Well, fuck me. I thought I was on a DEMOCRATIC forum.
But I've just been reading post after post lauding Chuck Hagel of all people.
Lots of DEMOCRATS here on this board would be perfectly fine with President Obama nominating this very conservative REPUBLICAN with his very conservative (i.e. PRO-war, PRO-Wall Street, ANTI-female reproductive rights) voting record to the very influential and visible position of SECRETARY OF STATE.
Going on record in my own thread to state my total opposition to Chuck Hagel being part of the Obama Administration in any way.
I HOPE this is only a rumor. If it isn't, it's just another slap in the face from the president to his base who are NOT Repubicans and expect him to have a Democratic cabinet!
