An attempt by Senate Democrats to push through their controversial nominee for defense secretary, former Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., failed today on a 58-40 vote as Republicans said they havent been given answers to their questions.
Among his opponents are 14 retired U.S. admirals and generals, including high-profile names such as Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin and Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely. Hagel has endorsed subjecting the U.S. to the U.N.s International Criminal Court, and hes sat on the board of numerous globalist groups promoting U.S. funding for the Third World.

Few Americans knew that until shortly before the election, Hagel had been chairman of the company whose computerized voting machines would soon count his own votes: Election Systems & Software (then called American Information Systems). Hagel stepped down from his post just two weeks before announcing his candidacy. Yet he retained millions of dollars in stock in the McCarthy Group, which owned ES&S. And Michael McCarthy, the parent companys founder, was Hagels campaign treasurer, the report said.
Remember seeing a recent post suggesting Hagel's nomination was payback to 0 for the recent election *results*.
I would say that Hagel is a huge pile of excrement, but he’s not that tall.
If the GOP isn’t smart enough to rig an election, Chuck Hagel damn sure isn’t. Typical WND conspiracy bullcrap.
is the head of the Republican in the Senate a spineless pansy who’s scared to fight? Of course he’ll get the nomination. Look at what the Dem’s did to John tower back in ‘89.
