Republicans Against Trump: Bush Advisor Wolfowitz Says He'll Likely Vote for Clinton
Der Spiegel ^ | August 26, 2016 – 06:24 PM | Gordon Repinski

Posted on 08/26/2016 11:59:49 AM PDT by Olog-hai

In an interview, Paul Wolfowitz, 72, an advisor to former President Bush, discusses the dangers of a Donald Trump presidency, why he will likely vote for the Democrat’s candidate this year and mistakes made during the Iraq war. […]

Spiegel: Recently, 50 former senior Republican security officials declared Donald Trump to be a security risk. Is he?

Wolfowitz: Yes, he is.

Spiegel: Why?

Wolfowitz: He says he admires Putin, that Saddam Hussein was killing terrorists, that the Chinese were impressive because they were tough on Tiananmen Square. That is pretty disturbing. […]

Spiegel: Who are you going to vote for in November?

Wolfowitz: I wish there were somebody I could be comfortable voting for. I might have to vote for Hillary Clinton, even though I have big reservations about her. …

Yeah, that’s a shocker...

That a guy who has sniffed the jockstraps of those in power, and lived off of taxpayer funded jobs his entire adult life, would want to continue to do that.

Obama may start a war before the election. September is coming and that is the month the democrats pull their big pre election chaos stunts.

Obama missed his golden opportunity. But of course he would.

When Trump is president, and Iranian boatloads of koranimals want to play games with our warships, they will get one warning...

If they persist... chumming coming up!...

We might even pick up the survivors and have them kneel on the deck with hands behind their heads... for a few hours.

(”knock, knock, knock”)

Who loves tyranny
We love tyranny
How much tyranny
A whole lot of tyranny
That’s the way were going to stay
So knock on wood

When someone would refer to "Uniparty Globalists" I used to roll my eyes. Surely there are real differences between Republicans and Democrats.

Every day, I see more clearly. They were right, and I was a fool.

I don't think the power brokers of either party give a damn about grassroots concerns like life or abortion, union or right to work, or the minimum wage, or the Constitution, or marriage or who-pees-where, or any of the things that we care about.

Not one damn thing. Those are smokescreen issues to keep us squabbling while they proceed to line their pockets.

Yep.

I stopped voting for a Bush - any Bush - in 2004. (I did not, however, vote for a Democrat.)

declared Donald Trump to be a security risk. ................................ Sorry but I have to agree with that. He is a danger to the security of the preservation of the DC Cabal’s golden goose. He will mess up the I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine, and worst of all, he probably can’t be bought. That is the greatest fear they have. It has nothing to do with the country, only their lifestyle and pocket book.

Spiegel: Does it annoy you that you are called the “Architect of the Iraq War”?

Wolfowitz: “Annoyed” isn’t the right word; it’s inaccurate. If I had been the architect, a lot of these things would be different. As a matter of fact, I believed after 9/11, there was reason to get much tougher about the fact that Saddam was blocking the inspections for weapons of mass destruction. He was harboring terrorists. I thought that it was time to give Saddam an ultimatum just as we did with the Taliban who were harboring Osama Bin Laden. People seem to forget that Saddam was the only leader in the world who praised the attacks of 9/11 as a good thing. …
So according to himself, he is really not the architect but should have been.

If Wolfowitz had any shame, he would have gone into self-exile somewhere far away, and without access to communication with the outside world.

Many of us supported the Iraq War, in part because we trusted Bush and Cheney, and in part because we knew Saddam was truthfully a bad guy.

We didn't know that Wolfowitz was selling Bush on a grander plan that was deeply flawed and part of a grander plan of globalism.

What's the chance Hillary will decline his support? And what's the chance her progressive supporters will care?

“Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.”

— Communist Goal #15
Aren’t the RINOs that promised to undo Obama’s agenda if elected/re-elected instead supporting it?

**Shaking head**

Seems to me that one problem is Trump doesn’t mince words.. he doesn’t go around the bush to find the right words... he just talks. He meets the people and does not put on airs... which is fresh and riles the elite who are empty suits. They consider a man of the people not fit to be President.

Those stinkin’ elite don’t ever just talk with the people. They parse words, they lie, they promise things and have no intention of doing them.. or they say they will not do something and then do the opposite.. politicians don’t ever tell the truth.. they don’t ever talk plain talk.. and they all think their way is the ONLY way to do anything.

Whereas... I hate their talk, their way, their lies, their promises that they never keep, and their absolute lack of respect for the people. They consider themselves too good to associate and the sooner they are put in place, the better for the country. I never, in my whole life, realized the length and depth of the corrupt Washington media/politicals, and absolute lack of any brains to work with... though highly educated, they lack in common sense and they lack in their ability to live among common man... willfully ignorant is who they are... and that’s inexcusable.

The rejection of Wolfowitz should be judged to be highly valuable. One of the chief authors of the current chaotic state of the Mideast. Classic intellectual viper, completely unaware of just how venal he actually is and the 50 years+ on full-on misery he will have unleashed upon the world.

I have been saying that for months. We have had a uniparty for years if not decades. I wonder if there is a special liquid they drink to make them nuts.

Franklin Roosevelt’s rapid conversion from Constitutionalism to the doctrine of unlimited government is an oft-told story. But I am here concerned not so much by the abandonment of states’ rights by the national Democratic Party — an event that occurred some years ago when that party was captured by the socialist ideologues in and about the labor movement — as by the unmistakable tendency of the Republican Party to adopt the same course. […] Thus, the cornerstone of the Republic, our chief bulwark against the encroachment (on) individual freedom by Big Government, is fast disappearing under the piling sands of absolutism.

The Republican Party, to be sure, gives lip service to states’ rights. We often talk about “returning to the states their rightful powers”; the Administration has even gone so far as to sponsor a federal-state conference on the problem. But deeds are what count, and I regret to say that in actual practice, the Republican Party, like the Democratic Party, summons the coercive power of the federal government whenever national leaders conclude that the states are not performing satisfactorily. …

The Conscience of a Conservative (1960), pp. 24-25
Definitely decades.
