There's something about McPain having to admonish a RINO for not supporting the President that makes me very concernted about the senate GOP leadership.

[zarf]

I would vote for Hillary before Hagel. Hell, I'd vote for Kerry before Hagel.

Hagel is a supremely annoyng and irresponsible asswipe.

[silent_jonny]

makes me very concernted about the senate GOP leadership.

They're all RINOs.

[bill1952]

Admittedly, I don't follow Hagel very closely, but if McCain is slapping him down, then the guy has to be a major horse's azz.

[DoughtyOne]

McCain admonishing just about anyone gives me cause to pause.

[evad]

"I would vote for Hillary before Hagel. Hell, I'd vote for Kerry before Hagel."

Aw come on.

[Callahan]

Here's hoping that McCain and Hagel argue with eachother until they burn up all the available oxygen in the room and both asphyxiate.

[atlanta67]

Many people here blindly put McCain and Hagle together as similar RINOS..but they are further apart on idealogy than just about any two GOP senators.

McCain:
Foerign Policy: He is as reliable a hawk as one can get. Supports war in Iraq and says attacking Iran cannot be ruled out. His criticism of the war is that we arent fighting hard enough

Domestic Policy: Huge RINO

Hagle
Domestic Policy: has supported ALL the President's initiatives, supports judges, not part of the gang of 14, supported all tax cuts, and opposes increases in federal spending. Quite conservative

Foreign Policy:
As bad if not worse than Kofi Annan


People here often have blind hate for both McCain and Hagel they dont stop to analyse these tow men. they are quite different.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

I would vote for Hillary before Hagel.

That's exactly why this paradigm is being floated.

[DoughtyOne]

Heh heh heh...

[Reagan Man]

McCain and Hagel... maverick troublemaker and pure buzzard puke.

[DoughtyOne]

There is some truth in what you say. I'm not denying it.

Unfortunately John loves to suck all the oxygen out of the room, focusing attention on himself instead of the polices of his president. More often that not, John has some tweak in his delivery that damns Bush policy at least in part.

I will never vote for the guy. If the RP every runs this schmuck for president, they can do it without my vote.

I admit he's not as bad as some, but IMO there are a lot better people than he to lead.

[Oldsailor]

What ever would work to show both of these very ambitious pols for what they are.

Hagel is so out of touch with Nebraska people that he couldn't be elected to anything right now.....but I don't think he cares about that either.

[DoughtyOne]

LoL

Had Senator McCain not been savagely lied about and egregiously attacked by the spin squad in S. Carolina in the 2000 primary he would have achieved the GOP nomination and won the general election. He would have handled the 9-11 attack more effectively and efficiently and, if Iraq were again a target, something that's debateable, he would have handled the campaign like a warrior, listened to Gen. Schencki (sp) and we'd be gone by now with an efective civil government in place. We now live with a serious mistake and a failed Middle East foreign policy.

It was in S.C. where the Rove spin miesters convinced the local folks to vote against their own personal interests as the present administration intoned the rubric to the large military population that 'help was on the way.' Help indeed arrived only if one deems a large force reduction and poorly micromangaging as well as understaffing and ill-equipping an expeditionary force fully engaged in a shoot-out to constitute 'help.'

A tutorial from one backstabber to another.

[OldFriend]

WRONG WRONG WRONG

[FOXFANVOX]

You are right. There's a lot of irony here.

[FOXFANVOX]

My Friend: I AGREE, AGREE, AGREE with you.

McLame was right to admonish Hagel. But, let's not start talking about voting for Hillary. McLame only stated the obvious. He's real good at that. Our Republican will be elected in the primaries, and these primaries are going to be very important. We'll do just fine, trust the force Luke!
