Subscribe to RSSUpdated, 5:33 pm ET, Feb. 6. The Senate Armed Services Committee may delay the committee vote on the confirmation of Chuck Hagel to be the next defense secretary.
That vote was expected tomorrow. However, Republicans say the former Republican Nebraska senator has not provided all of the vetting materials requested about some his past speeches and finances, and they are looking into a complaint by a former Hagel staffer that she was harassed by another staffer.
Hagel's explanation is that some of those materials are the property of organizations with whom he has worked. But Democrats see the attempts as an effort to try and get President Obama to withdraw Hagel, something seen as unlikely.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is among those Republicans who have explicitly asked the president to "reconsider" the choice of Hagel.
"I don't think he's done anything unethical," Graham said. "He got paid to speak in front of groups; that's a common practice around here. I want to know who did he speak in front of, what did he say, and where did the money come from?"
Hagel said at his confirmation hearing that he does not have all of the speeches because he delivered many of them extemporaneously.
The White House reacted to the potential delay, calling for the Senate to "move quickly," per NBC's Kristen Welker.
"We continue to expect the Senate to move quickly to confirm Sen. Hagel as our next Secretary of Defense," an official said in a statement. "Since his confirmation hearing, more Senators on both sides of the aisle have announced their support for his confirmation, including Sens. [Mike] Johanns [R-NE], Kirsten Gillibrand [D-NY], [Tom] Udall [D-CO], [Kay] Hagan [D-NC], and [Richard] Blumenthal [D-CT]. It's clear that Senator Hagel has significant support in the Senate. So with 66,000 troops serving in Afghanistan and other Defense issues to deal with, it's time to move beyond these distractions and move forward with a vote on his nomination."
But without an opportunity to review all the requested information about Hagel's background and views contained in his past speeches, some Republican members have raised concerns and want more time.
Graham supports a delay. "You do have the ability to stop the nomination from going forward to get the information," he said. "I would be willing to do that. I would vote against a motion to proceed until I feel like we have the information that we need to make an informed decision."
Tomorrow, the committee will hear from Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey on the Benghazi attacks. Their appearance and testimony before a Hagel vote was one condition requested by Graham in order to leverage more access to information about the deadly attack in Libya. Graham said he would seek to put a hold on Hagel's confirmation vote until Panetta testified.
A decision on timing for the committee vote belongs to committee chairman Carl Levin (D-MI) who aides say is "working very hard to try to address and resolve those concerns today, so the committee can go forward with the vote tomorrow."
However, Levin's office acknowledges that it is unclear now if the vote will go forward as originally planned.
"We were supposed to vote tomorrow," Graham said, "but I think we should wait."
Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) told The Cable Tuesday that Republicans also are awaiting the results of a their investigation into a claim by a former Hagel staffer of sexual harassment by another staffer in 2007.
"I remember handling it, I thought it was handled," Lou Ann Linehan, Hagel's chief of staff at the time, told The Cable. "I did not bring it to the senator. I would not have taken it to the senator unless it required a termination and that wasn't the case. The term sexual harassment shocks me a little bit. I wouldn't have put up with anything that was actually sexual harassment. I had a very low tolerance for it. I don't put up with that stuff. Hagel didn't tolerate it, I didn't tolerate it."

As if ANY additional information provided would change one vote.
Puhleeeeeeeeease. Many 'minds' were made up the minute Obama was re-elected. Obstruction is the name of the game.
Lindsey G is a complete fake of a human being. Party First and all that CRAP.
Since when does this ass-hat think?
Creep sets off my 'gaydar" everytime I see him!
They still can't help being the party of the "STUPID" - seriously???
Well, Lindsay is going to suffer immense ridicule in his re-election bid. He has really gone off the rails lately because he is trying suck up to the Tea Partiers who have built a campaign war chest to run him off. Why? Because he has worked with Democrats in the past and because he is 50, unmarried, and never has been married.
