Subscribe to RSSAmericans for a Strong Defense, a Republican-leaning group that opposes former GOP Sen. Chuck Hagel's nomination to be defense secretary, is airing new TV ads hitting Hagel in four states where Democratic senators are up for re-election in 2014.
The four states: Alaska (where Sen. Mark Begich is up for re-election next year), Arkansas (Sen. Mark Pryor), Colorado (Sen. Mark Udall), and Louisiana (Sen. Mary Landrieu).
"Barack Obama’s nominee for secretary of defense wants America to back down," one of these ads goes. "An end to our nuclear program. Devastating defense cuts. A weaker country. Call Mark Begich and tell him to say no to Chuck Hagel –- before it’s too late."
A spokesman for Americans for a Strong Defense says the ad buy is "significant," and the advertisements will air on broadcast and cable in these four states.

Talk about having money to burn...
They spent 300 million dollars in 2012 and lost even more seats in the Senate! lol
BOO Freakin HOOO!
Exactly how many nuclear WMD's do we need to blow up this planet?
The politics of fear... WIth its leg humped rotten by the right wing, is all the cling-ons can understand. They have no interest in America at all. Cry about spending and beat the drums of war at the same time? How about you just dont welch on what you already spent?
While you're at it, set the torch to your quasi-organizations interfering in American politics for you while you claim not to be affiliated. Your party is hopping around on one leg as it is, no sense in letting the amateurs "help".
And the sleaze of the far right just keeps going. You would think, since they got a real thumping in November, that they would try to work WITH this administration but I see the politics of obstruction and hate still control the far right.
I hope each of those senators wipe the floor with their competition and put the Republican party in the garbage heap where they belong!
btw... That's "Merkins" for a strong defense... Has nothing to do with real Americans.
I say YES to Chuck Hagel and I will be letting my senator Mark Begich aware of this! I like that my senator does respond when he is asked questions via his FB page. I have had two direct responses from him, and I have met him twice.

So again we have organizations believing less in their position and more in their method of trying to accomplish what they want.
Or let me put it differently...when the President wants to do something he is supposed to garner national support and bring all parties involved together and not be partisan blah, blah, blah...but folks like this only have to present their position to States where Democrat Senators in red leaning States are up for reelection?
So in the end, we call him partisan and lay blame at his feet as to why the Congress is not able to function?
Guess the group running the ads are ignoring that the GOP voted YEA for all those defense cuts they now bemoan. They can't be too bright because a majority of Americans, including a good share of republicans think the military needs a budget haircut. I'd think the right would prefer a republican do the cutting rather than a democrat but then logic is not their long suit.
Jody - "logic is not their strong suit." That suit isn't even in their closet!
So, the Krazy TeaGOP is attacking a Traditional Republican.
Hmmmm.
Guess which one will lose?
You Teapartypoopers keep getting smaller and smaller in America's rear view mirror.
Salud
I really thought the push back to Hagel would come from Democrats, after all, this guy is yet another Republican being giving a cabinent post, but nooooo, it's the lunatic Right. Unbelieveable.
chick binder, So pushing gramma off the cliff during last election cycle didn't worry anybody?
Amy - Democratic support for Hagel shows the Democrats are willing to work with Republicans. The GOP however would throw their own children over a cliff if Obama tried to appoint one to a post. It's amazing how low the GOP has fallen. I think they're just about at the bottom of whatever place it is they go!
Republicans at this point don't like anyone. Stay tuned, the likes of ozzieyo1 and the Jaded One in Albany will soon be at each others throat. One big childish death spiral of hated. These characters are throwing lions to the christians.
Fiesty...
I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw the headline and then read the story.
If anyone thinks there isn't too much money in politics they're out of their minds.
Pretty disgusting...
Backing down? haha Republicans sure like to talk war.
Seeking . . .
Great comment! Made my morning!
Amy, Just to be fair I would like to point out that the commercials in the tri-state area against Chuck Hagel have been coming from the far-left. They have been brutal attacks and I have seen them over and over. I happen to think he's a good choice.
