Dems Reject Feingold Censure

Having been forced out of the loop with the end of the Dubai Ports scandal, the Democrats have to create one with a censure vote in Congress. Instead they seem to be getting Civil War: Democrats distanced themselves Monday from Wisconsin Sen. Russell Feingold's effort to censure President Bush over domestic spying, maneuvering to prevent a vote that could alienate swing voters. Republicans dared Democrats to vote for the proposal. "Some Democrats in Congress have decided the president is the enemy," Vice President Dick Cheney told a Republican audience in Feingold's home state. The VP had more to say, of which I agree entirely: Cheney said Monday, "The outrageous proposition that we ought to protect our enemies' ability to communicate as it plots against America poses a key test of our Democratic leaders." "The American people already made their decision," Cheney added. "They agree with the president." Feingold was the lone senator to oppose the 2001 Patriot Act. Two weeks ago, he was joined by three other senators in opposing a renewal of the law with some new curbs on police powers. Feingold called the curbs meaningless. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20060313/D8GAVLBG0.html