It's pathetic watching him act like an @ss-hat trying to pander to people that already hate him. Should be a highly entertaining primary as we watch the Far Right cannibalize someone who was once considered a moderate but who has tried to become one of them.
Does anyone live in a state with more embarassing politicians than South Carolina? I truly don't think so.
Excellent post Clara. These guys are still playing games.
Really gets tiresome.
Jeez! Is there anything that Lindsey Graham won't do to cause upheaval in our government? The longer he is a senator, the worse off our country is. He and McCain need to be ousted. They have done nothing positive in quite a long time. WTF?
Illinois residence easily.
Would you want to wake up next to him every morning? lol
I sure as hell wouldn't...
Dumb and Dumber .. The republicans are really hanging on to a straw !!!
Just goes to show how they have really become the party of the STUPID !
It would serve this country well if we vote them out and clean house - including some from the other side of course ... we need some people with some real education, experience in statesmanship and a healthy dose of common sense !
Good luck America !
57(born in 1955) and unmarried, but he does have quite the RuPaul collection, or so I've heard!
And who, pray tell, would want to wake up next to you? Certainly not a male with any sense or taste.
LOL
Surprise Surprise! Republicans delay vote...
NOT!!!!
"Ruck the Fepublicans!!"
Another incredibly brilliant decision by the GOP, that is certain to reinforce the wholly positive vision of the party in the mind of the electorate that was forged in November.
Who is advising these guys?
Jesus Christ. Is there ANYTHING the GONope doesn't try to delay? Aside from gerrymandering and anti-choice legislation, of course.
Keep it up GOPeaParty. You are playing right into President Obama's hand.
Good grief!.....this is the most politically unsophisticated crop of Republicans in recent memory.
I cannot STAND Little Lindsey G! I hope he gets knocked out in the next election. . . . this is "much ado about NOTHING!"
The president deserves the cabinet he wants, absent some kind of gross malfeasance, which clearly is not present in this case. I'm not a big Hagel fan, but that's immaterial.
and, BTW, did you see Little Lindsey squirming in his chair during the hearings? he looked like he lifet his Preparation H home that day. LOL
FORWARD! :-)
Maybe it's time to 'phone General Colin Powell? Or how about nominating McCain for Defense? Of course, Obama would fire his azz the moment a replacement was appointed for his Senate seat, and then the whole country would enjoy the spectacle of McCain going ballistic with nowhere to turn and no one to listen anymore.
Lindsey G is John McCain's new blonde biatch.
The lack of intelligent discussions and the continuous name calling posts are really productive. One can now understand why our elected leaders are so dysfunctional... look who elected them.
Where is all of the vitriol and hatred towards the dems when they want to delay a planned action? O'bummer nows wants a delay on the sequestration that he signed into law and signed a delay. Now he wants another delay to reconsider.
Gotta love it. Dems accept delays from their own party but hate like hell a delay from the other party.
Another great thinking person's comment.
How did the filibuster thing work out for the left?
Can't we all just get along?
ORB,
The only problem is that as soon as McCain was nominated, you would see the other side of his face start trouncing himself for being a Maverick or some other such dumb@!$%# opposition. I seriously don't think they have it in them to not 'choke', regardless of the appointee.
Just another day at the office for the stupid party.......... Are these Republican obstructionists actually Americans? They don't act like they are.
Bigass....You are dumb!!!
If Republican senators believe that Hagel will hurt the security of the United States then it is their duty to filibuster.
Every senator who believes that Chuck Hagel's confirmation would be disastrous, and send the worst possible signal to America's friends and its enemies alike at a critical time, must act to stop Hagel's confirmation even if it means using a filibuster. If they believe the security of the United States is at stake then it is their duty to prevent this man from ever becoming the secretary of defense. Anything less would be a dereliction of duty. Since merely voting 'no' for a nominee they believe is not fit to be secretary of defense if they know that their vote will make no difference and that he will still be confirmed, is exactly the same as voting 'YES'.
