Russ Feingold...
If America and the Democratic Party was to be repaired, Russ Feingold would have been elected president. Instead, powerful forces made sure he has no voice in governing our country. He would have ended these expensive wars and restored the US Constitution. He was not for sale: And everyone knew it.

Obama is the president for two more years. He'll be a scapegoat for every bad deed the Republican Congress wants to inflict on the middle class. I don't approve of the deals he has made with the devil. He could have shown more courage and probably ended up like John F. Kennedy.

After a Republican president takes office, which will probably happen, we'll have at least four more years of the Bush agenda. Do you remember what that did to America?

While we bash Obama, let's remember that he's the lesser of two evils.

Let's also keep in mind that no decent politician lasts long in Washington DC.

1. Feingold should have voted for FRR.
Instead of abandoning the Democrats.

4. Feingold not only voted for Healthcare -- he said that he would happily lose election if that was
the price to pay for passing it.

Do you still hold him up as an idealized candidate for President?

5. Silver lining. For the next two years nothing can be blamed on him...
Making a Primary challenge all the easier. And a 2012 win all the more likely.
---He will NOT be an incumbent!------------
