Proof Russ Feingold Is Not Just Another Democrat

Not running away? Gosh, good it work?
.
Kate, I ask the same question as usual, is this ad actually running or is it put out for free media?

Oh sh*t, his people actually listened to Obama’s people when they came through town the other day.
.
Russ, Russ…
.
No wonder he’s 6 points down.
.
I’ve got to get out my checkbook again.

What did that mean?

It means this is an extremely bad call, and I’ve got to give as much money as I can to save Feingold from what is obviously a completely incompetent campaign staff.

Sweet jesus, did I just feel a cool breeze float through the suppressive political sphere? I’ll get out my credit card. Maybe even hope for a challenge to Obama.

Bad call? Incompetent staff? Please explain, and please keep it brief.

“please keep it brief”
.
LOL

Thanks sz, I was thinking it might have been a visceral BHO thing.

If he lose this election, he should blame himself. He’s not always with the Democrats so they won’t passionately come out for him this time and the Republicans will come out for their own candidates. The independents are trending republicans so no one is really passionately about him right now. Poor Russ.

No wonder he’s 6 points down.

And to Johnson, who just redlined my cretin-ometer.

“He’s not always with the Democrats so they won’t passionately come out for him…”
.
Honestly, I don’t know a lot about Feingold, but this and what I read on Wiki impresses me. Inform me. What do you mean? I truly don’t understand. Tell me. Not that I have much respect for run of the mill Dems or Repubs, but what am I missing? Seriously.

Ironically it was Feingold’s principled support of Ashcroft that (while angered me) impressed me most.

That link was interesting. Appears that Johnson is attempting to protect the Catholic church against any claims of child abuse. Weird.

PNNTO, I read about his defense of the fool who wanted to cover the “Spirit of Justice” statue, and yet I am impressed by his reasoning that the fool Bush deserved whatever other fools he wanted in his cabinet. I agree, even as I curse the Little Bush administration and his cabinet.

fj, that was my exact reaction. And, even at the time, Ashcroft had extremely strong opposition.
.
His decision was based on principle.
.
I had Wellstone as a Senator, and now Franken, and believe me to see anyone base choices on core beliefs is refreshing.
.
Even when (particularly when) I disagree.

Good question. It’s a paid TV ad, not a web-only spot.

Thank you Kate.
.
Any time these are posted it would be helpful for the reader, and save me from asking, if that was included in the post.

As one of authors of this horrible legislation called Obamacare, Feingold deserves to lose! Imagine that, only the good stuff designed to give democrats bragging rights has kicked in, yet the public still perceives this monstrosity as intrusive and poorly designed. Guess what? They are 100% correct. Wait until all of the BAD stuff…huge premium increases, inability to find a doctor who will accept medicare, increased wait times, endless paperwork and soaring Rx drug prices (just to name a few) start raising their ugly heads. The howl of protest will deafen you. The democrats built it, Obama owns it and the American public will reject it. Go to Docs4PatientCare.org, to see why 500,000 health care professionals are opposed to Obamacare.

The howls are deafening, all right.

earljr, the Dems don’t need no stinkin’ health care professionals.

Besides as Obama said, those doctors will amputate your foot just to make a few extra bucks.

The government would never do that.

Barbara Wagner had recurrent lung cancer and Randy Stroup had prostate cancer. Both were on Medicaid, the state’s health insurance plan for the poor that, like some NHS services, is rationed. The state denied both treatment, but told them it would pay for their assisted suicide. “It dropped my chin to the floor,” Stroup told the media. “[How could they] not pay for medication that would help my life, and yet offer to pay to end my life?” (Wagner eventually received free medication from the drug manufacturer. She has since died. The denial of chemotherapy to Stroup was reversed on appeal after his story hit the media.)

So, is Feingold like this clown? He wrote the bill, but he didn’t read the bill?

Paul, Wellstone and Franken as your Senators? Oh, you are lucky!

Support Feingold. He really is an independent voice in the Senate. I don’t always agree with him but he speaks from principle.

First, watch what the president said.
.
He said that the government and private insurers, much to his disappointment, do not thank good doctors with good compensation for treating diabetes with reasonable compensation. Instead, it thanks them with fair compensation if they do not succeed in treating diabetes and there needs to be an amputation.
.
Second, assisted suicide is not the same issue as health care reform. There is no correlation between people who believe that we can have a better health care system and those who believe in assisted suicide.
.
I, myself, am against assisted suicide but very in favor of improved health care.

Yes, liberalmeltdown, when the full ramifications of this bill are felt, democrats will rue the day this “stinker” was forced down our throats. We are already getting an earful from our patients and it is NOT positive for Obamacare. We are encouraging them to make their sentiments known at the ballot box and by writing letters to their elected officials…they are obviously responding. Physician cooperation is the key to any health care reform and in their cavalier, arrogant way, democrats have ruined any chance of gaining our partnership.

Ha-apr, more work than luck but I agree with your sentiment.
.
To be fair when Coleman was Senator-not so lucky.

Always there with the snark stuart. Repetitive tune you out like the GOP. Just like them hoping things will fail.

Despite whatever bitterness you feel, try not to lie, allthingsinaname.
.
It’s gross.

I’m a Wisconsin voter and have watched to ads run by Sen. Feingold’s opponent. His opponent has nothing to say. He has mucho bucks of his own and is spending it like crazy, Russ Feingold is his own man and represents the voters of Wisconsin well. Yes, get out the checkbooks and help keep the progressive spirit alive.

Your are just a malcontent stuart. You have nothing good to say.

“Wait until all of the BAD stuff…huge premium increases, inability to find a doctor who will accept medicare, increased wait times, endless paperwork and soaring Rx drug prices…”
.
Exactly what planet have you been living on?

Deny, deny, deny, sheperd, YOU will be one of those most likely to howl when inconvenience sets in. You obviously relish having your own way and to hell with everyone else. Take a number and wait, sheperd, you progressives will not be getting preferential treatment as the patient backlog grows.

“Deny, deny, deny, sheperd, YOU will be one of those most likely to howl when inconvenience sets in.”

I’ve been paying nearly five grand a year for medical bankruptcy insurance that provides almost no care until I’ve spent another five grand being sick or injured. And I’m healthy. You’re the one who’s in denial. Idiot.

Feingold has to lose by four points or more. Or he’ll probably win.

Judging by his “vote early, vote often, vote absentee” campaign, he’s intent on closing that gap:

Any margin of three points or less can be “corrected”, with Huffington reporting that MoveOn is ready to mobilize for a Franken-esque recount effort:

Johnson can’t afford to rest easy, that’s for sure…
