Russ Feingold can now try to prove to me that he's not for the status quo, like the Republicans.

[LoZoccolo]

When he says that he won't support health care reform at all without a public option, I cannot be sure that he didn't just support the same status quo that the Republicans support the whole time, and that he didn't just say that he supported health care reform in order to trick us.

1. It's okay, LoZoccolo. Just take another big hit on that bong and it'll come to you.

[Cirque du So-What]

2. An honest-to-gawd Ralph Nader fan has a current thread in GD

Wouldn't you rather go WAGGA-WAGGA that guy than impugn the integrity of a top-10 progressive Democrat in Congress?

[LoZoccolo]

8. Who were you before you were Cirque du So-What? n/t

[Cirque du So-What]

11. I was just a nobody

a rudderless vessel adrift in a sea of miasma before joining DU.

I was a long-time lurker before joining, however, so I remember the video you made as you followed a Naderite through a crowd. It was a thing of beauty :thumbsup:

[Forkboy]

12. Who were you before you were an idiot?

Yeah yeah, alert away. :rofl:

[LoZoccolo]

13. I rarely do that anymore.

Because I know PAs == butthurt lol.

[Forkboy]

15. LOL

Sure you don't want to alert yet? Afraid to show yourself for what you are? A low life, insecure, trolling piece of shit?

I'd go ahead and alert if I were you.

[LoZoccolo]

16. lol wut

So hitting alert on people makes you a troll?

I just think it's funny, that sometimes you have these lighthearted humorous retorts, and then other times you go into fits of rage and start breaking rules. Does this have something to do with drinking alcohol?

[Forkboy]

17. No, I think you're a troll for lot's of reasons.

:hi:

[Sebastian Doyle]

3. Russ is right

there is NO reform without (at least) a true, un-triggered, public option that is open to all.

NO Democrat should support anything less than that.

[stevedeshazer]

4. Are you kidding me?

Jesus H. Christ.

Can't you find a way to tie it to Ralph Nader, too?

You're slipping, man.

[stray cat]

5. He doesn't have to prove anything to you - look at his record or ask someone from Wis

ANYONE who knows anything about democratic senators knows Feingolds record....

[stray cat]

6. You clearly are not sure of much in life if you are unsure of this

[Jim Sagle]

7. Russ is right about this. Health insurance mandates without a reall public option is bad policy

and bad politics, if you're a Democrat.

[Telly Savalas]

9. Sen. Feingold has a long record of being a results-oriented guy

not some grandstanding "truth to power" asshole that's unconcerned about getting things done.

Questioning his sincerity is as silly as questioning the sincerity of the President.

[JVS]

10. I'm sure he'll try real hard to convince you.

[roamer65]

14. Russ speaks the truth.

I support him on this one.
