- cg4et, on 03/29/2008, -10/+48Chuck Hagel was one of the earliest Republicans to speak out against the Iraq war. Even though he supported McCain in 2000, it is not hard for me to see that he would speak so positively of Barack Obama in 2008.
- rtaibah, on 05/22/2009, -15/+49Brake? We can't give you that...but we can throttle you...
- kynn, on 03/29/2008, -12/+43This is another first: in all the presidential elections that I've been able to follow, I have never seen so much good will from members of one party towards a candidate of the other party as Republicans are showing for Obama in this one. Murray, Gerson, Sullivan, now Hagel, the list goes on...
- nblsavage, on 03/29/2008, -9/+28Hitler was a fascist, not a socialist.
- whatthefu, on 03/29/2008, -9/+25I think he can come the closest to uniting the country than any of the other politicians of the past decade. I mean, this country has gotten so polarized that it's ridiculous. But he'll never get the chance if he's constantly sabotaged by Hillary.
- patpl22391, on 03/29/2008, -10/+25Chuck Hagel is Republican in name only.
- inactive, on 03/29/2008, -0/+14And let's not forget that his father was not a US citizen, so no slavery in his past, and Obama is also half white. So he is half responsible for slavery himself. Damn half "cracker"!
- Pherdnut, on 03/29/2008, -9/+21It's the bipartisan draw that pretty much invalidates every Clinton claim that she's more likely to get elected in the generals.
- actorboy, on 03/29/2008, -9/+21Bush Inc. would not withdraw troops even if funding was cut. Perhaps allowing our troops to be killed off due to inadequate armor and weapons is in your mind an acceptable way to end the war. For the rest of us, bringing our them home alive is the preferred option.
- iainc, on 03/29/2008, -10/+21Brake? You just OWNED yourself. Well done :o)
- PATSCRU, on 03/29/2008, -16/+26I personally think his level of experience is perfect. He's been in washington long enough to know how the system works, but not long enough to be chewed up and spit out by the DC political machine. He's knowledgeable, but not subject to the same lapses in judgement, character, or resolve that usually afflicts career politicians.
as far as other 'experienced presidents, when counting years in the state legislature,US house, and US senate, Herbert Hoover only had 7.5 years of experience before becoming president, Ulysses S. Grant had 7, FDR had 6, Teddy roosevelt had 4.5, and Woodrow Wilson had two years of experience. For a look at how experience determines whether a president would be good or bad, check this page:

- EarlOfLade, on 03/29/2008, -2/+12Chuck Hagel is one of the few republicans I have respect for. Always liked him even though I disagree with much of his policies.
- Hillsfar, on 03/29/2008, -6/+16Unlike Clinton's Limbaughers who voted for her to help spoil the election and get McCain elected, Obama's Republicans genuinely believe in his message of unity and change.
- nblsavage, on 03/29/2008, -13/+22Ignore Cash, he's had a rough night..he spent it alone in bed sobbing into his Ron Paul doll.
- diggdiggerid, on 03/29/2008, -0/+9Is that Obama drawing a circuit diagram??
- JStraum, on 03/29/2008, -3/+12It's clearly not the same McCain now, compared to then...
- inactive, on 03/29/2008, -0/+8People with undergraduate degrees from Stanford and master's degrees from Oxford tend to get good paying jobs.
- iainc, on 03/29/2008, -9/+17Another day, another cashman post. Moving swiftly on ...
- inactive, on 03/30/2008, -1/+9and that comes up for a vote next year.
Ive never heard of a more asinine thing. What if you came over here AFTER slavery? What if you were Vietnamese and came here after the war? Do you have to pay?
Its the most obnoxious, self righteous piece of ***** ever brought to the table. - Pillage, on 03/29/2008, -5/+13What about Joe Lieberman backing McCain?
- ncairns, on 03/29/2008, -7/+15Hahahahahaha.
God you're a ***** moron.
You do realize that the socialists and the communists were among the groups of people Hitler massacred?

- reaper527, on 03/29/2008, -4/+11so is mccain
- nblsavage, on 03/29/2008, -7/+14Hyperbole much? Typical FUD from the wingnuts.
- magus_melchior, on 03/30/2008, -2/+8You know, that's reminiscent of Clinton's now-infamous "I was sleep-deprived" excuse.
- Arkons24, on 03/29/2008, -1/+7Go figure, someone with a great education and successful parents got a leg up in life. Go take a time machine back to Russia in the 1950s if you want government sponsored equality you communist fool.
- smacksaw, on 03/29/2008, -1/+7I'd rather have a good politician I disagree with than a bad politician I agree with. That's how so many people let Bush take things too far. People might ally themselves in their support of him as a Republican, but as a politician and a political servant of the people he is a failure.
- actorboy, on 03/29/2008, -13/+18And surely, your years of experience give you the intellectual authority to know how many years of experience it takes to make a good president.
- TheSwashbuckler, on 03/29/2008, -5/+10Obama is a hype machine. Right now he and his supporters are in the honeymoon phase. If he gets elected they'll expect a lot and get very little.
Sort of like Dems and the 2006 Congress. - ncairns, on 03/30/2008, -3/+8You're fundamentally ignorant about Hitler's politics and actions. After he came into power, he disregarded every promise he had made to the workers which catapulted him to the presidency. He outlawed labor unions and strikes, supplanting them with the DAF, which was controlled entirely by the Nazi Party and in fact used to stomp out the worker's influence. He HATED the German SPD - the real socialist political organization in Germany - and wrote of Marx:
"Didn't the world see, carried on right into the Middle Ages, the same old system of martyrs, tortures, *****? Of old, it was in the name of Christianity. To-day, it's in the name of Bolshevism. Yesterday, the instigator was Saul: the instigator to-day, Mardochai. Saul has changed into St. Paul, and Mardochai into Karl Marx. By exterminating this pest, we shall do humanity a service of which our soldiers can have no idea."
The reality is that Nazism was the near-polar opposite of socialism - it was fascism.

