Hagel is a progressive globalist. He ran as a Republican only to get elected. Any “Republican” that takes a job with the Food Stamp President’s administration is sure to be of similar ilk.

More and more it is looking to me like Obama picked this fight so that he could press Harry Reid to pull the trigger on the nuclear option and end Senate filibusters.

Hagel is among some 300 international and national public figures supporting the group’s stated goal of seeking “the elimination of all nuclear weapons.”

300 very stupid people. If every nation said, "Yep, yep, no nukes here," how could you know for sure they were telling the truth.

RR got it 100% right: Trust, but verify.

I'm telling ya, none of this matters if the Republican's really don't want (the drunk) Hagel to be SecDef.

They need to play up the homophobic and anti-gay remarks he's made over the years because frankly that is all the MSM will care about, if they will care about anything.

You mean to tell me they only are objecting to this because they have bases in their states????

What about the other senators? What about disarming America?

Hagel is an insane leftist (like Obama).
