Hagel IN; Another Obama VICTORY!!

[Katzndogz]

Hagel will help obama destroy the defense department. Then Hagel will be blamed because he's a republican. But, the most important thing is, the defense department will be destroyed. At that point, it doesn't matter who attacks us, Iran, North Korea, or both acting in concert. The damage will already be done.

Yes, yes, I understand that Republicans don't want to use the word "filibuster."
Sorry - when you require 60 votes for cloture - that's a filibuster.

Trying to claim that anilmal with wings, flying into your tree and building a nest isn't a bird (and that sort of crap) is why Republicans are held in such low regard at this point.

Filibustering a cabinet nominee for the first time in U.S. history and then not even being able to articulate why, sure doesn't help either.

 

[Katzndogz]

True, they should have articulated the reasons why, such as Hagel will help obama destroy the defense department.

If they believe that, then they have betrayed America by ending their filibuster.

20 Republicans voted for cloture....There was no filibuster. Get your head out of your ass

When most people find themselves in a hole - they quite digging.
Vulgarities aside, the fillibuster was broken. Thank goodness.

Of course there was.
The party just finally realized how stupid and indefensible it was - so they switched gears and are trying to cram that genie back into the bottle.

Toady posters here are trying to carry that flag.

Not really. The filibuster was never meant to stop his confirmation for good. It was only meant to be a temporary block. Even when republicans first blocked him they said it would only be for a week.

 

[Sarah G]

Yes, Hagel in and once again McCain and Lindsey look stupid.

 

[UKRider]

There was never really any doubt in my mind that Hagel would assume the position. This is President Obama's second term to make or break. The fuss has been raised so that Hagel's moves can be more readily attacked by the GOP.

Hagel's moves will be President Obama's moves and Kerry is also President Obama's man full on man. These years will show what President Obama intends to do with Foreign Policy when Congress is reticent on fiscal policy.

Whatever anyone wants to say about President Obama, he has won his second term and he's come in with a forceful one. It attacks the Republicans on many fronts like a world war on Republicanism. So yeah, the Republicans are one angry bunch.

President Obama's second term dance has begun, he's not one to sit and do nothing. He is an organizer and he's organizing a furry. Outside of legislation. Watch for legislation in year 3 & 4. By then he might well have worn the Republican party out.

Yeah, he's got term 2 figured out. He might not get everything he wants, but he's not getting on the plan, he's on his plan.

So they have. That's just what they did. It was really worse than that. They didn't come out and tell the truth of why Hagel was chosen in the first place.

Well if we only had some real principled conservatives to stand up to Obama and lay out to the American people what real conservatism is all about. Sadly all we have is a few, the rest of the Republican Party are nothing but establishment bureaucrats easy pickings for Obama

Well, you have a point.

Conservatism isn't principled. It's about getting poor people upset about bullshit issues so they vote against their own economic interests.

It's why abortion is still legal but rich people got their tax cuts.

You must be on Obama's payroll..or you're just that stupid...on a side note do you get paid for posting here? closing in on 27,000 posts in a year and a 1/2!!....unreal!!

The fact that you changed the subject shows you can't answer the point.

Also, I've always found it amusing that you really think the Democrats (or the Republicans for that matter) pay people to post on a bulliten board with maybe 40K members and only a couple hundred that read regularly.

Now, to the point- let us look at the unholy alliance between the wealthy and the religious tools in this country.

The Wealthy got tax cuts, they got free trade, they got "Right to Work" and "At Will Employment". They got massive deregulation that allowed them to loot the banks and savings of most Americans.

So what did the religious whacks get?

Abortion is still legal.
School Prayer is still banned.
Your kids are still being taught about evolution.
Your kids are still being given condoms.
Gay marriage is legal in 10 states now. Maybe soon the whole country.

See the problem, here, or are you kind of dense?

Give him a break. He can't keep a job, lives in a shit hole and has nothing else to do.

Prague is anything but a shit hole. The women here don't look like livestock either.

 

[Freewill]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Hagel is a Republican Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa idiots.

The liberal left has become so damn desperate for ANYTHING good to come out of the vacation president they will even crow about Republicans voting for a Republican. You people are just too much. The whole issue about Hagel wasn't so much about him but it was about Obama and company lying and hiding information about Benghazi.

So it seems that the liberal left wing is so desperate no matter what the Republicans do the left has nothing good to say. I don't blame them considering there is nothing going on in the country that is good, and it is all their fault.

Sure crow about an appointment that means nothing. Crow about Obama getting away with the deaths in Benghazi. Crow about Obama killing American citizens. Then go buy gas, I'll bet then you blame Republicans. So now Israel can feel just a little less secure and when they are attacked I wonder how that will be blamed on Republcians.
