c) Prohibit states from passing laws that deny human services (medical care, education) to illegal immigrants or their children.
From vote-smart.org. regarding Chuck Hagels stand on the issues.


Sounds like he's another sell out big business republican that's jumped on the anti-war bandwagon at the eleventh hour to promote his own aspirations of running for president. I'll vote for Hillary before him. At least we'd get a "first" and they both stand for the same thing anyway.

Hagel definitely has incredible courage. He's the only significant (R) to openly criticize Bush/Cheney. I just wish there was a way for Hagel to win the Republican nomination and then the Presidency.

I am a veteran and a Democrat.
Having listened to Hagel and Bloomberg speak and read about them, I have to say that I would vote for a Hagel/Bloomberg ticket under whatever banner.
I suggest that anyone really interested in the issues look into both of these fellows and finding out more about them. They are both heads above anyone else in the running, Democrats or Republicans.
"Using common sense" descibes them both.
look into it.

Not knowing fully what a Hagel-Bloomberg ticket would stand for on issues besides Iraq makes it difficult to applaud the proposal. Their stance on issues needs to be explored and questioned. Having said all of this, it appears to be a sign of refreshment in the current pool of candiates. Someone has to step forth that is representative of America and its values.Currently the field of candiates is lacking and I would rather vote for my dog than the current field.

Speaking of Sanjaya...

Just before the White House Correspondents' dinner, Jimmy Kimmel observed:

"Sanjaya has quite a weekend ahead of him.
He's going to the White House Correspondents' dinner on Saturday night, which means there's a really good chance he will meet President Bush.

It's crazy to think that a guy who did not get the most votes, who's not good at what he does, is famous despite the fact that he is consistently horrible, would get the chance to go to the White House and meet Sanjaya."

The rats are all jumping from the sinking Republican ship. It is about time, just make sure and take all the life jackets so the fools that stay will have to go down with it.....

Here's one Democrat that hopes Hagel will run as an independent. Then, if the Democratic Party is dumb enough to nominate the Empty-Suit BO (the Sanjaya of politics)) or the hypocrite, Calculating Clinton (in any combination) I'll have an alternative for my vote. I'll bet millions will join me.
