In an interview with the Omaha World-Herald, Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel (R) suggested that Palin doesn't have the foreign-policy experience to be president.

Sen. Hagel doubts Palin's ready

"She doesn't have any foreign policy credentials. You get a passport for the first time in your life last year? I mean, I don't know what you can say. You can't say anything."

Now here is a true Conservative that is putting country ahead of party. There are still some of those around. And the lunacy of the ultra-right usurpers of the Republican Party is driving them out of the shadows of the neocoNazi-fundamentalist coalition.

"I think they ought to be just honest about it and stop the nonsense about, 'I look out my window and I see Russia and so therefore I know something about Russia. That kind of thing is insulting to the American people."

Amen, Senator Hagel. You are a real Patriot.

McCain/Palin do ruffel feathers and stir things up, even in their own party. Unlike Obama/Biden who are wholly owned subsidiaries of the fringe lunatic radical left-wing of the demoralized, disgraced democrat party.

Obama doesn't have the guts to stand up to an American hating terrorist in his own democrat party, the disgraceful William Ayers.

And of course Biden, the serial plagiarist with capped teeth and hair plugs is a complete tool of his lobbyist son and brother who shill for Mastercard.

McCain will win the election by at least 5 points.

Ruffel feathers? You mean, act like Democrats, but only after their life-long conservative economic principles have been laid to waste for all to see. But rest assured, after the highly doubtful election of Capt. Dynamic and Mrs. Breath-of-Fresh-Air Palin, they will revert back to their true colors, and our experiment in constitutional democracy will be over.

And the best you can do in trying to dismantle Obama's character is to once again parade out his old professional association with a former 60s radical who now teaches at the Univ. of IL - Chicago. You can't really believe this excrementa. I sure hope they're paying you more than you're losing on your house and investments.

Typical left-wing deranged talking points.

William Ayers was a vile terrorist who brags about blowing up American institutions. He's never apologized. Obama doesn't have the guts to stand up to him. He's afraid to stand up to people in his own party. McCain has no problem making enemies and standing up to his own party.

And don't worry about my real estate investments. Just keep killing, maming and over-billing unsuspecting patients and leave the investing to me Dr. Malpractice.

Junebug, Is this all you got???? I knew it would be a waste of my time to read your links. You are hilarious! Too Funny!! Put a bag over your head!

This is it folks! These are June's sources:

Commentators like George Will, Charles Krauthammer, David Frum and Ross Douthat demur, suggesting in different ways that she is unready.

Joy Behar,A comedian on the View, took McCain to task for some of the ads his campaign has been running.

You forgot to mention David Brooks, Tuppie - oh, I know, David who?

Well, NYT readers and fans of Jim Leherer will recognize him as a thoughtful Conservative - from Wiki:

In a March 2007 article published in the New York Times titled No U-Turns, Brooks explains that the Republican party must distance itself from the minimal-government conservative principles that had arisen during the Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan eras. He claims that these outdated concepts had served their purposes and should no longer be embraced by Republicans in order to win elections. [1]

In the linked article, Brooks states:

Experienced leaders can certainly blunder if their minds have rigidified (see: Rumsfeld, Donald), but the records of leaders without long experience and prudence is not good. As George Will pointed out, the founders used the word “experience” 91 times in the Federalist Papers. Democracy is not average people selecting average leaders. It is average people with the wisdom to select the best prepared.

Sarah Palin has many virtues. If you wanted someone to destroy a corrupt establishment, she’d be your woman. But the constructive act of governance is another matter. She has not been engaged in national issues, does not have a repertoire of historic patterns and, like President Bush, she seems to compensate for her lack of experience with brashness and excessive decisiveness.

Ah, but an undaunted 2 Center plunges ahead to vote-by-god for McSame-Palin! Go 2 Center!

Hey - is the Voice of Colorado still operating?

So your comical response is to dwell on one person; a Democrat; an an acquaintance of Obama through work; a former militant war protester who blew up a statue 38 years ago. Your pathetic argument is to claim that since Obama has not specifically singled out this one man -- against whom no criminal charges were ever filed -- and denounced him in public, Obama could not possibly stand up to the evil Democratic Party. You are a joke. No wonder you enjoy the new anonymous-posting feature so much. I couldn't have enough false indentities within false identities to keep from being embarrassed if I wrote the BS that you submit as proof of your self-proclaimed brilliance.

No one is afraid to debate you Danny. You are a push-over in a debate. If anyone hangs up on you when you call into their shows, that's because they have work to do, not because they fear the wannabe hasbeen hack on the other end of the line. Your malicious style and ability to toss out personal attacks in place of logic only works for the small gaggle of fools that praise the self-absorbed, derision-shoveling thugs of the virtual world. Your ploy is transparent. You don't come here to seek the truth or expose the hypocrites. Your a paid shill who comes here to lie to us, confuse the already confuse, stop any real conversation, and act out your hostilies in the only forum where your nose won't get broken.

What do you stand for Danny? What are your core principles when you'll twist your logic and deflect an argument anyway you can to try and score your knockout blow? How do you live with yourself? Oh, I know. When self-loathing consumes you, you log on to beat up on other people. It feels good.

"Even conservatives have had enough"

Uh huh... you could only name ONE? And that is your evidence that conservatives have had enough?

Come back with some real substance and names to back up your dishonest title. Or just change your title to "At Least One Conservative Has Had Enough: The Republican Version of Joe Lieberman"
