CHUCK HAGEL FLOATING IMPEACHMENT

Republican (in name only) Senator Chuck Hagel, darling and hero of the leftist media, appeared on 'This Week' yesterday. It was there that he used the "I" word....impeachment. Hagel's all upset about the war and says some see impeachment of the president as an option to stop said war. Of course, Hagel is running for president...and whenever he criticizes George Bush the media considers him the most important, solid, hard-core Republican ever. This is all despite the fact that 99% of Americans outside of Nebraska have never heard of Chuck Hagel and couldn't pick him out of a lineup.

The threat against Bush went this way. When speaking about his frustration that Bush is going ahead with the war despite it being unpopular, Hagel said: "Any president who says, I don't care, or I will not respond to what the people of this country are saying about Iraq or anything else, or I don't care what the Congress does, I am going to proceed if a president really believes that, then there are what I was pointing out, there are ways to deal with that." Ahh yes...ways to deal with that. Nice threat, Senator.

Not listening to the majority of the American people does not constitute a "high crime and misdemeanor." In fact, it might very well show wisdom. Remember, the majority of the American people (a) think this country is a Democracy; and (b) can't name their two U.S. Senators.

But .. Hagel is just huffing and puffing. Just like the Democrats who don't have the votes to cut off funding and end the war, Hagel doesn't have the ability to deliver impeachment. Perhaps he should be reminded of the process....the House would have to pass articles of impeachment, and we all know they can't agree on anything.

But to the media...Hagel is the man. There is no more important or powerful Republican, but only when he criticizes Bush.

I don't quite understand Chuck, but maybe thats a good thing. I also don't understand how Nebraska keeps him in office? Is there a strong muslim/liberal/hate America crowd in Nebraska? Hell, if he won the nomination I would vote for Hitlary before this puz. Only in America can a guy like this be a Senator.

Hagel is a mad man. Best thing he can do is voluntarily resign from the Senate and enter a facility for some sort of rehabilitation.

This is bad business. I'm far from being a GW supporter but a Pub Senator pushing impeachment for a Republican President, this isn't good !!!

Hagel is surely a surprise to Nebraskans, too. Or maybe Hagel actually is representing the the point of view of his constituents back home!

Wow. Who would've thought that 'MOVEON' politics could've won over Nebraska?...Did I miss a meeting?

Chuck Hagel and John Conyers. Nearly identical on the issues.

I agree. Chuck should be impeached. As should Jeffers. And Arlen "not proven" Specter.

Maybe Jim Webb made Hagel an offer he couldn't refuse.

I guess you could say that one benefit of having the dumbocrats running congress is that it's easier to flush out and identify the RINOs--since their "core beliefs" more parallel the lefties who run the show, the don't need to work as hard to conceal them.

Never would vote for Hitlary but Chuck would get his clock cleaned by Mondale. I saw Chucks brother on tv a while back. He was your typical aging pony tail wearing bed wetting liberal lawyer. I think they are very close in politics. Perhaps Hagel was electedbecause he has an R next to him name and his opponent was a serial killer. That would make sense.

There must be something in the water in DC, or unless it is the cocktail parties with the elitists.

And the Republican Senatorial Committee wants me to send money to them?

Hagel said: "Any president who says, I don't care, or I will not respond to what the people of this country are saying about Iraq or anything else, or I don't care what the Congress does, I am going to proceed if a president really believes that, then there are what I was pointing out, there are ways to deal with that."

Sounds exactly like Congress ignoring the voters once the elections are over. I believe there are ways to deal with that also.
