The 60th vote: Republican Richard Shelby to vote for cloture on Hagel; Update: Deb Fischer too? posted at 2:01 pm on February 21, 2013 by Allahpundit And so, after days of accusations about what Hagel did or didn’t say at Rutgers Israeli control of the State Department, and despite the nominee’s refusal to let reporters pick through his archives, this guy’s actually gaining votes in the Senate rather than losing them.
I understand the argument that the president deserves deference in his cabinet picks, even if I don’t agree with it in this case. But if we’re going to cave, can we at least not sugarcoat Hagel’s incompetence? This is pure garbage from Shelby:

Hello back! Right now, hubby and I are in our overseas home. Yes, we are well. Hubby just spent two weeks in a remote location discipling 10 of our high school students. I am teaching 6 and 7 Bible. Pray for one of our students especially. The family follows another, quite peaceful, religion. Pray I present Jesus winsomely.
You will be remembered in my prayers, Jemian. I cannot think of anyone who can present our bible and Jesus better than you. Prayers for you and your family.
We should focus on someone like Lindsey Graham. If you can not convince your fellow republipussies to hold you are responsible based on your previous actions. If Hagel is confirmed you are done Lindsey. We all need to send a message. Focusing on a Rupublipussy like Graham might be what is needed

“Glad to see the Stupid Party holding feet to the fire........suckers. “
Is the Stupid Party even an accurate title anymore? It’s more like the Suicide Party.
Shelby is an embarrassment to Alabama. He was a dim who jumped parties when he saw he could no longer win as a dim in this state. He is a puke. When he runs, I refuse to vote for him.
To stab it, they have to have some grasp of it.
Anyway, the debate isn’t about what Hagel did or didn’t say, but about what he remembers saying. Did he recently have a “concussion”?
Why do you think the press has no access. He will never be openly questioned on tv. Never.
Not that any have the guts to ask him anyway, but they know that one could slip in.
As an alabamian i am ashamed but not totally surprised. Shelby is a former democrat turned moderate republican Not an olympia snowe type RINO but RINO nonetheless on many things and not to be trusted. I have no idea why he gets reelected alongside a conservative like jeff sessions. He is entrenched I supposed like many others.
