There had not be a single member of the GOP that votes for this traitor.

If any do, we must see to it that they are GONE in their next primary.

Graham gives great deference to the President? Why? When the Democrats did not like a man, they blocked him. But Graham refuses; takes Hagel at his word, despite evidence that the man’s performance before the committee was so two-faced.

Republicans once again trying desperately to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Someone or some entity has subverted almost all of our leadership and incessantly attacks those they can’t compromise. We are on the edge of destruction and/or slavery.

And the rot, cancer and corruption just festers and spreads further.

This nomination by Bronco Bama was one of the most cynical and sinister appointments he has yet called up. He co-opts the Republicans by getting one of the most anti-Israeli former Senators ever in Washington, who is also a nominal “Republican”, jockeyed and levered through the confirmation process, so he can claim “bipartisan” foreign policy when the Muslim Brotherhood makes their next attempt to annihilate the Israeli state, and the US steps in to “help” in this effort, in a pretense of “even-handedness”.

Darned right the Israelis believe they have been royally shafted. Just enough of the Senate Republicans are too gullible and/or STUPID to take a principled stand.

The abyss yawns. No doubt, with boredom, as this has played out before.

Yeah, Hagel’s a done deal. The GOPe has already shaken hands on the deal. I imagine they got Brennan in the process as well, with a promise of more cooperation re: Bengazi (which won’t happen).

First - The (R) party is TOTALLY worthless. Secondly - If he is not confirmed Big Ears sends another more crazy than Hagel & what then will the (R) scum do but confirm. It’s win win for the commies & lose lose for the idiot RINOs. Sadly this will be the continuation for the rest of my life.

IMHO I think that Obama wants Hagel to do to DOD what he has already done to NASA

Well, which is it? Is his name going to be withdrawn (As according to another thread) or is he going to be confirmed?

Well of course he’ll be confirmed. Anyone think the GOP was actually on the sie of America? Oh, there are a few to be sure, but the GOP elite are trying to marginalize them as fast as they can.

Sad.

Is the CSM just dreaming/projecting again?

“The president isn’t done with Benghazi,” McDonough said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday. “He’s demanded of us, since that night, to find out exactly what happened

Since he wasn't there.

and to make every reform needed to ensure it does not happen again.”

That would require a new President.

Linda is sprinting to the right 90 miles an hour. But Linda, those of us in your home state have very long memories. You might want to contemplate the word primaried and all that that means.
