Feingold's Flakiness?
Edited on Tue Mar-14-06 04:26 PM by raysr
"There is something about Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis, that is immensely likeable, no matter the flakiness of some of his actions. Perhaps it’s the fact that there is no guile in him. Stealth and manipulative tactics don’t seem to be a part of his character. He is upfront, direct and candid.

His judgement, though, is sometimes questionable. His latest direct and upfront crusade is for the Senate to "censure" President Bush due to the administration’s electronic surveillance program.

The chances Sen. Feingold’s censure resolution will pass are nil to less-than-zero, but it has certainly delighted Democratic activists who are gaining more and more influence in the party."

1. As usual anybody who embodies progressive ideas is a flake.

2. That's the first time I've heard defining brass balls as being "flaky"

3. It sounds like a hatchet job.
This sounds eerily reminiscent of what happened to Dean. Dean is "too tempermental." Feingold is "too flaky" or has "questionable judgment." He stirs the pot, and they don't like it.

7. Let them squeal. More people support Russ than don't.

9. Cynical points of view are literally less than the classic
"dime a dozen." What amazes me is that anyone can actually get paid for such puerile, value free mutterings.
Of course, a certain desire for truth and justice is a rare commodity among the right wing so-called intelligentsia.

10. Okay, let me get this straight.
Someone who supports the Idiot who has destroyed our economy, plunged the country into unconscionable debt, started a war he has no way of winning, can't speak the English language, can't open a door without assistance, falls down and injures himself repeatedly, and wants to sell our port operations to an entity with ties to Al Qeada, is calling SOMEONE ELSE 'FLAKY'?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

11. "undercutting the war on terrorism"
That's going to be the election, again; and Feingold handed it to them.

"Osama bin Laden and the Islamicfascism around the globe are dangerous to this nation, just as they have been lethal to Dutch film producers, clubgoers in Bali, women and children in Iraq and passengers on the London subway system. Listening to conversations of such people is a vital part of our defense."

Russ better have an answer to it.

12. Since when is doing your job - flakiness
only to republicans who fail to do their job as an independent branch of the government. If congress would investigate Feingold wouldn't have to promote a censure to get the others to do their job.
