FIENGOLD'S FOLLY ABANDONED BY HIS PARTY

The attempt by Senator Russ Fiengold, (D WI), to censure the President is not to popular within his own party. Democrats on the hill are running away from this debacle as fast as their liberal feet can take them! Fiengold himself ran from the Senate floor on Monday when he presented the measure refusing to debate the measure with Senator Arlen Spector. Several prominent Democrats including Chuck Schumer, John Kerry and the Hildabeast, (Hillary, "Rotten," Clinton), actually went out of their way to avoid the press over the Fiengold measure when they entered the capitol this morning. Kerry nearly ran into someone who was being scanned at a security post as he dodged the press. Hillary hid behind a fellow representative. Many Democrats ducked out of the Capitol secretly later in the day once again to avoid the press. Schumer who is the Democrats camera boy quickly commented that he did not know enough about the measure to make comment, this despite the fact that he was in the Senate chambers when Fiengold presented the measure Monday. In my previous post concerning the Fiengold measure it was mentioned that the Constitution,( which is the basis on which Fiengold stated his measure), does not have a provision to censure a President only House and Senate members and his hypocrisy over his own joint bill with John McCain and campaign finance which tramples the first amendment provision of free speech. Fiengold's hypocrisy does not end there. It turns out that he is NOT one of the members of the Senate or the House who was briefed on the NSA program therefore he does not have all of the details of the program nor was he among those briefed on the legal precedence for the program. Because of his fellow Democrats lack of support for his censure measure Fiengold accused the left of, "cowering, " when the President's numbers are so low. Senator your fellow libs are not cowering to the President. Even they recognize a stupid move when they see it. Although this ridiculous measure has no chance of passage by the Senate and most likely will progress no further than it has it does prove that the Democrats are gearing up the 2006 election campaign to run against the President instead of running on the issues. Terry McCauliff mentioned in an interview yesterday that the Dems were running against a, "failed Presidency, " in 06 and 08. Hey Senator Fiengold, Terry McCauliff, and all of the rest of you on the left I have a news flash for you: THE PRESIDENT IS NOT RUNNING ON ANY BALLOT ! The people are interested in the issues and who will address them. Though the Republicans have been weak and I have several issues of disagreement with the President, at least the leadership has an agenda based on plans and not just anger and hatred toward Bush which is the ONLY agenda by the left. The Democrats truly believe that stunts like the Fiengold measure will gain the backing and trust of the people. Combine this with the low poll numbers and the left believes that those of us who support the President will do as they did in 1994 and jump ship because of our disagreements. They still do not realize that 1994 happened BECAUSE the issues were addressed and the Contract With America gave a platform that propelled the Republicans into the majority. Again I have news for you on the left, though we may disagree we still support the President and the leadership and will do so in November. Ploys like Fiengold's and the anger driven agenda by the left only polarize the voters against the left. So Democrats, keep up the great work!
