Reply #497: Those two

Kucinich and Feingold, all they can do is vote. Obama just signs the bill so while you give him credit for HCR and others, he needed Congress to vote for it so he can sign it. I'm sure Kucinich voted for many bills the President signed so in my mind Kucinich and Feingold get credit in my eyes for how they vote. I really like Feingold's stance on civil liberties and the DP. Only one to vote against the PATRIOT ACT. Well he wasn't successful, I feel that is more important than an "action liberal" voting for it as a means to get things done. In fact he led a filibuster against a renewal of the act, however it wasn't successful but managed to get some minor things changed but still voted against it. I like the fact that he keeps on fighting because that disgusting piece of legislation is really an assault on our civil liberties and that is what matters to me. It is not better for me for him to ignore the issue and try to be an "action liberal" whatever that means.
