Some may consider this a frivolous post, but I've spent some time recently looking up information on the Wisconsin Senator and damned if I can find one thing that he didn't do right.
Feingold voted against: The war, the patriot act, NCLB, the bush tax cuts, the partial-birth abortion ban, DOMA, Anti-terrorism and effective death penalty act, NAFTA, the list keeps going and going....
This guy has some guts! But not only did he stand AGAINST the worst, but he also stood FOR the best.
-McCain/Feingold - nuff said
-supported spending caps
-has very high rating from LCV, NAACP, Leadership Council on Civil Rights, National Hispanic Leadership
-Is a defecit hawk
-Doesn't accept his own pay raises.
-moderate on gun control issues
-opposes national standardized testing
Is there something I'm missing? It seems too good to be true. Unless one of you has some major dirt on him that I don't know about, Russ Feingold is among the greatest senators ever elected.
