His record shows him as a true conservative and a staunch defender of our nation. I believe it is the defense contractors who spearhead this campaign against him being determined not to interrupt the hemorraging of tax dollars into their fat wallets.

There was a reason Obama chose him.

Because he is the right man for the job?

If that is what you believe.
I personally think there is a better one out there.

Well...we could always talk about Kerry?

Why? He's exactly who I'd expect Obama to choose. Hagel, on the other hand, was a pleasant surprise. Until his own party turned on him.

Havel is Obama's token cabinet Republican.

So? Would you rather a partisan liberal?
