He’s a Republican on every day except Sunday:
“For example, the Republican Party, interestingly enough as the new chairman of the Republican Party said in his acceptance speech two days ago, needs to get back to what it once stood for,” Hagel, a Vietnam veteran, continued. “The party that I first voted for on top of a tank in Mekong Delta 1968 is not the party I see today.”
Hagel said that right now he’s “not a candidate for any office,” but he will make a decision about the 2008 race soon. Earlier, Hagel said on C-SPAN that he would consider running for president as an independent, but he told Bob Schieffer that he will stay a Republican. What it means to be a Republican, he said, is what should change.