Most nominees usually enjoy wide bipartisan support. But Hagel was different! Hagel was a controversial pick from the beginning, and after his weak and sometimes troubling replies at the hearing last week, it is clear that he is the wrong man for the job.
It is time for brave senators to show everyone that they are willing to fight for the security and future of America, and that all their speeches and promises weren't just words. Just voting 'no' and then later telling everyone: 'we told you so' - when it's too late, is not enough!
History will judge what each and every senator does in the coming days. The question is: will they let president Obama take this country down this dangerous road unopposed, or will they fight for what they believe in?
Morgs74.......you said:
The "filibuster thing" was a pawn. We traded it for your knight. Weren't you paying attention?
Can't you folks feel that irresistible force pulling your party left? Listen to your pundits.....they do.

"Another incredibly brilliant decision by the GOP, that is certain to reinforce the wholly positive vision of the party in the mind of the electorate that was forged in November.

I'm assuming it's Wayne LaPierre until they say or do anything that indicates otherwise...
Duqu
"If Republican senators believe that Hagel will hurt the security of the United States then it is their duty to filibuster"
I can see why the girls are frightened, but Hagel isn't Donald Rumsfeld... He's not being appointed as a pay-back for giving his staffer, Dick Cheney a plum job 20+ years prior when he left the Ford WH Chief of Staff job because Ford lost... He's not being pulled out of thin, private air with a cranky attitude and a history as CEO of a pharmaceutical Company (like Rumsfeld)...
Seems like these republican lady-boys are now dead-set on making Obama a 1.016438 term President... And taking their obedient little slaves along for the ride.
Shhhhhh - The Republicans are on full speed self destruct. Just get out of the way.
Oh, well, so the Bozobama doesn't get his way as quickly as he wants it? Isn't that just too ____ing bad! After doing his ignorant act during the first term, completely ignoring the Republicans in ANY of his liberal destruction of our country with his socialist horse dung, can he expect the other party to work with him after the childish way he's acted? Doubtful. The next two years will not be a repeat of his arrogance on parade like the first two years of his first term getting him all he wants. He's destroyed the economy and created NO jobs, unemployment is on the rise again, and the Bozobama will go down in history as the most failed fool of a president of the early 21st century.
Nothing the GOP hates more than a republican that comes out and says, "my party has gone insane. they are completely wrong." and totally bails on them. Makes them look very bad. The GOP wants this guy to fail for no other reason that he pointed out all of their mistakes when they were busy ruining the country under Bush. He broke the Reagan code. "Never speak ill of a fellow Republican." Well, Hagel did, for the good of his country, and now the GOP hates him for it. But enough of the GOP will allow this to proceed. This is not big news.
On a side note, kraussk's post literally made me laugh out loud. Apparently, it was OBAMA that destroyed the economy and threw us into a global recession, we have to throw out that word socialist again because that's what FOX news teaches us, and the president who saved the auto industry, the banks, reformed health care, and killed the world's number one terrorist will go down as a failure. Now THAT is funny. Why do I think he voted for baby Bush twice?
This is simply way too funny ! Perhaps, to satisfy the libtards in DC, they should simply confer him quickly, ask no questions at all.... and THEN ask pertinent questions "after the fact" ... only to get the usual reunaround!! LOL !!!
That would be similar to "You'll have to pass the bill to see what's in it" from Nancy Peelousy. Now that it has been passed, some of the unions now squawk about what they supported.
God forbid that confirmation hearings proceed carefully and wisely because that seems to go against Obama's way of doing things.
Sequestration was the brainiac plan of the GOP as an agreement to allow Obama to raise the debt ceiling. Unfortunately, when it came time to plunge over the "Cliff" the republicans started crying fowl and wanted to reverse their decision. It wasn't Obama that delayed sequestration, that action came from the House and Senate, so it had to have support from both sides; Obama just signed a delay that both parties wanted.
