They know it hurt them in the long run.

they don't know that.

This whole "hearing" is a joke. And I don't know how Hagel has not gotten up and punched that smarmy idiot Miller from Florida in the face. What a prick.

Hagel to jump over the table and throttle that dumbass.

Do these people think before they open their mouths? Do they have any idea how ridiculous they look/sound?

In my fantasy, Hagel approaches Miller after the cameras are shut down and commences throttling. Or at least rips him a new one.

and has two purple hearts, and several other awards for gallantry.

I'm pretty sure he's familiar with injured soldiers! Miller never served a day in his life. Why he is the Chairman of Veteran's Affairs I'll never know.

Trying at impeachment allows you to pummel democrats only for so long and it could backfire.

BUT:
Create an atmosphere of doubt, by bringing up impeachment over and over again, whether warranted or not, and you can rile your base up again and again and ask for donations again and again.

over, that is the focus.

BTW, are you watching the hearing?

Yeah, impeachment would be a terrific idea. They'll never get 67 votes to convict in the Senate, and reinforce that they'd rather go after Obama than bring home a POW.

It's always fun to see people make the same mistake repeatedly.
