Santorum takes up fight against Hagel nomination

Should be tons of fun!!!

He pushed Rmoney so far right, Mitt couldn't get back to middle.

That is all.

Real conservatives are an endangered species in the GOP since the NWO interventionist neo-cons took control.

I'm for it. Conversely, if Santorum is for something, then I'm against it. Seems to be a law of Nature. Actully thought that Hagel was a Repuke prick SOB until Santorum raised his nasty little pinhead.

Apparently he refuses to shut-up when he disagrees with the party so the right-wingers also think he is a prick. That makes me laugh and gesture in their general direction.

that Hagel might be open to Defense cuts and since he is a R it might have a chance. Probably why the neo-cons have their panties in such a twist.

I didn't miss anything? As in, who gives a shit what Rick Santorum thinks?

The campaign now being waged against Mr. Hagel’s nomination as secretary of defense is in some ways a relitigation of that decade-old dispute. It is also a dramatic return to the public stage by the neoconservatives whose worldview remains a powerful undercurrent in the Republican Party and in the national debate about the United States’ relationship with Israel and the Middle East.

“This is the neocons’ worst nightmare because you’ve got a combat soldier, successful businessman and senator who actually thinks there may be other ways to resolve some questions other than force,” said Richard L. Armitage, who broke with the more hawkish members of the Bush team during the Iraq war when he was a deputy to Secretary of State Colin L. Powell.

William Kristol, the editor of The Weekly Standard, who championed the Iraq invasion and is leading the opposition to Mr. Hagel’s nomination, says the former senator and his supporters are suffering from “neoconservative derangement syndrome.”

“I’d much prefer a secretary of defense who was a more mainstream internationalist — not a guy obsessed by how the United States uses its power and would always err on the side of not intervening,” he added. Of Mr. Hagel and his allies, Mr. Kristol said, “They sort of think we should have just gone away.” Kristol seriously just shut up you are exposing your foolishness

as described by the Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Democrats have 55 senators voting in the democratic caucus -

The Democrats only need fifty senators to approval any Obama nominee -

And the vice- President's vote (if needed) would make 51 votes which is good enough for approval for any Obama nominee!

So fuck-off republicans - You are helpless!!
