Senator Feingold guestblogs at dailykos
Like all Americans, I woke up on the morning of September 11th, 2001 as though it was simply another day. The horrific events that unfolded made it anything but, and our lives were changed forever. In the days after 9/11, I was proud to stand with the President in strong support of the authorization to use force against those who attacked us. During those days our President showed great leadership. Politics were put aside, the country pulled together and for a brief time we were united.
In the four-plus years since, everything changed. The President exploited the climate of anxiety, misusing the trust he was given in the wake of the attacks on 9/11 to, among other things, grab intrusive powers in the Patriot Act, and take us into a war in Iraq that has been a diversion from the critical fight against terrorism.

Of course I want him to run. I'll sign.
There's a politician I respect!
Thanks for the link - would have missed this.
LOL That Feingold, what an actor.
Well Andrew, I can see you've been listening to Rush again. But what do you think? Do you know what you think?
