Hagel Speech

[MaryAnne]

Hagel just made a speech promising he would do everything possible to protect those in Uniform!

One could not help thinking how McCain,Graham,and all the Cons who voted no will feel if Hagel succeeds in rebuilding the Military McCain and his cronies helped gut with their lie of a war!

 

[jammer]

Hagel has more respect for the enlisted members of our military than all the McCains, Grahams, and other neocons combined. I applaud him being selected to SoD.

McCain and Graham have doomed themselves in the history books to the status of "partisan hacks".

 

[MaryAnne]

I heard a pundit ask if McCain and Graham did not have the disdain of the Officer for the Grunt. think that could be part of the reason?

McCainand Graham had a meeting with Obama. I bet he had trouble not laughing in their faces. I think Hagel will be great. The Brother he saved is a Professor at University Of Dayton. A really good one,admired by most.

What'll be funy is....despite all the hoopla stirred up by Rightwing Media and all the posts from Rightwingers.....within 24 hours of Hagel's confirmation?

They'll have forgotten the whole thing....flushed it down the "memory hole"...and be on to some NEW birght shiny object.....and never even consider how they were irrelevant.

 

[as seen on tv]

mary anne - did he say HOW he was going to do this? without specifics, it sounds like more of the same old BS from both parties. Some people are easily taken in by that . . .

 

[GordonGecko]

You know, ASOT...I really don't think you want to pop into a thread where "Miss" Lindsey Graham is part of the discussion.

Good. That's his job.

I have to say I'm still stunned that McCain and Graham didn't vote for Hagel in the end.

granted, Hagel was the TRUE maverick, and not the fake McCain, for calling out the Iraq war as the blunder it was and Bush one of our worst presidents.

Hagel is a level headed man,who has been in business,and had the courage to speak out on wrongs once he realized what was wrong. I would respect a man like that,no matter what party he is from.

As to the question of how Hagel will do, you have to learn what is going on before you can give details! The man was just voted on yesterday,thanks to MCCain and his bunch who have lost all sense of decency. He will do just fine!

Ants chasing a crumb?

One Republican who will make you proud,CB! Maybe a future Presidential Candidate for your party?
