Chuck Hagel Punnished For Views on GWB..

[AZGrizFan]

"horrible move" was your choice of words, not mine.
I clearly said Hagel was a "horrible choice". There is a BIG difference between the two.
Maybe this will help you understand (doubtful though). Think of it as if the captain of the opposing team gets to pick a member of your team. The nonathletic geek is a horrible choice, but was a well played move by the opposing captain.

Hope you can get out of that hole, bro...

Graduate of the AZ school of analogies.

Leave me the fuck out of this, goat boy.

I did say it was all about Israel, because it definitely is. Do you think anyone is going to come out and say it? Especially when the deal breaker is going to come not from the right, but the Obama supporters of the Jewish variety who don't like Hagel at all, and with good reason.

McCain might be petulant and he might be mad, but just him and his buddies would not be enough to carry this through based on their beef with Hagel over Iraq and Bush. That's nit picky even for McCain.

The media isn't going to touch the real reason Hagel won't be confirmed and the nomination pulled, because 1) they arent that bright, and 2) it will make the decision to put him up in the first place look all the more silly.

I think you misinterpreted my post. The media strokes the people they like. There are pockets of evenhandedness at CBS and CNN, but by and large the media at large has abrogated its responsibility to hold politician's feet to the fire. Feel free to write CNN with all of your creative ideas with which they can skewer John McCain, I'm sure they will get around to it when the topic is right.

CID1990: Educated. Smart. Well read. Wrong again.


Even McCain thinks he'll get the gig. About half of Republican Senators will vote against against him for not being enough of a saber-rattling jingoist.

Well, Hagel gets cloture tomorrow. At this point, he will get even McCain's vote. Perhaps Hagel was wrong about that Israel lobby, but he is getting an important endorsement from Louis Farrakhan.

The funny thing is the GOP just wasted 12 days for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Good job guys, way to keep the GOP embarrassment streak going.

Say what you want about the prez but he sure knows how to slap the bejesus out of the conks with their own playbook. I think that is what pisses them off more than anything.


This like watching Ali carve up Jerry Quarry.

Nothing embarassing about what the GOP did at all. Obama put up a weak candidate for SECDEF who was disasterous on the 1st day of his hearing.

Democrat former BHO press secretary Robert Gibbs on NBC: “The disconcerting thing, obviously, for anybody that watched it was he seemed unimpressive and unprepared on the questions that, quite frankly, he knew was coming,”

Nothing more embarrassing than usual, anyway. They cave every time because they are gutless and filled with hot air.

It was the closest confirmation vote for any Dec Def ever, and none has ever been stopped by fillibuster. With only 45 votes the Republicans weren't going to stop his nomination. Sounds like BHO is the one who should be embarrassed putting up an unprepared, unqualified candidate. But you donk Obamabots can keep on thinking it is the conks who were embarrassed in this.

Translation: Obama bends conks to his will again.
