To Feingold Critics: How long do we wait for the Democratic Leadership...

[berni_mccoy]

TO DO SOMETHING?

The Wiretap issue has been out there FOR MONTHS. Then we find out that the Repubs AREN'T GOING TO ALLOW AN INVESTIGATION?

When are we going to stop waiting for "the mugger accidentally hit himself over the head?" Well he DID HIT HIMSELF IN THE HEAD, SEVERAL TIMES. And the Democrats keep taking a beating despite it.

I think people who are criticizing Feingold's move and/or tactics need to STEP ASIDE for new leadership. Our current leadership certainly isn't working.

WillPitt made a great thread about the controversy here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=669033&mesg_id=669033

And I don't think we should eat our own over this... but WHY CRITICIZE FEINGOLD? At least he's brave enough to do something about it.

1. That is what I have been thinking. We need to get Reid to step down, and

have a real leader, Sen. Feingold in his place. Reid has had more than enough time to lead a real charge against these Nazis and not just words.

Reid voted for the Patriot Act without Feingold's amendments to try to protect our civil liberties. We can't wait until 2009 for Feingold to run as President. We need Feingold's leadership NOW to take back the Congress. The DINOs must go.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

2. I haven't seen many people here criticizing Feingold

:shrug:

Small minority were upset about his tactics, but they seem to have calmed down considerably.

4. I'll criticize Feingold.

He needs better hair.

Other than that...

I have nothing.

3. It depends on what Bush found out about them using the NSA wiretaps

And remember how the credit card company mysteriously "lost" computer tapes with the credit card transactions for members of congress? Right before the vote on the Bankruptcy bill?

Some people say.

5. Every single day I see more and more rights being taken away..I

am sure they will stay on Air America until they get them off the air..and then they will go after the internet, and here we sit...
