An affirmative action hire for the mentally insane.

I have a longstanding personal commitment to observe that former Senator Hagel is an imbecile of the first order. Having him a Sec Def will be a string of imbecilities, possibly leading to military catastrophy. In short, a natural fit for Obama’s cabinet.

“” Hagal is the VERY Definition of “RINO”! “”

What Hagal is for sure is a big time mogul in the vote counting machine business...Its a fact..! Maybe, just maybe, this is the big payoff...??

Although he started off as a very liberal Republican, Panetta never served in office as a Republican. He worked for the ultraliberal RINO CA U.S. Senator Tom Kuchel (who was defeated in the 1968 GOP primary), then in Nixon’s HEW Department before working for the execrable RINO-turned-Democrat NYC Mayor Lindsay. Panetta then ran for office as a Democrat, defeating GOP Congressman Burt Talcott in 1976.

Wow.. that dredged up an old memory... wasn't it Max Rafferty who took him out in the primary?

Yup. And then a lot of the GOP establishment was loathe to support Rafferty, who then lost to the execrable Alan Cranston. Had Kuchel won renomination and reelection, he would’ve become Republican Senate Leader upon Everett Dirksen’s death in September 1969 (as he had been Minority Whip since Dirksen was elevated in 1959 after Bill Knowland made his ill-advised attempt to switch offices with Gov. Goodwin Knight).

As bad as we think of our RINOs today, we had a real motley crew of ultra-Socialist Republican Senators in those days (Kuchel, Brooke, Mathias, Case, Javits, et al), some voting identical to or even to the left of the most far-left Democrats (such as Ted Kennedy, who was at least pro-life in the early days).

It bothers me that these traitor swine give the dark lord Obama the veneer of “bipartisanship”.

You take a job from Obama and you were never a real Republican, period. No position is non-partisan, quite the opposite, defense is hyper-partisan these days.
