Hold on now…a rational Republican?

Wow, I am truly amazed. I must salute Senator Hagel (R-NE) for his admirable speech yesterday. He actually acknowledged that politics is not a “safe” job, and that their decisions should not be based upon being re-elected or catering to party lines. This is simply amazing.

It’s really too bad that this guy hadn’t spoken up earlier, but it’s better late than never, right? While no one can guarantee that anyone else will actually listen to what he said, and vote according to what they think is right in their hearts remains to be seen. But I do Salute Senator Hagel for being so outspoken, and calling out Congress on this issue.
