Doesn't Feingold know that McCain and his thugs were referring to our president as someone who pals around with terrorists?

Or that McCain gets his rocks off by referring to our party as the Democrat party?

Feingold needs to remember what happens when you lay down with dogs.

1. Feingold has proven himself to be a self-aggrandizing ass who likes McCain better
than Obama.

4. I was the only Senator to vote against the USA Patriot Act in October 2001-Feingold
The post-September 11 2001, world is one with different threats and concerns. Our law enforcement and intelligence agencies face difficult challenges. But Congress must ensure that we do not give up the essential American values of freedom, justice, and privacy in the fight against terrorism.

As you may know, I was the only Senator to vote against the USA Patriot Act in October 2001, and I have repeatedly questioned the Administration's resistance to legitimate congressional oversight of its implementation of the law. I will continue to fight for modifications and improvements to the Patriot Act to better protect our rights and freedoms.


Now maybe, this is what passes for self-aggrandizing ass to you, but I love a man who defends the constitution.

7. He sometimes adopts principles I agree with, like all Senators and Congresscritters.

But he's been pretty much an ass since the campaign--very supportive of McCain at Obama's expense. He's jealous of Obama and always looks for the spotlight for himself, which is why McCain uses him for a convenient stooge--McCain ALSO is always looking for the spotlight.

8. During the Campaing-Feingold Defends Obama Against McCain Attack
Feingold, who Obama praised as a man with “the courage of his convictions,” also sounded a call for genuine bipartisanship, particularly if Democrats control the White House and both chambers of Congress next year. “The worst mistake we could make is to not include Republicans whenever we can,” he said. “That’s the formula for disaster.”http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2008/08/24/feingold-defends-obama-against-mccain-attack/


I'm not sure what issue you have with Senator Feingold's behavior that you say was pronounced since the campaign, but Obama seems to be able to respect Senator Feingold.

3. John McCain is a personal friend, a great friend-Joe Biden.

Biden, on a post-debate appearance on MSNBC, October 30, 2007: “The only guy on the other side who’s qualified is John McCain.”

Biden appearing on The Daily Show, August 2, 2005: “John McCain is a personal friend, a great friend, and I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off, be well off no matter who...”

5. I believe President Obama wants to build bridges with those
who are working in Washington. Now McCain, is not a man who is easy to listen to or work with, so I give the Great Senator from Wisconsin extra points for keeping diplomatic behavior going. This is how grown ups act. I know that the last eight years have seemed otherwise, but I believe this is how great men/women with discipline and the art and skill to negotiate behave.

6. Russ Feingold is the only politician that I trust 100%
there has never been one reason not to, including his being collegial with a fellow Senator. WTF
