Chuck Hagel likely would face opposition from both liberals and conservatives for his past stances and comments ...

Coats said. "... We watched Chuck take positions that are, frankly, ... to the left of Barack Obama."

He continued: "Hagel has moved ... to someone that looks like they are out of the most leftist state in the country and exceeding even a lot of Democrats,"

... Sen. Linsey Graham, R-S.C., told Chris Wallace, "There would be very little Republican support for his nomination. ... There will be very few votes.”

How stupid can you get.
Obama screwed up foreign policy, and is hiring Chuck Hagel to fire him. Obama wants to blame the Republicans for his disasters.

Really Chuck, how stupid can you get?

Right. Look what happened when Senator John Tower was named Secretary of Defense. (Borked). Same kinda mess when John Ashcroft was nominated for AG (almost Borked)

[Yosemitest]

Also, Obama get to point his finger at the Republicans and laugh at the division, as most of the Republicans refuse to back such a RINO.

For Obama, it's a win-win situation.
How stupid can you get, Chuck?!?

Chuck Hagel will be opposed by Democrats as well as Republicans because he has a long history of reaching out to both Parties with his middle finger in the air.

[Yosemitest]

Like I said, How STUPID can you get, Chuck ?

John McPain suffers the same problems and he would be better than Hagel - not by much though. When will we ever see some actual Patriots being placed in high positions? I know - per my own advice, a question isn't really a question if you know the answer too...

“Uphill battle”

2 days of hearings.

70-30. It’s a lock. Worry about more important things.

Hagel and Kerry will lead us on the road to war. Through weakness.

[alloysteel]

To call Chuck Hagel a Republican, is almost like calling Bronco Bama a Christian. We all know that either is a total perversion of the description.

Time for a little Borking by the Senate Republicans. Teddy Kennedy had no shame whatsoever when HE exercised the option.

But they are mostly a bunch of RINOs themselves....by definition, a Democrat unwilling to publicly declare that is what they are.

[Yosemitest]

These STUPID Republicans need to quit playing the court jesters, then unite and lock up government.
SHUT 'ER DOWN!

[RIghtwardHo]

Hagel will be nominated and confirmed. Guarantee. Don’t like it at all but there it is.

Next.

I dunno. It puts Obama in a tough spot.

Obama loves Hagel because Hagel hates Jews.

But Hagel is also not fond of queers, and Obama is ,well shall we say not certain he is straight?

[csmusaret]

I wonder when we will ever see people with managerial experience put in charge of departments with multi hundred billion dollar budgets. Sitting on your ass in Congress qualifies you do do nothing except talk, get re-elected, point fingers, and avoid responsibility. Jack Welch is more qualified to be Sec Def than McCain or any other blowhard in the US Senate.

If Mass. Gov. Deval Patrick appoints Barney Frank, a Jewish homosexual, to fill Senator Kerry's seat before the Hagel nomination is voted on, I doubt Barney Frank would vote for Hagel. - Tom

It’s not that he’s stupid, it’s that he was never much of a republican and was always pretty much a dick-licker to democrats.

At this point I’m sure our republican “representatives” including my own from Nebraska will back him.

So be it, as long as UpChuck stays the hell away from Nebraska along with Bob Kerrey and Ben Nelson.
