Feingold To Democrats....
Be a Democrat!
(AP/Yahoo)"We must get out of our political foxholes and be willing to clearly and specifically point out what a strategic error the Iraq invasion has been," Feingold, D-Wis., told a National Press Club audience.I hope the Democrats are listening, because running out the clock in 2006 and hoping that will win them the House or Senate is the wrong decision.

If Democrats don't take the fight to the Republicans, they will be forced to defend themselves against the Republicans "Uber Patriotic" calls to Nationalism run amok.
He said some Democrats in Congress gave in to "intimidation" by the Bush administration when they voted to authorize the war in 2002, and warned: "If we do not show both a practical and emotional readiness to lead in the fight against terrorism, we will lose in '06 and we will lose in '08, just like we did in '02 and '04."
