Part of the President's approval ratings, (which must be taken with a grain of salt to begin with considering the agenda-driven manipulation of polls) are due to Republicans not standing publically firm with him on many issues.

This isn't the full reason of course, but the Pubs in congress haven't been nearly as vocally supportive as I'd like to have seen them, especially during a time of war.

Hoekstra said the White House had discussed several possible candidates with him, and his views on Hayden would not be a surprise to the Bush administration

Didn't we determine the biggest problem in intelligence was the various agencies did not share information?

If a military man takes over the CIA then is it not likely the CIA will now at long last cooperate with the Defense department and vice versa? They might both even cooperate with the state department as well.

This house dude is just angry that someone who would illegally leak to him was not selected.
