Senate Defeats Republican Filibuster Of Hagel​

"The Senate on Tuesday voted to break the Republican-led filibuster of Chuck Hagel’s nomination to become the next Secretary of Defense, clearing the way for his confirmation.

Senate Republicans made history earlier this month by successfully filibustering a president’s Defense Secretary nominee for the first time in U.S. history.

But a number of Republicans who voted to uphold the filibuster — including Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), Lamar Alexander (R-NE), Roy Blunt (R-MO) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT) — joined Democrats in breaking the filibuster on Tuesday. Overall, 18 Republicans voted for cloture, which ultimately passed by a vote of 71-27."

I saw that too. Yeah. Repubs lost another battle saying someone who was on the ground in 'nam wasn't qualified didn't (as we used to say in the military) "pass muster"

GOP; Flippin' & Floppin'​

"Mr. Hagel became the first defense secretary nominee in history required to garner 60 votes to win confirmation. Senate Republicans blocked a motion to allow Mr. Hagel's nomination to proceed more than a week ago, effectively filibustering the nominee.

GOP senators have attempted to downplay the 60-vote requirement.

"It happens all the time, it's a normal thing," said Sen. James Inhofe (R., Okla.)."

I didn't know Boner was a Senator.

He's Speaker O' The House....and, a MAJOR GOP whiner!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Yup. Being in Nam makes you an expert in running the Department of Defense.

That's like saying Grips are experts in film production.

 

[Claudette]

Victory for Obama huh??

Wonder if it will be a victory for America?

Somehow I doubt it.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

The people lose again.

Who the heck cares? We all know Obama was going to have some bad choice in here. Was there any chance we thought he'd pick someone reasonable? At least we have an idea of where he is totally crappy. like his anti Israel stances. Really sucks that we have someone hostile to our allies, but at least we know.

These guys thought being a community organizer qualified someone for President.

Think that argument is really going to change someone's opinion on Sec of Def?

Somehow I doubt it.

Outside of Osama's death, when has a victory for Obama ever been a victory for America? And Im not even sure that's true. Because seeing him tried might have been a better victory.

A good Sec. Of Defense would a general, not an infantry Sgt who spent less than 2 years in the service and became a bullet magnet. He didn't learn anything about military tactics and barely could tell you the difference between S1, S3, and S4.....

 

[GeoLaureate8]

Not an Obama victory, it's an Obama loss. Hagel is openly against the New World Order and Obama is the NWO's number one guy.

Chuck Hagel told Obama: “We are at a time where there is a New World Order. ... “The president has not had commander-in-chief control of the Pentagon since Bush senior was president.”

Why Obama picked Hagel for defense secretary - The Washington Post

Another ass whuping for the GOP.

Yeah... Republicans failed at preventing Obama from appointing a Republican DoD. Did anyone really win over this?

I thought as soon as Hagal didn't pledge allegiance to Israel the republicans kicked him to the curb. I guess he's republican again so the GOP can save a little face.

 

[skye]

All of Obama's appointees, Brennan, Kerry and now Hagel, could prove disastrous for the world,especially that of Hagel, who seems rather a dim witted person and really only has the capability of being in charge of the local Boy-Scouts group .... even then he would probably keep on putting his foot in his mouth!

 

[Spoonman]

well there goes the obstructionist republican myth
