I’m not surprised that Johanns is pro (or that old bull Cochran) given that’s he’s from Nebraska.
What’s that you say Lady Carnahan voted against Ashcroft? Oh well we can’t be impolite like the dimmies.
That is another one of the double standards. Whenever some supposedly "solid conservative" GOP Senator votes to confirm a marxist from their home state (Johanns for Hagel, Brownback for Selibus, etc.) the excuse from Republicans is that it would be impolite for them to go against a "colleague" from their home state. Yet the RAT Senators have no problem vehemently opposing Republicans from their home state and the media never bats an eyelash.
>> My feeling is, he’s doing the right the thing for a change, I don’t really care why. Hagel as SecDef= Bill Clinton as Secretary of Moral Values I welcome the support of pro-Israel libtards in working to defeat this pig. <<
Fieldmarshaldj has a good point that liberals against Hagel might actually be opposing him because he's not liberal ENOUGH for them, including Mark Kirk (Kirk had no problem gushing over anti-American nominees from Obama that were much worse than Hagel!) I remember similar actions when several RAT Senators were actually opposing RINOs Christie Todd Whitman and Gale Norton because they weren't liberal ENOUGH for envirowackos.I wish some Republicans Senators had joined the RATs in opposing those nominees, regardless of how screwed up the RATs motivations were.