Layton - I'm so glad. My morning has been going to the office only to come home and wait for the plumber - frozen pipes! UGH!!!
Lisa s - that's surprising since I haven't heard ANY Democratic congressmen or women who have spoken against him. However sleazy McCain has been rearing his head every chance he gets!
Seeking Sanity, The commercials have been coming from Jewish Organizations and the Lesbian and Gay community.
So Lisa...it sounds like the very far left and the very far right don't like him. Sounds pretty perfect to me then!!! :-)
Seeking ... sorry about your pipes! It's crazy cold here too and I worry about that!
Frank, I couldn't agree more. Have a Happy New Year.
Layton - when I woke up this morning it was 0. Hasn't warmed up a lot. Oh well, it's winter in Chicago! Just have to be a little more careful and let the water drip!
Go ahead and let them waste their money........
Seeking -
You should have the plumber put heat tape on your pipes. It's real easy all he has to do is crawl under the trailer and wrap it and plug it in.
JK couldn't resist. Hope none of them burst. That is a real biatch. Good luck!1
The GOP has been known to eat their own. Look at this article.

"chick binder, So pushing gramma off the cliff during last election cycle didn't worry anybody?"
Which Grandma and which cliff Harriet? Apparently you were as up to speed then on the difference between truth and the republican mind-set as you remain today... BTW... Being consistent is good, being consistently falsely equivalent is not. See the difference? If not, try looking at it this way... Comparing things that were averted to things that actually happen shows a lack of thinking skills.
Any comment made about Ryans budgetary proposals that made any real American citizen fear the results of such assinine repugnican theories finding advancement was a public service. In republican politics, the fears are baseless and are whipped into frenzy simply to attempt to maintain control of the fragmented remains of their ignorantly servile base. In your case, it seems to work flawlessly... BOO!
Talk - nice slam but even those who live in trailers are too smart for the GOP. Nope my ground unit just wasn't insulated well when they built it. They're having to fix their mistakes now.
But, since that worked for your trailer, I'm sure it will work for a building too! JK Thanks! And, it's already beginning to thaw so I think we avoided the "bursting."
Wasn't a slam, totally a joke. I was just trying to lighten up the banter between us since the last nasty go around. Never thought you lived in a trailer. And it did bring back a memory or two. I did own a trailer once. Back in the mid 70's at the ripe old age of 22 (and married a bit too early). Back then it was cheap housing and better than rent. Even though is was a "trailer" it was a good starting point (only) to experience "home" ownership. Sold it 4 years later and have owned actual homes since.
All this talk of frozen pipes and temperatures around zero is making me really happy I live in Florida!! :-)
Stay warm all and good luck Seeking!! :-)
Talk & Frank - thank you.
Guys a gunman just shot 3 in Texas on a college campus. When the hell does this stop? And, you can bet the students were packin heat in Texas!
Okay I was partially right. It was a shootout between two gunmen and students were caught in the crossfire. Wow! The NRA will be SOOOOOO proud!
"Americans for a Strong Defense"
=======
You have to chuckle at some of these names....such simple words with such complex meanings.
What exactly constitutes an 'American'? Are the Americans those who only want the strong defense and are those who allegedly don't want a strong defense still considered Americans or something else? For instance, can I still be a patriot if I don't belong to the local Tea Party association? They seem to have ownership of that status according to Fox.
What exactly constitutes 'strong'? Is having a 20 of something strong (volume)..or is having 10 do something better than the previous 20 strong (more efficient)?
lisa s -
To be honest, I don't consider the Jewish lobby to be left. They're more right-wing than most, actually. They just appear left because they aren't Christian.
Also, my guess is that it's not really an LGBT organization running those ads. Last I heard, it was Log Cabin Republicans running those "too little, too late" ads against Hagel for the remarks he made 15 years ago, that he has apologized for. And, as anyone knows, LCR is not about LGBT rights, they're about selling out for the money and power. Definitely NOT a left-wing group.
