It was a joke you guys!! Feingold IS NOT MARXIST. He is a Progressive Democrat and he could save us if we let him. He would stop the constitutional violations, he would protect our rights and liberties and he would finally get some security on our ports, chemical plants, nuke plants etc...we are not even one iota safer now that we were before 9/11. NYC doesn't even have the police and firemen on the same radio frequency yet. Ridiculous.

Wow, and Feingold has a magic wand that will make all that go away? Coolness.

I did like Feingold's position in that unlike many (even some here), he is not advocating silencing Lieberman just because he does not like his message.

apparently you have never heard of the mccain-feingold act. Talk about restricting our freedoms. If he had his way people like Rush Limbaugh, Boortz, Hannity, and Savage would be restricted from discussing political issues 30 days prior to an election.

Why is it freedom of speech to give large sums of money to a political candidate. That's certainly not in the constitution, aren't conservatives originalists?

Yesterday, John McCain actually said that if he’s president he’ll take on, and I quote, 'the old boys’ network in Washington.' I’m not making this up. This is somebody been in Congress for 26 years, who put seven of the most powerful Washington lobbyists in charge of his campaign. And now he tells us that he’s the one who’s gonna take on the old boys' network,” he said. “In the McCain campaign that’s called a staff meeting!- Obama, 9/17/2008

Somebody's gotta do it! Bush certainly hasn't done anything about it!
Feingold is the man. Hey Matt can you do me a favor fix my title, I misspelled Lieberman? I hate that.

Ok i'll play teacher again. You aren't allowed to donate however much money you want to a candidate. You can create a PAC (political action commitee) that's purpose is to raise money for the candidate you want to be elected. I believe the most anyone can donate directly to a candidate is 2500$

McCain-Feingold specifically targets talk radio and denies these americans their freedom of speech because they don't think it's fair that these talk show hosts have such an influence over so many people. And democrats claim the value the 1rst amendment. Well I suppose that's true as long as you say what they want you to.

Varus

If what you say is true varus WOW just wow

Im 100% against shutting anyone up left ot right

Al Franken SPeak on 100% Allen Comes etc I dont want to shut anyone up.

even the hate rascists speakers anti semites on this board I allow them their platform this is the place to do it.

varus says alot of outrageous things that aren't true. I'd like to see a link to the bill and a quote from the bill varus, that shows what you say it says. If you please.

Feingold a Marxist!

What a joke.

Tell me, o sages of politics:

What was Russ's margin of victory in 2004 vs Bush's margin of loss during the same election cycle?

And what do those numbers tell you nimrods of fact?

Why is it freedom of speech to burn the American flag? That's not listed in the Constitution either.

Your question is nonsensical, as Bush did not lose the 2004 election. His margin of loss cannot be defined, since he didn't lose.

Powerful stuff; of course this backfired on the Dems who were receiving quite a bit more soft money than the Repubs.

I have a memory like an elephant; it would blow your mind how much I can recall; of course I attribute this to not drinking and doing drugs. So understandably most from Cali would be shocked at my talents.

Matt,

I was referring to Wisconsin.

But for the larger picture, see RFK Jr,'s article in 'Rolling Stone'.
