While I don't agree with all his positions, he is the kind of man I could respect as president. <BR/><BR/>He was one of the very few Republicans to stand up to the President and Republican leadership and tell the truth about the disastrous Medicare Prescription bill. That pig will cost more than $700 billion dollars of new entitlements and deficits piled on the back of our kids - thanks to the single party control of big government, big spending Republicans. <BR/><BR/>We need more Chuck Hagels in Washington. He speaks his mind, and if doing what is right for the Country means disagreeing with his party or president, he lets the chips fall where thy may. <BR/><BR/>He can even speak in complete sentences with coherent thoughts and ideas, unlike our current president. <BR/><BR/>I hope he runs.mwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11181222537529037359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22609525.post-1149341758495269902006-06-03T08:35:00.000-05:002006-06-03T08:35:00.000-05:00I would, in a heartbeat.

Hagel's approach to immigration, energy, economics, national security, etc. is comprehensive, far reaching and down the road will serve America well.<BR/><BR/>I fear that we are - through this debate - dangerously going down an isolationist road, with the new Father Coughlin of the 21st Century - Lou Dobbs - and his acolytes leading the way.<BR/><BR/>There is nothing treasonous about trying to find a comprehensive solution to immigration. This talk of amnesty, like the use of the federal marriage amendment and other social issues are red herrings, smoke screens.<BR/><BR/>We need comprehensive, principled and visionary leadership in 2009.fprhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04712559348039503306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22609525.post-1149226616196101812006-06-02T00:36:00.000-05:002006-06-02T00:36:00.000-05:00The new Heritage Foundation report says that the H...The new Heritage Foundation report says that the Hagel-Martinez bill (CIRA, S.2611) will lead to 103 million more immigrants over the next 20 years. This is absolute insanity. Come to Southern California and you will see the results for yourself: broken schools, hospital closings, increased crime and gang activity. Hagel is actually to the left of Hillary on immigration. “Jobs Americans won’t do” – for a slogan like that Hagel should be ashamed.
