>> Chuck Hagel isn't a paleocon. He's a simple opportunist, just like McCain.

Chuck Hagel is a leftist masquerading as a republican. He was for an attack on Iraq in 1998 during the Clinton administration (as was Kerry and other leftists), and he was opposed to an attack during the Bush administration.

Which proves my point, not yours -- he's an opportunist, taking positions so as to give him a "maverick" reputation, without regard to ideology.
