “uncommonly good liar” and said a requirement for becoming president is that you must “want it more than life itself.”
Kerrey moved on to academia and now to an investment bank, but hasn’t lost the willingness to break ranks with his party. The habit surfaces in a withering criticism of current Democrats, where he says they are suffering from two major “delusions.”
“The first,” he writes in an op-ed in the Omaha World-Herald, “is that Americans long for a president who will ask us to pay more for the pleasure of increasing the role of the federal government in our lives.”
He cites as examples the foolish push for the Green New Deal, wealth taxes and Medicare-for-all, all of which are being embraced by 2020 candidates.
The Dems’ second delusion, he says, “is that Americans were robbed of the truth when Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller and Attorney General William Barr concluded that President Trump did not collude with Russia in 2016.” He goes on to say there is no reason to think the full report will change the finding that Trump is an innocent man.

Diogenes lamp finally found an honest Democrat
Low blow.
He did what he felt he had to do to protect his men while volunteering to serve under impossible conditions. Fate can take you places where you have no good options. If he had not done that, all his guys could have been killed like Marcus Luttrell’s crew. Where had he pledged his loyalty?
I’d criticize him for giving in to protect Clinton rather than try to take him down in the 90’s, though even there, there were forces at work which at the time were insurmountable.
He says he murdered women, didn’t he? He admits it. I stand by my original comment. Typical dem! War of Women Dem! Lol.
