BREAKING: Feingold Accuses Senate Democrats of “Cowering” To Bush»

Sen. Feingold said the following to Fox News’ Trish Turner:

I’m amazed at Democrats, cowering with this president’s numbers so low. The administration just has to raise the specter of the war and the Democrats run and hide. … Too many Democrats are going to do the same thing they did in 2000 and 2004. In the face of this, they’ll say we’d better just focus on domestic issues. … [Democrats shouldn’t] cower to the argument, that whatever you do, if you question the administration, you’re helping the terrorists.

UPDATE: Sen. Wayne Allard (R-CO) accuses Feingold of “siding with terrorists.”

    Russ, you are a MAN.

    I point to the TV and say “Son, when you grow up, be like Russ.”


  2. ElectricBassPlayer Says:

    Truly pathetic. Unbelievable. Cowards.


  3. Spudge_Boy Says:

    The Democrats are just as big of a threat to themselves as the Republicans are. I have been saying it for a long time. The Democrats are a bunch of pussies. That is why we can’t let Hillary in. She is a part of the problem, not part of the solution.


  4. lib4 Says:

    YOU GO RUSS

    Shame these cowardly Dems into taking a stand…….

    I heart Russ!!!!!


  5. Lesly Says:

    I am ashamed to say he’s right about Democratic appeasement to the White House bully pulpit.


  6. KnightErrant Says:

    “Profiles In Courage” should be required reading for all Senators. You’re not there because you look good with a lavalier stuck on your breast pocket. You took an oath to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution.” If you don’t have the guts to do that then resign, go home, and hide under your bed.


  7. dano347 Says:

    And the Bill she rode in on!


  8. Wayne Says:

    I for one am disgusted at the lack of backbonein so many Democratic Senators.

    Any liberal who doesn’t know that the Democrats have their hands in our wallets just as much as the Republicans are getting an education this week, I hope.

    Two party system does not work. These are all corrupt politicians. Republicans just happen to be in power and they have no respect for law.

    If your representative is cowering somewhere. Call them , Email them , fax them and give them a real reason to cower.

  15. norbizness Says:

    I think the DNC should change their slogan to “Democrats: Putting the Point-Two In America’s 1.2-Party System!”


  16. David B Says:

    Take it to them Russ. Maybe some of the Dems will wake-up. Maybe Howard Dean will find his balls again. The forefathers are smiling. Thank god, a liberal witha cause.


  17. Robert Carver Says:

    It is with great sadness that I see the Democrats once again do what the Republicans constantly accuse them of: show a lack of resolve and spine. Who had what to lose by supporting this censure? Finegold took a big risk here and I assume he spoke to his colleagues before proposing this and what happened? Betrayal. The Repubs will claim a huge victory here without even stepping into the ring. The Democrats can say goodbye to any significant change in Nov ‘06. They are blowing it. If this president is not impeached, no future president can be impeached for anything they do. All they will have to say is “Hey, look at what George Bush did and nothing happened to him!”

    I am worried.


  18. Speechless Says:

    We really need to start talking about how the conservatives have infiltrated the Democratic Party, just like they linfiltrated the media.

    Go Feingold Go! THAT is what we need. THAT is who we need to speak for us. He cares more about his country than his status with this admin. or his peers.


  24. Granite State Destroyer Says:

    Can you imagine being afraid of these clowns? Frist? Bush? Rove? Rumholefeld?

    What a disgrace.

  25. Drew Mackenzie Says:

    For all you who are quick to slam the Dems, please note that the appeasement is bipartisan, and only the Dems have someone who has the spine to stand up and rally his party to sanity.

    You really should be ashamed of yourself if you are doing anything other than cheering this man’s call for censure.


  26. LC Liberal Says:

    Russ is absolutely right about the Democratic cowards in Congress. Most seem to be following the John Kerry 2004 mold, down to the “I wouldn’t vote for the Iraq war now” comments. The public obviously wants something other than GWBush and the GOP, but the Democrats are can’t capitalize on it until they quit this Republican-lite grbage.

