even if connected to the bush admin many may have been advising
but those in charge never heard anything that differentiated from what they wanted to hear

so before we toss out the "brain" of the entire GOP
we should listen to those who tried to do right
and were castigated and ignored for it

i am not offering a blanket forgiveness for bushies
im just saying that many on the right did have differing opinions and differing ideas and were ignored in favor of the bushco agenda

1. Don't you think we have enough friggin wimps now that won't

make a stand without bringing in more??

2. I don't think of Chuck Hagel as a wimp -- for example.

I certainly don't agree with all of his positions, but he's someone I can imagine fitting in some niche in the Obama administration.