"Regurgitations" are just stalling because they got their feeling hurt in the last two elections. Now, they will spend another 4 years trying to stall anything the democrats try to pass; just like they did in the last 4 years. They don't give a damn about what's good for the american people they only care about their party of NO. If you want to win an election; start listening to the people and stop trying to push your antiquated ideological agenda.
Key word: If. No, Republicans do not believe that. They know that Hagel is competent and would make a good Secretary of Defense, they just hate Obama so much that they are willing to screw around the country.
@funkster
No. Sequestration was Obama's idea. Do a little research. Even Politifact (a left-leaning, but usually reliable "fact checker") rates Obama's claim that Sequestration was a GOP idea as "Mostly False". The idea of sequestration came from the White House.
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2012/oct/24/barack-obama/obama-says-congress-owns-sequestration-cuts/
Diogenes22..........
Politifact relies (mostly) upon Bob Woodward's book for their conclusion that the Obama administration proposed sequestration.
Given that Bob Woodward is increasingly seen as leaning right, his assertions should never be assumed to be unbiased.
In any case, for Politifact to defer to the "research" of others rather than uncover the facts for themselves, argues poorly for their conclusions. Their reliance upon unsupported assertions, statements by partisan (right leaning) think tanks, and operatives from the ROMNEY campaign is amateurish at best.
......as always, consider the source(s).
Sorry Mr. Woodward, that shine you had post-Watergate has lost most of its luster.
Let me paraphrase by saying I am Gay. That said... Senator Linsey Graham is Gay, let me repeat that Gay, GAY, he Dr. Bachman GAY, GGG... AAA... YYY...!!! He walks in the door and the blind man and deaf women knows and the three year old knows something's up. So sad, pitiful and very self loathing of him... that he thinks he has to pretend that he is White Trash, cognitively challenged, a fan of the Tea Party, as bitter as McCain and possessing a world view so simple and limited that FOX News is somehow his PBS! This guy is pandering to people who if they knew (are they really that dumb) would throw him out of office in a South Carolina second (about 8 hours)!
You all do understand that Chuck Hagel is an idiot, don't you? Did you even watch the hearings? Why do I get the feeling that you're all for whatever the great and powerful Obama wants regardless of what that is? Talk about rubber stamping. I, for one, poo poo the idea that Obama voters were zombies without any original thoughts of their own. Now, after reading these posts, I'm not so sure...
Lindsey Graham, John McCain and Republicans in general, working hard for Israel. All they are doing is throwing up as many smokescreens as they can, hoping to do the will of AIPAC.
This nomination proves beyond a shadow of a doubt how much AIPAC has infiltrated our government. These Zionist traitors, whose only real loyalty is to Israel, should be deported to Israel, where they can live among their own.
Gad, that Southern back hills hick is still vying for relevancy. South Carolina needs to send Gomer back home, deep into the hills and under the rock from whence he emerged.
On a side note, if you ever have the displeasure of being around him, don't forget your roll of paper towels. He is a spittle spewer.
Nice job, First Read, to put "sexual harassment claim" in the headline to this article and give the impression that it is a claim against Senator Hagel.
I wish the GOP spent as much time on jobs legislation as they have on this nomination of someone from their own party. It is truly disgusting.
Wake up steeler fan. The GOP didn't nominate him - O'bummer did.
How about the dems spending as much time producing a budget as they have supporting someone from a different party and bitching about delays.
Take your head out of your AZZ you are the tinker not the thinker.. Lindsey Grahm is a lawyer, and her the sissy is giving a combat veteran these problems. I bet you and Lindsey are the same type, sissies right thinker, well I wish you both would do us all a favor and push barrell deep in throat and then firmly pull trigger.
Hey easy there DM!... They don't use guns for that!
The republicans are against Hagel for PURELY political reasons.
I have to ask anybody who voted for the Romney-Ryan ticket last November...
