...sucking up to Pence.
Good stuff before considering asking for our vote for president.
During the Bush administration, Hagel maintained a "traditionally Republican" voting record, receiving "a lifetime rating of 84 percent from the American Conservative Union and consistent A and B grades from the National Taxpayers Union." On the Issues describes Hagel as a "libertarian-leaning conservative." According to Boaz, among his most notable votes, Hagel:
Voted for the Patriot Act;
Voted for the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts;
Voted against No Child Left Behind;
Voted against Bush's Medicare prescription drug bill;
Voted against McCain-Feingold.
Voted for the IWR.

Some folks seem more interested in attacking Democrats than Republicans.

Cynthia Nixon was endorsed in that race by the so-called "Justice Democrats."
