Sen. Chuck Hagel Offering Honest Criticism

Sen. Chuck Hagel Offering Honest Criticism of Presidential Candidate John McCain.

It's a breath of fresh air to hear some honesty in the Republican ranks. I certainly appreciate his candor and integrity. Some analysts were quick to jump to the conclusion to judge his motives to be out of pure selfishness. Maybe, maybe not. It all depends if he thinks he can make a big contribution to the nation.

I think that if most Republicans had the courage to be honest and do what is right, they wouldn't be losing their seats on re-election. People are tired of the Bush-McCain lies and many Independents are smarter than to believe McCain. National poll numbers prove it. The more John McCain lies, the bigger the lead Barack Obama will have.

My personal belief on Sen. Chuck Hagel is that he is a true soldier. There is something taught in the US Army about Honor, Integrity, and Loyalty to one's country that most outsiders just won't understand. This is especially true of soldiers who won many military decorations and honors such as: Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry, Purple Heart, Army Commendation Medal, and the Combat Infantryman Badge. Chuck Hagel is one of those soldiers.
