FEINGOLD: Congress Has Constitutional Power to End Iraq War

[paperhandsunion]

If I had a dream Democratic Ticket it would Be Feingold and Gov. John Lynch of New Hampshire. Feingold/Lynch 2012!!! lol I wish...

[NYerintransit]

Not senator anymore!!!

[athar077]

Is this guy ever wrong ? Lucky are the people of Wisconsin. Only man I believe could bring genuine peace, justice and end poverty in America and hopefully to the world.

[john51880]

Vote for Ron Johnson!

[RoySC1]

Do you believe in allowing your government to steal wealth from your grandchildren? It may, or may not, surprise you to find out that your Constitution contains a license for Congress to do exactly that. It is the 2nd clause, Section 8, Article I, the power of Congress to borrow money on the credit of the United States. This is where all of the peoples problems lie, and this power must be abolished if we are to really be a free people in this country. It must be done by Article V.

[prebenso]

and what good did that all do 2010 and you are still there with even more troops

[Iodun]

[LukeGalen]

So gullable and ignorant. Hehehe I love it. ~Galens~

[ndesai256]

If feingold was in the race for POTUS i would support him in the heartbeat!

Obama/Feingold 08

[Blitzkreig19]

that's a great idea!

[Andimia55]

Feingold has stated that he would rather fight the fight from his seat in Senate, though I wish that he would run for president. He makes me proud to be a Wisconsinite.

[brittniebob2]

Why are there so many people voting for candidates who agree with staying in the war. I think whoever agrees with a staying in the war should be the ones to fight it or pay for it!

[Gettingstartedg]

am suprised they didnt mention 9,11

[olmosm1]

Great speech, to bad its just a bunch of BULL they are not going to do anything. so amerika I'll see you in HELL.

[z777z]

The NWO illuminati keep free energy from the masses to keep us enslaved to oil,the Iraq war is to destroy Islam,chritsians are next,the US goverment has built concentration camps all over the USA

[jrproca]

How can anyone trust a congress that allows a president to destroy the constitution and the American peoples freedomes and rights to justice they were sworn to protect. This government has killed thousands of inocent little children mother and fathers brothers and sisters.Plus thousands of our own young men and women.There are criminal acts of commission and omission By saying and doing nothing You are just as guilty as the ones doing it.How do you live with your self.

[FatherWarhol]

More and more people are realising that the Iraq War was a Liberal war. Just take George Bush as face value. Universal Freedom, Democracy, Human Rights, Regime Changing the individual fascist dictators = Pure Liberalism.

[brucaX10]

AMITABH BACHCHAN is GREATER JESUS CHRIST.HE WILL be REMEMBERED FOR QUITE OVER 2,000 YEARS. HIS VOICE, HIS WALK,HIS EYES, HIS INTELLIGENCE,HIS CHARISMA, HIS GOOD LOOKS, HIS CONFIDENCE, HIS HEIGHT, HIS UNEQUALLED TALENT, HIS PERSONALITY,HIS HUMANISM, HIS STATURE - YOU NAME IT. NO ONE IN THE WORLD WILL EVER COME CLOSE. DON'T BE JEALOUS. HE IS THE ENVY OF THE WORLD.HIS VOICE AND DIALOGUE DELIVERY ALONE ARE WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION.

[greatbroad]

I'm going to be there, 9/15, too.

[johnkim100530]

Stupid Americans failed to elect enough Democrats to the Congress to impeach Bush. There is nothing we can do until the next election. Clear and simple.

[greatbroad]

Look in any mirror to see the person who can help. I have letters published in local papers and have a sign decorating my front yard w/Impeachment message. Cars honk as they go past, too. People shake my hand.

[Marine4life09]

I AM A UNITED STATES MARINE AND I AM DISCUSTED WITH YOU DEMOCRATS!!! "Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged" -President Abraham Lincoln. SO TELL ME DEOMCRATS...WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU GUYS DOING TO ME AND MY FELLOW MARINES CUTTING OFF OUR FUNDING AND TRYING TO PULL US OUT!

[ez4mm]

I'm not a democrat but I can answer with another presidential quote "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Theodore Roosevelt (1918). Marine4life my heart does break for all you servicemen. You have the best of intentions and then a you're sent to die in a war that can only be won by making profit to it's investors.

[theoshow2]

If they cut the funding, you won't even be able to log on and play on the internet all day with your KBR peons.

[greatbroad]

Ever read the writings of Major General Smedley Butler? Read his: "I was a gangster for Capitalism." It's all on Google.

