Halle-fracking-lujah.
Finally a Democrat with some backbone, conviction, and who's not afraid to take on a president who's at 34% in the polls:
Wisconsin Sen. Russell Feingold accused fellow Democrats on Tuesday of cowering rather than holding a vote to censure President Bush over domestic spying.Feingold is sadly right. Bush is at the helm of one of the greatest failed presidencies in American history and the Democrats continue to cower in fear. So long as Democrats continue to value their jobs more than the best interests of their party and their country, they will continue to sit back, do nothing, and enjoy their hefty paychecks and their honorific titles.
"Democrats run and hide" when the administration invokes the war on terrorism, Feingold told reporters.
Feingold introduced censure legislation Monday in the Senate but not a single Democrat has embraced it.....
"I'm amazed at Democrats ... cowering with this president's numbers so low," Feingold said.
The latest AP-Ipsos poll on Bush, conducted last week, found just 37 percent of the 1,000 people surveyed approving his overall performance, the lowest of his presidency.
Remember, even in the minority they call you "Senator" and take your calls. So why put your job on the line to become the majority when success means more work for the same pay and perks?
Now sure, success also means risking your own personal livelihood in order to save your country, but we wouldn't want the public to think Democrats cared about anything as grandiose, selfless and patriotic as that, now would we.
Pitiful.