    Let Whine-gold rant, please. Destroying the Democratic Party would be the most patriotic thing he’s ever done.


  28. Mark Says:

    Will Feingold become the Dems Edward R Murrow? This country desperately needs him to be just that.


  29. Linkmeister Says:

    I wondered today:

    What if we reduced their pay to $30K a year? Would they recover some of their principles if losing their jobs didn’t cause such an economic hit?


  30. Drew Mackenzie Says:

    #30 If they got most of their money from their payroll checks it might work. But they don’t.


  31. Deb Says:

    I wrote to my CA Senators hoping that one of them (I would expect Boxer) would step up to support this forward-looking action of Feingold’s. THIS is why we lose elections, and dammit probably deserve to lose: our representatives have no sense of either integrity OR timing! This IS the time for Dems to really stand against Bush in unity.
    Sad sad sad.


  32. Paul Says:

    Gore / Feingold 2008!!!


  33. Liberals Heart Stalin Says:

    #32 - lol!!!

    This would be the death of the left. I wish they were as dumb and unpatriotic as you were!


  34. Phoenix Woman Says:

    By the way: Bill Frist thinks that censuring a wartime president for illegally spying on Americans and then lying about it is a “crazy political move”.

    But when it came to punishing Bill Clinton for winning the 1992 and 1996 elections, censure wasn’t anywhere near harsh enough for Frist and his Republican buddies.


  35. Wally O'Brien Says:

    Will Rogers (paraphrased). ” I don’t belong to a party, I’m a Democrat.”

    Even if this guy was 100% wrong, at least he’s standing up and speaking against this administration. Where are the next leaders of the Democratic party? Even Obama can truly do some tap dancing. I’ve written his office a couple of times (he’s the Senator for my state). You should see the doublespeak nonsense that comes out of his office.

    I’d vote for the local dogcatcher over Bush, but I’d have a hard time with Hillary. Currently supporting the President and the war, brings up flag burning as if that’s an issue that most Americans care about right now. I’ve got to wonder where she thinks she’s headed?


  36. Captain Obvious Says:

    This just in from Captain Obvious:

    Er, what Russ said.


  37. Gerald Gibson Says:

    I say let the neocons and ex-conservatives devour the democrats. Let them have their fill and destroy the entire party. Let America have a one party system for a few years more until this fat disgusting political system/military industrial complex pushes the American people to the brink. Let them rape us all until the progressives and the trolls from the right join together to pickfork them all and replace them with people that can communicate with the left and the right with reason instead of fear.

    I really don’t remember any dems speaking out before the illegal invasion , and includes Feingold , never the less , let’s quict attacking the dems and stand with them . Almost everyone I know we’re afraid to say diddly (except me ) and I got in fights over this . I just would say ” step out side and call me unpatrotic ” . It’s time the dems , liberals , and moderates to quit being pussies and do something . The Reform Party and the Green Party aren’t going to save us .


  41. Dolly Lanna Says:

    I have written all major players in congress to support this resolution. Please help out and write as many letters (via email and calls) as you can. Finegold needs our support. The Democrats are pathetic. We may need to clean the whole House and Senate? (except for a few brave souls) Pelosi and Reid have to get courage and unite behind the majority of the Democrats or RESIGN.


  42. dlet Says:

    I just read an article about how Reid is going to look into this and see if there is support. Lieberman was there making statements too. Two statements. Reid shouldn’t be looking for support HE should be leading this by showing HIS support and others will follow. 2nd. What the heck is Lieberman still getting a stage to talk on about Dem strategy?


  43. Phil Says:

    Pathetic, spineless Democrats - no wonder they are losers. The Democratic Leadership has got to go if there’s any hope in not electing other facists to the P/VP positions. Feingold is the only one to have serious chones to articulate the obvious, and his brethren are too afraid — of what? At least the miserable Republicans accomplished what they wanted when they stood together to impeach Clinton. These Democrats are wimps! Feingold should at least run for President, to helll with the rest of the notochord-less Democrats.

    Feingold called for action while the rest of Congress slipped back into the slime.