[ben5017]

THE DEMOCRATS ARE AS BAD AS THE PRO WAR REPUBLICANS ... THE WAR IS against the will of the founder's intent!

The foudners faught for their freedom from an intrusive govt such as ours is ... IUt's time to respect other nations!

[Chief8888]

failure of working with the country and the the percantage which is {16%} approved by the people. Wait isnt that lower then bushes approval rating. wow because when the gop had the majority it had a higher approval rating but since democrats have the majority now it has the worst approval rating in a decade. i dont like bush either but at least he can run the country with a d average mind while a couple dozen democrats can fuck up this country even more.

[Wheresthegood]

FEINGOLD is right and Bush is a dictator. Dems are nothing but pussies and bullshitters just like Bush. They were elected to end the war and instead they funded the and took impeachment off the table. Don't vote for either of the two major parties ever again. They can't be trusted. Elect some new independent bullshitters.

[greatbroad]

Don't you see, it is all a show. The true power is hidden behind the scenes and Bush is expendable. Some have suggested people register as independents to send a message to Washington, D.C. that they can no longer take our vote for granted.

[Pizerl]

Are trying to get my panties in a pinch?You probably are a raging homosexual trying to act like your tough but really you are aching for some boy-pussy!

[icu812a]

Unlike the 30-40% of absolute geniuses who agree with a president who didn't even know that there were Sunnis and Shiites that were just waiting for Saddam to leave before continuing their 1300-year spat.

As for the 10% comment, that's beyond pathetic. Last I checked in a democracy, everyone's vote counted the same. Seeing as how democracy is why the US is there, the least you can do is get it right back at home.

[shanepipher]

congress has a constutional responsibility to carry out the will of the people of America and Bush is trying to break the cheaks and balance system our forefathers put in place. bush sees himself as all powerful, and the rest of the world sees him as a tyrant. we can only pray congress can stop this man b4 2008, then we can end the war by voting against the GOP

[kleercut]

Feingold is exactly right.

Bush is acting like a dictator, and no one has stepped up to stop him. Checks and balances exist for just such an occasion. Congress is one of these checks and balances. Wake up America and thunderously support your congress! They are the only branch working FOR YOU!!

[tjw12]

The Day America was forced to surrender by the democrats. In times of war, it is better to listen to military leaders than to what politicians think voters want. Congress, you are a disgrace, you are cowards, you are manipulators, you are liars, you are weak, you have ZERO idea how to lead anything let alone this country! You need to surrender rather than force our military to surrender.

[wiskawind]

Our military is doing what the "Comander in Chief" tells them to do;that is how it works! Our forefathers set up our congress with thses powers, so America could never fall into the hands of another King or dictator. A safe guard, if you will, for American's freedom. I love to watch our goverment work; just poetry in motion. (smile) "The mills of the Gods grind slowly, but they grind exceeding fine."

[icu812a]

A little perspective on what the "rest of the world" (not to mention 60-70% of America) thinks about how things are going, isn't it?

[Meatpieandtatters]

Feingold=ubiquitous jerkwad.

[wiskawind]

This American is marching on April 28th to Impeach Bush/Cheney for war crimes against the American people and against humanity! If you are a true American, stand up and demand impeachment!!

[shooteraod]

Embarrased??? Me??? Not hardly...we have guns here and we know how to use them. If things are too tough for you wherever the Hell you are...pack your shit and move COMRAD!!!

[kaiserzosa]

Russ is the Thomas Jefferson of the new era

[yruapain]

. shame this guy not ya president marginally better than what ya got. .perhaps some of those brainless ignorant egotist should stand by the parents that daily see sons and daughters home in bags.then hand em the flag. sadly people are giving lives to that thing if ya can stand and give flag after flag to grieving parents in the name of patriotism,then yes patriotism is pollution.but what is patrotic about fighting in someone else country and a country who no harmed you.

[Johnnielixer]

Although i didn't see combat, i did serve and I can tell you that not all veterans think alike. Case in point, all the evidence points to the corruption of our government, not in just this war but in all things. Ignore the rantings of extremists, lest its madness infect you. Take no side but truth and hold them accountable for their deceit. Let Israel be Israel and fix the problems inside America for Americans. America is still asleep.

[AnyeForti]

Check out this New Congress in town animation

[samueldrdr]

Ok! I don't get it,

Your president is retard,

Your system is corrupted,

Media tells you lyes and shit but truth.

You being slaved and badly manipulated.

Q. What daFUCK are you US citizens doing about it???

[FlatTax]

We, as ubiquitous American citizens, are mulling the Idea of invading Algeria. We want to see "our" Tanks rolling in Algeria's streets.

