Who could have imagined in 2004 that a Republican senator would get away with this?
he's just a typical RINO. He ran as a R because he couldn't be elected as a D. Now he can't be elected as an R anymore either.
At one time the Nebraska delegation was ENTIRELY R's. It's a conservative state. No WAY Hagel would get relected there knowing him as the people of NE do now.
Look--the only reason Hagel exists is that he is a Kerry-veteran and the media keep his pathetic balloon inflated. Let this be a lesson to all-- the fact of having served in the military entitles one to respect, but in no way should be taken as meaning anything about the veteran's wisdom or judgment. An awful lot of veterans, like every other population group, have sh*t for brains-- and Hagel is one of them.
