| | Chuck Hagel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Charles Timothy "Chuck" Hagel (born October 4, 1946) is the senior United States Senator from Nebraska. | | | Since his election to the Senate in 1996, Hagel has served as deputy whip for the Republican Caucus. | | | In November of 2005, Senator Hagel made a much-publicized statement saying "To question your government is not unpatriotic -- to not question your government is unpatriotic." This was in reference to the increasing amount of debate surrounding the Iraq War, and his assertion that the United States should withdraw its troops. |

| | Hagel was the first Republican in 24 years to win a Senate seat in Nebraska. | | | As his hagel.senate.gov website says, Hagel "was re-elected to his second term in the United States Senate on November 5, 2002 with 83% of the vote. | | | The Washington Post (1/13/1997) said Hagel's "Senate victory against an incumbent Democratic governor was the major Republican upset in the November election." According to Bev Harris of www.blackboxvoting.org, Hagel won virtually every demographic group, including many largely Black communities that had never before voted Republican. |

| | An interview with Sen. Chuck Hagel, Republican from Nebraska, on his new climate bills By Amanda Griscom Little Grist ... |
| | Hagel spoke with Grist from his Senate office in Washington, D.C., about the debate over what's causing global warming, his opposition to mandatory emissions caps, and the divide in the Republican Party between those who do consider climate change an urgent concern and those who don't. | | | Hagel has been sounding off on the challenges of climate change at venues like the Brookings Institution, and late last year he met with British Prime Minister Tony Blair to discuss how to reengage the United States in international efforts to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. | | | We have some in the Republican Party and my colleagues in the Senate, like John McCain [Ariz.], Linc Chafee [N.H.], Olympia Snowe [Maine], probably five Republicans out of 55 that take a different approach to how we deal with it, but I don't think it's any kind of fracturing issue within the Republican Party. |

| | The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Trouble hits Bolton nomination |
| | WASHINGTON &; Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., signaled yesterday that his support for the nomination of John Bolton as U.N. ambassador was wavering after new reports that Bolton had ordered an intelligence analyst removed from his job. | | | The analyst, a State Department employee who now works on Hagel's Senate staff, is the third intelligence analyst who was reported to have been threatened or intimidated by Bolton, who has served since 2001 as undersecretary of state for arms control and international security. | | | Hagel's remarks served as a warning that confirmation, which had been considered assured, could falter if Democrats succeed in producing more evidence against Bolton. |

| | In McCain's shadow, Hagel prepares for '08 |
| | Hagel rejected a suggestion that he held back some of his doubts about Bolton until after Sen. George Voinovich (R-Ohio) raised them at a Foreign Relations Committee hearing — surprising party leaders who had been expecting unified GOP support in committee. | | | He indicated that he held doubts about John Bolton’s nomination to the United Nations and was one of three senators to urge a delay in his confirmation hearing. | | | When McCain led negotiations on a compromise to get votes on some filibustered judicial nominees, but not others, while holding off the “nuclear option” to end the Democratic filibuster, Hagel was not one of the group of 14 Republicans and Democrats who joined in the deal. |

(According to CQ's Politics in America 2006, Hagel got an 87% score from the ACU in 2004, supported the President 94% of the time, and the majority of his party 93% of the time). |
