In reviewing previous posts from the other site it appears I have something against my senior Senator.  Personally I have never met the man but I know people who have and they all seem to think he's a congenial enough fellow.   My problem is with his politics, and in that regard it's not personal.  I have something against anyone in a position of power who knowingly aids and abets our enemies by undermining the effort, and morale, here at home while providing soundbites for Osama Bin Laden and his ilk over there. 

My complete confidence that he will continue in this vein warrants the singular distinction of his very own archive catagory here at the Murmur.  I will transfer previous rants as time allows.  Indeed our Al Russell bin Feingold is a special case.  In fact, now that WJ "The Pantload " Clinton is more or less out of the business Feingold is the prime example and living proof that "good politician" is an oxymoron.

Must be a tough week when Senator Feingold's latest endeavors to hasten our defeat in Iraq gets defeated.  Reminds me of the brain teaser: If you set out to fail and succeed, which have you done? (h/t to Jan in Ohio)

Not only did the Democrats back down, they went out with a whimper.  How utterly apropos.  Hopefully this may help leadership realize what many of us have been saying all along; just because polls show a majority are against the war doesn't mean we want to lose it.  As far as this conservative is concerned the major frustration in this conflict is that it doesn't appear we are doing all we can to end it quickly the old fashioned way - - by winning.  Here in the land of beer, sausage, cheese, and Vince Lombardi fame, it is hard to fathom how such a basic concept is so easiliy missed by Feingold and his fellow travelers.
