Feingold to Democrats: Stand Up to Bush...
(AP) WASHINGTON - Sen. Russ Feingold, a potential anti-war candidate in the 2008 presidential field, urged fellow Democrats on Monday to show more backbone in challenging President Bush on Iraq.

"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,"

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."

"President Bush says Democrats have a pre 9/11 mentality, I think Bush has a pre 1776 mentality..."

He and Conyers have been left on an island by the Dem leadership. Whether or not the Party leadership recognizes it, they represent the mainstream of the party, not the Bidens, Clintons and Warners of the world.
