5. I really don't give a fig. Hagel is a bigoted, anti choice Republican who voted for the Iraq War

and the rest of Bush's Wars. The man promoted teacher led prayer in public schools. He was wrong about Iraq when it mattered, and there is nothing much about him I like. I disagree with his wildly consistent Republican voting record as a Senator. He's got an 11% rating from NAACP, O% from Pro Choice groups, 100% from the right to lifers, 0% from HRC.
Very sorry but I don't endorse any Republicans for anything, much less one with a far right wing record like that. If that is a problem on DU, not supporting Republicans who oppose all I stand for, well then so be it!
