[Liberal Veteran]

1. Fascinating how all the "Nays" have an "R" beside their name.

Bastards.

[Diane R]

2. And this is why Hagel could never be Obama's VP. He voted 'nay'.

[tnlurker]

3. I can't believe it.

Both Alexander and Corker voted against Bush. It must be a first.

[Breeze54]

6. So did Stevens (R-AK) !!!!

:wtf:

[Firespirit]

4. Hagel voted Nay, huh

Maybe this will help put an end to this "Hagel for VP?" BS.

[Breeze54]

7. Let's frigging hope so!!!

He's a :puke: all the way!!

[Breeze54]

5. What happened to McCain (R-AZ) & Obama (D-IL) ? Why NO Vote?

:wtf:

[MiniMe]

8. They are out campaigning

I don't think McCain has cast a vote for a very long time. Obama comes back when the dems need his vote.
