You and the other democrats had a chance to stop this crap but no you
got a handshake deal from Mitch McConnell who promised to play nice

Chuck Hagel has combat experience, enlisted man experience, intel knowledge,
Pentagon knowledge, private sector experience, Washington D.C. knowledge,
and he is a republican too ...... this is not about Chuck Hagel but about trying
to hurt President Obama.