What is wrong with the GNOP? If Obama said it was daytime they would impeach him. It is night somewhere.
If our president nominated Jesus Christ the Tbags would buy nails.
I think that we ought to throw as many GOP'ers to war as we can. I think that anyone spouting off about how much they like war should be kidnapped, tossed into a van, a parachuted over their favorite war zone with a pack, a gun, and a coupla' MRE's. Then we should tell them to fight their way back to the USA. We could take bets on who gets back first.
Americans for never-ending foreign intervention, the military industrial complex, and corporatism oppose Chuck Hagel.
Not that I think Mr. Hagel is the answer to all those issues, but it is amazing to me that during a time when public opinion on military intervention is at an all-time low, this group would consider it a good idea to put out an commercial like this.
No surprise here. The pro-Israel lobby (otherwise known as "Americans for a Strong Defense") has a lot of money to throw around.
Lisa/Janstince,
Those Log Cabin Republicans are indeed, queer. They are like republican welfare recipients They vote for the party working feverishly against their best interests.
Sounds like the chicken hawk's are squawking again. None of them have ever served, yet they have no trouble sending your kids off to war so the big defense industry can clean up on the profits.. Typical of them.
My stance is that any Congressman or woman who votes for war should know THEIR children will be the first ones sent to fight and will be right on the front lines. My guess is we would probably think a lot harder before we vote for war!
And look at how well that investment in one Willard "Mitt" Romney paid out the dividends, lmao!
Who would have thought you see the republican party eat one of their own. Get the popcorn out. Mr Hagel its time to change parties. Vietnam Veterans still get no respect!
SS, you're opening the door to the rwnj asylum. They'll let you know in no uncertain terms, that it wasn't George W Bush who initiated the war in Iraq, but the Democratic congress. Little do they know, that's a bigger lie than the one Dubya/Cheney/Rumsfeld used to get us in there, lol.
"Americans for a Strong Defense" is really "CEOs for Defense Contract Handouts to Build Junk the Pentagon Doesn't Need or Want".
Jantince, I was not referring to the print ads by the LCR I was referring to the commercials by the group "Use your Mandate" check it out on The Huffington Post.
Yup, two ignoramuses got into an argument....both pulled weapons.....wounded each other it seems, and as fate would predictably/unfortunately have it, ....wounded an innocent!
Wild wild west........
chilled - now who didn't see that one coming? Oh, wait, that would be the NRA!
Chilled,
I said a couple of weeks ago, this mentality reminds me of "Gyp" Rosetti's classic line last season on Boardwalk Empire;
One of thee best shows on TeeVee! ;o)
Seeking & Feisty......
This is Gov Oops Perrys', (soon to be the Republic of Texas)....State! Secede!...Oh, wait, I gotta' get to the nearest post office, federal building, or installation.....
Intellectually and morally challenged.....everyting is settled with gunfire........
chilled - nope, President Obama said "as much as we'd like to see you leave, that would be a "NO"". I loved that Austin threatened to secede from Texas if Texas seceded from the US!
Fort Sam Houston is much closer, but guess maybe I'll have to roll the 80+ miles north Seeking.....Austin rocks!
The right wing opposition is less about any of Hagel's policies or statements than it is about the party trying to punish a perceived traitor.
Nathan - pretty stupid on their part. First they could have an ally as Secretary of State and 2nd they just look whiney by opposing one of their own.
All you Liberals are really the stupid ones. Obama is not trying to reach across the aisle to the Republicans with this nomination. If you got outside the little boxes you live in, you would know this nomination has nothing to do with this guy being Republican. BTW, Liberals are the absolute worst at the name calling and nastiness. Before you start throwing the stones, you better make sure they don't boomerang on you.
That would be a great reason to nominate and approve Hagel, if he's indeed for those. We need both.
Americans for a Strong Defense seems to want to leave us with a weak economy and bankrupt morals. We know, and ought to seek, better.
Let's see:
Chuck Hagel hates Jews. So does Ahmadinejad.
Chuck Hagel hates gays. So does Ahmadinejad.
