I always loved Lawrence Wilkerson's honesty...he is on with Rachel right now and said:

[Mira]

paraphrasing:

I cannot tolerate what the Republicans (of which I am one) are doing in working to the detriment of the country just to get rid of this President at all cost.
It will probably be the reason I may have to leave the party in the future.

[radiclib]

1. I didn't hear any implication that he'd bolt the party

but he is sure as hell disgusted with it. Good for him.

[Mira]

2. I know the quote is solid that he may have to leave the Republican Party

those words were said.
And yes it followed him expressing true disgust.
I'm surprised he has not already done it.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

5. He DEFINITELY said it.

Heard it and applauded!

[Lochloosa]

6. I heard the same thing...he said it may cause him to leave his party. That is not something he

would say lightly.

[Octafish]

3. The guy spoke the truth about the Iraq war lies.

He also spoke truth about the assassination of President Kennedy.

12. You always have good information, Octafish. Thanks!

15. And here is the mathematical proof of a conspiracy

4. he was very passionate....

in his distain for GOP political strategy...
loved it when he said he might leave party.

7. With the exception of the 1%, I cannot imagine why anyone would be for what the GOP is for. Doesn't

any sense at all to me.

[TheKentuckian]

8. Even the 1% won't do so well in the debacle they are harvesting short term profits from

The ones that can lift their heads from the pig trough can't be down with the clown carr on fire and going off the highest cliff in the world.

9. Propaganda. Brain washing. Fox alternate reality TV.

They make you vote against your own interest, because Limbaugh says: let me read the newspapers for you.

[jtrockville]

10. Direct Quote:

...snip...

So they will take almost any stand... even, and this is what really grates on me as a Republican, even if it is not in the interest of this country. They will take a stand, and have repeatedly taken stands, that oppose the President simply because they oppose the President.

It's not America.
It's not the United States.
It's not our best interests.
It's certainly not our national security interests.

It's getting rid of this President.

That is political opportunism, and political blindness of the first order. And, it may cause me to leave this party eventually. I must say that.

11. Thank you for that! Very much-

I get so stunned when I hear an important moment like that, and in paraphrasing only get the kick in the gut, but not the exact words.
To me this was huge. Because that man has been steadfast ever since he first came on the scene and was REAL.

[jtrockville]

13. Thanks to my DVR. I couldn't have transcribed it otherwise (don't type fast enough).

Glad I could provide affirmation of your recollection. And I agree: it was huge! (or is that HUGH?!?!?)

[Merlot]

14. He was very forthright, and VERY angry.

It was refreshing to see and hear someone be that honestly angry, especially since he's former military. Every thing he said rang true.

I'd like to hear more from him.

[Mira]

16. He's been around. Reliably so.

One of the very very few Republicans to be honest with us. I think his association to Colin Powell has entrenched him to not say what he did today - until his collar burst - which it did.
