Senate Confirms Hagel as Secretary of Defense

wow 4 members of the party of NO actually broke ranks? Now THAT is breaking news. Seriously.....the fact that Republicans hate Obama so much that they won't even vote for one of their own is just astounding and screams volumes.
 
Wow, 41 votes against? That's insane. Only 4 republicans could bring themselves to vote for a more than qualified appointee, lol. Shameful.

You obviously didn't watch any of his confirmation hearing...
 
It would be interresting to know what republicans in Kansas think about that.

Good afternoon, AP.

Sorry, I didn't watch...may I assume he was confirmed? The voting numbers indicate that he must have, unless some Democrats also voted against?....

Good afternoon pg. He was confirmed but not by the normal majority that other defense secretaries usually are...
 
I have no problem with it....In the end the POTUS is entitled to choose his cabinet....Too bad this is a transparent ploy for Obama to just place someone in there that he can push around.

Breaking news is that you're still pushing such a crock of s.......

The party of No's voting record speaks for itself. Anyone with an elementary skill level on the internet can search for themselves and find out....so your "Crock of ****" claim can easily be debunked. Sorry.

because the Party of NO will oppose anything and everything that Obama proposes...even if it means eating one of their own.

It's oddly comforting to know that nothing has changed in DC politics...makes it easier to understand why we are where we are...:bs:

What was the vote in the Senate for John Kerry for Secretary of State? I'll wait while you use your elementary school diploma to look it up.

Only because it opened up a potential senate seat for them.....for no other reason. DOH!

The guy might be nice and dedicated as well, but he is an idiot...

And here we have a living, breathing, example of the low intelligence voter Obama has made a career out of. God help America.

Just out of curiosity, what where the vote count for Bush nominations? Where the opposition to some of them different somehow?

John Ashcroft - 58-42
Michael Mukasey - 53-40
Alberto Gonzales - 60-36
 
Let's be real here, the only reason that Hagel was nominated in the first place, and why liberals love the choice is because of his poking a thumb in the Bush administrations eye during the Iraq war, and his antisemitic views....

Call it an overlap of BDS, and IDS.....

You're obviously not familiar with the foundations of Classical Liberalism. It might serve you well to educate yourself...
