[Thrill]

Beat that!!

[TwilightGardener]

1. Can't beat it, but you'll make a lot of DUers mad. Flame suit on.

[Inuca]

27. I just finished listening to Obama's...

speech at the NH dem dinner, and I wonder whether the idea is so off-the-wall afterall.... Incredible speech, by the way.

2. Hagel Is An Anti-Choice And Anti-Gay Republican

[Honeycombe8]

29. I can see Hagel's appeal...but his views are inconsistent with Dems' views.

Although he is pretty cute, I must say.

But as someone concerned about the environment, I wouldn't vote for Hagel because he wants to drill in ANWR.

There are issues as important to others, like the environment and immigration, as the Iraq War is.

3. Get me my puke bucket.

[TeamJordan23]

4. Obama-Biden. nm

[usregimechange]

15. That is what I am thinking

[Honeycombe8]

30. Good. Good. But military guy would be best, I think. nt

[medicswife]

5. Wow. I wondered if Biden would pick Hagel if he was the

nominee, but I never imagined Obama doing it. Hagel is a good guy. Very interesting thought you just put into my head. thanks.

[Eurobabe]

6. I doubt it. n/t

[maddezmom]

7. No Thanks

:hi:

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

8. That sounds about right....

[peacetheonlyway]

9. Hagel's an ass

he owns a share in ES&S and Diebold voting machine
rigged his own election in South Dakota and he's part of the trilateral commission and connected to bilderberg.

Hagel is scarier and smarter than bush and connected with more of the global military complex than bush is.

I am personally bothered by hagel entering the race with Bloomberg as an independent.. which is viable as americans think cause hagel criticized bush he must be good.

mark my word, hagel is WORSE than bush.

[TwilightGardener]

13. You don't even know what state he's from.

[Kucinich4America]

16. The same state as that other ass, Ben Nelson

At least Hagel admits he's a Republican.

[peacetheonlyway]

24. nebraska.. sorry was tired tonite

a little disappointed in iowa.. wanted dark horse candidates to get more of votes..

[Inuca]

26. NE, SD... who cares...

it's somewhat "over there", no? But he is part of the "trilateral commission", that's inexcusable!

[TwilightGardener]

19. Wait a second--Hagel is "connected" to the military complex, but

advocates military action as a last resort and promotes diplomacy? He's kind of a weak link for them then, eh?

[Renew Deal]

10. Beat it for what? Stupidity?

You have it.

[TwilightGardener]

11. Hagel would do it, too.

[Mojambo]

12. That is a VP pick that would keep me from voting Democratic. n/t

[TwilightZone]

14. Hagel is an ultra-conservative.

If you think that's a good idea, you should probably look into his record a bit further.

[O.M.B.inOhio]

17. Ah, Gore-Lieberman part deux.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

18. Obama-Clark.

:shrug:

[frogmarch]

20. Hagel is a goddamn republican

from my state. He's a piece of shit. I hope Obama doesn't pick as a running mate one of the assholes who voted to impeach Bill Clinton over a crummy blue dress. The only good thing about Hagel is that he opposes the war. Check Hagel's voting record. He's a republican if there ever was one!

If Obama is the Democratic nominee and picks Hagel as a running mate, I won't vote.

:shrug:

[Beausoir]

31. Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark.

[yellowcanine]

28. Except for the war, Hagel is quit conservative. Kind of like Ron Paul.

Either one would not be a suitable VP for a progressive like Obama.

[DURHAM D]

32. Hey - when I posted that suggestion an hour and a half ago -

I meant it as a joke.


Do you?

[BeyondGeography]

33. Hagel for SecDef

not VP.

[cynatnite]

34. Okay, I"ll see you with an Edwards/Paul ticket and raise you Hillary for Sec. of State....

now, beat that!

:evilgrin:

[Tektonik]

35. I'd write in Nader's name with that kind of ticket

:rofl:

[frankenforpres]

36. center and center/right ? no thanks

how about something novel, like a liberal

[zulchzulu]

37. Keep Hagel way out of this...

If you know about his links to the Black Box voting machines as well as his ardent right-wing leanings on social issues, you give him the buzzer.
