    The list grows practically from day to day. Not like the days of just Zell Miller getting up at the RNC in 2004 to support then Pres. Bush.......

    Many more prominent Republicans to follow.

    The trickle will soon become a flood.

    Holy smokes! The original neocon thinks Trump is too extreme. But he's right - Trump is a security risk; a 'clear and present danger' to America according to Michael Hayden.

    Anyone notice that most of the Republicans who've endorsed Hillary over Trump are former Bushies or Iraq War advocates? I wonder what they see in Hillary.....:smile:

    It is clearly important for Trump to abandon his core positions to get those fine establishment Republicans to vote for him. ;-)

    Just ask Christie.

    I've got to question your sanity when you call people responsible for some of the biggest crimes against humanity and destruction of complete societies as prominent people. What a joke. I lived long enough to see so called Democrats cheering for people like Paul Wolfowitz moving into Hillary's camp. You guys have no shame whatsoever.

    There is a serious, and I mean, a serious flaw in your logic. I see no one on the Left cheering for Wolfowitz. He is not my type. But he is a Republican and one who was once deep within the inner workings of our government and for Wolfowitz, of all people, to declare for Hillary is nothing less than astonishing. So, instead of trying to attach an emotion to the people who report things, for instance, myself, learn to stick to facts, you know, like adults do....

    Indeed. Do Republicans possess ANY core values at all these days? It sure as hell is no longer family values.... to be sure.

    Wolfowitz is a a neoconservative, a liberal who believes in using the U.S. military for nation building just like Hillary Clinton. Both are warhawks.

    The "neoconservatives" gained control and became the GOP establishment around 1996.

    With the Trump movement the neoconservatives are no longer in complete control of the GOP. Most are whining like liberal Democrats. Many are returning to their roots, the old liberal base of the Democrat party.

    I have no problem with these nation building liberals leaving the GOP. They were always known as RINO's.

    The neoconservatives had a purpose during the Cold War but after Reagan won the Cold War the neocons should have gone back home and cleaned up the Democrat party back during the early 1990's.

    The RP, like the DP has no core values. Republicans and Democrats who are not politicians have similar values.

    Neoconservatives were always liberals. They use to be the liberal base in the Democrat party during the 1950's and 1960's. Many of the original neoconservatives just weren't liberals but some were socialist.

    What would become "neoconservatives" were liberal Democrat who despised two things, Communist and the counter cultural movement which was led by "red diaper babies" during the 1960's and 70's who would become known as the "New Left."

    When the "New Left" started gaining control of the Democrat party during the early 1970's and the New Left didn't want to continue fighting the "Cold War" basically they surrendered, the liberal base started leaving the Democrat party and came under the GOP tent and were known as neoconservatives.

    It's all American Political History 101.

    You do know they came from the Democratic Party originally right? They are beginning the process of returning home. Particularly when the Democrats now have a candidate more in tune with their foreign policy than the current Republican candidate.

    I hope you enjoy them as much as we have!

    She is a neocon. Afterall, she went against the advice of gates and a general in taking out Gadafi, destabilizing Libya, turning it into another haven for radicals. And remember that neocon list has Iran, Iraq, Syria and Libya on it, to go after and take out their leaders. Clinton gave the necons their wish, so of course wolfman will support her. She is a war mongering neocon.

    Perhaps she will get your kids or grandkids killed in the middle east, as she proves she has bigger balls than Bush? She never saw a war she didn't love. Reminds me of that Predator character who was drawn to killing, blood, violence. Happy hunting Hillary.

    I'm not trying to attach anything to people who report things. I'm just exposing how hypocritical some Democrats are. If you cannot handle the dirty truth about your own people, then you shouldn't be posting on political forums. Practice what you preach and stick to the facts. Hillary and her team are now openly courting Bush cronies and disenfranchised neocon warmongers. Nothing but shameful.

    Of course Paul Wolfowitz is supporting the pro-war interventionist candidate. Totally unsurprising.

    Sure you are, but I generally don't get in the way of a person and his inherent dishonesty. I just let other people read the exchange. That's the great thing about words on a forum. Most of them are PERMANENT.

    You knuckleheads do understand that Republicans and Democrats are in on it together, and that Trump is alone in opposing them? Whether you agree with Trump or not, you should at least recognize that a party member opposing him is not news. It's expected. Posting this just makes you look ignorant of modern politics. Both parties have screwed us and Trump is our retaliation against both. Disagree, but at least show that you understand what you are disagreeing with. It seems like you don't.

    It wasn't rape, it was done with consent. But that consent has been withdrawn and now, look who's giving consent!