In quite a few interviews, do you know who Romney kept saying that he would try to appoint for Secy of Defense?
Yes, Chuck Hagel!
Is anybody surprised that the GOP opposes Hagel now after supporting Romney who WANTED Hagel?
Thats why I wrote myself in instead of voting for Romney. Once Romney decided to vote for a Jew hating bigot I figured he had changed his politics and was now a Progressive, just like the other bigots.
What bull Skibum... You wrote yourself in instead of Romney because you were vastly more qualified on all counts and you know it!! My pet pig is a republican and he did the same thing!
KEEP LEFT post #4...well done nice to see someone did their homework. Oh...I might offer seems some forgot the nomination by Bush of Mr. Bolton to the UN. I've done the finger work and provided a link below for informing. Seems Mr. Bolton had a less than stellar background with many complaints pre-nomination. Bolton couldn't garner the support of congress so he was appointed during congressional recess by Bush. Republicans are playing politics pure and simple which is unacceptable given more important concerns.
Republicans: incompetent when they are in power and ridiculous when they are in the opposition.
These Republican Senators look so bad. So bad. Don't they get that? Don't they care? They aren't serving the American people with these games, they are just amusing themselves.
Alas, if only their hands were idle - oops, apologies, you said amusing, not abusing. Amusing is what they are doing to themselves, abusing is what they are doing to the American public.
Amy, don't you realize the Republicans in the Senate are in direct competition with the House Republicans over who can piss off the greatest number of American voters before the mid-terms? Between Lindsey and McConnell, they are coming up fast on the House members but I think the winner will be the House. They still have Immigration Reform and the real fiscal cliff to vote on. That should pretty much end their hopes of regaining power...reminiscent of the Whig Party.
Amy--love your new avatar!
There are some politicians who could say they were acting on principle and you might believe them. But no one is buying the GOP on these shenanigans.
Amy - You need to look at the positive side of your comment. Democrats: incompetent and ridiculous both in power and in opposition.
Hopefully you'll get 27" of snow and will lose power.
At least it takes a boat-load of snow to kill their power... You kill yours just by posting!
They actually eat their own, including their witless serf scaredy-voters... But to show that they have some discipline, they suck for a long time first.
Amy said,
"They aren't serving the American people with these games"
They are doing just what I elected them to do...
Stopping the bat sh-t crazy left wing nut jobs agenda!!
Oh and about games... why don't you ask Harry Reid about games!
He is positively, absolutely not serving the American peoples best interest!!
Maxx the Moocher
They're not going to stop sh!t after the mid-terms. By the time the Neoconservatives drive the Teabaggers out of the party, there won't be enough Republicans left to elect local dogcatchers. I have to admit I will enjoy watching the Teabaggers trying to take over the Libertarian party. This whole thing is better than the circus.
What a bunch of political hacks. Anything to keep their names in the spotlight even if it hurts the country!!!
After the thrashing in 2012 election, Repubteacans have not understood the rage they generate in American people. They believe in saying - " Do as I say, Do not Do as I DO". That is it. What country needs is much much fewer of them in Congress. These Repubteacans do not believe in progress for the masses, only for big-businesses who feeds them to strangulate the Democratic process in this very land that champions Democracy around the world. What a farce !!! American voters should punish them at 2016 elections - My friends do not miss that opportunity. Amen.
The Next opportunity will be in 2014 to hurt them in both the Senate and the House.
Odd they can't seem to read opinion polls. Congress is at historically low approval ratings, and the Republicans STILL refuse to act like patriotic public servants. Do they not get how their obstructionism is destroying their brand?
And those democrats are such esteemed examples of political servitude.
Don't say servitude or we'll have another dust up like we did over the word niggardly.
Stinky red, and smelly Amy are classless demoslugs!!!! What else needs to be said!!
Uh-oh... Stinker & Bum... Your RNC rep. just posted below you... And he's using the party line as a screen name.
Looks like you three have a dinner date to discuss "strategy".
