If the vote had come down to the wire, Feingold like the rest of his Jewish bretheren in the Senate would have voted the way AIPAC would tell him to vote.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;


Ooops, it looks like I have to amend my statement. One idiot racist appears to have put in an appearance. What evidence do you have that Feingold hedged about this or would have voted otherwise? Zero, zip, nada. Back to StormFront with you.</description>

		<description>Russ Feingold is a true blue Progressive whose voting record and public statements always demonstrate consistency and character. 

Schumer and Feinstein are both DLC corporatists who have aided and abetted the Bush regime and its efforts to consolidate power, turn the courts to the right and pursue a unilateral foreign policy. They are part of a rightist fifth column in the Democratic party. Their links to corporate interests and the Military Industrial Complex are the best explanations for their behavior.

Interesting that when a Jewish Democrat does something right, the International Zionist Conspiracy theorists are nowhere to be found along with the &quot;I&#039;ve had it with Democrats, I&#039;m voting third party&quot; drones. When something doesn&#039;t fit their narrow, black and white narratives, they just ignore it. Anybody seen plunger?</description>

		<description>If the Democrats in the Senate had any real leadership, Schumer and Feinstein would have towed the party line but since Reid is milktoast to this administration the Dems are a fractured lot to say the least.

Feingold can continue to save his image as a maverick and a Senator who appears to be for the people but he was hedging on his vote until it was safe for him to vote no.

If the vote had come down to the wire, Feingold like the rest of his Jewish bretheren in the Senate would have voted the way AIPAC would tell him to vote.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know whether these Democrats are cowards or they&#039;re being blackmailed - or both. 

What I do know, though, is that I&#039;m sick to death of their broken promises. 

The vast majority of the American people support them. The friggin&#039; CONSTITUTION supports them. What the hell are they afraid of?</description>

		<description>Funny how it took Feingold so long to realize that waterboarding is torture.I guess Feinstein &amp; Schumer think it&#039;s not.
Feinstein is a republican ,she couldn&#039;t get elected in San Francisco if she had acknowledged that yrs ago.And how did she serve the many minorities that helped her get started in politics in San Francisco ,she voted to bring a noted racially insentive judge to a prominient federal judgeship.now knowing that do you really think Feinstein supports the Dem party &amp; what it stands for .</description>

Reid and Pelosi need to leverage their positions. Reid can put the screws on if he had some gnads.

Comment by BARTLEBEE&lt;/em&gt;

That&#039;s right.  I&#039;m sure that if Republican Senators went so far off the reservation and opposed Bush, and if the Republicans still controlled the Senate, their Senate leadership wouldn&#039;t hesitate a second to play extreme hard ball with their own.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Let Feinstein and Schummer know that if they donâ€™t get with the party on this one that every single bill they introduce from now until the cows come home will be shunned. Squeeze them. Pressure them. Threaten them.&lt;/em&gt;

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid needs to get involved in this.  I don&#039;t think Feingold has the power to pressure fellow Senators.  But Reid can deal a death blow to Senators who so blatantly and shamelessly go over to the Republican side, the way Schumer and Feinstein are doing.  Let him take away all their committee memberships.  Let him take away any position of prestige and power they currently enjoy in the Senate.  Render them totally irrelevant.  A party has got to stand for something.  You can&#039;t just take such a big crap on the people who support the party, such as Schumer and Feinstein are doing, and expect to retain all your privileges and power.</description>

<p>Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid needs to get involved in this.  I don&#8217;t think Feingold has the power to pressure fellow Senators.  But Reid can deal a death blow to Senators who so blatantly and shamelessly go over to the Republican side, the way Schumer and Feinstein are doing.  Let him take away all their committee memberships.  Let him take away any position of prestige and power they currently enjoy in the Senate.  Render them totally irrelevant.  A party has got to stand for something.  You can&#8217;t just take such a big crap on the people who support the party, such as Schumer and Feinstein are doing, and expect to retain all your privileges and power.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=4144612', 400, 400)"></a></p>

E-mailed her, received back the equivalent of a pat on the head.

She needs to be replaced by someone who still respects the Rule of Law.</description>

		<description>&quot;Was his lone â€œnoâ€ vote on the Patriot Act mere posturing as well? Any man willing to stand alone on behalf of democracy against overwhelming opposition for no political benefit to himself has earned my trust eternally.&quot;

Comment by ignatov â€”

Let&#039;s speak to this specific instance.  He already knew two other dems were voting to pass Mukasey, making his vote - what?  Why did it take him this long?  Leahy (and others) had already identified their positions, so what tangible good did this announcement do?

Being liberal, I learned long ago to look beneath the political surface.  How about you?</description>

		<description>Feingold has always voted his conscience, regardless of the political fallout or political advantage.Sure, his vote of no will be of little value, but he&#039;s taken unpopular positions in the past, so don&#039;t be so quick to discount this one as political grandstanding.</description>
