Chuck Hagel Slams Palin: She is Not Qualified!
"She doesn't have any foreign policy credentials," Hagel said in an interview. "You get a passport for the first time in your life last year? I mean, I don't know what you can say. You can't say anything."

1. She couldn't run her town and now she can run a country?
Only in America could you actually hypnotize yourself into believing you have abilities you lack.

2. If having your own opinion makes you a "maverick," Hagel seems to be more of one than McCain.

It was great to see him providing "bi-partisan" cover for Obama during their trip to the Mid-East this summer.

4. I may not agree with Hagel on many issues, but my impression of him is that I would be able to enjoy
a conversation about our differences and not walk away furious. He seems to respect the "loyal opposition," which is something this country hasn't had in many, many years.

6. Hagel is pissed that Bush has destroyed the country and the GOP
Bush is now considered to be the worst President in the history of the US.

9. Hagel is not impressed, he doesn't play.
he can be very straight forward with his responses too, he's leaving the Congress this year isn't he?

10. The only thing you can say is
McCain showed absolutely NO regard for this country in selecting that non-qualified moron.

11. McCain betrayed his "Country First" slogan, he put his "Ambition First"
and it backfired

12. Hagel
While we may not agree with him on much he has been the Republican senator must willing to break with
Bush on Iraq.His wife donated to Obama.And while he hasn't been willing to outright endorse Obama
It Is easy to think he wants Obama and not Mccain.And I believe stronly when Obama wins he will
pick Hagel to be Secretary of Defense.Obama will pick 1 or 2 Republicans In his cabent.And like
Kennedy and Clinton they will be for Important postions.

13. Sadly, it still puts her ahead of Shrubby before he became president.
At least she *has* left the country on foreign visit; more than he ever did.

17. We need to push MSM to talk this up. Hagel has more credibility without Obama/Biden pushing it

18. I came across it already
on the ABC site, Boston Globe, and NYT I think. We'll see if it will be picked up by the talking heads later.

19. Whorah O'Donnell and Cuntessa Brewer are talking about it too
Chuck Hagel really hurt the McSame/Palin campaign. He is respected and pretty much stayed out of the fray, but now Hagel's torpedo hit the heart of the McHindenburgh and it is in flames. The GOP continues in meltdown mode and Wall Street is still on the ropes.

20. If she had actually run for president in the primarys she'd have lasted a week
She's a back door candidate, that's how the fundies do this type of thing. To them she is qualified.

WhatI find shocking is that more moderate repubs don't recognize her for what she is. Unfortunatly, Halge is the exception, not the rule.
