Republican Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson appeared on The Ed Show where he spoke about President Obama's unprecedented agreement with Iran. Wilkerson, unlike most Republicans and quite a number of Democrats, was able to see what the agreement if fulfilled would mean.

(87 posts)I've never read anything of his or ever heard him say anything over the years which would indicate that he is a Republican. There once was a time when more progressive minded people like Margaret Chase Smith, John Lindsay, Nelson Rockefeller and Millicent Fenwick could call the GOP home. Those days ended abruptly during the era of Reagan.
Anything I have ever heard or read from Colonel Wilkerson has supported our side. I have never heard him support a single Republican idea.

DOOMSDAY POLITICS.
