Rick Santorum to Oppose the Chuck Hagel Nomination
Thursday, January 10, 2013
Former Republican Senator Chuck Hagel, who happens to be President Obama's choice for Defense Secretary to replace Leon Panetta, has a foe, in the name of Rick Santorum. The former senator from Pennsylvania who happened to be a 2012 GOP presidential candidate, says that he will oppose the nomination.
The question here is just why would he not support a Republican to serve in the Obama Cabinet? I could understand why some Democrats are questioning why Obama isn't selecting a person from his own party for the Secretary of Defense job, but for Rick Santorum to oppose a Republican in the Cabinet is beyond my reasoning. It's hard to figure out what goes on in a radical mind such as Rick Santorum. I credit him for a big part in destroying the Republican chances to defeat President Obama in 2012. But he is like a sore throat that never goes away or better yet, a cancer that is terminal.His only ability is to destroy others. One thing is for sure, it's nice to know that he will never ever get the nomination of his own party for President in the future. There are better candidates in the wings for the 2016 GOP ticket, and here you see that a guy that his own party will never nominate for president talk down other people in his party, maybe because he's just a sore looser and just a disgusting person. Also, it is now known that the pro-Santorum advocacy group called 'Patriot Voices' will start with on-line ads to oppose the nomination, Rick's only medium to distort the truth. Yes, Hagel is receiving criticism for his perceived lack of support for Israel in the past from both parties, but will their lack of support hold back the nomination of Hagel? I hardly doubt it. I'm sure that Hagel will support President Obama's stance on Israel. I'm sure that would be one condition of the job and since he has accepted the nomination and will fight for the job, it only stands to reason that he will support President Obama's beliefs on Israel.
Instead of questioning Chuck Hagel, now lets look at the reputation of a guy by the name of Rick Santorum.
Yes, Santorum actually did serve with Hagel in the Senate for at least 10 years, a member of the Armed Services Committee, but what are Santorums position on things? Does anyone care at this point? Why even waste time on the reputation of a person who is just irrelevant today in politics!
