Sen. Chuck Hagel is at it again, trying to be all things to all people in his bid for the Presidency in 2008. As a constituent of Sen. Hagels, who the Senator has failed miserably, I call on all Freepers to do their part to make sure this man does not get the GOP nomination in 2008.

[Coop]

Why doesn't he just do a Jeffords and get it over with?

[funkywbr]

F Hagel.

I second that emotion.

Hagel and Ben Nelson are just two sides of the same counterfeit coin. Both of them embarass me to be from Nebraska.

[ken5050]

Two reasons..I) In the minority, he'd have ZERO influence..2)..This morning..Hagel announced that he was exploring an 08 presidential bid..

[faithincowboys]

This Rino thinks he's viable for 2008. Well, he has no chance of getting my vote. I have an Anbody But Hagel attitude for 2008.

[AlbionGirl]

Listen Senator, if you don't want to revisit Vietnam, then don't, and TuneTFO. Other Vets, with equal rights to free speech, want to revisit it, so just STFU!

[Patriotic Bostonian]

Hitlary has Hagel's file.

"I have an Anbody But Hagel attitude for 2008."

I can't stand Hagel, but he's so stupid he's way down the list for me. If IQ points were dynamite, he couldn't move a facial tissue.

"Politics is about inspiration, it's about lifting people up," Hagel said, prompting applause.

It seems painfully obvious to me that Hagel has no CLUE what the purpose of a political campaign is. The purpose is to WIN, to gain office and then to hold that office.

Must not be any oxygen in the air wherever he is.

As a born & raised husker I can't imagine this Hagel guy getting elected & I asked my friends back there what is his attraction? Of the two I prefer Ben. This from a state that has/will vote Bush in bigger % than probably any state. Defies logic.

Hagel and McCain are backstabbers. We have to manage with them and it's not easy. Y'all might be surprised but I've met many educated people who are captivated by McCain's maverick ways.

[UNGN]

If McCain get's the Nomination in 2008, Hagel is going to be his running mate.

Hagel has no hope of winning a primary, but if he's out, when he's put on McCain's ticket, he won't be a COMPLETE unknown (the Edwards Gambit).

You heard it here, first.

NOBODY, (including Kerry) has sucked up to McCain MORE than Hagel.

[Digger]

Hagel said the candidates, President Bush and Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., have hurt the political process by focusing on division rather than unity in the flap over Kerry's service 30 years ago in Vietnam.

Bush? Bush has focused on division? Where does this idiot come from? (A close friend of McLame) Does that tell you anything?

[Reagan Disciple]

Hagel has spent too much time front of the fire sipping champagne to realize how irrelavent he is outside of Nebraska.

Now lets see how long it takes for someone to offer up Condi for 2008?

[Nonstatist]

Dont worry. The blowhard has no constituency. He's an uninteresting version of McPain.

[Bombardier]

Now lets see how long it takes for someone to offer up Condi for 2008?

She would kick the a** of any Dhim who ran! RICE 2008!

[solo gringo]

Why Does Hagel have his drawers in a wod.He has been bad mouthing Bush sense day one.First he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer and talks out of both sides of his mouth.

[austingirl]

I don't think he has a chance at the nomination - at least I hope the pubbies have someone better.