Chuck Hagel opposes sanctions on Iran, AND he wants to disarm AMERICA!
That's right, you guessed it; So does Ahmadinejad.
.
.
.
So of course I would want Chuck Hagel as Secretary of Defense...
If I was the president of IRAN!!!
Chuck Hagel loves America (no need to capitalize all the letters of our great country - it stands on its own)
Stay in Israel and let us Americans take care of ourselves.
Oh, and please stop taking our money.
The GOP voting against one of their own. Shows the depths to which they have sunk.
North Korea is saying that they're going to do another nuclear test.
Great, so Chuck Hagel thinks that the U.S. should disarm, while all the lunatics around the world are acquiring nukes!
Another reason to stop this radical isolationist bigot from becoming Secretary of Defense.
OMG! We have the largest defense budget in the entire world. More than all of the countries put together. Why in the world would we need to raise it. We already have more $50M tanks than we need. And conservatives think its OK to raise the defense budget? Just who are the REAL CONSERVATIVES? Buying all the guns you ever wanted sounds pretty LIBERAL too! Is it true the Republicans eat their own? I thought that was the guppies.
This is ridiculous; another bit of proof that the right has just plain lost its senses. When did it become acceptable for a party to run campaign-style attack ads against a cabinet position nominee? What a waste of money because the only people who will pay attention are those who already oppose anyone nominated or anything proposed by President Obama. They're preaching to the choir, and it makes the right look even more radical than a majority of people already think they are.
Oopsie - apparently at that swank GOP summit, they forgot to tell the group to end cannibalism. Of course, given the intelligence of the rank and file GOP these days, it was likely their #1 piece of advice, but what they heard was stop cannabis, or even more likely, they referred to it as the "C" word, leaving them speechless.
I think it is all part of their policy of stall, delay, change the topic of conversation---anything to keep President Obama from addressing his agenda. So every one's focus and energy will be on a confirmation fight over someone who is eminently qualified and should be accepted as the President's choice. This will keep us from the important work we should be doing wear us down. Well, I have news for the GOP---every day more and more people are on to what they are doing and it won't work.
Yes, because more nuclear weapons makes for a stronger defense........(sarcasm...rolls eyes).
Steeler - every time they pull these stunts more and more people are becoming disillusioned with the party. The Republican party is so divided it cannot stand much longer. Young people want nothing to do with it - and even older ones are tiring of their antics.
We all want what is best for the country and just being difficult looks like what it is - obstructionism - nothing more.
Charlie - and yet they do!!!
And yet, look at how many Democrats from 2008 have left their party to become independents...
JK1963 - maybe but they still voted for Obama! Nice try but you so don't get it!
Hey...here's a clue...they only voted for him because he was literally the one running... You completely missed the point that Obama has lost his base of voters from 2008. They have seen how badly Obama has run the country for the last four years and are expressing their choice by moving from the Democratic party to being independents. The Democrats should be very worried in 2016.
JK1963 - no they voted for President Obama because he was the BEST candidate running. He HAS NOT lost his base and in actuality is gaining more supporters. As is the norm, 2nd term election numbers are usually down but both Democrats and Independents voted the President back in. Republicans couldn't even hold their noses and vote for Romney.
The GOP has good cause to worry in 2014 and 2016 as their numbers continue to dwindle and people see them for the divisive group they have become!
As usual you fail to cite any links, so here you go...
You like to live in fantasyland... Obama clearly lost the "fan" base that he had in 2008 and as I said before, that should scare Democrats. You choose to live as a political groupie to Obama that is your choice, but the rest of the world sees the lack of accomplishments Obama has racked up over the last four years. As the previous post a few days ago, it certainly has changed from "hope" to "cope"....
JK1963 - as usual you fail to cite any links. I live in reality. Republicans on the other hand -have absolutely NOTHING but fantasyland - as your post clearly shows!
Seeking...
Had a link posted...gremlins must have eaten it...rest assured, there are more FACTS on the side of my argument, then of course your "CLAIM" to the contrary...