And Amy's not smelly, Nancy.
Please, Washington, get on with the business of running this country. CEO's get to hire their staff. Unless someone have evidence that Hagel is not fit for the job, he should be confirmed, and nothing I have heard leads me to believe this is anything but another delay and waste of time. This is one Republican who is fed up with the silliness in Washington!
Very scary when the jewish lobby and a few chicken-hawk senators can ruin a reputation because of money. I would think it is time time for all of us who are veterans to push back on the likes of graham and now levin who is a democrat, but a jewish democrat. What the hell is going on?
If Jews didn't join the Nazi party why would they join the Democratic party? Makes no sense.
75% of Jews are democrats. Guess they are the ones with an IQ over 95
Lindsay Graham and John McCain are 2 of the biggest scum bages in the Senate - McCain has taken getting shot down 40 years ago in Vietnam as his expertise in Foreign and Military Policy and Graham follows along like a stooge. If Hagel is so bad - why didn't Graham and McCain bring this stuff out while he was a Republican Senator. This is all a bunch of non-sense becase Obama picked him - and this is coming from a Romney Voter.
Hey feisty Redhead
your slipping aren't you !! you weren't the first left wing radical to post a commit ????? did you get a job ?? NAAAAA can't be that would require you to have have some social contact with other people . That Doesn't work for left wingers..............social contact , and thinking
Are you a citizen yet ??
Wow Ed, really flailing there, aren't we?
What are you thoughts on the actual topic?
His thoughts are whatever FOX just said.
God Ed, do you realize how absolutely stupid you sound? No pride?
Her with a job lol. Damn that was funny. Its like saying Obama is smart and meaning it.
You mean Stinky!!!!
So much for that GOP Makeover that Eric Cantor talked about. Still the party of "Obstruct".
Yeah, I'm beginning to think that whole "Mystery Date" thing was just meant to cast smoke over the goings-on that make it clear they're the same fools we all know too well already... To them, "change" is just something they never tip out of.
There goes President Obama being "divisive" again!
Republicans have chosen to avoid the evidence-based world.
Harbinger it is not President Obama's fault that the Republicans are a bunch of idiots.
Since trying to promote a republican to a position of importance is the same thing as feeding them into a wood-chipper... I hereby encourage President Obama to appoint Eric Cantor, John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, and that effin fake therapy horse to high profile positions in his administration...
Cantor: Official Envoy to the Chevrolet Envoy.
Boehner: Environmental Ambassador to the Crimea River.
McConnell: Deppity of foreign Affairs of the 'merkin pipple.
Effin horse: Learn to break dance and pay your own taxes or you're glue!
Yes, the Republican Party are the studpid party. 2014 votes will be rejections of the Republican Party. This is nonsense and the American people are sick and tired of the Republican Party behavior.
HelloDock....Learn to spell, libtard!!!
Another good reason not to vote republican. One obstruction after another. Won't they ever learn?
What happened to 'line' between 2001 and 2009 (paraphrase): "He won the election, give the President his choices." When will these a**holes in both parties realize what goes around comes around.
In conjunction with that, computer technology has come far enough along that congressional districts can be set in population may be clustered in a contiguous fashion and eliminating Elbridge Gerry's salamander. Stop trying to rig the system
My thoughts are certainly more rational that Reds .
I've been watching her post for months now , and seemly she is the first to post some left wing radical statement attacking anyone whom doesn't have agree with the left. Some rational perspective is need when considering anyone placed in a top government position. agreeable Graham might have political agenda !! If so he should be part of the process.
Having said that ...........every one pointed should be properly vetted . The American voting public puts very little credence into whom they elect . Ad when those elected officials make mistakes it effects American's with UN-intended consequences.
Attacking every republican in site with smart ass commit is cheap , and show the lack of intelligent interaction....................yes red head that was for you
Anyone else see the irony with this comment? lmfao!
Another graduate of NewsforDumFux University.
