Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, Republican and former chief of staff for Secretary of State Colin Powell: The only way I can explain it, Rachel, is their hatred of President Obama. And I say that with some circumspection. They want to defeat this man. They want to bring this man out of the White House. They want to embarrass this man. They want to put this man through every kind of turmoil they can possibly put him through politically. 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.
Ronald Reagan sold munitions of war to the terrorist state of Iran and used the proceeds to run an illegal war in Nicaragua where his proxies raped and murdered nuns and massacred women and children in churches. If the Democrats wanted to, they could have had Reagan in prison before the end of his term. But for the good of the country they let it go. Republicans on the other hand tried to overturn the will of the people by setting up Bill Clinton in a perjury trap and impeaching him over an ambiguous answer to a question about an affair. Then and now, they pick party over the constitution, our democracy, and the country. They are dangerously bad Americans.
