A Republican "moderate" shows his true colors

This time it's outgoing Republican-in-name-only Senator Chuck Hagel:

"We are educated by the great entertainers like Rush Limbaugh," Hagel said Tuesday during a speech in Washington, according to the Huffington Post. "You know, I wish Rush Limbaugh and others like that would run for office," a sarcastic Hagel continued. "They have so much to contribute and so much leadership and they have an answer for everything. And they would be elected overwhelmingly. [The truth is] they try to rip everyone down and make fools of everybody but they don't have any answers."

No, you're wrong, Senator. Limbaugh and others advocate securing our borders, limited government, and encouraging individual achievement. He has plenty of answers--including this one: that your brand of Democrat-lite Republican "moderation" is a sure path to Republican defeat and irrelevance. I see you're leaving the Senate soon. I won't miss you much. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
