16? That's just based on what he's said.

More likely he's never been a Republican and has never voted Republican, not even for his boss dubya.

Not sure about that. I think he may have been before he became the Republican nominee in 2000 and the establishment forced Cheney onto his ticket. All of these establishment neocons were put in his cabinet after his election. I recall W himself being isolationist prior to 9/11 but I could be wrong.

Jeb on the other hand was always aneocon. And George H.W. Bush was always deep state CIA.

Lol. Guess who was in charge of finding George W’s running mate.... Dick Cheney was in charge of the search. So Dick Cheney picked himself and W went along with it.

Wow, I did not know that.

I honestly think what happened with Obama was very similar but from the other side. I think prior to 2008 Obama was a radical leftist. And then when it looked like he was going to win, the DNC gave him establishment hack Biden as his running mate and then they had Citibank pick his cabinet which they filled with establishment neocons. Hence W's 2 wars ramped up to Obama's 7 wars. The neocons figured out that it is much easier to push foreign wars with the Democrats now since the Democrats were in control of the media and the media decided to put zero scrutiny on the Obama administration. So they switched back to the Democrats which is where they originally started off.

Correct. Republican in name only. But do you think Powell voted even nominally Republican, ever?
