The more I read about Russ Feingold, the more I like him.

me too...He is getting the most attention from me, anyhow.  I think he has a head on his shoulders and knows what best to do about many issues.  I am definately keeping an eye on him as my candidate, for sure.

He supports a single-payer health care system and that is my top priority in a candidate.

It's called smart leadership. A man of courage.

Did you catch Frist meowing a reply?

Russ is giving aid and comfort to the enemy..."out attacking the commander in chief doesn't make sense. Russ is flat wrong. He is dead wrong. He is wrong.... we should be supporting the Commander-in-chief, who is out there fighting al-Qaeda and the Taliban and Osama bin Laden.

Senator, is that all the meow you can muster?

Last time I looked the commander-in-chief was playing a guitar, eating cake and Osama has long bin forgotten. And not a lick of sense on what to do about the Iraq civil war.

Just found this !
The Wisconsin Democrat, considered a presidential contender for 2008, said he had not discussed censure with other senators but that, based on criticism leveled at Bush by both Democrats and Republicans, the resolution makes sense.

The president's action were "in the strike zone" in terms of being an impeachable offense, Feingold said. The senator questioned whether impeaching Bush and removing him from office would be good for the country.

In the House, Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, is pushing legislation that would call on the Republican-controlled Congress to determine whether there are grounds for impeachment.

Go Russ!!
