STEWART: Can you explain, just briefly, what are some of your proposals?

FEINGOLD: It‘s pretty straightforward. It says that the Congress should enact a timeline, and have the president sign a bill that would say six months from the time the bill is enacted, the troops need to be out of Iraq, very similar to what we did with Somalia in the early ‘90s. That worked after Black Hawk down. We lost 18 men there. We decided, this isn‘t working, it doesn‘t make sense.

And we set a time frame, and troops were out of there safely.

The way to enforce it in my bill is to simply say the funding is no longer there at the end. But this idea that somehow we‘re going to take away something from the troops that are there already, that‘s just not true. Our proposal is that the troops will be out of there. That‘s the safest thing for the troops is to not be there.

And that‘s what our proposal would do. It wouldn‘t take away their equipment. That‘s just one of the red herrings or phony arguments that the Republicans use, and usually effectively scare the Democrats into not standing up for what is right, and that is to end this mistaken war and get back to fighting the real issue, which is those that attacked us on 9/11.

Unfortunately.

2. Feingold Just Hates Powerful Women

He's trying to make it sound like Democrats who are brave enough to stand up to losers like him are somehow bad.

Look - we're in, and we're in to win. Stop whining, Russ!

4. Manny, that WAS sarcasm, right? Please tell me it was!

[RufusTFirefly]

3. Yup.

And that's why he's my candidate for President!

... oops

Never mind.

5. Yes. Also the ONLY one to vote against

the so-called and ill-named "Patriot" Act the first time around in 2001. Feingold is always ahead of the curve, has the courage of his convictions and talks quietly but forcefully with a great deal of common sense. 99% of the others in Congress (both parties) aren't fit to shine his shoes.

9. I do believe he is the only one who

'gets' what the November election was about - Russ &........Howard Dean that is.