  52. Salmon Says:

    RUSS FEINGOLD FOR PRESIDENT

    Rumi, the poet from the middle east said about dialogue: “beyond the fields of left and right is where I will meet you”.

    the democrats are so damned cowardly they don’t know how to take a stand and see that to NOT fight Bush is to welcome terrorism in our own country by our own
    (p)resident.

    How do we know that the rest of the senate are not cowering in fear of what happened to Wellstone? That death sent a clear message to the opposition, that all rules will be broken if people step out of line.

    Four out of five dentists say you should chew sugarless gum. that is 20%. Cheney’s ratings are at or below 18% popularity, and Bush himself is plummeting.

    The Dems do not have a vision for the US as being a sustainable country able to support our own and not infringe on the resources of the rest of the world. In my own state, Senator Maria Cantwell, uh… can’t ..uh.. well…. and Senator Murray is just as lilly livered as the rest of the Democans.

    Looks like we do not have a government anymore. America is gone.

    Oh.. and yes, keep Gore out of the race..

  58. Jay Says:

    Perhaps the democrats are cowering because Feingold’s statements are not based in facts. He says, just like many liberal talking heads, that no Court has upheld any legal basis that Bush has any inherent Constitutional authority for warantless foreign surveillance. However, this is not the case.

    The Truong court, as did all the other courts to have decided the issue, held that the President did have inherent authority to conduct warrantless searches to obtain foreign intelligence information. It was incumbent upon the court, therefore, to determine the boundaries of that constitutional authority in the case before it. We take for granted that the President does have that authority and, assuming that is so, FISA could not encroach on the President’s constitutional power.

    http://www.tompaine.com/ articles/ 2006/ 03/ 14/ deja_vu_all_over_iran.php
    The pieces are falling into place for Operation Regime Change II, this time in Iran. You’d think, given how badly it went the first time, and how utterly unpredictable a showdown with Iran would be, that the Bush administration would have at least changed its m.o.—but no. Shaking his head in New York, where he was attending United Nations Security Council discussions on Iran, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said bluntly: “It looks so déjà vu.” He ridiculed the idea of sanctions on Iran as useless and ineffective, and he called the U.S. push for a showdown over Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons program a “self-fulfilling prophecy.”

    He’s right. Even John Bolton, the neoconservative saber-rattler who represents the United States at the U.N., agrees. Said Bolton, when asked about Lavrov’s comment: “If that is déjà vu, then so be it, but that is the course we are on in an effort to get Iran to reverse its decision to acquire nuclear weapons.”

    So let’s look precisely at what course that is. In the past few weeks, we’ve seen the Bush administration create a brand-new Office of Iranian Affairs at the State Department, which looks suspiciously like a step toward creating the Iraq war planning office at the Pentagon called the Office of Special Plans. No word yet on whether the Department of Defense plans to create a parallel Office of Iranian Affairs, but it can’t be far behind. So that’s déjà vu, for sure.

To parphrase Ben Franklin “Those who would give up freedom for security deserve neither and should be known as pantywaist Republicans”.

    Completely beside the point. The Troung court handed down a verdict before Congress passed FISA and the creation of a rubber-stamping court, FISC. FISA does not infringe on the Executive’s spying power because FISA is based on the Fifth Amendment and the Executive is restricted by the Fifth Amendment in regards to citizens and resident aliens. The Bill of Rights is not put on hold following a national crisis.

    By the way, in the FISC ruling you cite, the administration was arguing that FISA was constitutional (the ACLU was arguing it wasn’t in the hopes of throwing out several new provisions in the Patriot Act). After we find out Bush has been wiretapping citizens and residents without notifying FISC, all of a sudden, FISA infringes Bush’s spying powers.

    Justice lawyers say they believe that the president’s powers are consistent with FISA but that if there is any question of a conflict, the president’s powers trump FISA.

    Let’s see if we can dumb this down enough for some obviously reality-challenged GOPbot trolls here

    The President does NOT have “inherent authority” to violate the U.S Constitution any time he likes

    Such a shame the cluesless lackeys trolling here have to be exposed to a reality they can’t just spin away, no matter how fervently they wish

    Even more pathetic?