[shooteraod]

I have been to war you dickless punk...Viet nam...1969...Phu Bia and I am directly responsible for alot of MVA deaths...so YOU hide on your porch. The place that you live...the safety that you enjoy did NOT come from PUSSY-ASSED liberals...but by me and people like me who go after and kill the fucks that want to destroy your sorry ass. Talking to settle whatever is bullshit...so deal with them now or deal with them later...either way, join the troops and the military or shut the fuck up PUSSY.

[GGUBoss]

Shooteraod, to this two-tour Viet Nam Vet liberal you sound like a phony-assed wannabe, pal. If you are really a vet, Viet Nam did not teach your ignorant ass a single damned thing. The truth is that sitting on your couch and talking trash - like you are doing - is bullshit. It is easy for you to sit on your ass and talk tough - why not, it is other people's blood.

We did not fight MVA in Viet Nam, dufus, they were NVA

[wiskawind]

I like this guy! He knows America belongs to the people, not Bush and his hench-men. Bush works for us and it's time he figures that out before "We the People," impeach him!(smile)

[kaiserzosa]

Anyone that does not agree with Russ Feingold is an idiot. He is by far the best senator in the United States.

[shooteraod]

Hmmmm...another QUEEN-PUSSY CHICKEN SHIT CANDY-ASS LIBERAL. His idol is probably Jame Fonda. The doctor should have bitch-slapped his Mother at his birth.

[Pizerl]

Why don't you place yourself in the shoes of the soldiers out in Iraq or the people who live there!We will see who the cany-ass is.How can you not see past the propaganda and not want to stop all the killing?Feingold has been the only logical voice in the government.He should run for president-but there are too many brainless,ignorant,egotists like you who pollute your mind with patriotism and bullshit without having the guts too experiance all that goes along in war.

[zman5a]

And Lexdisya, if you were referring to me, I would be happy to debate any intelligent person at any time, just don't throw out skull and bones and conspiracy theories I've had enough already.

[zman5a]

Good for you he's hated by the majority of the troops cuz he's a qwak! He talks with a tough tone about giving up, how contadictory. All the libs just talk and talk. I want somebody to tell me 1 THING THEY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED since they have had control of congress. THE ONLY THING is making people hate our government and purpose of our troops more, they shouldn't beallowed to get paid for doing nothing but talking stupid all day!

[Hodge182]

don't you think you just described the majority of politicians? liberals are not the only ones that sit around and talk.

[HeatSeekingMedia]

Russ speaks for me and everyone I know!

Republicans have some serious blood on their hands.

[doodle564]

god bless you sheepls, keep beliveing what you hear on fox news and listen to what your mother government tells you. kids like you who have no intelligence are no better than animals that need to be slaughterd unless you idiots wake up.

[zman5a]

I'm embarressed to have this idiot from my state too, but that's the price we pay for being in such a fire breathing Liberal state.

[Lexdisya]

Would you care to engage in a debate over some specific points? I look forward to it.

[Pizerl]

You must be one of the only brainless cheeseheads left in your state.Must be easy to have everything you want,clean water,electricity,safety that you or your family won't be killed when you step out your door.You should be embarressed for yourself you selfish,uninformed cheesehead!

[fusionguitar]

Don't blame the american people for Bush's election successes. There is a great deal of proof for the rigging of the elections, just look up Greg Palast or BBC.

[ibelin1]

This man is a hero! He is the voice we needed in congress! Thank you Russ for fighting for our constitutional rights! I nominate you for president! You are the voice of the people! GOD BLESS YOU!!!!

[NuLiForm]

..heh..both sides know better, it's got them what they wanted. Everybody wasting time fighting, bikering, Doing Nothing! Meanwhile, back on the farm, bushco carries on with their Global land grab. Nice going people. Take a bow. can we say Duh? Sheep!..baa..

[cordbyrd]

Feingold is a moron he needs to go back and read the Constitution

[coa6a7]

test

[calmgoat]

There is no mass destruction weapon in Iraq.. Americans just had been fooled by their president. And yet they still voted him again as a president.. this show americans can be fooled easily...

[Adrazar]

"Well first off, thank you for risking your life for us."

He is not risking his life for you, he is risking his life for the presidents wet dream of being a "war president".

[psat14322]

I'm so embarrassed to have this idiot from my home state.

[pongman]

Let the Iraqis decide their fate. US out now!

