Chuck Hagel Talks More Eloquently About Iraq Than 99% of Democrats

[spanone]

I fucking hate to say that, but on CNN he is ripping McCain and bu$h* apart on the war in a way that I've heard few democrats. imho

[madokie]

1. the difference is Chuck knows of what he speaks

he knows what war will do for ones self, trust me on that one ok.

[lazer47]

9. Don't tell nobody, but if Chuck had ran for POTUS

I would have had a hard time voting Dem.

[madokie]

14. I think Chuck has had that moment

where one wakes the fuck up. We all do, just for some its sooner than later and its almost always an about face when its later.:hi:

[Kolesar]

2. I fucking hate to hear that

[spanone]

12. I hated to say it.

[SoCalDem]

3. Why? because he's not RUNNING for office anymore.

When ANY politician has to be "on the record" or is running for office, they turn into mushy-middle, mealy-mouthed liars..

They never want to say anything that "could' cost them a stinking vote..no matter how many people end up dying because of their tentative talk..:grr:

[spanone]

13. hagel has been opposed to this war for a long long time

[global1]

4. Hagel Left A Lot Of Room Open For A Bloomberg/Hagel Ticket In '08.....

think there is any chance that they can run as Independents and be successful?

[SoCalDem]

Nope.. but they would be the "perot ticket" that could damage dems

They could siphon off just enough to put Thompson or 911-iani into the WH..

5. As far as true conservatives go

Hagel isn't bad.
I just can't even consider a vote for one.

[trumad]

6. The guy is a total right wing hack

Being against the war if great... but his ideology is right wing...period.

[madokie]

7. exactly, the only thing Chuck is right on is war

[Horse with no Name]

8. Exactly.

But comparatively speaking, Hagel is better than any of the Republican candidates...as conservatives go.
I would never consider a vote for him.
It seems to get lost sometimes that the enemy of my enemy isn't always my friend. I am reminded of that every time someone starts posting nice things about him.

[madokie]

10. So damn true, I wish that would fit on a bumper sticker

the enemy of my enemy isn't always my friend

[TwilightZone]

11. One issue does not a good candidate make.

He's wrong on pretty much everything else.

[spanone]

15. i didn't advocate voting for him....just saying i wish dems could be so certain on war.

[Horse with no Name]

16. Amen to that.

:(
