We need more RINO's and moderates instead of the far right wackos and religious nuts.

Excellent Choice! Chuck hagel is a man who puts America first. He offers straight answers to tough questions. If you haven't read his book, "America: Our Next Chapter" - Do so - You'll see what I mean.

I thought the Republicans were at the end of their line and that no Republican would ever be voted in again!! Like I said .... this bad PR sh*t lasts about one day! Onward to 2014.

As an Obama voting Republican Chuck Hagel has my vote. I thought he was a good moderate Senator with an independent streak. This is why I like the President. He makes sound decisions.

For all of you who are excited about Hagel because he is a Republican, think again. Use to be a good Republican. Now he is a very liberal figure and is not well respected in his own State. he's been in Obama's back pocket for a few years and if you want someone who thinks like Obama, then he's the right person. For those of us who would like a person who was willing to be more representative of the country, this is not the right person. By the way, I am from Nebraska and voted for him on several occasions. Not anymore.................................

A very smart choice if the media is correct in their assumptions.

But where is the diversity? Shouldn't it have been a Gay, Black Woman? Isn't there enough of the pasty old white men in office?

So, how long before Rush calls him a RINO?

And, I can't help remember the skit on Chapelle about the Blind black Racial Purity leader who, when he discovered he was black, divorced his wife for being a N-word lover.

Excellent choice. Hagel has enough fiscal sense to trim enough waste from the pentagon that the fiscal cliff cuts won't matter.

Oh no, not Hagel! Doesn't Obama know that Hagel is not hand chosen by AIPAC? That Hagel is against Israeli extremists - also known as "settlers" - who are attempting to settle all of East Jerusalem and the West Bank? Hopefully, all GOP members will stop this end around by a politician not owned by the Zionist Movement.

Let's just hope Hagel doesn't turn out to be another Donald Rumsfeld.

Chuck Hegal is dumber than the dirt they farm in Nebraska. Claiming Chuck Hegal represents a bipartisan choice is farsical. The two term senator from Nebraska is as good a choice to head up the Pentagon as anyone who has served in the past twenty years, but that's not saying a whole bunch.

It doesn't matter to me who sits in that chair, but I'd prefer you smirked while you lied than try and pass stupid past me with a striaght face.

Chuck Hagel is a good man who left the senate on his own and he is a fair person who isn't a lock step republican by any means. Great decision to choose him.

If I was him I wouldn't take it. Republicans hold Huntsman in contempt because he accepted an appointment to be the ambassador to China. Who needs that kind of grief from anyone. Particularly someone like Hagel who has always served his country well. Most of these people on both sides have never done anything to serve the country except pay taxes and when they are afraid they will be increased 3 or 4% they act like they have been gut shot.

Military experience in the GOP ?

hahahahaha...the party of CHICKEN-HAWKS ?

make us laugh with another one palzee

Chuck Hagel wouldn't be a bad choice, not at all. However I for one would have liked to see either Gen. Wes Clark (Ret) or Gen. Colin Powel (Fmr. Secty of State) for the post of Sec. Def.. All three men have the exp. NO doubt about it. However I believe that the two retired Generals have the inside exp. to deal with shaping the military for the future.

Rednecks will vehemently oppose and filibuster, no matter who is nominated for whatever post, even if it's Mitt Romney !!

Susan Rice resigns but MSNBC doesn't have an attached Newsvine blog for that article...I wonder how they decide which articles are Newsvine worthy?

I say fire all the greedy bastards. Shut the doors, lock the chains, close it all down. Then do the same for the states. People power

Lindsey Graham and the senile John McCain must be rejoicing about their "high tech lynching" of Susan Rice. These mediocre bastards aren't worth a dime when matched against Ambassador's Rice career, including McCain's years as prisoner of war. He left whatever honor he had at the Hanoi Hilton and chose to attack Ms. Rice even before she was nominated. What could be his motivation other then sour grapes and , yes, race. Ambassador Rice is not the first black official on the Obama Admin. who's been ferociously attacked by the right. Condi Rice got a chance to get a hearing and was confirmed by both Dems and Reps. Her claim of "mushroom cloud" eclipses whatever Susan Rice did or didn't do. Condi had been Nat'l Sec advisor to Pres. Bush and was privy to intel reports (they were conflicting) and supported the deadly Iraqi war.The new American Nazi Party (GOP) wouldn't give Amb. Rice that courtesy.

As for Graham, the coward closeted Log Cabin Senator's claim to fame, was his despicable performance during President Clinton's impeachment hearings as one of the GOP managers. What a sorry POS he's turned out to be. He also left the code of honor he swore to uphold while in the service the minute he joined poltics and attached himself to MsCain. They'll pay for their cowardly act. Hopefully some Tea Party nut will mop the SC fields with his ass on the primaries. Senator, you have no backbone and simply lowered yourself to appease the nuts in your party. Hope you lose big time.

Get the best people in the administration regardlessof their party affiliation

He was chosen because there really isn't anyone on the left who is qualified...
