endorse Kamala. I don't think there's a chance in you know what that he has the guts or brains to do that. I thought he was a lightweight puppet when he was in office, and there is no reason to think that age has improved him.

(47,097 posts)there were no WMDs. He called himself "the Decider". Sounds an awful lot like an aspiring dictator to me.

(37,424 posts)This isn't a normal election. This is an election where one side sees it as "one push and we can grab all the marbles", and the other side doesn't. Is he on the "grab" side or not? Especially when the "grab" side is not only the GOP, but the segment of the GOP that put him in office in the first place.

(15,501 posts)Great strategy... Dick and Liz Cheney in the bag... Rick Wilson, Steve Schmidt, Bill Kristol... the AG who supported water boarding... Who next?
Paul Wolfowitz?
Condi Rice?
Rumsfeld? (from the grave)
Colin Powell?
FFS... for Dog sake, when Trump loses next month, can we PLEASE go back to being the LIBERAL Party who doesn't invite war criminals and extremists into our tent?

(12,867 posts)and in fact - none of these people have made any move to join the D party.
It seems safe to say that the Democratic party will probably survive this small handful of off-brand endorsement.

(1,365 posts)I'm sure I hated Dick Cheney as much as anyone here,
but I'm not going to tell him that I won't accept
the ONE decent thing that he's ever done in his life
(that I know about). LOL

(2,896 posts)Anything. His brother lost to trump really fast so why would his endorsement mean anything. I think the repubs are so over the Bushs

(13,501 posts)In the wake of 9/11 the administration of GW Bush engaged in a coordinated campaign of disinformation to deceive the American people about Iraq's alleged WMD and ties to al Qaeda. They took our country into a costly war under false pretenses -- an invasion the PNAC neocons wanted before Bush took office. 9/11 provided the "new Pearl Harbor" they needed.
Their crime was much worse than Nixon's or Trump's first impeachment. It still rankles me that Bush and his cohorts are still free to lead lives of wealth and privilege.
