Re: Russ Feingold on illegal wiretapping and Leiberman and TWAT

In light of the terror plots that have been broken up, it's not a good idea to talk about "illegal" wire tapping. It makes the democrat party look very weak on the defense of this nation. And it will be played out again & again by the Republican party.

Russ Fiengold has no chance to win the democrat nomination. He's too far left on many issues.

There is absolutely no scenario that would benefit the United States by leaving Iraq at this time, or giving a deadline for departure. It would only strenghten the resolve of the terrorists & insurgents to stay in the fight, & would mean a major victory to them. This only means more terrorist attacks across the globe.

The only way is to win in Iraq. By staying on course to build up & train the Iraqi military & security forces, so they can defend their own country.

Re: Russ Feingold on illegal wiretapping and Leiberman and TWAT

Well Sam is an admitted Liberal lefty. OF course she will support a candidate with similar views. I would too if i were her.

However. Mainstream America would never vote for that.

Dukakus :P

I could only dream of seeing an intelligent man such as Feingold become president. What wonders he could do to cure fix the damage the Republicans have caused over the last 8 years.

Evan Bayh is a viable Dem.

But I LOVE Feingold. Danny you are so right, he could do wonders to turn this ship around.

WTF are you talking about? Feingold is a Marxist

In case you people haven't noticed, "progressive" is simply the new PC term for "Marxist".

And if you don't see anything fucked up about that then I suggest you read up on economics.

Re: Russ Feingold on illegal wiretapping and Leiberman and TWAT

Actually I think middle America does in fact differentiate between wire tapping calls originating outside the US or going outside the US where US nationals are not involved and FISA. FISA as I understand it really only applies to US nationals. Now I am fully aware that there are some bad guys who are also US nationals, but there is a provision for handling that. If they can get the law changed fine, but as long as the law is in place Bush like anyone else, is obliged to follow it. THe fact that they did not try to get the law changed until after court cases is yet one more indication of the poor judgement shown by Bush etal.

Fiengold has made the ownership of private business in Wisconsin illegal, with penalties up to 25 years hard labor. Most businesses in Wisconsin have been taken over by the state. He is a Marxist indeed.

Wow, that was interesting to hear him say that he thinks McCain would beat him in an election. It was just tossed in there at the end.

And this surprises you? It's a common tactic. Why discuss the issues when you can spew hyperbole?

Ask Hairball, he's the one making the Marxist claims. I'm just adding colorful commentary.