In fact, I've never seen you actually post a link...perhaps all you talk about is through your swiss cheese air head of a brain... Yes...the "seeking" you are looking for is the intellegence you seem to have been shortchanged on...
Oh...another thing...it's awfully tasteless to vote for your own comment...pretty clear sign of low self worth...
JK1963
No Value
rsskjeie,
Even less value...
At least it wasn't some nutty rant about Israel.
Give 'em time, man, just give 'em time.
Da Noid, you're right. They assumed a nutty posture on the world stage all by themselves.
"Hagel kisses babies, and cries at funerals. We have to have a stronger Secretary of Defense"........(sarcasm)
Yes! A stronger Secretary of Defense... Like Donald Rumsfeld, who was assigned to the post by Dick Cheney after he'd been gone in the private sector for two decades... Leaving at the end of the Ford administration after a few years as White House Chief of Staff... and handing the job over to one of his staffers at that time... Dick Cheney!!!
Of course he went on to miss-handle a two-fer worth of wars and retired in disgrace as a sacrificial lamb because pay-backs sometimes ARE a @itch...
You don't even need to make this stuff up...
Youn can bet your bottom dollar this is all about Israel. If america cuts it's defense budget enough, there will be no support for an attack on Iran. We all know how much Israel wants the US to attack Iran.
No more wars for Israel. The war in Iraq was quite enough. It will cost in excess of 3.5 trillion dollars, all paid for with money borrowed from China, with the principle and interest to be paid for by our children.
Support Chuck Hagel for Secretary of Defense.
Here is how they sold the war.
Zionist warmongers like Ken Adelman and the Zionist Washington Post pushed the war in
an editorial titled, “Cakewalk in Iraq.” Jewish supremacists Richard Perle and
Paul Wolfowitz told you that Iraq would “Welcome us as liberators.” Iraq became
the longest war in American history. Here is a report from USA Today: “Pentagon
officials estimated for the first time Wednesday that up to 360,000 Iraq and
Afghanistan veterans may have suffered traumatic brain injuries.” Now that’s
not counting tens of thousands who have suffered maiming, amputations, or death
in this war based on lies.
It's one thing to have an intelligent disagreement within the GOP, but now they are just being disagreeable. Oh wait, that's their goal!
FrisbyDog - you cannot use the words "intelligent" and "GOP" in the same sentence. Just DOES NOT work!
Ingenious distribution of enormous amounts of Jewish money has corrupted our electoral system and successfully involved us in continuing wars against our interests. Chuck Hagel is one of the few who has resisted. The Government of the United States must again serve American interests, not Israel's relentless pursuit of invulnerability, territorial conquest and apartheid supremacist empire in, and beyond, the Mideast.
Ingenious distribution of enormous amounts of Jewish money
-----------------------------------------------
This guy has a new and revised copy of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", and 7 like minded "types" agree with his "opinion"...That JEWS aren't really AMERICANS and their ALLEGIANCE is to a FOREIGN power.
Doesn't say "Israel Lobby" or "Israeli money", but JEWISH MONEY.
Israel's relentless pursuit of invulnerability, territorial conquest and apartheid supremacist empire in, and beyond, the Mideast.
Hoisted on your own racist petard..
Let the "Swift Boating" begin. Thanks again GOP!
lolololol the GOP is still mad I see. When are they leaving? They said they would leave if PBO was reelected and yet they are not leaving? I wonder why? Taxes were raised for the rich and Obamacare is the law of the land. Please GOP Liptards, you said you would leave now go!! Trump was leading the charge and now these morons are quiet!!
Pissedoffperson.............they are all waiting for Rush Limbaugh to leave for Costa Rica so they can sail off on the same barge to never never land together!
lololol kool I want to send them off
The war mongers are rearing their heads. We have the military might to destroy all life on Earth 3000 times over. We spend more on defense than the next 12 nations combined. We build weapon systems that the Pentagon says that they don't need and don't want.
Yes, there is plenty of room to make cuts in the defense budget.