Go away little man, the Feisty Fan Club his already full and even if there was an opening, I don't accept members who display your special brand of intelligent interaction.
You caught that too, Feisty!! Nothing like a dumbass 'splaining to you how unintelligent you are. I also like this bit of wisdom -
Ed, you continue to look stupid. Ever try checking your spelling and punctuation. And you still haven't made one valid point, just political right BS.
I'm just guessing here, but you sit in your bunker all day
everyday packing shotgun shells and waiting for Red to post
don't you Goober?
Kind of funny to watch the morons we call Progressives all over this thread as they pretend that His Majesty Obama didn't give himself the power to murder anyone he wants. If Bush had done what Obama did the Progressives would be wetting themselves, but to hold a black man to the same standard we do a white man is racism so we have to pretend that the President of the United States, defender of the Constitution, has the right to just decide which American he will not charge, will not try in court, but will instead kill from afar by having one of his mindless, immoral minions press a button. To cover it up they come here to vent their spleen. Imagine that your tax money that goes to welfare pays for their internet connection.
Ed...are you aware that Hagel is a Republican? Feisty supports the President's choice for SOD. I would hardly call that attacking all Repulicans. I vaguely recall Feisty also having positive things to say about Huntsman. Just saying....have a good day Ed.
Hagel the Homo!!!!!
Ed Coles are you for real or are you just poking fun at Liberals?
The worst ever pick, as the Chicago paper said "Withdraw your name from nomination"
Can't tell the Senate hearing how much you got from Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and numerous other foreign entities - you CAN'T be the Defense Sec. - NO WAY, NO HOW!
Wow you been taking to Senor - great source - hahaha
WOW, an expert committee of one!
Can't help but notice that the kool-aid drinkers CAN'T/WON'T comment about the FACTS. He took money from Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran among others and he won't come clean about it, pretending he's got protection like a priest.
Right - what if he did? does not brother most folks in this country anymore - Facts to me are not Senor - he is a proven chicken hawk - others can do my fighting type!
the capacity of the gop mind to resist new information is the new definition of infinite. "Stupid is as stupid does."
OBSTRUCTION... This is really sad. Hagel is an independent thinker... something we need MORE of in Washington!
wtf is intelligent interaction?
How did the once respected and admired republican party sink to such depths? Ask John McCain and Lindsey Graham. Don't seek answers from the boobs in the Texas delegation--we know what they're all about. But, what happened to those real conservatives who understood debate and compromise? Those whom the gods choose to destroy, they first make mad. Huumm! Did I just make that up, or did I read it somewhere? May the Olympian Gods send us another Mark Hatfield, Everett Dirksen, Howard Baker, Thomas fing Jefferson. What rocks are these cretins crawling out from under? HILLARY or JOE or Abraham fing Lincoln 2016!
I heard there was a cat stuck in a tree, on Hagel's block, in 1967. Delay the vote, we MUST INVESTIGATE!
Sexual harassment? No problem. Get Orin Hatch to savage his accuser.
That's how we got dim-bulb Clarence Thomas on SCOTUS.
Luckily she wasn't employed by Ted Kennedy or she'd be left in a car to drown after being harassed.
Luckily she wasn't employed by Lindsey Graham, or she'd be so tired of painting his nails by now that she'd have forgotten she was still a virgin.
Notice how MSNBC wont report on the latest Obamacare cost: This is from the Washington Times,
The Washington Times?!?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
A rightwing Unification Church owned "Newspaper" is reporting bad
news about President Obamas life saving health-care act...go figure.
Hey Jayfos, you finally figured it out. Employer funded health care will soon be like the dinosaurs. Extinct! Medicare for all baby. It's gonna happen, probably sooner than later. When your repub buddies in congress butchered the ACA they set the stage for single payer. You better duck my friend, because its comin right at ya.
Johnny Taco...... I know, I'm right, I can tell... You have no money and you are a slug!!!