[BUDGIE786]

u killed saddam u gain control of oil you killed many muslims now yeah withdraw the troops from iraq your job is now satisfied thats what bush wanted

[saintpauly]

THIS is why we lost in NAM b/c of commie cocksuckers like FAGgold and the rest of those Demoncats

[Baelz]

You know nothing of your history then.

[saintpauly]

what like how congress de funded the war protests by college cocksuckers and the media hand selecting the news that came out of the region(no good news)

[igimaru]

ur a retard, and nice english by the way, barely could understand u

[icu812a]

America should be embarrassed to win this war - whether or not they can is irrelevant next to what this war stands for. How's that for some warm humble pie?

[Ratzaroony]

This is pretty funny since the Democrats said themselves that they would not cut funding.... This is a totally political move, and you guys are buying it. I also find it funny that he's saying the President used fraudulent evidence to go to war, when Feingold voted FOR the war after seeing all the evidence. The fact is that everyone was wrong. The CIA, the President, the Congress, Great Britain, The Clinton Presidency, etc etc.... EVERYONE was wrong, not just the President.

[Ender1zero1]

you're certainly entitled to your opinion. Polital move or not he's telling the truth, and Bush lied/concocted evidence to get us into a war HE wanted so IMO no matter who is wrong he is more wrong not that is matters to the people dieing for his vengeance. As far as WMDs go I'm sure he believed Saddam still have them after Rumsfeld probably still had the reciepts.

[abstracht]

ACTUALLY, Feingold voted against the Iraq War Resolution. The rest of your comment is equally wrong. For one of many examples, the CIA told BushCo not to claim that we knew Iraq had mobile bioweapons labs as the info was extremely dubious - they took it out of speeches, told them not to say it, and they did anyway. RUBE!

[Dreadpirate9022]

check your facts, feingold didnt vote for the war

[saintpauly]

NOW! its another Vietnam.

[TrevorPace]

Damn about time someone said that!

[Ender1zero1]

Thank you for posting this VIDEO what is a decent thoughtful man doing in Congress? His job!! Now lets hope the rest of them took notes.

[MKB2814]

Russ Feingold is worth every cent he gets for a salary!

As a taxpayer, it's always nice to see my money put to good use. Principled, dedicated, hardworking, intelligent, fair, and rational. Russ Feingold has all the qualities so many politicians pretend to have. Thanks to Wisconson and please make sure he stays for a long time!

[sheldon91]

Easily the most honorable, principled and consisten Senator in Congress. Wisconsin's got some serious bragging rights.

[g587802]

Cut the funding, then impeach, then allow civilians to press cival charges!

[southboundcinema]

To quote Brian Johnson, "For those about to rock - FIRE - we saluuuute you." Good work, Senator Feingold. Now make it stick.

[JackieTacoma]

We need to call and write Congress and the media and tell them we don't buy their false choice: Support the troops or cut off the funds for this war.Make yourself heard and give "cover" to the scaredy-cat Democrats who are afraid Bush/Cheney will blame them for the chaos in Iraq that WILL happen whether we stay 3 months or 3 years. If the Democrats can muster the courage that Feingold has enough Republicans will turn on Bush and Feingold's bill can pass. Pick up your phone NOW!

[ralphdjeeper]

right on

[sacopenapa]

It is absolutely refreshing to see and hear maturity and sanity coming from a polititian! End this imoral, illegal ocupation. Probe the current White House administration! Investigate the White House, arest Bush and Cheney! Restore the USA image, and above all: "Change the USA forigner policies around the Globe!

[ralphdjeeper]

SUPPORT THE TROOPS,SUPPORT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA we are at war,the liberal left does neather,=TRAITORS AND BASTARDS

[Clockworkforest]

Ending war is the ultimate support of troops - it ensures their life.

Following the constitution is supporting the USA - it is the document that makes us the USA.

The Liberal left is as much a myth as the Conservative right is.

[gbroagfran]

speaking as a former service member your comment is the ulimate garbage.

[Clockworkforest]

Who me? Well first off, thank you for risking your life for us. Respectfully, I do not see what your Service has to do with my comment, and do not know why you said my comment was garbage - could you give me more details?

[Lordsuhn]

Make a convincing rational argument ralphdjeeper, and maybe I will agree with you. All you have done is made a demand and an ad hominem attack.

[BJBlitzstein]

"Those who are to conduct a war cannot in the nature of things be proper or safe judges whether a war ought to be commenced, continued or concluded."

[pyrrho314]

this guy rocks, only Senator of either party to oppose the original Patriot Act.

Man votes his conscience and shows no fear.