    These dimbulb ninnyhammers like Stalin Lover actually think their puny & pathetic trolling actually gets noticed and APPRECIATED by those whose ass they kiss so gladly

    Oh well, keep reaching for the stars, lil’ trooper

    And these friggin’ spineless Dems are just as much to blame for how badly off-track our country is as Dear Leader W, a clearly incompetent hack unable to perform the job of President with the efficiency & effectiveness the job truly requires

    Dear Leader W is the ultimate example of Affirmatvie Action, in the sense that one clearly so unqualified for the position trumped out over those far better suited for the job, and thanks to activist judges, this perfidy was allowed to stand

    They whose name must not be spoken have alot to do with the lack of decisiveness on the parts of most pols in DC.It may seem like bushcheney are in control but look behind them at the neocon principals and think about why there will be no action on getting rid of this illegal,immoral situation.War drums for Iran will be cover for some destructive financial manouvering that will only benefit the faithful,not the evangical whackos,but the truly faithful who include the majority of our Dem congress.When push comes to shove it will be over quickly.And all the witnesses are dying.

    I reminded them both that we have a President, not a King, and recommended they think long and hard about whether they support the Law or the Lawbreaker.

    I really don’t remember any dems speaking out before the illegal invasion , and includes Feingold

    Feingold voted against the Iraq resolution. One of the few.

    Also, ignore the trolls, all they’re here for is to disrupt and start flame wars. Just like the so-called “leaders” whose asses they lick, all they know how to do is slime and destroy.

    >I hope Feingold does run in ‘08. I couldn’t think of a better candidate more out of touch with America at the moment. If you don’t believe me, just look at the response of his fellow democrats. Can someone just give one example of where someone’s privacy was violated by the NSA wiretaps?

    Uh….I guess you have a security clearance which allows you to see the list of people who were bugged without a warrant.

    And seeing that this corrupt and incompetent administration has done a piss poor job of catching and bring terrorists to justice, my guess that Republican lemmings like yourself just assume that these crooks and liars tell the truth about anything.

    Why do guys like you hate the constitution?


  95. Mark Says:

    #51, If you say the dems are the party of no idea’s so be it. They have no reason to put forth any ideas now, as the republicans steal or kill the ideas before anyone knows the ideas exist. But I woudl take a party of no ideas and no action over a party that continually puts forth bad ideas, poorl;y executes the bad ideas then has no ability to stand up and say, that was a bad idea, lets do something different. They would rather destroy the country through policy and ineptitude rather than share governance with democrats.

  97. Gerald Gibson Says:

    He is making a cushy life being a pro politician. He doesnt do ANYTHING unless it is popular among the elite he golfs with. He didnt take a strong stand about impeachment over sex. He didnt take a strong stance when supporting Clintons attempts to get Osama. He didnt take a strong stance against doing something America has never done before by being the agressor in a war against Iraq. He hasnt said a damn thing about Saudis involvement in 911 or terrorism. He bends over when APAC comes calling.

    Where is the person that preaches like a preacher with unbending defiance against anything that is truelly immoral? All I see are reserved political correctness. If we are so concerned about saving the world what about Sudan? What about Palastine? What about the death squads in various south american countries? What about Saudis preaching the rape and pillage of innocents?
    http://www.nationalreview.com/document/document042602.asp

    Isnt there a single damn thing that any republican or democrat is willing to stand up against for nothing more than the sake of RIGHT vs WRONG?

    Rarely do you hear something like the “I have a dream” speach from these people and what better things are they doing that doesnt leave them with the time to contemplate how America can set the example for the world instead of falling back into our past animalistic ways?

    We humans have destroyed the libraries of Alexandria… setting us back how many thousands of years? Well I guess Eisenhower predicted it …

    Disarmament, with mutual honor and confidence, is a continuing imperative. Together we must learn how to compose differences, not with arms, but with intellect and decent purpose. Because this need is so sharp and apparent I confess that I lay down my official responsibilities in this field with a definite sense of disappointment. As one who has witnessed the horror and the lingering sadness of war — as one who knows that another war could utterly destroy this civilization which has been so slowly and painfully built over thousands of years — I wish I could say tonight that a lasting peace is in sight.

    Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1961

    What are you talking about? Have you EVER read the writings of this countries founders? We today act NOTHING like those people. Those people and the world they were trying to start was the ONLY thing about America this is good. Without those liberal ideals of the power being in the hands of the people FOR THE PEOPLES sakes this country is no better than nazi germany. Restraight while we violate the Constitution. Restraight while we violate th Bill of Rights? Restriaght while we show the world that we are no longer interested in setting the example, but now only care for EMPIRE?

    Yin/Yang… history repeats itself… I dont think there is anything we can do to stop it. We really are just animals it seems. Reason was a fluke in the late 1700s early 1800s.

    SENATE DEMOCRATS (and to a far lesser extent House Democrats) ARE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO ARE SO DISSATISFIED WITH THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION AND MAJORITY IN CONGRESS…

    …are just going to turn to them this fall, as being the ‘Party of Default Choice’.

    They are under the impression that had better not say or do anything ‘controversial’, or else they may inadvertantly direct the American People’s dissatisfaction towards themselves.

    And so in this present climate of an American People’s dissatisfaction, they are choosing to do nothing at all in opposition to the Administation and the Majority in Congress…

    …nothing but wait until this fall, and be the ‘Party of Default Choice’.

    GUESS WHAT?

    Doing nothing whatsoever, has never been a quaification for leadership, or anything else anywhere or at any time that I know of.

    THIS IS EXTRAORDINARY BEHAVIOUR, BASED UPON AN EXTRAORDINARY THINKING, THAT SHALL RESULT IN THE FAILURE OF THESE DEMOCRATS TO TAKE BACK THE GOVERNMENT…

    …which shall be a failure to serve a dissatisfied American People, all due to something which seems to be COWARDICE, where Courage is what We the People want right now.

    Courage is what Democrats in the Senate are wanting in right now, and because of it and because of doing nothing at all, they will become in the fall the ‘Party of Default Choice’ to nothing at all.

    We are all getting too emotional on this. Ross is great by standing up and fight for what is right, but scroll through the comments so far already made on this issue and you will see almost everybody is frustrated with cowardly democrats.
    That is not the problem. The problem is each political party comes to life by whom it represents. Republicans are truly representing corporate America and their relations are mutual and both sides (Party and corporations) are feeding off each other.
    Democrats, on the other hand have not decided whom they want to represent. They say they are pro education and social security and health care representing poor people, but at the same time blinking to corporations and looking for big money. They must take a clear side or they always will be looked at as a shadow of the Republican Party and not worthy of even called a party.
    Time to move on, I have waited long enough.
    It is time for a third party, or better yet, a 2nd party with backbone.

    #100 Your link is funny because even the most disgusting form of political expression is still protected by the constitution. I say your link is funny because once again republicans want to stifle political dissent. Sure it’s disgusting and probably amongst the worst hate speech to come out of the right, but it is still protected speech. To limit even the dregs of the earth from their right to speech is to drive another nail in the coffin with which you and your ilk have stuffed the constitution to be buried in.

    The right of security from unreasonable search…how about that one? NO American today knows that they are not being politically spied on. NONE. We are not secure in the knowledge that the peoples government will not allow that to happen. It WAS happening in Nixons administration. FISA was passed to stop it. FISA is being ignored by the same people that were in Nixons administration. So my first example is all of America.

    Journalists are being threatened with their jobs if they say anything that is true, but makes their employeer mad. That is a violation of the right to free speech.

    Where are all the progressives on TV telling the nation exactly what they think of the adminsitration? They are not there. Only one side is being given a chance to tell the nation what is going on with a long long list of facts, dates, documents, etc. That is a violation of free speech.

    I personally could not get a bank account for 3 years because I got in a dispute with my bank which used some new patriot act provision to black list me as if I am a terrorist. I dont know what right that violates, but I am no terrorist and so I was not being treated like an American… maybe someone can enlighten me to which right that violates.

