Gotta love Cheney's style. Simple and direct to the point.

[bray]

Wonder how he plans on Funding that Presidential Campaign?? $0R0$???

Pray for W and Our Troops

[WalterSkinner]

Well, I'm vice president and they're not

..I love Cheney

If he were in better health--no doubt in my mind who to support...

Something is deeply wrong with Hagel, and methinks it is called 'ego'. Something he places above his party, above our military and especially above our entire nation.

Guess ol Hagel enjoys the press attention-and has learned that the only way to get it from the major news media at CBS, NBC, ABC and NPR and MSNBC and CNN is to betray and dis your President as well as your own party.

Those liberal, biased and blatantly unfair press groups LOVE any Republican who shows the betrayals Hagel has, they eat it up and ego driven folks like Hagel bask in this pseudo wooing.

Hagel is a Republican look alike but is really a democrat

Those who want to understand what makes hagel, hagel, you only have to look at the former Senator from Nebraska, George Norris. Norris was a progressive nut who opposed the Conservative Republican Harding and Coolidge administrations. He flirted with supporting LaFollette, the progressive nominee for POTUS in 1912. Hagel thinks he's the reincarnation of the leftist progressive, George Norris.

Schmegel is NOT a presidential candidate.

Total JOKE candidate, wouldn't even reach Nader type numbers, is literally polling at 1% (rounding up)... yet because he is bashing Bush, he gets that attached to his name in every story.

Typical.

[geezerwheezer]

Because Sen. Hagel is free to speak his mind, and continually belittles our President's policies in Iraq and elsewhere, we ought to feel free to speak our minds about Sen. Hagel too. I think he is less than smart, opportunistic, selfish, and trying to make his bones off of another. His rhetoric is less than candid, his rancor is most annoying, and he is not a person of good character in my opinion. I have a better chance to be POTUS than that P.O.S. will ever have.

Hagel, a potential presidential candidate

So are Chris Dodd and Al Sharpton, but that doesn't mitigate their lack of credibility either.

[kitkat]

CHUCK HAGEL! The next time Hagel runs for re-election, I hope all you Nebraska voters remember that he co-sponsored the non-binding resolution to criticise the President sending more troops to Iraq. If you have any of your kids already fighting over there, remember that Hagel would happily sacrifice their lives to his own political gain by not giving them reinforcements.

And he wants to run for president.

[Colonel PK]

Vice President Cheney cuts through the BS faster than a Ginsu knife. Carry a BIG stick and SPEAK softly.

[dufekin]

Vice President Cheney, Hagel's vote on this defining issue of our times makes him a "Democrat," not a RINO. The vote next week will reveal approximately 65 Democrats in the Senate, Lieberman not among them, along with 30 RINOs and perhaps 5 Republicans. Anyone counting on Mitch McConnell's senate to stop the Pelosi legislative train wreck almost certainly will suffer serial disappointment. Our only hope lies in the House Republicans holding together and attracting a handful of ostensibly conservative Democrats to interfere in the legislative process.

Most Senators generally are beneath contempt. Comparing them unfavorably with pond scum would offend the latter, which actually serves a useful purpose in its ecosystem. We expect Democrats to take the side of the enemy. We can reason that many recent defectors to the dark side are terminally spineless cowards afraid that any support for victory would not endear them to defeatist constituencies, although this rationale does not excuse their sedition.

But Chuck Hagel clearly ranks as the worst Senator, his siding with the enemies of the United States both inexcusable and inexplicable. He represents Nebraska, where his ideological partner John F. Kerry won a grand total of zero counties in the tenth consecutive trouncing of liberal Democrats in presidential elections. The people of Nebraska should welcome him home to real America with an embarrassing defeat in any primary hereafter held to restore their state to its former glory and greatness.

[elhombrelibre]

Hagel is an empty suit who offers no ideas other than his own vain vanities. It's a sign of our times that this walking horse laugh is able to get so much time in front of a camera to say essentially nothing.

[bushfamfan]

If only Cheney was President and Bush was veep. Cheney is the man!

[Rosemont]

As bad as Carlito Hagel is on this issue, he is even worse on illegal immigration. Hagel will do or say anything to get favorable CNN coverage. His 'bipartisan' lovefest TV appearances with Joe Biden are really tough to stomach.

Cheney/Steele 2008

[Tarpon]

Why doesn't Bush respond. The new tone doesn't work. Until the Democrat-media cabal dies off, it's got to viewed as outright war with the donks, and the dumb rhinos.
