What is it with "liberals"' interest in Chuck Hagel?

Because Hagel is against the war, so-called liberals are looking at him as a "not so bad" Republican. That is ridiculous. First, there are the unanswered questions about Hagel's co-ownership (with Dominionist Christians) of a voting machine company, and his consequent landslide win in an election he was expected to either lose or win by a few votes. Hagel has removed this venture from his resume, and the news media has never talked about his opponent's lawsuit against him.

But beyond the scandal that the media will not call a scandal, there is the fact that Hagel has a 0% rating from NARAL, a 0% rating from the League of Conservation Voters, and he has voted 95% of the time for Bush's agenda.
