Reaction to Feingold's censure of Bush?

I think you need to add

"I'm Dick Cheney - shut the fuck up or I'll shoot you in the face"

as an option.

until the constitution is completely dismantled.

HOW he went about it . . . until I thought it through, that is . . .

the bottom line is that, at this point, ANYONE standing up and attempting to tell the truth about BushCo has my unqualified support . . . but how Feingold went about it puzzled me -- at first . . . but I think I might have figured out his reasoning . . .

allow me to explain . . .

normally, a senator putting forward an important piece of legislation -- or a censure resolution -- would first do the necessary groundwork to line up support from his colleagues . . . then, when the resolution is introduced, a couple dozen other senators would have his back, thus lending the resolution the gravitas it deserves . . .

apparently Feingold didn't do this, and that had me scratching my head a bit . . . until I started reading the responses of other senators and Senate staff . . .

I think Russ calculated -- and probably correctly -- that trying to gin up support for this resolution in advance would be an exercise in futility -- and get him bupkus . . . most senators would advise caution, going slow, even withdrawing the resolution altogether . . . just so they wouldn't have to put their asses on the line . . .

so Russ had a choice to make: to subject himself to their namby-pamby cowardice and "sage advice", or to just damn the torpedoes and proceed full speed ahead . . . forcing THEM to play catchup with HIM . . .

which is exactly what he did . . . he introduced the resolution and put his colleagues in an extremely uncomfortable position (from their perspective), a place that they DO NOT want to be, i.e. actually taking a position on something of import . . . they've managed to avoid doing that pretty regularly, and they sure don't want to change now . . .

my response to these senators is "Tough shit! Since none of YOU are doing anything to try to hold Bush accountable, someone had to do it!" . . . and that someone was Russ Feingold . . .

so I support Russ 100% for lighting a white hot flame under their collective chickenshit asses and forcing them to either stand for the Rule of Law, or to support BushCo criminality -- the only two choices they have . . .

it's about time someone did . . .

Feingold did what any hero does, he stopped waiting for others and took charge. It's something I truly believe the majority of American people are waiting for -- a sign of LIFE from the Dems to match their disapproval of Bush** and the Repub Congress. By god, I hope they heard him shout!

And to those Senators who don't back censure, may you live to rue the day.

but even if Democrats DON'T line up behind him, it will be a success because we'll be reminded once again which of his colleagues are actually looking out for us.

Bush did nothing that requires censure or impeachment in his entire presidency.


Come out and play. :popcorn:

Jeff Gannon and coke.

Most of them are too cowardly to go fight in the war they support. They can't even respond and defend their position anonymously on a forum. Chickenshit chickenhawks