The extremist right wing nut job Fascist wannabes are at it again. They will, once again, be slapped down by those in their own party and by the Democrats and those rwnj extremists will look foolish, yet again.
Right or wrong .. to be slapped down by a fascist Democrap would be unbearable ... people need to learn to moderate .... talk it through and meet in the middle - if not - Ill blow your ass away.
MinnesotaJW -oh you were doing sooooo well until you posted the stupid "fascist" comment. Unfortunately you prove you are in NO WAY moderate!
The rag-tag remnants of the Republican party will have to be scraped off the military-Industrial complex like the ancient barnacles that they are... In the meantime, they're probably trying to figure out how they can get people to buy war bonds with food stamps.
It has become clear that because we fought two wars without paying for them and deregulated the financial industry to burn us down we cannot afford to fight any more optional wars for some time. We have not had to fight for our survival since WWII. Hagel is a decorated veteran which is much more than most of his critics can say. The president asks congress to declare war not the Secretary of Defense. I don't know anything about Hagel really but from what I have seen conservatives will block it if they can. Of course, they would block Audie Murphy is he accepted a democrat position. Hagel and McCain see things differently but they both are at least speaking from experience. Being a decorated veteran does not qualify you to be defense but it does you experience in asking young people to die. It is better than someone who just tells them to and has no background or experience in it.
Ron, you are absolutey correct. I wonder if people realize that we could cut our military spending in half and still have the most powerful military force ever on this planet. There is plenty of room for cutting military spending. Maybe black projects can wait. Keep ET on ice for another year. Maybe we can reduce the size of our bases in Germany, no longer an enemy nor are Eastern European countries that required such bases in the past. I can see a base or two in Korea as the North Koreans sabre rattle now and again and could be dangerous. The Middle East could be reason for bases in Italy, close to ME or on islands in the area but not in Europe. We also need to butt out of the business of other countries. We need to step in when absolutely necessary and with the support of allies in the UN, NATO, SEATO etc. We should not be the policeman of the world.
These people fail to see that we some of the most powerful weapons in the world. Yet they want to continue to make more powerful ones. The whole world already knows that with the current weapons available if WWIII starts, the earth as we know it will end. In addition, ask anyone in the military and they will tell you that there is a lot of money in the defense budget that get spent on things that have nothing or very remotely associated with defense.
They fail to see that the proliferation of nuclear weapons makes the world less safe, not more. The department that has managed to retrieve tons of nuclear material from the former Soviet Union is threatened with defunding in the GOP budget, leaving more available to terrorists. Having the ability to obliterate the entire world many times over is not necessarily a good thing.
Well, a nuclear weapon is kind of like a gun, isn't it? Good for home defense. And according to the NRA, you can only guarantee safety by producing more of them.
Robert - or BIGGER ones! Ridiculous isn't it?
The only answer for a "bad guy" with a nuclear weapon is a "good guy" with a nuclear weapon!! (Either with a concealed carry permit or by keeping it visibly strapped to his leg if permitted in his nuclear locality)
"At the same time, defense contractors were on Capitol Hill wringing their hands in front of the House Armed Services Committee predicting doom and gloom if the Pentagon budget was cut 10% as required by the Budget Control Act of 2010 -- just days after former Vice President Dick Cheney visited Congressional Republicans to further drive the point that cuts to the military would be "devastating" with a loss of "1.5 million jobs. " According to Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC), Cheney advised Republicans to "keep the money flowing in a predictable way so you can plan for the next war."
That quote is from Common Dreams (commondreams.org/view/2012/07/27-1). Has there ever been a clearer expression of the military/industrial complex?
Robert - Cheney has to make Haliburton keeps getting their hush money - after all - he still gets a check from them! At what point do they realize that the killer - Cheney - has NOTHING to offer anyone but lies!
But, but, government spending does not create jobs.....
a
Where did the money come from? The military-industrial complex of multinational corporations? Follow the money it will lead you every time to the truth.
