Well, Hagel has obviously suffered some form of mental dementia in the intervening years. Oh, wait, that's McCain!

Why don't these guys ever hire people to keep them consistent with themselves?

But he's not nominated for Secretary of State.

So? The first quote says, "... in any capacity ...".

...in the context of Secretary of State.

This also implies that McCain cannot change his mind based on new information.

No it isn't. He's saying he'd make a good Secretary of State in the context of serving in any capacity.

Perfect.

Remember that in Jeff grammar the only relevant subject of a sentence is the one from the last clause of that sentence.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

A lot can happen in 8 years...

"Consistency" is for commies and liberals.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but weren't most of the complaints about Hagel from statements made well before 2006?

I honestly haven't been keeping up with their shenanigans. I just was remarking on the time span that those remarks were made. Honestly I would consider someone capable of doing the job to my standards just because once out of so many times they had to prove themselves they did good.

The claim that he has no managerial information isn't be new, and if that's what he's basing his rejection on now I'd be curious to know why he felt it was not a problem previously.

Does Secretary of State require "managerial experience"?

He said Hagel would be great in any capacity and he'd be happy to have him as secretary of state.

Now, he is saying he has no "managerial experience".

So, most charitably, he floated a man with "no managerial experience" as a "great secretary of state".

There is no "new information" that would take away managerial experience Hagel had in 2006 or make him have LESS managerial experience than in 2006.

That is not consistent and makes that criticism of him for the Pentagon post look like hackery.

And you have to know that.

LOL. acrobatics, you does them.

Keep trying.

so a loan shark saying to me "I'm going to come over there, break your legs, rearrange your face and eat a jelly donut" means that I need to visit the bakery!!!!

to be fair, McCain also suggested that an untested, arguably corrupt woman from Alaska would be a good president. Really, the question isn't regarding McCain's changing his mind on Hagel, it's why anyone frakkin' listens to him in the first place. It's not like he's ever exhibited good judgement.

Proof that the GOP does not know how to do anything but obstruct progress in the name of political gamesmanship.

Also, we're arguing with someone who has a track record of supporting low-hanging fruit like Palin, Perry, Rubio.

o be fair, McCain also suggested that an untested, ~~arguably~~ corrupt woman from Alaska would be a good president.

FTFY.

And yeah, not sure why anyone is floating his opinion on anything.

The important and consistent fact that links these two statements is the party of the president at the time they were made.

If we'd elected Romney like he told us to, they'd be making a lot of progress towards forgetting about the deficit and invading Iran.

I don't have a lot of buyer's remorse yet, oddly enough.

Me neither

Somebody dragged out McCain's dead hooker again.

McCain only changes his mind when they drag out his dead hooker.
