Hagel to form third party ? Rumor on Ray Taliafero this morning |
|
The only source I have is what Ray said this morning, around 4 AM EST. I haven't seen anything about Chuck Hagel so far today. Is Hagel really considering a third party ?

The best thing to happen to the Puggies since Ross Perot.

Specifically, he has ties to the Election Systems & Software (ES&S). http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0131-01.htm

3. he is trying to position himself as a 'McCain Moderate' |
|
when he's really - like McCain - quite conservative.

4. I've always hoped something like this would happen. |
|
It makes a lot of sense. The neocon/fundementalists leave them no choice.

8. I look at the Hagels of their party ... |
|
... as people I disagree with and have a very different philosophy than (and would never vote for) ... but, I do NOT view them as "evil and insane" as I do the Chimp, Frist, Santorum and the entire rest of the wing nut crowd.

14. So do I. Enjoy the merchandise, but don't touch. |
|
I have to respect them for speaking out against their peers who put their party above doing what's right for the country.
But I'll never trust another Republican enough to vote for them. I have voted for Republicans in the past, but those days are over.
