I’m glad *some* senators are calling it what it is--
|
“Demogoguery”?
|
Speaking of Demogoguery...
http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/01/24/chuck-hagel-on-fire/
Oh wait, he’s a Republican. I guess his speechifying can’t be considered
that.
As an aside, I agree with everything Hagel stated and consider him a man of
class. I don’t think he was pontificating for the sake of scoring political
points. Nor did I think that Sen. Leahy was doing same. However, John
might disagree...
|
If Hagel votes “yay” for this silly and pointless non-binding resolution,
republicans will throw him under the bus, gahr-un-teed. And that goes for
ANY senator with an R after their name. Even HE knows it, as evidenced by
his own questioning of the viability of his political career by taking his
“stand”.

Why is it silly, in your view? And what does it say about Republicans in
general that they’re willing to oust someone who expresses an opinion that
didn’t come from the party’s marching orders?
Lately Repubs have claimed to have a larger tent than Democrats, on the grounds
that Repubs allegedly tolerate a wider range of views than do the Dems. Well,
we’ll see how big the “R” tent remains after Senators start voicing their
displeasure with Bush’s policies.
Dave!
