Leading Senate Republicans are now telling the
White House, they will try to block the confirmation of Chuck Hagel, President
Obama’s nominee to be secretary of defense, setting up a showdown vote on
Friday.
Mr. Hagel, a former Republican senator from Nebraska and
decorated Vietnam veteran, had earlier appeared to have at least the 60 votes
required to break a Republican filibuster. But Senator John McCain of Arizona,
who is looking more and more like a disgruntled
X-presidential candidate
and other Republicans who had said they might oppose Mr. Hagel but would not
back a filibuster. Now they are saying they will not support ending debate
until they receive more detailed answers to questions about the
administration’s response to the attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi,
Libya.
And what exactly was Chuck Hagel’s role in Libya? The same
as mine, and yours, not one single thing, and that my friends is what is wrong American
politics, time to clean house, get in some new blood, find people who care more about this country
than their petty concerns.
