Still, if you are reserving your respect, I ask you, for whom are you reserving your respect? Who is doing more for individual liberty at the moment? A good answer would be that no respect is due any elected official, I suppose. I could understand that, to be sure
Gigabelly....you're not putting me on the spot. Dan may slap my hand again for hijacking but here goes.
I don't respect any of them anymore. I appreciate their moments in time of doing what right, but in the end I fear it is nothing more than grandstanding for most. "Potomac Fever" appears to be highly contagious for these Congressmen.
I am tired of excuses, I am tired of compromise (better defined as giving away another freedom), I am tired of being INSULTED when these clowns have their staff member/intern/twerps try to tell me/you/US what I/we am supposed to understand when Sen so and so or Rep so and so voted a certain way as happened recently when I called "The Forts" office. Little snot-nose wasn't prepared for someone who is more educated and has more real world experience than he.
With regards to Hagel, I am a former Naval Officer who served my country proudly 12 years...and I'd do it again. Forget about Bengahzi....Hagel's erratic behavior has always been a concern. The peak performance of this was his press conference in Omaha to announce that he was still considering a run for the POTUS and all the bilge that built up to that moment. Then of course, lets not forget "Kerrey-gate". Needless to say after many hours of helping with campaigns, giving lots of money to campaigns...I am done with the phoney baloney, plastic banana, good time rock and roll (thanks Rush) politician. We need people who are NOT going to compromise even if they are gone from office the next year ala LtCOL Alan West.....not "deferring" to the POTUS's choice...or the other lame excuse of "history/tradition dictates respecting the POTUS's choice"....Blehhhhhh !!!