You really just have not a ***** idea in the world what you're talking about. - Brasky, on 03/29/2008, -1/+6What I think is really funny about that is Nebraska has a senator (Ben Nelson) that is a democrat in name only as well.
- nblsavage, on 03/30/2008, -4/+9Ah, yet more wisdom from amightyfart.
- VicHislop, on 03/29/2008, -1/+6Early rumors have suggested that Hagel would be Obama's first choice for Secretary of Defense. I'm sure they spoken to that effect, so this support from Hagel makes sense.
- chesbo, on 03/30/2008, -0/+4THATS RIGHT! OBAMA SHOULD BE LOOKED UPON BY GOD AS A MAN THAT BRINGS HOPE AND CHANGE. NO MATTER WHAT POLICIES OBAMA BRINGS FORWARD WE WILL GIVE HIM OUR PRAISE AND SUPPORT.
OBAMA WILL FINALLY STEAR AMERICA AWAY FROM WHAT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS INTENTED THIS COUNTRY TO BE. IT WILL NO LONGER BE THE LAND OF THE FREE, BUT RATHER THE LAND OF HOPE AND CHANGE. - sandovalj, on 03/30/2008, -6/+10Why do we need uniting? Just look at all the vitriolic comments on this post! (and throughout this campaign). I've never seen such anger and venom spewing back and forth between fellow Americans. Where's the love? We need uniting, but no one's going to be able to magically illuminate an unconscious electorate. But it doesn't hurt to hope, and maybe that's the point.
- iainc, on 03/30/2008, -0/+4I'm sorry, I couldn't understand *you* with Hillary's in *yours*.
- sixspeed, on 03/30/2008, -2/+6Wow, JStraum, that's almost as funny as when you used que instead of "cue".
"It's all the dumb *****, I swear...rock on dude...(que the banjo music)"
You might want to mop up a little of your own drool *****. - PacoLugi, on 03/29/2008, -15/+19Is Chuck Hagel a typical white person?
- nblsavage, on 03/29/2008, -6/+10Black theology is theology from the perspective of the African diaspora - any people or ethnic population forced or induced to leave their traditional homelands. The message of black theology is that the African American struggle for liberation is consistent with the gospel--every theological statement must be consistent with, and perpetuate, the goals of liberation. This theology maintains that African Americans must be liberated from multiple forms of bondage—social, political, economic and religious. This liberation involves empowerment and seeks the right of self-definition, self-affirmation and self-determination.

- IslandDog, on 03/30/2008, -0/+4Obama is not going to "unite" anything. Many people do not want income redistribution, more entitlement programs, higher taxes, and government health care.
- romistrub, on 03/30/2008, -3/+7Wait... Obama hates Jews? You're really stretching, there.
- daveflav, on 03/30/2008, -1/+5Americas politics suck.
- zephyear, on 03/29/2008, -9/+13it's good he's retained some of his sanity, then.
- ncairns, on 03/30/2008, -4/+8Yes, of course - I forgot that facts can be made more or less true depending upon who states them.
Your 'source' from Yale does nothing whatsoever to back up your claims, which are rooted in your own historically illiterate interpretation. - heynow21, on 03/29/2008, -6/+10Joe Lieberman is opportunistic scum, who knows what party he's in now.
- FcukAllYall, on 03/29/2008, -9/+13I buried your dumb ass for failing pre-school spelling
- hittnrun, on 03/30/2008, -0/+4People who whine on message boards tend to make less than actual hard workers.
- TheSwashbuckler, on 03/29/2008, -0/+4Tulane University, for example, reports to U.S. News & World Report magazine, which publishes widely watched annual law-school rankings, that its law-school graduates entering the job market in 2005 had a median salary of $135,000. But that is based on a survey that only 24% of that year's graduates completed, and those who did so likely represent the cream of the class, a Tulane official concedes.
On its Web site, the school currently reports an average starting salary of $96,356 for graduates in private practice but doesn't include what percentage of graduates reported salaries for the survey.

Wall Street would pay more. After six years on the job, $160K doesn't sound unlikely. -