Example: Wayne LaPierre ALONE reputedly earns $20,000.00 PER WEEK from the NRA. Plus benefits. Then there's all the staff at headquarters and regional. And a big new, fancy headquarters building. Now, I know we all subsidize the NRA whether we like it or not. They are a non-profit. But with an annual budget for operating of $300,000,000+ do you REALLY think all that money comes from farmers and hunters? Do you really?
No matter your politics. If you want to know who's cow is sacred, just try and find out where the money comes from. And for twenty grand a week I'd be in love with guns myself.
Yankee Boy - intelligent people know LaPierre gets paid by gun manufacturers to spread his ignorance and fear among those he can convince the government is "coming to get your guns". You would have to be a complete fool to believe otherwise. Oops - that covers the majority of the GOP - just sayin.....
Gee, if the government is coming to get my guns I'd better rush out and buy a bunch more for them to confiscate.
They're afraid that peace will break out in the middle east and Isreal won't rebuild the temple to trigger Amrgeddon.
Though I lean more conservative than not, crap likes this does nothing more than ensure I will NOT vote for the conservative aholes that produce garbage like this ... be advised .....................
It will be Interesting to see the New INSANE GOP/TEA block one of their own for Confirmation. This will be coming from a Party who tries to PROPAGANDA to the Country that the President will not work with them and he is dividing the Country along with their 24/7 Propaganda Network, Fox for their Low information UNINFORMED VOTERS, who keep voting for GOP/TEA against these own interest.
When Senator Hagel is confirmed the Swift Boat will finally have been sunk…hopefully with all hands on board.
What do Republicians really want??????????????? Opposing one of their own makes me realise that they are only opposing for opposing sake, and really have no reason for their opposition to this gentleman or anything the President does. The Republicians are vex because they didn't make President Obama a one term President but be very careful Republicians with with all your attitudes you all may not see the doors of the Whitehouse in 2016 and beyond.
'I tell ya what they want what they really really want....'
Too effin bad...he's a shoe-in... and Kerry's seat is safe...thanks Republicans!
This really financed by the Jewish masquarading
The GOP/Teabeggers really like Hagel, and in one of their many 'quietrooms" they all admit this in full. It is more of a case that the GOP/Teabeggers. Have a continued hatred of an American President. The GOP/Teabeggers are going to stay true to their "Blood Oath." Read Robert Draper's book America!
Once again the Rethugs are stallin. Who would have thought? I did! Just about everyone did! This is nothing less than opposing anything this President wants. Now they are spending unGodly amounts of money on this? Great job there, GOP/TP! When will they stop their reign of terror? Hopefully, in 2014, and again in 2016? Vote them out, it is what MUST be done!!!
Hagel would make a fine Sec. Def., and thats no lie! I hope he gets it!
Goodbye Rethugs, see ya NEVER!!!!!!!
Just another right-wing hate group masquerading as human beings...
I wish their was a fatal virus specific to the Neocons who are destroying this nation. The US is the only real terrorist nation on the planet. No one else wages war like the US. Too bad the military can't abscond with all the politicians children and make them fight the wars on the front lines. Why are their so few jews in the military. No wonder the US has such a homegrown problem with violence. Israel is the new Nazi Germany. Ironic how that happened. Read the Old Testament to see how violent and murderous the Jews are. It is in their DNA and has been for 4 thousand years. Don't let them fool you with their disingenuous news speak about democracy in Israel. They are as democratic as the South during slavery. They have stolen land from the Palestinians like the US did to the Native Americans.
Well, I don't know if agree with you points but I do agree that the Old Testament is full of violence. I don't believe in Jesus, but like Jefferson, I do find the New Testament much more credible and peaceful
The Tea Baggers have come out of their cave. They would just love a few more wars - GW Bush style. How about Iran and Syria this time and again double the national debt.
How about we send the tea baggers to fight the next war, or better yet replace our soldiers in Afganistan with Tea Baggers. I bet they are not volunteering. It is easy to want war when you 1) are not fighting and 2) have money invested in the military industrial complex.
