notices regarding censure?

Don't they realize that Feingold WANTED censure in committee to slow it down and further debate and investigation, and gave Sen. Kennedy and Leahy a base for the demand for ALL the NSA documents?

Don't they understand that it is the GOPs who wanted a quick vote on censure to stop debate and further investigation?

Feingold said early last week he was pleased that censure is in committee and pleased that it sets up further investigation that BushInc was trying to avoid.

He wants senators to say that they need to investigate further.

How did so many in the left activist groups get it so wrong? Why would Act for Change tell its followers to demand censure support NOW when Feingold and like-minded senators are using censure as an issue in committee to pursue investigation that the GOPs tried to stop with a quick vote?

Whether they realize it or not - they are promoting the position that Cheney and Frist wanted. They target Senators like Kennedy and Leahy who are working WITH Feingold to make the investigation happen.

I hate when our side acts like knee-jerk reactionaries without LISTENING FIRST.
