I like Hagel - he's said some things about Iraq and the domestic spy program that I have agreed with. But these days, it seems that every politician has something in their past that come back back to bite them. With Hagel, one thing may be questions about a company he was affiliated with in Nebraska that installed and operated the voting machines used by most voters in Nebraska in 1996 and again in 2002. Might be nothing, but then again, when you run for President, all the dirty laundry is hung out there for people to see ...

Yup, and no matter how good a person you are, your not getting anywhere unless your a better and tougher lier. ^.^ Or better at manipulating the people, whatever. Like when Bush bashed McCain even though he's a freaking POW and yet skates on clear ice despite being only a member of the national guard in his days. Face it, really good people don't become politicans, and when they do they don't last long without compromising here or there. So much for the idea of a /true/ republic.
