Feingold to Democrats: Stand Up to Bush


The Democrats had better listen to Russ.

The next two years will spell the end of one party or the other.

If the Democrats grow a spine quickly, it will be the Rethgs who go down. Otherwise, there will be a thrid party movement like nothing this nation has seen in modern times.

Feingold to Democrats: Stand Up to Bush - Yahoo! News:

"WASHINGTON - Sen. Russ Feingold (news, bio, voting record), a potential anti-war candidate in the 2008 presidential field, urged fellow Democrats on Monday to show more backbone in challenging President Bush on Iraq.

'We must get out of our political foxholes and be willing to clearly and specifically point out what a strategic error the Iraq invasion has been,' Feingold, D-Wis., told a National Press Club audience.

He said some Democrats in Congress gave in to 'intimidation' by the Bush administration when they voted to authorize the war in 2002, and warned: 'If we do not show both a practical and emotional readiness to lead in the fight against terrorism, we will lose in '06 and we will lose in '08, just like we did in '02 and '04.'