  123. Amazed Says:

    I would say about 10 or 20 of the Democrats in Congress can think for themselves, and care more about the future of our country instead of the future of corporations or what the Bush Republicans want them to do.

    But Feingold is right on the money on that statement. And that’s the sad thing.


  124. Anne Says:

    The spinelessness of many of the Dems worries me a great deal. I can’t see where they have anything to lose by standing up for the truth, and demanding that the GOP stop aiding and abetting the Bush administration in obstructing the truth.

    I’m sick to death of every damn decision being made by our elected representatives having to be weighed, measured and tested for political consequences before any of them dare to take a stand, and have pretty much decided that most of them have forgotten - if they ever knew - how to do what’s right for the country. There simply is no excuse for it, and I think it’s time the people demanded more.

    So what if the censure resolution will never pass? And so what if a yes vote means that some Republican will try ot make an attack ad out of it? Seems to me that there is an abundance of credible evidence that Bush has, in fact, broken the law, and the truth of that should be far more powerful than any weasely GOP ad campaign.

    Bush is like the abusive husband who has finally been rendered almost completely useless, but whose wife is still so afraid of the power he used to have that she is conditioned to cower in the corner.

    We need to demand that our Democratic senators get out of the corner and come out swinging. At a minimum, they might find a measure of self-respect that would enable them to actually believe in the power they donlt realize they have. The country would be better for it.


  125. Michdem Says:

    I know it was boring but Kerry did explain why he voted , do you remember , his along with the rests fault comes in believing Bush would fullfill his promisses about using diplomacy first before going to war .

  128. underseige Says:

    If I were a democ. politician I wouldn’t want to be leading this govt now. Way too much damage has been done, The horrendous state of the fiscal and trade deficit is going to
    blow up soon. Right now, it’s still not evident to much of the american public. People don’t even know that they have a Republican Congress. Who ever takes over next has to solve all the problems that will pop up under their governance and whosever next in line can expect a massive outcry from the public.

    I think a lot of Democrats are waiting for the Republican crackup to destroy the party completely. Our economy could collapse into depression due to higher interest rates, historic deficits and the housing bubble deflation, which probably won’t be evident until next year.

    The military has been severely damaged, so few countries in the world fear us anymore. South Americans are thumbing their noses, Iran, Pakistan and India don’t fear us. So, What can repubs do- talk tough? They have no military left and the cold war defense budget continues with massive amounts to cold war weaponry, while limiting army divisions, troop numbers shrinking, stretched to the breaking point.

    Massive corporate tax increases will be needed to bail out the economy, trade wars will have to be fought to protect the middle class but in the meantime, the corporate media and the defense contractors will still be able to destroy any Democratic “liberal” politician who tries to correct all the weaponry pork or impose taxes on corporations. How many people could be this saintly to put themselves in front of this crapstorm. I can’t imagine being out there trying to sort thru this mess. It’s asking a lot of politicians to put themselves in front of the fierce and ignorant american rabble who will just hang them by their necks.

How about setting up death squads in south america? How about using the CIA to replace the elected leader of Iran with a dictator of Americas choosing? That is what ROME did to Israel. It goes on and on…How about Americas involvement with the Chinese Boxer Rebellion and all the opium that the west was pumping into China under the protection of Americas military? Why do you think the south east asia uses the death penatly for all drug offenses? It isnt because they are on some war on drugs…it is because the west has repeatedly used drugs to destroy their sociaties …on purpose… go to the library look it up… this empire crap is spelled our right there for all to see.

    Feingold and Murtha are both brave to stand up, but where is the Democrat who can lead his or her own party and make them cohere? I love Lone Rangers, and maybe Murtha and Feingold spoke out, even without a chorus, because they were just so frustrated with their own party and figured that someone had to say these things, even if it was only a solitary voice. But Lone Rangers do not a President make. Isn’t there anyone who can make this party act like a party instead of a chaotic cacaphony of cats?
