Lori, how has Sen. Feingold voted against the will of a majority of his constituents?

The fact is, he’s voted exactly how I’d expect, given the things he said he stood for when he was running for the Senate. If you’re surprised at how Sen. Feingold has voted, then quote honestly you haven’t been paying attention to things.

Senator Feingold knowingly and deceitfully has and continues to vote against the will of the majority of his own constiuents.

The comment “I’d rather have a U.S. Senator who will do what’s right, even if it’s not what’s popular.” in this article is glaringly strange.

Could these be sentiments of the Honorable Russ Feingold?

This would explain why Feingold and his fellow congresspeople, have ignored ALL credible polls, our letters, phone calls, rallies, saying STOP SPENDING, STOP TAXING, STOP THE BAILOUTS, STOP DESCONSTRUCTING THE BEST HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN THE WORLD, STOP DISREGARDING THE U.S. CONSTITUTION AND OUR RIGHTS, STOP THE PORK,STOP LEGISLATION THAT ENCOURAGES VOTING FRAUD, STOP BUYING MULTIMILLION $ VOTES WITH TAXPAYER MONEY WE HAVEN’T EVEN MADE YET, STOP PUTTING MY CHILDREN’S FUTURE AT HIGH RISK, STOP!

Feingold thinks Wisconsites aren’t smart enough to know what is right for them. He even thinks he will easily retake his seat in 2010.

Senator, if you’re listening like I think you are, you are wrong about us and the majority of Wisconsin will prove this when they vote you out of office in 2010.

In the interest of more disclosure, Feingold voted 88.9 with his party in the 110 congress, which was above the mean. http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/110/senate/party-voters/

and 87 in the 109th v. a democratic mean of of 85.

All in all, he’s pretty close to the party averages.

AJ, I think you’re right. The more folks get to know Terrence Wall, the less there is to like about him.

I couldn’t agree more. He knows full well he’s not going to win, but the name recognition is all he needs to call it a victory for himself.
Unfortunately, for him, I think the name recognition will go right along with people realizing what kind of person he really is – which will not help him in the least.

Jill, you might really be on to something there. I keep hearing Sen. Kohl won’t run for reelection in 2012, and I can’t help but think Wall’s just building name recognition for a run against Sen. Kohl – or better yet, for Sen. Kohl’s empty seat.

Jim, that same poll was referenced by Wall & Co. in the press release announcing his candidacy. I have yet to see anything on who conducted the poll, the sample size, etc.

I think his reluctance to self-finance his 2010 campaign says a lot about his confidence in his ability to beat Feingold. I don’t think he believes the bullshit he’s peddling. He’s just building name recognition (and a donor list) so he can go after Kohl’s seat in 2012.

Speaking of polling, in the interview Wall also claimed a poll they conducted stated he would win if the election was conducted today, with 62 (I think?) percent of the vote. The question? “Would you vote for a successful Wisconsin businessmen who would act as a break on Obama or would you vote for Russ Feingold an 18 year incumbent elected official?” This was at about 29 minutes into the audio interview.
I don’t like to namecall but Wall is an idiot if he thinks that is the case… Or maybe he’s just not going to bother campaigning, 12 percent lead, right guys?
