When then the hell with him. History remembers how the men of the Civil War era stood on the question of preserving the Union, not tariff revision.
I'm sure that there were some Royalists who were good on tax cuts during the Revolution too.
As far as I'm concerned, the war is a make or break issue. If you're for the war, you're on my side. If you're not, you're on the other side. I'd side with a pro-war gay pot-smoking hedonist (an American Pim Fortyun, if you will) before I'd stand alongside some of these anti-war "conservatives."
...as is your right.....you sound upset....I just said Hagel votes Republican on most issues....nothing more, nothing less......but he hates how this war is run....I wouldn't even call him anti war...I'd call him anti-Iraq War....
